Just about everyone knows about acid and the psychedelic affect it has on peoples minds. I don't trip, but I think it sounds like fun. The point I want to make is that I happened upon a YouTube video that reviewed LSD and what it does to people. It briefly covered Ego Dissolution, which is described as feeling a barrier between yourself and others/everything around you. I didn't look too much more into it because the first thing to come to mind was "/EVANGELION!? AT FIELDS!?/"

Tell me what you think about that.

I vaguely recall there being a movie that has been compared to EoE a few times, about a guy who experiments with psychedelic drugs to perform a sort of one-man human instrumentality project and in the end he succeeds.

So you're not the first to link the barrier-thing (at fields) and breaking it down and its connection to psychedelic drugs.
I just wish I could remember the name of the movie ...

@Zoop: Altered States, probably? All Eva fans should watch it; you'll never look at episode 19 the same way again. :hahaha:

That and The Holy Mountain are very Eva-esque with regard to themes and imagery ha ha ha
FROM EVANGELION:
"Acts of Man are greater than acts of God!"

"I'm saying that I love you."

NOT FROM EVANGELION:
"You are excrement. You can change yourself into gold."

Excellence. J saying though, we should start experimenting with giant robots and mind expanding drugs simultaneously
