And then there's the Canadian tennis player at the Australian Open who, in the middle of his match, had a vision of Snoopy on the court before passing out from the heat.
"'I was dizzy from the middle of the first set and then I saw Snoopy and I thought, "Wow Snoopy, that's weird,"' Dancevic said." http://www.news.com.au/sport/more-sports/canadas-frank-dancevic-faints-after-hallucinating-that-he-saw-snoopy-in-australian-open-heat/story-fndukor0-1226802409203 http://www.news.com.au/sport/more-sports/canadas-frank-dancevic-faints-after-hallucinating-that-he-saw-snoopy-in-australian-open-heat/story-fndukor0-1226802409203 Re "The pineal gland is a possible physical explanation for the visions. But it's also possible that these visions are actually manifestations of subtle beings that exist in another dimension of space and consciousness and are picked up by the mind at its heightened peak of receptivity by DMT.": Yes, I agree it's possible. That's what makes it such a hot topic. If you follow the link I provided you'll also come across this comment from an experienced user of DMT, who says: Hey Clifford, James Kent here, I run the website http://tripzine.com. I published a psychedelic magazine for many years, and a friend recently pointed me to your article on "DMT, Moses and Aliens". Since you asked people to voice their opinion I shall... I have done DMT quite a bit, have interviewed and spent time with the late Terence McKenna, am friends with Rick Strassman, and have studied this issue very closely for the past fifteen years. And though I have not published the results of all my research (yet), I would like to share with you some of my conclusions concerning DMT and the dramatic phenomena it produces. In short, I do not believe DMT is a gateway to an alternate dimension, nor does it provide contact with elves and alien entities. . . Why is the alien/elf archetype so common to the DMT experience? The only answer I have is that we humans must have some kind of innate evolutionary wetworking that forces us to latch onto any piece of anthropomorphic data that pops up in otherwise random sensory data, such as spotting a face peering out from behind the bushes, or spotting another human form hiding in the tall grass. The evolutionary advantage of such a trait is obvious . . . " Read his entire comment and you'll appreciate he's done some serious thinking on the issue! Clifford Pickford himself reproduced an encyclopedia entry on the activity inside a single cell (biology). The detailed description given of Messenger RNA carrying genetic info from DNA inside a cell was compared by Clifford with descriptions of "aliens" scuttling around a "UFO" from a DMT vision. The parallels are striking. Consider that we all are single-cell creatures at root. What Clifford is suggesting is that a burst of DMT triggers our reversion back to single-cell consciousness. BUT we now have adult brains with stored adult memories and years of training in making sense of patterns. The DMT visions are our adult brains with their adult capacities trying to make sense of that primal consciousness. However . . . (part 2 follows!)
