2Alys BuckmanQuotesQuotes

Alys Buckman
Alys Buckman: I remember once when I first smoked pot from a water pipe rather than a joint. It, the smoke, was cool, and I didn't realize how much I had inhaled. All of a sudden I died. For a little instant, but several seconds long. The world, every sensation, including even the awareness of my own body, faded out. And it didn't like leave me in isolation in the usual sense because when you're alone in the usual sense you still have sense data coming in even it it's only from your own body. But even the darkness went away. Everything just ceased. Silence. Nothing. Alone... it wasn't like fainting. I didn't feel I was going to fall, because I had nothing to fall with, no body ...and there was no down to fall toward. Everything, including myself, just expired. Like the last drop out of a bottle, And then, presently, they rolled the film again. The feature we call reality.

22Phil WesterburgQuotesQuotes

Phil Westerburg
Phil Westerburg: A drug such as KR-3 breaks down the brain's ability to exclude one unit of space out of another. So here versus there is lost as the brain tries to handle perception. It can't tell if an object has gone away or if it's still there. When this occurs the brain can no longer exclude alternative spatial vectors. It opens up the entire range of spatial variation. The brain can no longer tell which objects exist and which are only latent, unspatial possibilities. So as a result, competing spatial corridors are opened, into which the garbled percept system enters, and a whole new universe appears to the brain to be in the process of creation.

23Phil WesterburgQuotesQuotes

Phil Westerburg
Phil Westerburg: KR-2 is a major breakthrough. Anyone affected by it is forced to perceive irreal universes, whether they want to or not. As I said, trillions of possibilities are theoretically all of a sudden real, chance enters and the person's precept system chooses one possibility out of all those presented to it. It has to choose, because if it didn't, competing universes would overlap, and the concept of space itself would vanish.

24Phil WesterburgQuotesQuotes

Phil Westerburg
Phil Westerburg: Now, one aspect of space is that any given unit of space excludes all other given units, if a thing is there it can't be here. Just as in time if an event comes before, it can't also come after.

25Phil WesterburgQuotesQuotes

Phil Westerburg
Phil Westerburg: The exclusiveness of space, we've learned, is only a function of the brain as it handles perception. It regulates data in terms of mutually restrictive space units. Millions of them. Trillions, theoretically, in fact. But in itself, space is not exclusive. In fact, in itself, space does not exist at all.

26Phil WesterburgQuotesQuotes

Phil Westerburg
Phil Westerburg: Time-binding is a function of the brain and goes on as long as the brain is receiving input. Now, we know that the brain can't function if it can't bind space as well... but as to why, we don't know yet. Probably it has to do with the instinct to stabilize reality in such fashion that sequences can be ordered in terms of before-and-after - that would be time - and, more importantly, space-occupying, as with a three-dimensional object as compared to, say, a drawing of that object.

27Phil WesterburgQuotesQuotes

Phil Westerburg
Phil Westerburg: Time-binding is a function of the brain. It's a structuralization of perception and orientation.
