We Are All One

I have long resisted the term, but find I can no longer deny that I have taken on the role. And given my ancestral heritage, having given the Sweatlodge Ceremony to native Americans, I no longer find the resistance to using the term valid.
I am a shaman.
A shaman's role in a community is to use whatever means available to divine the truth. Of course, this role shouldn't need to exist, and only came into existence because of the destruction of their otherwise perfect society (read the history of the Mississippian Culture - educate yourself as to the TRUE nature of the USA and it's colonial, fascist origins).
In a natural society, everyone would be their own shaman. But in a society built upon ignorance, artificial scarcity, and dependence; a shaman becomes necessary to those who would listen to the wisdom of one who asks the questions no one bothers asking.
And when this shaman speaks, you who don't ask any questions whatsoever about your world, better damn well perk up your fucking ears and take a good listen (or read) to what I have to say (or write.)
So, when I get stoned and start thinking about what we humans could really be about; it isn't just one of you ignorant masses of dumbasses being stoned and talking shit. I explore possibilities based on my broad understanding of our universe and ourselves.
And in about 2010, I had a shamanistic experience, witnessed by one of your own, my former caregiver who goes by dgnik much of the time, in which I experienced the naked universe, from outside what I now describe as this box we live in which isolates us from the Universe except through five small conduits which we call our senses.
Think about it. We are blind to our world except through our eyes, ears, nose, sense of touch/temperature, and taste (which is really the same as the sense of smell - did you know the tip of a dog's nose contains "taste buds?") There is a lot going on in our universe which we are not direct witnesses to because we have no capability of sensing it.
But I, for about 15-20 minutes, escaped my senory limitations and was immersed, naked, in the Universe. Of course I could not make much sense of what I experienced, but I did come out of it with a sense that there existed in a universe a substrate upon which everything was built; as a ocean is teaming with life that exists in a substrate of water and ions, so is our Universe full of planets and stars and cosmic particles including photons, all "dissolved" in a "solution" that is yet undescribed.
I have since begun to understand that experience and what it means, and have developed some theses and theories which seem to explain some of what mankind has yet to understand about our universe.
Why does light always travel at the same speed, regardless of other factors? This is explained by there being an unknown, undescribed substrate upon which light travels.
Another thing I got from that experience 6 years ago, and which I was able to experience firsthand, was the possibility that we are projections from four dimensions into three.
I didn't understand this at-first. What I experienced, which I have twice documented on video, was remembering and rexperiencing every memory I had, as well as everything about the future I could reasonably anticipate as possible futures, all while being aware of the present. In short, I existed, for those brief moments, three times now, in the whole of time: past, present, and future. At least, in my mind, my thoughts - my perspective.
This video then represents the culmination, thus far, of my understanding, as I was inspired to develop another thesis: that this fourth dimension from which we project ourselves into this three dimensional world, is no less than time itself. And when you think about it, it makes sense (at least, if you think about it while stoned.)
And, why stoned?
That's simple: because marijuana tends to turn down the volume on the bullshit in your mind by forcing you to reckon with the fact that most of what you believe has been told to you and has no basis for being true. Being stoned puts you in a mindset of questioning what your beliefs where they have no reasonable basis. This is why it is so highly illegal (marijuana is classified with other drugs in the category with the highest punishment, the "most illegal" drugs - why? Because they open your mind and cause you to question the bullshit lies you are told by society.)
So, get stoned, and watch this video:
