PsySoc

How can we be sure that demons aren't part of a subconscious collective memory of past dealings with an alien race?

What do you mean by that? Instead of cosmonautics, communism can only be achieved by psychonautics?

Enjoy your memetic warfare by desinformation. What you perceive is a matter of perspective, so dependent on the cultural context the psychedelic-consuming subject is embedded in. Don't fall into the trap of pre-defined self-transcendent experiences. Psychedelic consumption is linked to the following things:
prosocial and proecological behavior, empathy, openness, less materialistic value orientation, egalitariaism, hope, creativity, greater mindfulness capacities, lowerdistress, higher energy, greater sensory sensitivity, and better neuropsychological functioning.

I for one think that the state run LSD fueled reeducation camps can make the general populace more welcoming to our interstellar comrades.

almost like history is based on material conditions or something

y do the people describe novel external experiences in relation to their culture and past experience help im confused

If I shine a light through a prism is the rainbow false?

If I experience the image passing through my eye as a fractal but the input is still physical reality and the prism is LSD instead of 5-HT does that make it false?

Is a rainbow a distortion of a solid white light or is it a mathematically defined reality that exists when light passes through a prism?

Just because you cannot name and recognize each transformation of each information packet into its new relation does not make it false or meaningless

Interdimensional aliens aren't aliens in the sense of a being from another planet.
They live right here on Earth but they inhabit another dimension from our on. They all can see us from within their dimension but we can only see them when we break our mind locks somehow.
Ways to break the locks include psychedelics like OP suggests and having a near death experience.

The government is already in contact with interdimensional beings using psychedelics to catapult humanity into the next spiritual level. Buy Alpha Brain.

What's interesting about psychedelics is that fMRI scans indicate they shut down parts of the brain rather than stimulating anything. Specifically, they suppress activity in the neocortex, a part of the brain that primarily modulates and suppresses other parts of the brain. It's also the part of the brain that's most newly evolved and specific to our species. This evidence does strongly imply that whatever it is people experience on psychedelics is in fact something we could experience at any time if we weren't actively suppressing it.

PSYCHEDELICS BAN THE MODS
=IN YOUR BRAIN=

Nice Jones tier but bullshit. All in all, we can see hyperfrontal activity, so the opposite of what you claimed. Psychedelics hyperstimulate 5-HT2A receptors in prefrontal pyramidal neurons (Halberstadt, 2015) and self-transcendence might be caused by neural hyperconnectivity and fading conventional self-referential patterns (Carhart-Harris et al., 2014; Letheby &Gerrenans, 2017).
The most prominent activation can be found in the left inferior frontal gyrus which is linked to linguistic processing, working memory and emotional perspective-taking, self-perspective inhibition and flow experiences. Also, the right supplementary motor area is active which is assumed to be responsible for body representations and is argued to be a main node of the timing network. Activation occur in the right insula, too, which processes integration of perception, emotions and cognition. Moreover, the right angular gyrus shows increased activation which is a multimodal hub of the default-mode network and as such maybe responsible for other-referential processing and semantic combinations.
