“
'My fear of dying was gone': Former cancer patient says psychedelic drugs helped him cope with end of life anxiety


When Rodrigo Nino was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, he turned to psychedelics to ease his anxiety around death. Now, he's helping top scientists to research how hallucinogens helped him, and could help others.
...

“It was scary. It was very scary. After four sessions I had this inner knowing that my fear of dying had gone... Well, not gone but it made me look forward to death. The paradoxical part is that it gets you out of the fear of dying and appreciating life in a much greater way.”

Now, Niño is one of the voices behind what is known as the psychedelic Renaissance, and is pushing for greater research into the potential power of hallucinogenic drugs to treat mental illness. Niño is turning his skills of crowdfunding real estate in NYC to help scientists investigate illegal drugs with psychoactive effects including MDMA, LSD, magic mushrooms and ayahuasca with his non-profit Fundamental.

...

Niño felt his experiences were validated by the findings. “It showed I wasn’t crazy! What I experienced wasn't a placebo effect.”

I'm not shitting on the beneficial qualities of drugs. What I am against is making nonsensical claims with no evidence.

The burden of proof isn't on me to prove you false, you're the one making the claims that the universe is consciousness and ayahuasca.

I’ve given it to you. The documentation is 5,000+ years old, as well as current.

What you are presenting as evidence is not evidence, so there's nothing to form a rebuttal against.

It's akin to personal revelation in religion.

Science asserts intelligent design. Something’s guiding evolution. This is Hindu/Sramanic/Vedic/Buddhist/Jain/Sikh thought since at least 2,800 BCE. They knew about atoms back then, and had a deep understanding of astrology, metallurgy, quantum physics, and generally, much of what modern and post-modern science is rediscovering after writing it off as either heresy or nonsense. This school of thought also is the basis for modern psychology. Psyche means soul. The Study of the Soul.

Science doesn't asset intelligent design - that's a foolish view. Nothing guides evolution except the mechanics. Saying something like that is about as wise as saying it takes intelligence for water to evaporate. I don't think you know jack shit about what the ancients understood, and how it compares to what we know now. So stop talking out of your ass.

Why is it that when faced with unknowns, people jump to the spooky answers? I think it makes them feel good - reminds me of rubbing one out, like metal masturbation. These people have no idea how foolish they look, and that they are immortalizing themselves as fools to all they future offspring. Things you write on the internet will NEVER go away. No matter how anonymous you think you are now, you just arent, and it will only get easier and easier to break any illusion of privacy.

The mechanics are God. We are all God. We are the fabric of existence itself. You’re just too blind to see what I’m talking about. You still haven’t rebutted effectively.

You are the result of fungal spores being carried by the matter from exploding stars to the gravitational orbit of our star, the Sun. The Sun and Earth and Tides of Water from the Moon cultivated those fungal spores. They were the Eukaryotes. They evolved into mushrooms. Then into plants and animals. And then into us. If you can’t see God in the explosion and destruction of stars creating our entire Universe, to include us, I don’t know what to tell you.

Sounds suspect.

Who or what organization is saying the universe itself is consciousness?

It would be more accurate of me to say that consciousness is a part of the fabric of the universe, perhaps a critical part. My understanding is that the universe is comprised of space, time, matter and consciousness. Consciousness seems to transcend the other three components so may be the critical element. At least that is where quantum physics seems to be these days.
