Which suggests that there is a conscious part of them removed from the rest of their consciousness. I know back in my tripping days there was rarely a time when my whole being wasn't in thrall to what was happening in my brain chemistry.

In my talks with my own group of tripping-buddies at the time (i.e., at the time when I was imbibing such substances), it was a common experience among us to actually be aware of the branching conditionals of our own minds, i.e., to be aware of at least some aspect of the code of our own minds, and to ride this code as if we were travelers taking a journey down different paths in the forks of the road we were traveling upon. Of course, our experience of this sensation was that its was occurring at a super-quick pace, as if within a split second many such branching conditionals occurred. But nevertheless, we could actually feel this sensation of rapid-pace mental forking within our very bodies, as well as having some conscious awareness of this process.

Damn, I thought cyborg music would sound something like this:

God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression. - Gary Larson

What's wrong with some old-fashioned Pink Floyd when one wants to have a little hallucinogenic experience?
