That may be where these things reside, and that's where... It's not unlike the Platonic ideas about Plato's notion of the... I mean, I think his idea for that was the ideas, the shadows in the cave, that whole thing, that what we're seeing is shadows in the cave. Yes, yes. I like the Jungian notion. It makes sense. So maybe there is some place where โ

the universal determinants of language, cognition, understanding, all of these things are shared commonly not through cultural filters. What we see is always comes through a cultural filter. Maybe there's something behind that that's more fundamental. And DMT lets you look into that space temporarily.

Yeah, yeah. That makes sense. I mean, it's just a speculation. Again, the question is how do you prove that? How do you prove that's where it's coming from? One thing I've always been a little sort of uncomfortable with or โ I belong to a chat group called Sentient Others, and we've had several conferences, and that's a group in the UK mainly, and we've talked aboutโฆ

It's basically about these entities that you encounter in these altered states, particularly DMT. These alien-like entities that appear to be separate, that want to communicate with you. And one thing that bothers me a little bit about those things you see is They look like humans. I mean they look basically like humans. They don't โ there's a book that's been published recently.

It's called something like A Field Guide to Alien Entities or something like that. I'll send you the PDF. It's quite interesting. But you look at all these โ It's an attempt to kind of classify them. It's like a taxonomy of these different entities that you see. And it's a good effort. But I look at them, and most of them have a more or less humanoid form. And so this suggests to me that โ

These are like dreams. These come from within. These come from the unconscious. They don't necessarily represent anything out there. There's something buried deep in the unconscious is a possibility. Where it gets kind of interesting is some of these things don't look human at all. And then you wonder, what about the octopoid ones? What about the insectoid ones? Those kinds of things.
