Geral Blanchard, LPC, is a psychotherapist who is university trained in psychology and anthropology. Formerly of Wyoming and currently residing in Iowa, Geral travels the world in search of ancient secrets that can augment the art and science of healing. From Western neuroscience to Amazonian shamanism, he has developed an understanding of how to combine old and new healing strategies to optimize recovery, whether from psychological or physical maladies.
MDMA, Quantum Physics, and the Spiritual Path
It is easier to get over the “past” once we realize there is no such thing.
It is easier to get over what “others” have done to us when we realize there are no “others.” We are all one, like blades of grass in a gigantic field, all under the influence of the sun, wind, and our own misleading minds.
When we can get past this human thing called language (few other animals get confused with complicated symbols for real things), and when we commune with the Universe/Greater Whole/Creator/God, we become open to knowing. By rejoining the full one dimensional existence beyond ideas of ego, it is possible to “download” a larger healing way of being in this world. When humans are “under the influence” of MDMA they are under the influence of a deeply familiar, albeit largely forgotten, Unity Consciousness.
This may be why some medicinal patients have new/old experiences that transcend ideas of space and time (spacetime). It may help to understand why minus language a knowing is experienced and is later described as “realer than real.” Perhaps we have rejoined our larger Creator personage.
When the Whole diminishes the painful ideas of self and “others”, while also diminishing ideas of what was done to us by all those “others,” it also shrinks time, including notions of the past becoming closer to what might be better described as something circular called now.
Maybe the “past” is just our way of dumbing down our experiences of the vast interconnected universe so we can feel like we understand it.
And in the process we imagine our self as something bigger and more self-important than we really are. We put one big universal life into a very personal story of suffering, lifted from a far greater story of a collective and harmonious existence.
Recall when you were “under the influence” of MDMA you may have lost this culture’s shared perspective of time – it wasn’t normal, at least as we humans have described time and normality with our languaged minds. Or maybe you lost your sense of space when you navigated to “distant” locations. MDMA doesn’t cause hallucinations; it introduces reality – a larger reality than we have ever considered. The vastness of it all, and the connection to all, is often described in one word, awe.
Unlike weekend shamanic classes that describe a lower, middle, and upper world – multiple layered dimensions – would it not be more accurate to see that reductionistic notion as a creation of the human mind? Might it be that the real world is one gigantic organism, vaster than we ever imagined with our puny human minds? Maybe life is all one circular and self-contained dimension, intricately connected and communicating with itself which may help us understand why morphic resonance and the passage of information can happen instantaneously. Seen in this much bigger way long distances may not exist as we know them and thus we can feel like we are in two places at once when in actuality this is only one vast interconnected place.
We are not what we previously thought of as the “other.” There is no separation, no distance, as much as our human minds would like us to believe otherwise. We may not be, as our football stadium chants suggest, “Number One!” We may be simply…one.
Welcome to quantum physics, what many authentic shamans, rain drops, and armadillos already know to be reality. Deep knowing can supplant shallow believing. In the world of quantum physics many regard it as a spiritual path. And isn’t it interesting that so many MDMA psychonauts report profoundly spiritual and deep healing experiences during and after their medicinal ceremonies? Maybe we are spiritual beings residing in human bodies waiting to more fully emerge.
