Stuff They Dont Want You to Know - DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) https://youtube/watch?v=r9Rwi-tam1o For millennia, encounters with divine, otherworldly entities have been the most profound human experiences expressed in visions and prophecies, omens and oracles,dreams and revelations. Divine encounters were recorded in the earliest scriptures and reveal the most ancient and most powerful drama that spans Heaven, Earth, and Hell. On the stage of this drama the actors were gods and goddesses, demigods and angels, heroes and heroines, humans and humanoids. The encounters with divine beings had immense power affecting both the life of individuals experiencing them, and communities hearing reports about these encounters. They were the first spiritual illuminations, t ransformative experiences making incredible impact on human affairs, changing the fate of rulers, building or ruining empires, inspiring prophets and sprouting world religions... Divine encounters can be considered the primary source of spiritual wisdom. While all religious individuals would agree that the Scriptures provide the infallible rule for faith and practice, most believers agree that authentic divine encounters carry even higher authority than Holy Scriptures. God spoke to Moses through a revelation, not through a text. The Scripture just followed the experience of the Divine. As God said to Moses (Exodus 24:12; Masoretic Text version): “Come up to Me into the mount and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them.” The citation refers to one of the greatest moments in the history of human civilization. There were more of them, and the most significant developmental steps in ancient history were based on divine encounters. By opening doorways to the ‘supernatural’, divine encounters expose great degree of truth and moral insight. The state of the experiencer’s mind is undeniably altered from the ordinary state of consciousness as it is reflected in the nonordinary perceptions, intense emotional responses, and exceptional cognitive performances accompanying the experience. Elsewhere in this book I outlined the difference between integrative and disintegrative forms of altered states of consciousness (ASCs), and traced the main difference between them to the lack or presence of divination, which is conceived as a process of accessing transformative information from spiritual realms. Among integrative ASCs divine encounters represent the uppermost level, having immense power in facilitating human reintegration on the highest scale: doing nothing less than creating civilization, shaping society in accord with the spiritual realm. Similarly to the less dramatic, although highly adaptive forms of ‘psychointegration’ (Winkelman 2000) – such as shamanic healing, where some kind of restorative information is incorporated into the system to be treated, there has to be an intense information flow in instances of divine encounters resulting in integration on a larger scale, denoted here as ‘sociointegration’ (paraphrasing Winkelman’s term). The sociointegrative form of divine encounters is so profound and transforming, that rational thinking cannot cope with it, and speculative interpretations open up for extraterrestrial intervention, invasion from outer space, and manipulation by nonhuman intelligence. For a reader who has successfully wrestled through my previous chapters it is easier to understand that shamanic journeys and divine encounters have the same principal motif: access to reintegrative, transformative information from spiritual sources, which appear to originate in the ‘nonlocal Universe’. Before arriving at that conclusion, this chapter will lead the reader through other theories dealing with nonhuman invaders from the ‘local Universe’, or extraterrestrial “information providers” of the human race...
