Thinking itself is psychedelic! Each person experiences sensory inputs slightly differently. We are literally hallucinating our waking reality as Anil Seth's TED video demonstrates, tripping out in our dreams while we are sleeping. The brain is always making its own endogenous ligands of receptors called neurotransmitters, in an ongoing way that Dutch super cold athlete Win Hof called "getting high on your own supply" where I got the idea for this post!
Its a lot more than just dopamine, serotonin & norepinephrine, the brain releases hundreds of different compounds, peptides, cytokine signaling molecules & biomolecules that diffuse across glia cells & into your cerebral spinal fluid. We are a wet flesh organism as people, so all substances that enter the body end up diffusing though our cells & flesh & some of these things can pass the blood brain barrier and affect the brain the way that neurotransmitters do.
Consider ethanol in alcoholic beverages plugging into the brains GABA receptors to inhibit mental executive function as the basis of getting a buzz or becoming drunk in a dose dependent fashion up to the point of acute alcohol poisoning & blacking out. Sadly ethanol breaks down into a noxious chemical called acetaldehyde that is also a carcinogen, largely responsible for the well known "hangover" that people experience when they drink too much beer, wine or spirits & have a hangover the following day, largely because ethanol intoxication radically disturbs sleep, resulting in low quality choppy sleep without enough time in REM or deep sleep stages, causing mental fog & blank feelings the following day. It is possible to avoid a lot of the problems with hangover by consuming 3x more water than you do alcohol beverages, after you stop drinking alcohol. This means 2 liters or more, and will result in you having to wake up to tinkle during the night, but you will not be nearly as dehydrated the following day, which radically reduces the hangover intensity. Ask me how I know.
While some people use cannabis to get "high" the brain makes it own anandamide & 2AG, endogenous ligands of the CB1 & CB2 receptors respectively, chemically analogous to the THC & CBD in cannabis. You get a hit of these brain cannabinoid receptor agonists, Anandamide in particular, when you experience joy after dedicating or going #2 or pooping, especially if you really had to go before starting. I have fallen off the toilet with a bliss hit after going #2! Talk about intense pleasure, I literally fell off the toilet in a bliss bomb state of absolutely joy & exquisite pleasure, that only lasts a brief period, but none the less highly enjoyable! Same can be said if you really have to pee but are trapped in a vehicle and have to hold it for a long time, when you finally go pee & get that burst of "relief enjoyment" your brain gives you a little squirt of anandamide & dopamine & acetylcholine, sometimes even a little norepinephrine. The brain also makes opioid like proteins that produce pain reduction, when we break through the wall running or cycling, getting our second wind as it is known.
Exercise one of the best ways to improve your brain chemistry. The activities stimulate improved blood flow in your entire body & brain, while your brain makes more feel good chemicals to reward you for working out! Sometimes weight training can be painful but highly rewarding because of the reinforcing system of brain chemistry that encourages repeating behaviors that improve your physical or mental fitness. Having a positive attitude & good outlook on life or being optimistic or practicing thankfulness focusing can leverage the positive physiological benefits of a happy mind, via the mind body connections firmly established in medical science, such that what we think about affects our physiology, wellness, fitness, emotions & feelings strongly, such that positive good thought are healing & enjoyable & improve health, while negative thoughts increase stress to chronic states that are toxic to the body.
Faith & spiritual health add meaning & purpose to peoples lives in a way that improves their mindset with moral & ethical lessons about honorable conduct & about how to be a good person & why treating everyone with dignity & respect important. Namely because all human people on Earth are brothers & sisters & everything in the biosphere & oceans & other bodies of water & lands of the world connected. Everything in life on Earth is connected, especially human minds that emit quantum magnetic waves & are hooked up to everyone else wirelessly with a network of connection that we do not understand well yet, that quantum physics is just now revealing in cutting edge physics research on the Law of Attraction.
Like minded people are drawn to one another, because they have similar thinking on issues they view as important, like nuclear reaction creation of electricity without burning carbon or releasing air pollution like coal power emissions, noting especially that coal power emissions are the leading source of radioactive heavy metal exposure, since the metals like uranium & thorium & mercury present in coal end up being oxidized into toxic heavy radioactive metal fly ash emissions that blow around everywhere. Thus the main source of radioactive waste that people experience comes from coal power emissions. In nuclear reactors the spent nuclear fuel bundles are tightly regulated, very compacts & highly profitable to recycle because enriched uranium costs more than gold, and the iridium tubes cladding the fuel pellets costs way more than platinum. This means recycling spent nuclear fuels very profitable, though complicated because of the isotopes emitting dangerous energetic photons of the beta & gamma range & neutrons emissions; such that nuclear fuel recycling is called reprocessing & has to be done in special mostly automated shielded & sealed facilities that minimize harmful human expose to dangerous ionizing radiation. I promote nuclear fission reactors because they are the cleanest & statistically safest way to make electricity for 10 billion people, and with fuel breeding, nuclear fuel can make abundant cheap electricity for many thousands of years!
I promote nuclear because I want to reduce air pollution emitted by coal, such that new nuclear plants can be used to completely phase out all combustion based energy. We can energize all human activity with nuclear + renewables & energy storage for carbon free electricity 24/7/365 and even better by installing more electrical production capacity that improved energy input creates more wealth & prosperity, raising the standards of living for everyone alive while also reducing air pollution & other problems associated with carbon based fuel combustion, mining, processing, refining, and pollutants emitted by engines & other combustion devices. Nuclear will energize the decarbonization of all human energy systems & enables a much cleaner safer future where the air is clean & safe to breathe & free of common pollutants that contaminate air today, mostly from fossil fuel combustion.
The MAOI enzymes break down neurotransmitters, but there are MAOI inhibitors like Harmine HCL that can act as a potent anti-depressant, and very powerful drug when combined with DMT consumption in a traditional drink that shamans in South America use during spiritual ceremonies. I do not condone or endorse the consumption of mind altering substances, since they can cause brain damage & psychological problems.
I want to teach other people that they do not need drugs to change their thinking. They just need encouragement & motivation, being inspired by powerful ideas & powerful information to create fundamental positive changes in their mind & thinking, so that they can become the best versions of themselves & pursue more excellence in all ways in life!
We are called to love one another, to love animals in nature, to be good stewards of ecosystems & food webs on Earth, with organic natural agriculture that protects the bee's and values natural resources, that does not waste, that cherishes & protects and honors the natural world, with reverent respect for God & other people & nature. We owe it to all people to develop cleaner energy technology & to phase out all toxic pollutant emitting processes. We owe it to our children & their children to improve every aspect of human activity to reduce pollution, to improve recycling, to make everything eco-friendly & safer for life of everything that lives! Life is precious & special & there is nothing else like it fiends, so love each other more & be nice to each other & play fair with each other, ok! Please think about it!
