Mescaline, LSD and broadly similar materials act to expel the lower astral sheath from its physical tangency.  (This is said by psychic writers without proof.)  This then results in images from this point in tangent contact to overlap upon the steadfast physical image.  From this defined physical perspective, consciousness in the abstract, with its mental and emotional sizing of sensorial input, is given animation by this intangible other view.  The physical proof to this mental description becomes an intractable task since the contrasting ideas or dimensions are backdrop for each other’s respective domain and thus in a real sense elude truncated yet normal standards for sufficiency of proof.

Defining a brain consciousness at the moment of death requires a solid understanding of non existence. Time becomes increasingly short for the brain outlook.  The concept of the brain as the only unit of consciousness is seemingly locked into certain well rehearsed sets of facts.  The idealistic exclusion of eternal soul, as consciousness, mired in sense and observation, is basic mental outlook for the practice of science.  To position as self, beyond physical life, while remaining familiar with brain consciousness, is the topic of this semilogue.

Overlapping images at the moment of nocturnal awakening define the concept of dream.  Dreaming is then described as the disembarkation of any of the higher intangible bodies outward to their respective birthing.  The closest of these intangibles to the physical body awareness is given the nomenclature of astral or starry.  The name begets the thought of travel through material.  Cosmology comes to mind.

Soul is alluded to but resists all description. Existence defines consciousness.

Mescaline disturbs the chemical sense balance at the last rung of soul transmitting consciousness to the physical astral or mental realm.  Any such disturbance requires restructuring the impressions built by time and physical memory deriving from extended dream state awakening equilibrium.  Allowing higher impressions to build in a graduated manner is the proper approach to intuiting.  To shock the interleaving bodies at their nested contact realm is unnecessary, yet a fact of life.  Understanding the broad reality to consciousness allows one to establish a foundation of response, sensitive and facially able to remember those dreams as they occur.  Hopefully this can occur while actively awake.

One might liken the psychedelic effect to the mental indigestion one can accrue in chewing too hard an academic course load.  The dangers are intrinsically different, yet both lead to confusion, vulnerability and their respective nightmares or mental collapse.

Defining how consciousness is changed through a drug is necessary, but where consciousness derives from speaks to a larger scope.  Physical experience obtained by traveling in an airplane evokes definitive sequential imagery, whereas sitting still and ruminating in semantic overtones changes the whole concept of image and consciousness.  In a similar sense, overlapping images from the tide of conscious dream movement becomes more real as one’s disembarkation and arrival evolves into input equal to that of comprehension and reading.  Something that is beyond the scope of normal reading will be somewhat inaccessible to one’s mental habits evolved in time.  One does a balancing act with all modes of awareness.  By reverse logic there would be no point maintaining a physical consciousness and deriving benefit to that physical consciousness if one did not incorporate that physical consciousness at all possible times and extensions.
