I read the rules and I'm pretty sure this is allowed, if I'm wrong please correct me. Anyway, I was raised catholic, then drifted toward being an atheist. In the past couple of years I've had some experiences with altered states of consciousness, using entheogenic plants, such as this:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayahuasca

These experiences showed me that I'm just a human and I didn't know anything really. So now I call myself agnostic, as I don't know. But there does seem to be some sort of higher level consciousness in the universe, what native Americans call the great mystery, or the Greeks called the logos. I've come to think that all religions basically come from shamanism, and that for whatever reason, somewhere along the way, they lost the main sacrements. In other words, religion was once experienced based and not faith based. Also, I would say that based on these experiences, I don't think humans don't know much of anything about consciousness, or where it comes from. As far as belief goes, I like to say that I don't believe anything, as believing in something automatically excludes you from accepting that things opposite, if new evidence emerges.

Has anyone else here had such experiences, and how did it effect what you think about the possibility of some sort of god (or something) or lack thereof?

Has no one hear drank ayahuasca? Or consumed mushrooms or peyote?

My initial intention for online dating was to find a woman who's had her own life changing experiences with entheogenic plants and or mushrooms.
