15 Ways to MINDFUCK Yourself

Your worldview is about to be violently expanded. Are you ready?

1) Go lay on the grass in a quiet place... Take a few deep breaths, relax, and stare up at the sky for a few minutes. Now realize that you are literally stuck to a massive rock, 8,000 miles wide, hurtling through space at 70,000 miles per hour, around a gigantic ball of fire burning at 9,941 degrees F (5,550 C), through a Universe that has no beginning or end.

Consider this question... Have you ever tried something that you knew would be unpleasant...just to feel what it was like? eg. touching something that shocks you, eating a very exotic food, touching a hot surface, poking yourself with a needle If your answer was yes, consider what you just acknowledged: that even painful experiences can be worthwhile because it is just that -- an experience! Perhaps now it will make more sense why we experience pain, hunger, disease, heartbreak, loss, etc. What if instead of those being ills brought on by bad karma, an unloving god or chance, we are choosing them JUST FOR THE EXPERIENCE. And only from our very limited, microscropic perspective do these experiences seem so horrible? It's all about perspective, baby.

3) Glimpse the world on LSD

4) NDT’s Fascinatingly Disturbing Fact

TL;DR: Chimpanzee DNA is 1% different than human DNA. Yet our skills and abilities are exponentially above chimpanzees. This considered, what would a species be like that was 1% different from humans in the OPPOSITE direction of chimpanzees. Their children would do calculus with ease, and our most brilliant epiphanies would sound like 1 + 1 = 2 to them. Now, consider the fact that any life form not from Earth would surely be far more different from humans than 1%. So the idea that we will meet aliens that are remotely close to our level of cognition and perception is laughable.

We know much more about death than you think... Near-death experiences (NDE's) occur when a person literally dies for a short period of time (no heart beat or brain activity) and are brought back to life sometime after. The Near-Death Experience Research Foundation and other similar archives have compiled thousands of these experiences. Most all of them report something like this: “I was in a place of love, kindness, compassion, contentment, acceptance, joy...a place of "knowing". I perceived myself and other beings as masses of energy...all connected and yet separate. There was simply a sense of all knowing.” Not only is death far from a complete mystery, it also sounds fantastic.

6) Read About Videogame-ism

IBOGA Iboga (or Ibogaine) is one of the least well-known psychedelics. It comes exclusively from a shrub indigenous to western Africa, which is part of the reason you've probably never heard of it. Crazy Fact 1: It is used clinically to treat heroin addiction within the span of a few days. Crazy Fact 2: Most every Iboga experiences involve vivid interactions with entities who go on diatribes about the user's life and what he or she should change -- hence the cure for addiction. Crazy Fact 3: Some users report having that foreign consciousness stay with them for days after the trip, continuing to give advice and answer their questions.

Here is one such report and the full Erowid index of Iboga trip reports.

8) The 5 Senses Do you think the only senses that exist are those we know about? We have already found other senses in animals, eg. dogs with fear & bats with supersonic waves. It's not like you could just dream up a sense either. Imagine attempting to fully explain sound to a deaf person, or smell to someone without a nose. What utterly fantastic senses are out there that we are simply missing?

Aliens exist...period. Given there are countless numbers of planets existing in this universe, we can assume from a mathematical perspective that there are infinite planets (Who is to say there are not? Where and how would the universe 'end' anyway?). Now let's be extremely pessimistic and assume that the chance of alien life existing on any one planet is 0.00000000000000000000000001%. That's a damn small chance, but it's not infinitely small. If you run an experiment with even those odds an infinite number of times, you are guaranteed to find a positive result at some point. Therefore, extraterrestrial life exist. Let's stop kidding ourselves with Vatican-inspired logic, shall we?

Try to imagine a new, undiscovered color. A color so far outside the human range of perception that it is literally indescribable. Just as you cannot hear all frequencies of sounds...certainly you did not think you had seen all of the possible colors?

11) Attempt to full grasp infinity Try for a moment to fully imagine being alive for all of eternity. Just picture knowing that there will NEVER, EVER, EVER be an end to your existence. It's either the most dismal or the most exciting thought to entertain. Your mind will race, looking for some kind of finality to satisfy this hypothetical. It won't find it. Since we exist in a third-dimensional reality (with time being the 4th dimension), we cannot ever fully grasp how time (or space) is able to not have a beginning or an end. This is akin to explaining the concept of depth to someone existing in a 2-D plane. Depth is beyond comprehension in a 2-D world, let alone the concept of existing in many levels of depth simultaneously (as we tend to do).

12) Learn about the 10 Dimensions

Governments think they can... - Tell you what you can and cannot do to your body - Establish 'borders', preventing you from freely roaming this Earth - Detain you indefinitely for breaking rules they created - Mandate your paying a percent of your income without any say as to where the money goes - Tell you who you can and cannot marry - Spend more money on war than on helping their own people - Continue this behavior without the people realizing who holds the real power It is only a matter of time...

14) Read about the Double-Slit Experiment

15) You are alive . In the ridiculous vastness of time, now is the moment when you are alive. You could possibly be SO many other things, but instead you are here, reading this article, breathing and alive on this playground of an Earth. What are you waiting for? Go explore ;) Better yet, go change the world!

      Silkroad – it’s a website which lies outside of what google etc. can finde something referred to as darkweb or deep web – it’s whats below the tip of the iceberg that is the internet. You’ll need the tor browser to access it and the adress (called onions) also you should get a lot of proxies as this space is not protected in terms of virus and such. Anyways you can anonymously get your hands on litterally anything through deep web – drugs, weapons (even nuclear), assasins, the worst in snuff and cp. you name it.

    I’ve done ibogaine, a long while back I was addicted to painkillers, I had tried everything, until I discovered ibogaine. It’s not like DMT, Shrooms, or acid, it’s like being nature, all of it, its hard to explain with words, think of a oneness and vivid separation at the same time.

    Nothing could be 100% for everyone: all depend what kind of knowledge somebody have; what makes me or anyone more unique, would be in our thoughts, which at the same time thoughts are so confidential that make all of us unique. But we could show part of them: only in certain way too; depend the subjects we may be able to have in knowledge. Food and sex are the most common; also still divided in many ways, Human brain are the most complex issues in the World, and may be able to be in the Universe too.
    Let’s putted this way; most species could wary about food and sex, and many of them also could be very cooperative. Humans are not: we have many thoughts which create jealous hatred and greed; for that matter in society wars only which many of them think is such solutions. For that matter; not even thinking about the others for compassion or even sorry for what have doing. Now at this date November 07 of 2012: we have any election in the USA which make the people divided in only two men; but both could be the bad for the worse, when comes to do about the well been of the States, or even of the World. By going back to High Existence of last issue: and which mention about; and asking what we may think about nuclear explosion, or die. That’s the point about human ignorance of creating Weapons of Mass Destruction. Ignorance and stupidity still continue: by thinking control the World with New World Order, and suppose behind the strength having with the weapons that may having. All of species could vanish with Humankind. 07/11/2012! By A.Oscar

    Just a little correction, humans have a lot more than the traditional five senses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense
    It is a common misconception that we only have five. Really awesome post though!

    Very cool post!

    I really liked the one about NDEs and Iboga.

    The LSD video was pretty cool as well. It’s a bit like the one that makes you see a sillhouette of Jesus’s face.

    The first one has been one of my main perspective points whenever it gets too much. Of course it was a mindfuck at first but now it is strangely calming to think about. Further to that is to look at the stars. I mean, the sun is awesome, but to contemplate how insanely far away all of the other stars are (and that there is a good chance they are gone) is pretty mindblowing!

    P.S. I’m saving that top image. When are moving tattoos coming out, again? ;P

    I have a friend who is partially color blind. He has trouble differentiating between green and brown, blue and purple, and other like colors. He can only tell if the grass is green by looking at whether it looks wilted and dead, or fresh and pliable. I cannot fathom what colors look like to him nor can he imagine what red green “truly” looks like. Given such obstacles to human perception and cognition, it is clear that there is so much more depth than what meets the eye. That reminds me of something.

    Imagine that you are a drawing of a human on a piece of paper, which means you are 2D. Something “peels” you off the paper and holds you up to the 3D world. What you see is also in 2D, despite the fact that there is a third dimension.

    We humans perceive in a 3D world.

    Now imagine you were “peeled” off into a 4D world. What would that look like? We won’t know, because we can only see in 3D. But that doesn’t mean a fourth dimension doesn’t exist. And it also doesn’t mean that sudden and unexpected occurrences that originated in higher dimensions are not perceivable to the human eye; just that we can only see their 3D qualities.

    This made me think about the existence of religion and the meaning of spirituality. They both involve a devoted faith to something unknown; something that transcends our 3D world. What if spirituality is humanity’s perpetual attempt to understand and connect to things from greater dimensions? Maybe our human capacity to think and to reason is unique in the sense that it is capable of penetrating simply 3D planes with enough exercise and incredible willpower. Hence some people can accomplish extraordinary physical feats after many arduous years dedicated to thought and inner concentration. They’ve mentally trained themselves so intensively that they are capable of overcoming 3D world obstacles and thus access a deeper and smaller point of knowledge that is greater than all of our world.

    So now this makes me wonder: why do some people choose to remain ignorant? Why do some people choose not to know? Why do some people not question what they take for granted as reality? Why are we trying to make our physical lives easier and more comfortable, through all kinds of technological advancement, at the expense of mental and spiritual advancement? Why do we try to conquer but not to understand? I am guilty of all of this, and I question myself and my own principles because of this. But if thinking about such things and questioning such things brings about psychological discomfort and even pain, then is ignorance not bliss and thus preferable?

    Am I ranting again? Thanks for the post Jordan. Reminded me of my own mindfucks ;)

    Another thing that mindfuck me is that what we see of the world is the perception of our eyes, as humans. Every species view the world differently, some see more the colors than us, some better from a far distance, some see the UV rays, etc. But how the world really look like?
