Tool - Parabola Lyrics Meaning

"There is an psychologist named dr rick strausman. He wrote a book titled "dmt: the spirit molecule." it was a report on some studies he had done on a psychedelic substance called n,n-dimethyltryptamine. The fda approved him to administer the drug under a controlled environment to a group of different people from different backgrounds. This chemical also is found in your pineal gland in your brain. It is medically documented to be released into your bloodstream during birth death and any near-death experience in between. The penial gland forms in the fetus the 44th day after conception. It is beliefs of buddhist and hindu religions that the 44th day after conception is when the soul "enters" the body. Coincidence?
Okay now getting to the point... During the studies all volunteers described the dmt trip as a separation of body and soul. They described it as their soul leaving and entering a "white light". Ever heard of people having near-death experiences involving this? Well, he submitted his reports, and published his book, the fda deemed that further studies of this drug would cause social upheaval due to the belief that it was nearing a scientific discovery of the existance or non-existance of a god. The fda cut off his authorization and changed the drug to a schedule 1 drug (the same legality as cocaine, heroine, and such). This song describes a dmt trip.

Another weird coincidence... The album artwork includes an image from the cover of the book.

Whomever wrote this is exactly right. People, your looking through a view point of religion and such, because those are the prevelant view points in all major societies. You need to also accept the fact that just as possible as there is a God; its just as likely that we are just a product of evolution. There is so much evidence that supports the latter. Please, we are all human, and we are all on this rock called Earth together. All these different beliefs only cause divisions on Mankind; please accept that science is more material that the idea of divinity, and quit killing each other over different beliefs. We have no way to prove how these prophets came across their knowledge purported in the so called "Holy Books". Much evidence support accounts of encounters with "otherworldy" beings"; thinking rationally, you can deduce that more than likely this was probably alien encounters. prime example is Moses, he accended the mount, and on top was a brillant light. There he recieved the ten commandments, this coincides with either the alien theory, or the DMT theory stated above. Ezekiel's account, its the "smoking gun" of sorts, that gives even more evidence to the Alien theory. (Ever notice how "Alien like" Tool is?, or how Aliens are being used more and more in Media, to in a sense, ready us; bringing the idea to the forfront so that we will not be as scared? Notice that?) Dont forget that all these "Holy recounts" in the books happened in the Middle East. There is a lot of DRUGS produced in this area of the world. There was then, and there is now. Don't be so gullable, just because its in a book, doesn't mean its true, it was written by men. Anyone feel the same?
