Delving allows an inquisitive mind to delve beneath the surface, exploring layers where few dare to delve. This process of delving not only enriches knowledge but also enhances one's ability to delve into future challenges with increased acumen. So, when faced with a complex problem, don't just skim; delve, delve, and delve again, for the treasures of understanding lie in the depths, waiting for those who are willing to delve." "The universe is a vast, intricate puzzle waiting to be solved. Each new discovery leads to more questions, more avenues to explore. It's an endless cycle of learning, a journey that takes us deeper into the heart of reality. And the more we learn, the more we realize how much there is yet to discover. Science is not just about accumulating facts and figures. It's about developing a way of thinking, a way of approaching the world with an open mind and a relentless curiosity. It's about being willing to question everything, to challenge our assumptions and preconceptions. Only by doing so can we hope to uncover the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface of things. And what truths they are! The laws of physics, the principles of chemistry, the intricacies of biology - all of these reveal a universe that is far more complex, far more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. From the smallest subatomic particles to the largest structures in the cosmos, there is an underlying order, a breathtaking symmetry that speaks to the fundamental unity of all things. But perhaps the greatest wonder of all is the human mind itself. The fact that we, mere specks in the vastness of the universe, have the capacity to comprehend its workings, to unravel its secrets - that is truly astonishing. Our curiosity, our thirst for knowledge, is what sets us apart. It is the engine that drives us forward, that compels us to keep asking questions, keep seeking answers. And so we press on, driven by that unquenchable curiosity, that insatiable desire to know. We probe the depths of the ocean and the far reaches of space. We peer into the heart of the atom and map the intricacies of the brain. And with each new discovery, each new insight, we come a little closer to understanding the grand design of the universe. But the journey is never-ending. Each answer leads to new questions, new mysteries to be unraveled. And that is the beauty of it all. For in the pursuit of knowledge, in the act of discovery, we find not just intellectual satisfaction, but a profound sense of purpose, of connection to something greater than ourselves. So let us embrace that curiosity, that sense of wonder. Let us never stop asking "why?" and "how?". For it is in the asking, in the seeking, that we truly come alive. It is there that we find the essence of what it means to be human."

For example, really good 5-MeO-DMT trips feel like there is cross-frequency coherence across many scales of organization, where the vibrations in your body become coherent with your neural vibrations, which become coherent with higher frequency vibrations that are completely odd and strange and you never feel them otherwise, which in turn are coherent with even higher frequency vibrations, which in turn are coherent with even higher frequency vibrations. And this feels like it aligns you with the fundamental underlying field of the universe or something to that effect. The phenomenology is extremely impressive."
