Enjoyed the around the fireside vibe style chat. You should do more of these, and release as podcast :)

I wish I had philosophers to talk to. All I have are philosophy professors and classmates.

Have you ever heard of PEAR laboratories and their meticulous research into psi-phemomena? If not, I would highly recommend their material to you.

it is so true that it is the unspeakable and the words matter in respect to better understand and communicate the experiences.
example : oneness/unity ... it is not that we feel connected with nature ... when it happens we simply aknowledge thate we ARE nature . we dont onnect with it. we exist in this universe so we are inheritly onnected to it anywaysor we could not be alive. we simply deny that fact. the psychedelic experience which lets us have this unity just makes us realize the truth. i am the universe manifested as human being, that is true, irrespective of my belief. reality doesnt care about beliefs ... but believing in anything but reality comes with the consequences we can see everywhere, everyday.
Btw, the unity experience, can be had on all psychedelics. dmt, lsd, psilocybin and ketamin as far as i can tell. soit is not the drug/substance itself, but i suspect it happens always when the brain shuts off the frontal cortex, so the ego no longer generates and we can detach and have this unity OOB experience.

What is required for an experience to be considered "real"?

The premise that never seems to be mentioned pertaining to European people is why has no one considered that there is a subversive element to all of it, and why are we so easily propagandized to allow our own undoing? Nationalism is perfectly fine and seen as a good healthy concept unless it is Europeans. All European people are Germanic in origin which where our "influences" stem from.

Marxism is a euphemism for an insidious inimical alien element that has shapeshifted into our culture and been allowed to pass of as our own, whilst working for the most part totally unchallenged to any effective degree, for another entity, all to our detriment. Having said that, props to you for going to psychadelics because the are a vastly untread terrain in out "civilized" world which have much to offer.
