Heh. I had hoped this would turn into a sequel to this article: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2016/03/schizophrenia_and_subvocal_speech_why_schizophrenics_hear_the_voices_of.html http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_exa... Unfortunately, it didn't. Still a good read, tho.

That's what I was thinking. But damn, I've never seen entities talking to me. Except on acid, and sometimes when very stoned. But only with my eyes closed.

  LSD (a huge dose of liquid, straight up ego death for 6 hours) and DMT have both allowed me to experience entities and “converse” with them in a manner of speaking. An enjoyable couple of experiences, but I can understand why it’d be scary to experience outside of a psychedelic trip.

    Please do not talk of huge dose of liquid when talking of very potent substances such as LSD. A very heavy dose of LSD is about 350µg or 350/1 000 000g. which is such a small quantity that you cannot see it. One can put 50µg in 1 liter of water and drink a lot of liquid but ingest a light dose while a single drop can contain enough to heavy trip several people.

      Due to a dilution error, I did 3000µg once. The point of mentioning "liquid LSD" (typically in 80% ethanol) is that it was usually the purest available. And easiest to verify purity. It should be colorless. And a sample containing 500µg should leave no visible residue when dried on glass. Common adulterants would be present at much higher concentrations. Unless some jerk added fentanyl or Botulinum toxin :(

      By that logic you shouldn't talk about a very heavy dose of LSD either, as you wouldn't notice any difference in weight betweeen a good time at a concert and eons of difficult reincarnations...

The voices are controlling(temporary "possessing") the brain to produce mental speech which is then subvocalized akin to reading a book or more closer analogue: conversing with a tulpa(which talk through this temporary control state).
