I'll tell you what I believe.
I believe that brain enhancement is the goal of human evolution. Intentional inducement of this process is what I mean to effect.
I believe the intuitional knowledge produced by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system to be aiding in this process. This process may be called the improvement of my inner, or greater [or higher] self. I believe it is analogous to a deeper state of prayer. I consider this state, also known as the trance state (or, more mildly, the meditative state), as an altered state of consciousness.
I believe altered states of consciousness to exist as biochemical states of brain function. Thusly, I believe the application of drugs can at best enhance, and at least simply alter, these brain states/activities.
I believe that the pineal gland, and its relationship to the sympathetic nervous system, is principally involved [by deductive reasoning, after evaluation of secondary evidence of the pineal gland and other areas of the brain]. I believe the sympathetic nervous system directly influences one's capacity for intuitional knowledge. I believe, thusly, that the sympathetic nervous system is involved in the evolution of my spiritual character.
I believe that all matter in the universe is subatomic/molecular in nature. I believe that unconscious and subconscious thought/communication originates at the subatomic level. I believe that thus the unconscious and subconscious exist at the subatomic level (or some deeper level still). I believe the body to be ambulatory particles in the universe, bounded by the epidermus (and other membranes); particles that have 'agreed' to live symbiotically and have cellular communication within, between, among, and against each other.
[Very "pseudo-science"-y, I know. I'm still in the process of synthesizing my ideas. But this is a good statement as to where I am now.]
