Well, this use of the word "entity" or even "separate entity beyond the pile of stories" is misleading.

When you can show something separate and beyond the pile of stories be sure to let me know.


I believe that's what this research has done. It's simply that you haven't grasped this point.

reported as in stories, you mean. Yes, I know that's all you have. Be sure to let me know when you have something beyond a pile of stories, m-kay?

This is why the researchers suggest that experiences triggered by "drug P consumption" provides evidence which strongly suggest the indication of a Perennial philosophy. That these experiences are precisely what prompted Plotinus to write on "The One," what prompted Hindus to write on the nature of Brahman, Theoria is what prompted the ancient Christian mystics to write on the nature of the Trinity, the Taoists to write on the nature of the Tao, or what has prompted modern day neuroscientists to write on the nature of the so-called "complete" mystical experience. All these terms are various ways of referencing one and the same thing.

And this "thing" is nothing but a pile of stories. Be sure to let me know when you have something other. Bye for now.


Sure, I can explain it a bit more, if you'd like, because you obviously missed the entire point.
