This is A WORLD OUT OF MIND, my Online Journal where I explore Consciousness and the Ultimate Nature of Reality by the intentional alteration of my own belief structures, using Salvia Divinorum and additional self-altering meditational techniques drawn from Western Ceremonial Magic.

I always attempt to adhere to the scientific method as much as possible in my explorations, and while I often speak of these experiences as if I knew they were Truth, I always consider the alternative, that it is merely self-deception on my part, and think accordingly. Thus I maintain two parallel world views at once, one aspirational and one a safe fallback into standard materialism.

The more I journey into salviaspace, the more I think the former worldview is the correct one, but there is no objective way to prove that to the world, so I'll let you, the reader, decide for yourselves.

Some thoughts on Time

Some thoughts on Time

What if Time is not *a* dimension as Einstein says, but a series of very short dimensions? As in multiversal dimensions. Each moment being a new static universe, the series becoming a changing dynamic series not unlike a film reel. We could not see this, since we are a part of each one. So time could just be the progression of new dimensions, all of which are already there, static. All possibilities exist "out there" but our consciousness seems to us to pass through them one by one.

  So perhaps we can change directions in time much as we can in space, if each new moment we experience is selected somehow from all of the many mathematically possible "next moments." This seems to me to be a natural conclusion from the "many worlds" theory that I realize many physicists do not favor. Perhaps if we do nothing, the "next moment universe" we experience is the one most probable given the mathematics of the present moment. If we change those odds somehow, perhaps we can select a different already-existing "next moment" universe, or rather a different series of them moving forward.


For this to be true, I think the nature of this very complex multiverse needs to be mathematical and not material. We perceive it as material because we are also mathematical in nature, of course. Similar to Max Tegmark's pet idea.

  1. Hey Brian

    What is your take on those salvia experiences where people seem to "see beyond the veil" but at the same time someone / something seems to be there aggressively and pro-actively trying to "prevent them from seeing it". I remember that Burningmouth used to have quite a few experiences like that, and I have seen others. Is something being kept from us on purpose? If so, by who?b Are we inside some kind of Gnosticism?

  2. It reminds me of Iadldaboath the Demiurge kinda thing I admit. Could be a part of ourselves that doesn't want us to see through to the truth. I've done things on salvia many times that seemed to be "forbidden" and what would happen was that it was like time would stop, everything would like grind to a halt, and it would feel like the universe disapproved of what I had just done, and then the memory of what I did was taken away from me. So I never remember exactly what those things that I did were.

  3. Most severe example was my story of the time my heart imploded. It was like something was taken away that day and I never did get it back. Like I died maybe, and then re-started in a fresh "branch" of my universe, missing what I had, feeling hollow.

  4. Hi there! Writing on your most recent post pragmatically. FYI, there's a little discussion of your gem of a blog on r/salvia recently; in case you might want to join the discussion, you'd be welcome. Are you still exploring salviaspace these days?
