DM Turner- The Esseential psychedelic guide

with my identity and experience of life, was all a creation of
Consciousness.
The experience sought by many practicing Eastern religions closely
resembles CydelikSpace. However, those who have apparently attained this
"Enlightenment" have expressed only a partial understanding of
CydelikSpace. They seldom describe vast and detailed perceptions, such as
the infinite variety of life forms that have existed throughout time and space,
and in the non-manifest realms. Although the states of mind these people
experience may be vast, they do not seem to be without limitations. Rarely
are "Enlightened" persons even aware of the thoughts in others' minds.
I'll even hazard to suggest that complete cognizance of CydelikSpace is not
possible for any individual or entity. There appears to be a paradox in that to
comprehend CydelikSpace in full one must shrink to a point of zero, at
which stage there would be no experience or perception. To function as a
human, and comprehend all of CydelikSpace, is not possible. This is not to
say that one can't have some extremely grandiose experiences in this arena.
But I don't believe one can ever reach a final stage of Enlightenment,
attainment of a state from which they have nothing further to learn, nowhere
further to go.
Many mystical religions preach pursuit of this Satori experience at the
expense of not valuing one's personal identity or ego. These philosophies
tend to degrade the development of personality, character, abilities,
relations, even evolution itself. While the ego or identity certainly needs to
be transcended to enter CydelikSpace, it is only by continually rebuilding
our identity that our lives continue. My philosophy has been to use the
psychedelic, spiritual, ego-loss experience to break down my limitations and
definitions of myself, to keep my identity from stagnating, then to rebuild
and develop in the manner I choose, a wiser, healthier, happier ego.
Indeed it is this loss of ego, identity, or self-awareness which admits one
into CydelikSpace. And since any psychedelic can dissolve the identity to a
degree, any psychedelic can admit one into CydelikSpace. However, with
most psychedelic experiences the tendency is for the ego to begin to
reinstate itself immediately after it has dissolved. While the experience of
CydelikSpace seems timeless while in it, if timed on a clock the deep
portion of the experience usually lasts but a few seconds.
My LSD experience in Death Valley is a case in point. At first my
self-identity was dissolving slowly. The pace increased until the ego was in
a rapidly deteriorating state. The "peak" during which "I became the One
Mind onto which all the experiences of time have been etched," lasted for
