let's not overcomplicate it ladies. The god helmet shows that when you "energize" the brain, all that the brain can do gets "better" or "enhanced". that's the base premise. Like sticking the a juicer's needle in your butt makes your muscles better.
So what are our choices and how reasonable are they?
We already have shown clearly that no-nothing and Omni-dude are pretty much out.
So, With enhanced brain functions It is reasonable to suggest that the brain can "feel" more connect to the surrounding system. It is also reasonable to suggest that the biosphere is alive and when we feel connected to it we feel connected to a much larger life form. Two life forms "feeling connected" can cause a feedback loop. It may even strengthen that connection. It would also offer the illusion of an "infinitely large" feeling.
On the other hand and enhanced brain can feel connect to inanimate things also. "hoarders" and people that buy pet rocks are excellent example of how a "broken brain" can misplace its "affection" onto non-life form items. Not only that but we also see how some people "LOVE" something that can revolt most people. The word "taboo" come to mind.
so how do we employ reason, common, sense and control to help us? For many it stops there and they are happy to choose right here. But some of us will need to tie up some obvious loose ends. But we do not have to get crazy due to the limited amount of information we have. I would suggest , maybe five, pieces of data that can complement each other to make your choice.
also I think we should understand how past experiences can hedge our choice to one side or the other. I am not going into detail because this is such a basic notion that if you don't know please don't be "a "preachy" atheist or theist. You will be exposed.
For me, I use particle interactions (any level), thermodynamics, and fields tied together with the notions of hierarchy of structure and emergence. Then move (change) as many perceptions as I can. From 10^-35 to 10^35. And look at what it means to say the words "our type of life based on carbon and water" and "humanity".
Many people, even here, are much better at writting this stuff, but please let me know where I am wrong. You can use anything you want and it is allowed as long as it is reasonable and you stay within your experiences and understanding.
