love and enjoying the sensations perceived through a much finer tactile sense than exists in
humans, or the experience of a planet’s soul over millions of years as different groups of
plants evolve, flourish, and give way to their successors upon its surface.
When in CydelikSpace it is clear that you and I are not two. CydelikSpace exists,
and the detailed dreams of our separate lives are entirely contained within it.
But this entire storehouse of universal experience is but a fraction of CydelikSpace’s
magnitude. It also contains all thoughts which did not occur but could have, and each
variation of experience that did not take place. The thoughts that have passed through one’s
mind, the actions taken, and the experiences one has
had are but one series of occurrences. The possible thoughts, actions, and experiences that
did not manifest in one’s life are infinite, and branch out endlessly. An artist’s marks upon a
canvas are but one rendering of the multitude of visions held inside the head, and
CydelikSpace additionally contains innumerable visions that the artist never dreamed in the
wildest fits of imagination.
Occasionally I’ve experienced events while in CydelikSpace that later manifested in
consensus reality. One can also experience events that happened in a time and place where
they were not present, and find that these events actually occurred. This is not to say that all
experiences in CydelikSpace have parallels in consensus reality. Only a very small percent do.
This can be compared to dreams. Almost everyone has had a few dreams that were
precognitive, or somehow paranormal, but it is only one in a great number. The same
generally holds true for paranormal psychedelic experiences. However, it has been stated
that many shamans in the Amazonian regions have effectively mastered this ability to enter
the psychedelic universe, and view future or past events from the lives of those in their
community.
In The Holotropic Mind Stan Grof suggests “As individual human beings we are not
isolated and insignificant Newtonian entities; rather, as integral fields of the holomovement
(CydelikSpace) each of us is also a microcosm that reflects the macrocosm. If this is true,
then we each hold the potential for having direct and immediate experiential access to
virtually every aspect of the universe, extending our capacities well beyond the reach of our
senses.”
Through his observation of thousands of psychedelic sessions, as well as sessions
involving other means of entering into “nonordinary states of consciousness,” Grof has put
together a very thorough collection of information to confirm that events and experiences of
the type I describe here are common occurrences for the majority of psychedelic users. He
argues that the indisputable validity of these experiences calls for a new model and
understanding of ourselves, our minds, and the manifest universe. In summarizing his
observations Grof says “I am now convinced that our individual consciousnesses connect us
not only with our immediate environment and with various periods of our own past, but also
with events that are far beyond the reach of our physical senses, extending into other
historical times, into nature, and into the cosmos . . . we can re-experience episodes that
took place when we were fetuses in our mothers’ wombs . . . On occasion we can reach far
back in time and witness sequences from the lives of our human and animal ancestors . . .
We can transcend time and space, cross boundaries separating us from various animal
