Quote:Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction. In other words, it is the chemical that motor neurons of the nervous system release in order to activate muscles. This property means that drugs that affect cholinergic systems can have very dangerous effects ranging from paralysis to convulsions. Acetylcholine is also a neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system, both as an internal transmitter for both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system, and as the final product released by the parasympathetic nervous system.[2] Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system.[3][4]

Quote:Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs), also known as anti-cholinesterase, are chemicals that prevent the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine or butyrylcholine by cholinesterase. This increases the amount of the acetylcholine or butyrylcholine in the synaptic cleft that can bind to muscarinic receptors, nicotinic receptors and others. This group of inhibitors is divided into two subgroups, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors (BChEIs).

Quote:ChEls are widely used as chemical weapons. Since November 2019 the group of ACheIs known as Novichoks have been banned as agents of warfare under the Chemical Weapons Convention.[9] Novichok agents are neurotoxic organophosphorus compounds and are considered more potent than VX gas, also a neurotoxic organophosphorus compound.[10] 

Quote:Huperzine A, a Lycopodium alkaloid, was first isolated in 1983 from Huperzia serrata,[2][3][4] a plant used in Chinese folk medicine. Huperzine A also exists in other Huperzia species, including H. elmeri, H. carinat, and H. aqualupian with varying quantities

Quote:NMDA receptor antagonists are a class of drugs that work to antagonize, or inhibit the action of, the N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). They are commonly used as anesthetics for humans and animals; the state of anesthesia they induce is referred to as dissociative anesthesia.

Quote:Dissociative anesthesia is a state where a person feels detached (dissociated) from their body and surroundings, experiencing pain relief (analgesia), memory loss (amnesia), and altered perception, often with hallucinations, making them seem awake but unresponsive, with ketamine and PCP being key examples. This unique anesthetic effect, caused by drugs blocking NMDA receptors, creates a "catalepsy" where the patient appears awake but disconnected, unlike traditional anesthesia

Quote:An oneirogen, from the Greek ὄνειρος óneiros meaning "dream" and gen "to create", is a drug that induces a dream-like state of consciousness, also known as oneirophrenia. The term oneirogen, oneirophrenic, or oneiric, was introduced to refer specifically to ibogaine- and harmaline-type hallucinogens by William Turner and Claudio Naranjo in the 1960s and 1970s.[1][2][3][4][5] Subsequently, the term has also sometimes been used to refer to non-hallucinogenic drugs that facilitate dreaming.

Quote:Again, these comments match things we’ve known from many cases and books about close encounters. But the anonymous author of the UK report provides more specific observations:
“Experiments (on animals) have shown that low (3mW per cm at 450 Mhz) exposures affect brain calcium ions. These are known to play an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses. Various modulations (e.g.5Hz, or 16Hz) were imposed on the radiation.”
The analysis goes deeper: “Earlier experiments went on for tens of minutes—or even for hours. They were not representative of the very short UAP exposure times of a few seconds. In 1981 it was discovered that E fields at a modulation of 5Hz for only 5 to 10 seconds could increase the excitability of nerves for hours.”

Quote:Hummingbird. Sunday 17 January 2016.
John Schuessler sends along a note about an article describing “How to turn the brain off.” He writes: “I found it interesting because it shows there is a mechanism, at least in mice, which can mimic what has been reported in many UFO cases: They found that making thalamus cells fire with a frequency of 10 hertz caused the mice to lose consciousness. If they fired the cells at between 450 and 100 hertz, the mice woke up again.”

My notes reflect that it’s the same with humans. It was first discovered by Andrija Puharich and José Delgado in secret CIA collaboration, along with the MK-Ultra Program, revealed a few years ago when some smart staffer discovered it, among the 100,000 pages declassified in 1986. Those two guys had Netter diagrams from an Atlas of both human and cat brains, where the Thalamus was clearly delineated. This was discussed before the Academy in 2020.
Now, I read that “early discoveries also suggested the cochlear microphonic as one mechanism… There are more places that could be tapped to insert words inside a person’s head.”

One CIA project called AccoustiKitty did the reverse, because they didn’t know how to train a cat to understand English. Instead, they tapped the words the cat heard. Finally, at Los Alamos in 1983, a way was developed to send clear voice into someone’s brain (posterior acoustic cortex directly, bypassing the 7th and 8th cranial nerves). It’s all unclassified now. The first two projects were with small sentient smart mammals. The last one was with “large semi-comatose, somewhat dull humans…” All the same. All these and 45 additional neural projects were declassified… most in one fell swoop.”

There may be many other clever projects, searchable using Isaac Koi’s websites. I’m told it is tedious: 100,000 is a lot of pages. A similar pile deals with psychic research from CIA.

IN the past when I had all my hearing (although I am 42 years old I have left ear hearing loss due to Meniere's Disease) the binaural beats enabled easier faster muscle relaxation and also propagation of the 'vibrations' necessary to go out of body.
Now that I am older, I use them on speakers instead and they dont work as well but they do definitely put your brain in a calmer state.  You have to be receptive though its not a catch all band aid guarantee.  
It's essentially a helper to just relaxing yourself, by yourself . 
I do 40 mins of asana, in 'god ' posture, back straight in chair not moving. Thats the goal currently. sometimes i move once or twice. end goal is 60 mins . The pattern I notice and others in my Order (Thelemic order) is that at minute 30 is essentially the minimum mediation time you need for the brain to shut off.
Heres my personal observation
Min 0 to 15 monkey-chatter. let it play out. It slowly dissipates
15-25 or so physical deeper relaxation, or annoyance, depending.
25-35 brain turns off. total calm quiet state. sometimes 'no me' no ego no self no time even.
35-45+ no body no mind. flashes of insight/ precognition /travel come.

I tried some meditative sessions for some time a few months ago. From what I've read, it seems 'focused intent' play a major role in whatever can be achieved through it. Or rather, to express such intent 'throughout' the body. Or even to 'spread'/'communicate' such intent to the various 'fractal scales' of the body. A kind of harmonic/resonance at different 'levels' of physical reality.

To trigger specific body parts and thus altering the nervous system up in the brain. It could be that binaural beats somewhat facilitate the 'state of mind' that helps in achieving the aforementioned processes. Or discreetly 'alter' some brain parts that are less active during the 'wake' state compared to the 'dream' state.

Quote:"These phenomenological similarities are reflected in neurophysiological similarities between waking and dreaming. For historical and methodological reasons, most electroencephalogram (EEG) and neuroimaging studies have contrasted brain activity during quiet wakefulness with that observed during REM sleep, when subjects are most likely to report dreams[15–20]. At least superficially, the EEG looks remarkably similar in active waking and REM sleep. [...]"

Quote:"Despite these remarkable similarities, what makes dream consciousness so fascinating are the ways in which it differs from our waking experience. Some of these phenomenological differences are accompanied by consistent neurophysiological differences."

Quote:A distinct feature of Non Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep is low-frequency (< 4 Hz, delta) EEG synchronization with frequent appearance of large oscillations (slow waves) that are associated with brief periods of neuronal hyperpolarization1. The switch between up- and down-states reflects the bistability of the membrane potential of cortical neurons during sleep, which underlies an impairment of causal interactions among brain networks and loss of neuronal integration and communication2–4. Single neuron physiology and modeling suggest that low-frequency activity is related to neural mechanisms of inhibition5,6.

I was partly refering to physiological change, albeit more centralized around a conscious state that 'allows' to trigger such.

If I may elaborate a bit on the last statement of my previous post, the line of thought is to somehow 'force' the brain into a dream state, neurologically speaking. There seems to be increasing evidences of differences of the nervous system between the 'awake' state and the 'dream' state.

Here's a 2011 paper I came across in order to support this : Dreaming and the brain: from phenomenology to neurophysiology

In the section "Phenomenology of dreams and their relation to brain activity", they start by noting the similarities between the wake state and the REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement) :


However, they also mention the differences of the conscious experience between both states :


Those are then elaborated in the following sub-sections. I'll only refer to the first two of these in this post, which are about reduction in voluntary control and volition, followed by reduction in self-awareness and altered reflective thought. They note that other studies suggest the implication of the right inferior parietal cortex during waking volition, and subsenquently infer that its inactivity during REM sleep may be related to the lack of voluntary volition in dreams. As to the second one, they mention a study that evidence the reduction of self-awareness during "highly engaging sensory perception in wakefulness" comes with a "deactivation of the prefontal cortex".

Therefore, I believe that if one use meditation to focus on the body by 'silencing' one's thoughts and 'listen' to it, then one may be able to 'alter' its physiology, mostly in brain parts, and consequently 'blurring the boundaries of the self'. I think binaural beats are one among many ways to somewhat 'help' the physiological changes, althought that seems to require some 'actions' from the listener in order to 'optimize' those effects.

As a last note, I link a more recent paper that cite the previous : EEG microstates of dreams

Haven't read it entirely yet, but thought the first paragraph of the introduction could be of interest :

You are able to perceive more than one reality at a time. I can both be in a dream and be fully conscious, I can check the time and chase the cat off the bed without the dream stopping. I can have precognition, a dream and be visualizing whatever else at the same time. You can be lucid in a dream or just watch it like a movie.

@sahgwa have you got a better way of describing this? The best I can come up with is fields and windows, maybe locals or some other word I forgot now.

Exprience shows me we have the physical ,the etheric, and the astral. Each one has a kind of 'hard drive' 
We can be in a lucid dream, but still be aware of our body and what is happening, because each one is storing to it's own memory.
Robert Monroe calls it body asleep, mind awake.  
Also if you are doing scrying or astral travel, you can see other things with your third eye, but you are still vaguely aware of your body (usually).
