Sputnik, you say, Leo, well, I will give a watch, always on the lookout for Sci-fi. I have not seen. Space 1999 series. Taken series, I may have seen this one?
  2. Tripping into old age: Can psychedelics protect the aging brain? Can psychedelics help our minds and brains stay healthy as we grow older? That’s the question posed by a new first-of-its-kind study launched earlier this year at the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics. The study, known as PLASTICITY (Psychedelic Longitudinal Aging Study In Cognitively Healthy Older Adults), is the first psychedelic neuroimaging study specifically focused on older adults. The study will use MRI and other measures to investigate how psilocybin impacts memory, perception, emotion, and brain structure and function in healthy adults between the ages of 60 and 85. The researchers will test whether psychedelics can enhance neuroplasticity in the brains of healthy older adults, help them regulate their emotions, feel more socially connected, and experience a sense of awe. Previous work has shown that psychedelics can reduce negative mental states like depression, anxiety, stress and rumination, and that these negative mental states may be linked with accelerated aging, said Tyler Toueg, a UC Berkeley doctoral student in neuroscience who co-led the project’s design. “There’s a lot of overlap between the mental states that psychedelics influence and those associated with successful aging,” Toueg said. As populations age worldwide, cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease are becoming increasingly common, with significant consequences for individuals, families, and health care systems. Given this demographic shift and the rising burden of neurodegenerative disease, there is an urgent need for new strategies to promote successful aging. Previous studies in non-human animals have shown that psilocybin increases the number of synaptic connections in the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex of the brain. If psilocybin has the same effect on the human brain, it could help counteract the structural brain changes associated with aging. “One of the things that I am most interested in is seeing whether we can actually measure those potentially beneficial brain changes in older adults,” Toueg said. While thousands of people have received psilocybin in controlled research settings over the past several decades, older adults have been largely absent from modern psychedelics studies. A 2024 review found that older adults represented only about 1.4% of all participants. “Older adults have been almost entirely excluded from modern psychedelics research, yet they may stand to benefit significantly from compounds that promote brain plasticity,” said Michael Silver, a professor of optometry and vision science and neuroscience and the faculty director of the Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics. “This study allows us to directly test whether the promising findings from animal models translate to older humans and to generate data that will inform future research on aging, cognition, and mental health.” In the study, participants will take 1-30 mg of synthetic psilocybin, a compound found in psychedelic mushrooms. The researchers will collect a baseline assessment before each participant’s psychedelic experience. Then, they’ll repeat the assessment one week and one month after the experience to look for changes. The assessments will include cognitive, perceptual, and emotion testing, as well as advanced brain imaging. The imaging includes diffusion MRI to measure the microstructure of the hippocampus — a part of the brain involved with memory and learning — and functional MRI to examine brain activity during memory encoding and retrieval. Participants will also undergo measures of visual perception and will complete surveys examining how subjective aspects of the experience relate to longer-term changes in well-being. The study will also assess whether psilocybin can lead to sustained increases in vagus nerve activity when participants are experiencing positive emotions, like awe. Because vagus nerve activity is associated with better recovery from stress, it is a possible mechanism that could explain how psilocybin is related to mental health. “One of the wonderful aspects of doing a study like this at UC Berkeley is that we are able to work with a broad array of experts — including emotion scientists and people who are experts in cognition and aging — to simultaneously study many facets of the enduring effects of the psychedelic experience,” Silver said. The interdisciplinary project was designed by Toueg, a Ph.D. candidate in the neuroscience graduate program at Berkeley, along with faculty spanning neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry: Silver, a leading neuroscientist in the study of the human visual system in the brain; William Jagust, a prominent neuroscientist studying brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease; Dacher Keltner, a renowned psychologist on emotion, awe and well-being; and Brian Anderson, a psychiatrist at both UCSF and Berkeley’s psychedelics center, who is also acting as the medical director for the study. If you would like to learn more about potentially being a research participant in BCSP neuroscience studies of human subjects, please email BCSPresearchsubjects@berkeley.edu. Interesting nonetheless. Psilocybin treatment extends cellular lifespan and improves survival of aged mice. Recent laboratory and animal studies suggest that psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, may exhibit anti-aging properties at the cellular level. However, these findings are strictly limited to cells and mice; there is currently no scientific evidence that magic mushrooms can slow aging in humans. Key Findings from Preclinical Research Cellular Lifespan: In laboratory studies, human cells treated with psilocin (the active metabolite of psilocybin) lived up to 57% longer than untreated cells. Reversing Cellular Decline: Treated cells exhibited delayed aging (cellular senescence), reduced oxidative stress, better DNA repair responses, and preserved telomeres (the protective end-caps of DNA). Animal Survival Rates: Aged mice treated with monthly doses of psilocybin had a higher survival rate. After 10 months, 80% of treated mice were alive, compared to 50% of the untreated control group. Physical Rejuvenation: The treated mice also displayed reduced visible signs of aging, such as regaining dark fur in formerly balding or graying patches. While these preclinical results in cells and mice are promising, experts emphasize that human biology is vastly more complex. Researchers have not yet tested these effects in humans, nor do they know the safe, effective dosage frequencies for long-term anti-aging treatments. Scientists caution against over-interpreting these early trials, and further research is required to determine if psilocybin holds any practical, safe anti-aging benefits for humans. You can read more about the exact cellular mechanisms documented by Emory and Baylor College of Medicine researchers on ScienceDaily or explore the published study in the peer-reviewed journal npj Aging. If only they knew the brain is imaginary "There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes," (Tom Baker). I like this quote from the Doctor, it offers the perspective that adults should never lose their sense of wonder, silliness, or creative imagination.

  5. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1LUCHQSxfN/ This life can be magic if you open your eyes😻😽
  6. Leo is not the only conscious, awake God-released person on the planet.
  7. Only you can know you are God via direct experience. Only God can know God. And no, this is not a cult. Just don't drink the Cool Aid at the retreat. Just joking with you, don't take life so seriously . When you awaken to infinite consciousness, it feels very alien, but it also feels familiar.
  8. I still enjoy watching TMcK after all this time, even though I am beyond all these self-deceptions.
  9. Megaforce. Finch. I cried near the end of this one. 😢 Drudge Dredd.

  11. For the first time, scientists have found tryptophan in a returned space sample. That may not sound important until you realise what tryptophan becomes. Tryptophan is the amino acid your body uses to produce serotonin, and it is also the starting molecule used in the biosynthetic pathway that leads to compounds such as Ps! locyb!n, D.M.T, and other naturally occurring tryptamines studied in modern neuroscience. The molecule was discovered in samples collected from asteroid Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission. Researchers estimate Bennu formed around 4.5 billion years ago, meaning the chemical building blocks connected to serotonin-based biology existed before Earth fully formed. The discovery adds a fascinating cosmic perspective to psychedelic research, consciousness studies, astrobiology, and the evolution of life. The molecular family connected to Ps!locyb!n and D.M.T did not begin with humans, plants, or mushrooms. Its chemical roots appear to stretch back to the earliest days of the Solar System itself.

Once you are awake, you just can never go back. There is no invention that humans have made; it all comes from God, all ideas, knowledge, everything from infinite consciousness, which you have been using all this time. This is the Frontiers in Neuroscience case report of an 80-year-old Japanese-American woman with advanced, decade-long Alzheimer’s disease who was administered a high, 5 g dose of psilocybin-containing mushrooms (Enigma strain) under supervision. The "Enigma" strain typically refers to a rare, highly potent mutation of Psilocybe cubensis (a psychedelic mushroom) that forms dense, brain-like blobs rather than traditional caps and stems. It has gained massive attention for its extreme potency and recent neurological research. Never heard of it, good one "Enigma" strain that forms dense, brain-like blobs . How very apt in a way. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/198ZSfVGGo/ That's why they're called Magic mushrooms
  12. You already are God, but what does it take to wake up and know you are God? Crazy amounts of meditation, or the easiest way, well, for me, it was psychedelics and trust me, you will know, kind of like a thermonuclear explosion going off when you are waking up as God.
  13. The Tomorrow People 1973 ‧ Brazil. The Tomorrow People 2013 Brazil and the original Tomorrow People, I have never seen before; not too many "Sci-Fi" go unnoticed by me
  14. Иллюзия. Music is just another expression of God's love for itself.
  15. "God is like a leximorph" It likely stems from a recent typo or misremembered term. You may be thinking of the theological word "biomorphic" (representing living, organic shapes), or perhaps an oxymoron, which is commonly used to describe the paradoxical nature of God. It's smart enough to"coin a phrase or a definition of itself, which should tell you something. "To him who has had the experience, no explanation is necessary; to him who has not, none is possible''. Ram Dass. It is like infinite Avatars. Don't be tricked by fools. God had to create everything from scratch. God is self-taught, self-made, self-everything. God had to create everything: a dictionary, every word, every meaning, every object, and subject, all things that are what it means to be God. Death, life, birth, human, alien, all of it, all meanings, every description. It's so obvious, and even more obvious is that you should know by now that you are God.
