GABA
Note: See GABA and Filtering for full treatment of this topic discussed by Jerry Michalski during the OGM 2025-11-06 call.
What is GABA?
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid - the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system
Role in Consciousness Discussion
Jerry learned about GABA from Dan Brown's "The Secret of Secrets" and connected it to:
- Non-Local Consciousness theories
- Psilocybin and Perception experiences
- Filtering mechanisms in the brain
- Why psychedelics might reduce filters rather than create hallucinations
Key Points
- High GABA = protected from overwhelm
- Low GABA = access to more perception
- Epilepsy involves GABA drops
- Psychedelics may work by reducing GABA
