The inner healer phenomenon of psyche-delics can be explained or depends- in part- on the diffusion principle. Do you believe psyche-delics contain an intrinsic healing mechanism or an ‘inner healer’ ? 🍄 Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38605658/ #psychedelictherapy #mentalhealth #healing

“[I]n this shadow there is a veil, so that one does not see the Truth which is in him… But when the perfect light appears, the veil will be lifted, and the truth will be revealed.” Enjoying learning about Gnosticism. 🤓

This principle of play and inquiry is something that truly motivates me in what I do 🔬 Science is a method, a way of scrutinizing the world. We shouldn’t take it too seriously; it is a discipline, but it is also playful. 🍄✨

What are people's views on genetic contributions to differential responses to psychedelics e.g., psilocybin specifically?

Like how Schrödinger proposed that genes are like an "aperiodic crystal"—a stable yet complex molecule capable of encoding vast amounts of information, could the same inspiration apply to consciousness and the brain?

Can you think of a really good description of the psychedelic experience that resonates with the idea of brain activity becoming entropic/ disordered/ chaotic under the drug? #psychedelics

Been digging this: Plotinus and the One. In the Enneads, Plotinus describes how: "The One" (or "The Good") is the ultimate source of all reality, and from it, all things emanate — first Nous (Divine Mind), then Psyche (World Soul), and so on. The “multiplicity flows from an original unity” vibe. 🌀

I find this work deeply inspiring and exciting! Exploring ultraweak photon emissions as optical markers of brain activity. 🧠✨ A new study led by Hayley Casey and colleagues explored ultraweak photon emissions — tiny flashes of light produced by your brain’s cells as they work.

The ‘hard problem of #consciousness’ rests on a category error, a map-territory fallacy. It’s a logical absurdity that renders it an ‘impossible problem’ and therefore not a ‘problem’ worth worrying about. I only worry about people worrying about it, and to them I say— “don’t worry!” 😁
