When you are 'tripping' all points of reality become one.

One of my favorite scenes ever filmed in a television drama is when James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano) in the groundbreaking series the Sopranos takes the hallucinogenic drug Peyote. Of course the Sopranos, in my opinion (and refer to my DVD recommendation link on this page), covered just about every aspect of contemporary society, it's complexities and the interaction of realities (with all it's paradoxes attached). But the drug taking scene when Tony goes down to Las Vegas to meet a friend of his nephew (who died in car accident, remember?), is one of the high moments (non pun) of the teledrama. Why? It's the scene after Tony takes the trip (Peyote) and proceeds to go gambling. We see, as the scene unfolds the chaos and pace of the casino is slowed down as Tony (and his lady friend wander through the casino in a tripped out daze. He (Tony) proceeds to bet on the roulette wheel and you see that he wins each time.

I love this scene:




So, is a hallucinogenic drug like Poyte able to remove the background noise of life and all it's distraction so one can methodically focus on a point of singularity. Such as the Roulette Wheel?

There has been some scientific work on hallucinogenics and the ability of a person who takes a 'trip' to freeze time of slow down time. This theory falls into the realm of the studies by a scientist by the name of Metod Saniga. The crux of the theory is that in time and space all points are as one, meaning that the past and the future all meet at one junction point. Hence the concept of time freezing in the preset (someone who has tripped out) or time speeding up - yet the person is still within the preset point i.e hasn't moved. Sure the theory has some basic explanation of space time and junction points, which was put together by studies of hallucinogenic uses and their experiences. He (Saniga) then theorizes that space and time generally do not follow our perception of time, as everything flows into singularity.

But can one gauge the future in a hallucinogenic state or using Sanga's modeling? That is the question
