I mean, God would know. He knows all things, so he would know that. But for him to know if we're going to be a believer or a non-believer, if we're going to be in heaven or hell, does not mean that he would have predestined that. God cannot predestine, or like, it's not in God's nature to will something bad for somebody. God is love. And so God would not
create any of us, like with the plan of sending us to hell. It would be the choice that we freely make in that regard.

This initial thing is like, how much of your free will can be maintained in that? And if it is surrendered in the use of that, who is... who is rightly going to be your guardian during that moment. That's kind of one thing. That's kind of a high thought or whatever. But they're doing a lot more studies.

I think with more of these studies, we'll have a clearer understanding of the morality of it and the ethics of it and everything, which is good. So we have to do the studies and everything and figure out more. The big thing is, how can you control the consistency of it? Like in a beer, you know how much alcohol is in there. Now, like with, yeah, do you know how much is in it?

And then if you can measure it and know how much is in it, then you can control how much you take, which can control effects.

That's a good question. Man, I'm still learning more about it myself. Now, if you compare psychedelics to drugs, crystal meth or something. I think those are two totally different creatures, you know, or cocaine or whatever, like one of these man-made drug or something versus like something that is naturally derived. I think that in itself is an argument that needs to be explored more.

To answer your question, like, does it open you up to the demonic stuff? I think... I think it can. I think it can. Just in the shortest answer. Yeah. It gives me the jibbies. I don't know if I'd want to do it. Have you ever done it?

We can't... There's so much more in this world, in this universe, in this life than what we can just sense. You know, what would be an example? I mean, you can look up something on Wikipedia and you can read one article, but there's still all the rest of Wikipedia that's still there and exists, even though you haven't read it. We have our senses that allow us to take information in.
