SUMMARY

The discussion centers on LSD experiments conducted by Stanislav Grof in the 1950s, where patients reported vivid hallucinations of transforming into prehistoric reptiles. Grof's research revealed that these experiences often included accurate zoological details, suggesting a deeper psychological phenomenon. Participants also described tapping into a collective unconscious, recounting historical and mythological knowledge without prior exposure. The conversation touches on the broader implications of drug-induced experiences and the potential for simultaneous incarnations, as well as references to government LSD experiments and cultural perceptions of reptilian hallucinations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LSD and its effects on consciousness
  • Familiarity with Stanislav Grof's research methodologies
  • Knowledge of collective unconscious theory in psychology
  • Awareness of historical context regarding government-sponsored drug experiments
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Stanislav Grof's work on LSD and psychotherapy
  • Explore the concept of collective unconscious in Jungian psychology
  • Investigate the history of government LSD experiments, such as MKUltra
  • Examine cultural interpretations of reptilian beings in mythology and modern media
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for psychologists, researchers in psychedelic studies, historians interested in drug policy, and individuals exploring the intersection of consciousness and hallucinations.

Perhaps some of u have read this article about the 'holographic universe':

I was always especially interested in this part of it:

In the 1950s, while conducting research into the beliefs of LSD as a psychotherapeutic tool, Grof had one female patient who suddenly became convinced she had assumed the identity of a female of a species of prehistoric reptile. During the course of her hallucination, she not only gave a richly detailed description of what it felt like to be encapsuled in such a form, but noted that the portion of the male of the species's anatomy was a patch of colored scales on the side of its head. What was startling to Grof was that although the woman had no prior knowledge about such things, a conversation with a zoologist later confirmed that in certain species of reptiles colored areas on the head do indeed play an important role as triggers of sexual arousal. The woman's experience was not unique. During the course of his research, Grof encountered examples of patients regressing and identifying with virtually every species on the evolutionary tree (research findings which helped influence the man-into-ape scene in the movie Altered States). Moreover, he found that such experiences frequently contained obscure zoological details which turned out to be accurate.

Regressions into the animal kingdom were not the only puzzling psychological phenomena Grof encountered. He also had patients who appeared to tap into some sort of collective or racial unconscious. Individuals with little or no education suddenly gave detailed descriptions of Zoroastrian funerary practices and scenes from Hindu mythology. In other categories of experience, individuals gave persuasive accounts of out-of-body journeys, of precognitive glimpses of the future, of regressions into apparent past-life incarnations.

Now of course it is well known that drugs can screw with ur mind. However i was wondering if anyone here has heard of these or similar experiments, and whether these 'transformations' into prehistoric reptiles have been explained in some way.

Well I've read of loads of experiences of people on hallucinogens either seeing themselves as reptiles or seeing others as reptiles I've also read two accounts of people being raped by reptiles one who was on dmt the other who was under past life regression. It seems to be a pretty common theme, i also read about a hypnotherepist who used his own methods on himself and started to see people shift into reptiles during his day to day existence.

The best explanation I've heard is simultaneous incarnations, i.e. some people's souls exist both as a human and also in some other part of space time/parallel universe as humanoid reptiles. Iv heard about people being regressed and existing as these life forms, describing themselves hunting and eating mammals and feeling quite disgusted and shaken by the whole thing afterwards.
Basically the whole subject is very very weird and its just about insane sounding enough for most people to ignore or shake their head at. But I've heard too many people recount the same experience to put it down to the imagination running wild.

Make of that what you will I've got no hard evidence and i doubt anyone else has either, but a lot of people seem to be noticing the same phenomena, and its not the first time someones brougt it up.
 
Interesting :) Perhaps the incarnations-theory has some substance to it, alien abductees sometimes mention reptillian beings.

Also, wasnt there a period when the American government conducted secret LSD experiments on people? I vaguely remember reading something about that.

Id be very interested to hear what kind of results these had.
 
Watch the movie "Altered States". Guy does lots of drugs and regresses into a caveman.

Seeing lizard people must be a regional thing, cause I know lots of people who have done drugs, and no one here ever saw any lizard people. The ladies sisters boyfriends cousin probably owns two lizards. Hallucinations are always based on something you had already seen at some point in time. You can see your friend as a clown, or dog, or even a lizard. Hard to imagine what a hallucination is like until you have one. They can look and sound very convincing and real.
