   Dear alt.philosophers,   
      
   As you all know there's been an awful lot of talking about transcendence,   
   but perhaps not so much concrete and specific stuff.   
      
   I thought I'd rectify that by watching the documentary The Spirit Molecule   
   yesterday evening, which explores the uses of DMT.   
      
   The documentary was incomprehensible and mostly consisted of people   
   talking about their trips. ;)   
      
   But... it does raise some interesting speculations. Is the brain just an   
   antenna receiving its order from somewhere else? Do extra-dimensional   
   beings exist? Does DMT remove all "screens" and filters from our conscious   
   minds enabling us to experience the "raw" radio traffic of the universe as   
   it really is? Since our brains are not created to receive that, the result   
   is very weird trips when the brain tries to make sense of what it   
   receives.   
      
   Of course no proof what so ever, but still fun to think about the ideas   
   and theories they propose.   
      
   And for those of you who prefer more down to earth magic, I recommend the   
   documentary Deceptive Practice which is about the legendary card magician   
   Ricky Jay.   
      
   Enjoy! =)
