11'24 pietology: what is it – "the heart"?
what process? a personal one as a social being or a social one by a number of persons?
"more than something you can own and hold" smells personally but doesn't really clarify the point. it too doesn't make it quite clear whether it's meant idealistically or just plain factually, or maybe even both.
"How you look for it is what matters most."
"truth", according to this definition, would be how I think about it, or, let's say, how a society seeks or handles "truth". a modus operandi, in other words, through which "truth" becomes whatever is being called "truthful".
that's tautological: "truth" as just a token...
although this is right for its common usage, you can't solve a tricky subject with a tricky terminology
the fact that it's mostly loaded with moral pathos is, in my eyes, the worst aspect of this token, which makes it the uncoolest and most humorless word of all time.
all media are filled with "truth" and nonetheless, "9/11" shows the whole fucking system is a lie. even the fucking "9/11 truth movement" is a fucking lie!
everything and everybody is so FUCKED UP because of this fucking rhetorical joke called "truth".
as if we were condemned to act like preachers all the time...
it's the key element of this power play between smart and stupid.
@sibeledmonds simple story: if you face someone who isn't just let's say ten times more intelligent than yourself but really really really smart, what chance would you have in a power play? nearly none.
a phenomenon no party wants to talk about... not a conspiracy. TWEET | TWEET
and don't get me wrong, that's privately the same game as publicly.
it's just too normal to have the faintest notion of the political nature of romantic thinking. this is a huge, complex and complicated issue. embodied by words like "truth", "heart", "god", "love" and others.
"truth isn't a matter of opinion or 'world view'. a belief that contradicts facts is false. period." TWEET

not that helpful. it covers only a segment of a much larger terrain.

the probably most accurate periphrasis or interpretation of your idea of "truth", I think, is "way of enlightenment".
whenever I come across the vocable truth, it always sounds to me as if they who use it would be positive that they've learned enough already TWEET
and that should be the only right to exist for this foolish term with its antiquated implications
"Truth was the last thing on my mind, and even if there was such a thing, I didn't want it in my house." Bob Dylan
"Veritas odium parit... Truth brings hatred." TWEET
does "truth" come in types, in your opinion?
because assuming someone's individual "truth" described the personal "way of enlightenment", "truth" was a synonym for personality. deducting the idealistic component, all you're saying is that "truth" is just life and what matters is how to live it.
well, I believe that this world could be far less hypocritical without its priestly attitude of constantly preaching "the truth".

Twitter is a good place for dirt diggers to study this absurdity of fractal absoluteness called "truth".
are you familiar with the MBTI grid? WIKIPEDIA
you say, "truth" stands for the personal way of life, psychology says, personality changes from type to type, ergo "truth" must be typical. but what kind of "truth" is this?
because this kind of understanding of "truth" would be identical with the common notion of someone's "heart"...
and I don't know if it's attracted your attention already but the more somebody needs and preaches "the truth", the less they're interested to open this black box called "heart". a very peculiar but helpful contradiction once you've understood the social function or traditional significance of "truth".

@cnstantstranger I don't think so. clarity can never be a handicap.

@cnstantstranger you can lend my goggles for awhile, but careful, the power can be overwhelming.
@cnstantstranger I'm learning that not every heart is as gentle as an INFJ.
@findyourownroad True. It would hurt to learn that some people do not love us like we thought they did.
But we learn that anyway in time.
@findyourownroad Also, we might find that some people love us more than we suspected. That would be nice.
It's possible, right?

the "9/11" power play is symptomatic for everyday life situations... as extraterrestrial as it may appear, it's in reality not exotic at all. we play this game even with ourselves which makes the western mind this house of cards.
there's a schizophrenia here that is not academic. I mean, are we trying to get the patient well or are we pulling the plugs one by one? we seem to be acting in both dimensions simultaneously. and I think it's because we have not in this culture awakened to the depth of the crisis that surrounds us…the collapse of Marxism is only the collapse of the outer edge of the societal and civilizing assumptions that we have made. after all Marxism is nothing more that the millenarian retread of Christian millenarianism and so is modern science another secular retread of Christian millenarianism. so our culture is in trouble – not trouble, we are at a terminal crisis. a bifurcation that can only go one of two ways: horror beyond your wildest imagination or breakthrough to dignity, decency, community, and caring beyond your wildest imagination."

"he was making a statement about the human condition. he was saying 'it's hard for us to do this, just the way it's hard for you to do this.' I've discussed this with mushroom shamans in Mexico and Ayahuasqueros in South America. they say 'it is not easy to do this, it is not easy to plunge into this hallucinogenic maelstrom.
no culture prepares you for the modalities of the psychedelic experience. a culture can give you personal authenticity, self-control and courage. these things will serve you well, but in terms of preparing you for what you will experience it's virtually inconceivable.'
I think that the great gift that is going to come out of ayahuasca is the ability to open our heads to each other, to truly deindividuate. to truly create for ourselves a group mind and now on a global scale.
you see, the masculine engineering mentality is just running along behind the feminist-shamanist parade, hard-wiring all the changes into technology. the engineering mentality doesn't believe it unless it turns on with the red light when you hit the button. but all that the engineering mentality can dream of or ever accomplish – it's in place in this vegetable matrix, this other way of doing it that doesn't give you much to show.
no Amazonian shaman can point to an edifice like the World Trade Center, or an atom-smasher, or a moon probe, and say, the genius of my worldview allowed me to create these things. but the genius of their worldview allows them to create authentic caring, a reasonable transmission of gnosis from one generation to another, an ability to walk lightly on the earth, an ability to intuit the needs and feelings of other people. and this is what we lack is any sort of emotional sensitivity, any sort of ability to call on the rational mind at its roots to authenticate us personally in moments of stress and crisis.
the ego really is a poor substitute for authentic being.
and it's the poor substitute for authentic being that we have each and every one of us opted for: man, woman, oldster, child. the neurotic programing is so deep that it is very difficult to transcend it...the archaic consciousness lives! this is why we're so strongly drawn to involve ourselves with these archaic people.
because we recognize that they have answers to questions that we couldn't even ask until the 1960s."

"as a result of the genocide which took place in the Americas in the guise of the conquest and inquisition, it is not surprising that traditional mushroom use went underground.
ironically, in order to survive, the old religion was forced to blend its gods with the Catholic pantheon, and the outer trappings of conversion shielded the decidedly indigenous truth. the elder gods survived in various Christian guises while the population continued to practice divination, healing and age old shamanic ceremonies in the remoteness of the mountains. to this day the mushrooms are referred to as 'the little saints' and even the local priest in Huatla de Jimenez is said to ingest them so that he could talk directly with God."

11'20 @DrugsPsych @whatwakeup loyalty/corporatism plays in another league than conspiracy/corruption.
it's like breaking someone's heart and thinking in terms of affairs of the heart without even wanting to know what it means precisely. two completely different worlds
11'20 @DrugsPsych @whatwakeup I mean, why can't psychologists define the heart?
because they know their science wouldn't work if you didn't believe in it.
11'20 @DrugsPsych @whatwakeup in other words, being corrupt is the most important basic requirement for a successful career in a loyal environment

@cosmopinciotti shut up. thanks for not ever failing to let me know that I'm a total waste of life every time I'm looking for a reminder. you know very well the people and things you are 'trying to understand' don't want understanding.
11'21 @lifessubatomic therefore my piety-theoretical approach: I want to figure out why is it that most people love to fool themselves day by day.
@cosmopinciotti like people who fool themselves so well into believing they have power that such power is manifested? "bypassing the dope"
11'21 @lifessubatomic the Jesuits "only" inspire, quicken, and direct that. they cannot make you believe things which you would refuse point-blank

I don't intent to do anything else than to just understand. there's not one bit hope involved
@cosmopinciotti you have other readers, Cosmo Pinciotti... an audience.

"over the last year, I have been working on a new documentary called 'Weed'.
The title 'Weed' may sound cavalier, but the content is not. I travelled around the world to interview medical leaders, experts, growers and patients...what I found was stunning.
long before I began this project, I had steadily reviewed the scientific literature on medical marijuana from the U.S. and thought it was fairly unimpressive. reading these papers five years ago, it was hard to make a case for medicinal marijuana.
I even wrote about this in a TIME magazine article, back in 2009, titled 'Why I would Vote No on Pot.'
well, I am here to apologize.
I apologize because I didn't look hard enough, until now. I didn't look far enough. I didn't review papers from smaller labs in other countries doing some remarkable research, and I was too dismissive of the loud chorus of legitimate patients whose symptoms improved on cannabis.
instead, I lumped them with the high-visibility malingerers, just looking to get high. I mistakenly believed the Drug Enforcement Agency listed marijuana as a 'Schedule One' substance because of sound scientific proof. surely, they must have quality reasoning as to why marijuana is in the category of the most dangerous drugs that have 'no accepted medicinal use and a high potential for abuse.'
they didn't have the science to support that claim, and I now know that when it comes to marijuana neither of those things are true. it doesn't have a high potential for abuse, and there are very legitimate medical applications. in fact, sometimes marijuana is the only thing that works. take the case of Charlotte Figi, who I met in Colorado. she started having seizures soon after birth. by age 3, she was having 300 a week, despite being on seven different medications. medical marijuana has calmed her brain, limiting her seizures to 2 or 3 per month.
I have seen more patients like Charlotte first hand, spent time with them and come to the realization that it is irresponsible not to provide the best care we can as a medical community, care that could involve marijuana.
we have been terribly and systematically misled for nearly 70 years in the United States, and I apologize for my own role in that.
I hope this article and upcoming documentary will help set the record straight.
on August 14, 1970, the Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Roger O. Egeberg wrote a letter recommending the plant, marijuana, be classified as a 'Schedule One' substance, and it has remained that way for nearly 45 years. my research started with a careful reading of that decades old letter. what I found was unsettling. Egeberg had carefully chosen his words:
'since there is still a considerable void in our knowledge of the plant and effects of the active drug contained in it, our recommendation is that marijuana be retained within Schedule One at least until the completion of certain studies now underway to resolve the issue.'
not because of sound science, but because of its absence, marijuana was classified as a 'Schedule One' substance. again, the year was 1970. Egeberg mentions studies that are underway, but many were never completed. as my investigation continued, however, I realized Egeberg did in fact have important research already available to him, some of it from more than 25 years earlier.
-high risk of abuse-
in 1944, New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia commissioned research to be performed by the New York Academy of Science. among their conclusions: they found marijuana did not lead to significant addiction in the medical sense of the word. they also did not find any evidence marijuana led to morphine, heroin or cocaine addiction.
we now know that while estimates vary, marijuana leads to dependence in around 9 to 10% of its adult users. by comparison, cocaine, a 'Schedule Two' substance 'with less abuse potential than Schedule One drugs' hooks 20% of those who use it. around 25% of heroin users become addicted. the worst is tobacco, where the number is closer to 30% of smokers, many of whom go on to die because of their addiction.
there is clear evidence that in some people marijuana use can lead to withdrawal symptoms, including insomnia, anxiety and nausea. even considering this, it is hard to make a case that it has a high potential for abuse. the physical symptoms of marijuana addiction are nothing like those of the other drugs I've mentioned. I have seen the withdrawal from alcohol, and it can be life threatening.
I do want to mention a concern that I think about as a father. young, developing brains are likely more susceptible to harm from marijuana than adult brains. some recent studies suggest that regular use in teenage years leads to a permanent decrease in IQ. other research hints at a possible heightened risk of developing psychosis.
much in the same way I wouldn't let my own children drink alcohol, I wouldn't permit marijuana until they are adults. if they are adamant about trying marijuana, I will urge them to wait until they're in their mid-20s when their brains are fully developed..." ARTICLE

"over the last year, I have been working on a new documentary called 'Weed'.
The title 'Weed' may sound cavalier, but the content is not. I travelled around the world to interview medical leaders, experts, growers and patients...what I found was stunning.
long before I began this project, I had steadily reviewed the scientific literature on medical marijuana from the U.S. and thought it was fairly unimpressive. reading these papers five years ago, it was hard to make a case for medicinal marijuana.
I even wrote about this in a TIME magazine article, back in 2009, titled 'Why I would Vote No on Pot.'
well, I am here to apologize.
I apologize because I didn't look hard enough, until now. I didn't look far enough. I didn't review papers from smaller labs in other countries doing some remarkable research, and I was too dismissive of the loud chorus of legitimate patients whose symptoms improved on cannabis.
instead, I lumped them with the high-visibility malingerers, just looking to get high. I mistakenly believed the Drug Enforcement Agency listed marijuana as a 'Schedule One' substance because of sound scientific proof. surely, they must have quality reasoning as to why marijuana is in the category of the most dangerous drugs that have 'no accepted medicinal use and a high potential for abuse.'
they didn't have the science to support that claim, and I now know that when it comes to marijuana neither of those things are true. it doesn't have a high potential for abuse, and there are very legitimate medical applications. in fact, sometimes marijuana is the only thing that works. take the case of Charlotte Figi, who I met in Colorado. she started having seizures soon after birth. by age 3, she was having 300 a week, despite being on seven different medications. medical marijuana has calmed her brain, limiting her seizures to 2 or 3 per month.
I have seen more patients like Charlotte first hand, spent time with them and come to the realization that it is irresponsible not to provide the best care we can as a medical community, care that could involve marijuana.
we have been terribly and systematically misled for nearly 70 years in the United States, and I apologize for my own role in that.
I hope this article and upcoming documentary will help set the record straight.
on August 14, 1970, the Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Roger O. Egeberg wrote a letter recommending the plant, marijuana, be classified as a 'Schedule One' substance, and it has remained that way for nearly 45 years. my research started with a careful reading of that decades old letter. what I found was unsettling. Egeberg had carefully chosen his words:
'since there is still a considerable void in our knowledge of the plant and effects of the active drug contained in it, our recommendation is that marijuana be retained within Schedule One at least until the completion of certain studies now underway to resolve the issue.'
not because of sound science, but because of its absence, marijuana was classified as a 'Schedule One' substance. again, the year was 1970. Egeberg mentions studies that are underway, but many were never completed. as my investigation continued, however, I realized Egeberg did in fact have important research already available to him, some of it from more than 25 years earlier.

DMT and the Soul of Prophecy BOOK
11'20 DMT and the Soul of Prophecy by Rick J. Strassmann
A New Science of Spiritual Revelation in the Hebrew Bible BOOK
"At long last, I'm delighted to announce the publication of my latest book: DMT and The Soul of Prophecy.
In this book, I tackle the major unresolved issues with which I was left after finishing my DMT project nearly 20 years ago. This was to find a model that fit the data from our volunteers' reports of the drug state.
This ultimately led me to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) where the notion of a 'prophetic state of consciousness' began taking shape. At the same time, in order to make sense of the Hebrew Bible, I turned to the classic medieval Jewish philosophers like Maimonides, who proposed rather sophisticated metaphysical/spiritual mechanisms for the prophetic experience.
Thus, to the extent that the prophetic and DMT states resembled each other, I could propose metaphysical and spiritual mechanisms in common in addition to shared biological mechanisms.
While the phenomenological properties of the two states overlap convincingly, the information content of the prophetic state appears to be much more highly articulated, enduring, and pervasive as evidenced by the Hebrew Bible's influence throughout the world over the last 2500 years.
The striking differences in the prophetic message versus the DMT one then led me to propose fundamental differences in how the two states come about. This finally led to a novel model of spiritual experience – either prophetic or psychedelic – that works from a top-down rather than bottom-up perspective. The bottom-up perspective is represented by neurotheology wherein changes in brain chemistry give the impression of communicating with the divine, whereas my new model, theoneurology, posits that God communicates with us via the agency of the brain.
The first part of the book reviews my DMT research and subsequently launches onto my search for a new, more salient, model. I take the reader by the hand and walk them carefully and patiently through the minefield that the Hebrew Bible and its various notions, especially that of God, is for many educated secular Westerners. I then carefully compare the DMT and prophetic states using excerpts from my clinical notes as well as from the Hebrew Bible.
This comparison is of both the phenomenological content as well as the information each state seems to contain.
I use the similarities and differences to posit similar and different mechanisms both biologically and metaphysically/spiritually. Finally I suggest practical implications both in the field and in the research laboratory that follow from these theories.
The practical implications of my theory suggesting that Hebrew Bible prophetic experience partakes of the same psychedelic-like features of the DMT state are twofold.
One is that those who revere the text but lack experiential confirmation of its truth may consider the prudent application of the psychedelic state in such situations.
The other is that one might use the Hebrew Bible as a means for deciphering and extracting much more information from the contemporary Western psychedelic drug experience than has hitherto been possible."

He further explained his views regarding the 9/11 attacks in a 2002 keynote address at the July 12–14, 2002 H2K2 conference: 'Outside of the world of whackos and conspiracy theorists and all of that, very few people in the mainstream have been willing to say what I'm about to say, which is, I really and truthfully believe that George W. Bush is somehow involved, either directly or indirectly, in the attacks on New York City on September 11.'
"For a long time now, I have tried to keep my opinions on the election and Barack Obama to myself. I occasionally do speaking engagements, which are not open to the press, and unfortunately some of my comments have been twisted around in a silly manner. The claim that I asserted our new President was not Black is categorically false.
I have seen an endless stream of Black pundits on TV pontificating about the significance of President Obama's election – many of them making reference to the 3/5th's clause in the constitution regarding slaves. The point I was making is that this is not an accurate comparison.
Barack is the son of an immigrant, not the descendant of slaves. It's like comparing a half-Japanese man to the oppressed Chinese who built the American railroads. Yes, they are both Asian, but it is not an honest or accurate comparison. We all share the common experiences of being Black in America today – we do not all share a common history. A history that in part makes us who we are – and in some cases (as with the psychological damage that still lingers from slavery) holds us back. These are not, I believe, insignificant distinctions.
I did say I was cautiously pessimistic about Obama's Presidency – but this is simply acknowledging the reality of an American Empire that is out of control and on the verge of collapse. Let us not forget that on the eve of the election, we witnessed a near-trillion dollar robbery of the US treasury. That robbery is still taking place. I do not blame President Obama, but I do not believe the financial and corporate interests that own and control this country will fold so easily. I do not question the integrity of the man as much as the power of his office – which I believe has greatly diminished over the years. I believe the Federal Reserve Bank, the Military Industrial Complex, and the massive corporate interests that run this country have more power than our new President. I hope I am wrong.
After 9/11, I witnessed most of this country become obsessed with squashing dissent and silencing critics. I hope this election does not turn Black America towards this same, fascist mind state, but already I am starting to see it, and it saddens me greatly. I absolutely wish our new President and his family success and safety. But after all I have witnessed in my lifetime, and especially in the last eight years, I am not ready to lay down my scepticism or my outrage for this government. To do so would be unwise and, ironically enough, anti-American." BLOG POST

Anyone want to bet that he didn't discuss an – ahem, campaign contribution – along the way? The fact that they are utterly against everything Americans say they are for, and don't work anyway, is irrelevant. Profits based on fear trump all and the fix is always in.

DMT and the Soul of Prophecy BOOK
11'20 DMT and the Soul of Prophecy by Rick J. Strassmann
A New Science of Spiritual Revelation in the Hebrew Bible BOOK
"At long last, I'm delighted to announce the publication of my latest book: DMT and The Soul of Prophecy.
In this book, I tackle the major unresolved issues with which I was left after finishing my DMT project nearly 20 years ago. This was to find a model that fit the data from our volunteers' reports of the drug state.
This ultimately led me to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) where the notion of a 'prophetic state of consciousness' began taking shape. At the same time, in order to make sense of the Hebrew Bible, I turned to the classic medieval Jewish philosophers like Maimonides, who proposed rather sophisticated metaphysical/spiritual mechanisms for the prophetic experience.
Thus, to the extent that the prophetic and DMT states resembled each other, I could propose metaphysical and spiritual mechanisms in common in addition to shared biological mechanisms.
While the phenomenological properties of the two states overlap convincingly, the information content of the prophetic state appears to be much more highly articulated, enduring, and pervasive as evidenced by the Hebrew Bible's influence throughout the world over the last 2500 years.
The striking differences in the prophetic message versus the DMT one then led me to propose fundamental differences in how the two states come about. This finally led to a novel model of spiritual experience – either prophetic or psychedelic – that works from a top-down rather than bottom-up perspective. The bottom-up perspective is represented by neurotheology wherein changes in brain chemistry give the impression of communicating with the divine, whereas my new model, theoneurology, posits that God communicates with us via the agency of the brain.
The first part of the book reviews my DMT research and subsequently launches onto my search for a new, more salient, model. I take the reader by the hand and walk them carefully and patiently through the minefield that the Hebrew Bible and its various notions, especially that of God, is for many educated secular Westerners. I then carefully compare the DMT and prophetic states using excerpts from my clinical notes as well as from the Hebrew Bible.
This comparison is of both the phenomenological content as well as the information each state seems to contain.
I use the similarities and differences to posit similar and different mechanisms both biologically and metaphysically/spiritually. Finally I suggest practical implications both in the field and in the research laboratory that follow from these theories.
The practical implications of my theory suggesting that Hebrew Bible prophetic experience partakes of the same psychedelic-like features of the DMT state are twofold.
One is that those who revere the text but lack experiential confirmation of its truth may consider the prudent application of the psychedelic state in such situations.
The other is that one might use the Hebrew Bible as a means for deciphering and extracting much more information from the contemporary Western psychedelic drug experience than has hitherto been possible."

11'17 the particles that make up those particles
"I had a vision of everything being broken down into atoms and then the particles that make up atoms and then the particles that make up those particles...it was something so spectacular that I started to cry just thinking about it...I came to this sense that when we die nothing is lost. these bodies are nothing more than molecules and atoms and other smaller things. when we die our body just continues to be all of that. I don't know that I could ever explain the sensation I had, but it is at that moment that I saw the universe in its entirety...I lost my ego. this is another aspect of tripping I would have never understood without experiencing it...my consciousness was simply floating in free space and I had nothing to attach it to."
"About 8 weeks ago I started a batch because I finally decided that I wanted to experience what everyone has been describing for so long.
...I was pretty confident that I would not have a bad trip and that was mostly because I knew what to expect and I had no troubling issues in my life that I had not been dealing with.
...I took 3 at first and because I had no scale to weigh anything out I planned on just waiting it out for a while to see what effect that much would have.
...We sat and talked for almost an hour and I could not help but just soak in all the beauty of the river. I could feel the sensation getting slightly stronger but not overwhelming. I saw the ripples in the water moving in what seemed to be an orchestrated symphony and everything seemed to be chiming with harmony. It was one of the coolest feelings that I have ever felt.
...When I would see an image that I thought was strange it would almost echo through my mind and with each echo become something slightly more distorted than the last.
I was really enjoying this feeling and I wanted to experience more so I decided to try a few more shrooms. I do not remember how many more I ate I think something like 4 which maybe was not smart of me but the mushrooms actually started to taste delicious and I almost could not stop.
...I just recall at some point noticing myself talking and realizing I have been saying stuff for a few minutes and not even realizing it. What an odd feeling to catch yourself talking and realize you were not aware of it. I don't remember what I was saying to myself but it seemed to make perfect sense to me even though it was probably complete non-sense. As I spoke my voice became deeper and slower like when you slow a tape down although I don't think it was actually my voice doing the slowing but instead my perception of my voice.
...I closed my eyes and saw a kaleidoscope full of blue and grey and red and in the midst of the image was an eye lid opening and it was so vivid it actually surprised me. The eye seemed so real and meaningful as it opened as if it was a signal that my mind was about to be opened to a whole new world.
I saw many things while laying there and felt myself letting go and surrendering to the trip. One of the most amazing things I experienced was what I can only describe as 'seeing the whole universe'. I have heard that when you are under the influence you have the feeling of becoming one with everything or nature but found it hard to imagine what that was like. I understood completely when at this moment I had no fear of death no sense of loss or sadness. I saw everything at its basic form. We are all a collection of the same things. I had a vision of everything being broken down into atoms and then the particles that make up atoms and then the particles that make up those particles, not that anyone knows whether or not those truly exists. Either way it was something so spectacular that I started to cry just thinking about it. When we break it all down we are the same... everything is the same. I came to this sense that when we die nothing is lost. These bodies are nothing more than molecules and atoms and other smaller things. When we die our body just continues to be all of that. I don't know that I could ever explain the sensation I had, but it is at that moment that I saw the universe in its entirety. I saw it all spread out around me in a flat plain and I could see for endless miles but no part was too distant for me to not see it. I was able to see every part in its detail but at the same time see the whole thing in one whole part. It is said that humans can not understand the concept of eternity but I feel that at that moment I did.
After this great moment I realized that I did not know who I was. As they say, I lost my ego. This is another aspect of tripping I would have never understood without experiencing it. It was not that I forgot completely about my life or my past experiences but it felt as if me was not me anymore and that I was experiencing what I was experiencing not from someone else's point of view but from the point of view of no one. My consciousness was simply floating in free space and I had nothing to attach it to. It was scary to think about and the thought crossed my mind that I may never come back to reality but I had to just let go and tell myself I will soon be back.
If I am being honest I think the ego loss started when I caught myself talking and didn't realize it because at that moment my 'self' was continuing to operate in reality while my mind was drifting away and perceiving it from a far off view point. A very, very strange phenomenon that, I imagine, can be horrible but extremely eye opening if experienced correctly.
...I felt so good and so alive and I grabbed one of my drums and began to play and dance around my room and I was amazed at how awesome this felt. I sat for a while after and just played the drum on my bed. Every time I beat the drum the room would shake and vibrate with the vibration of the music. I knew that I had experienced something amazing and I almost could not wait to come back to reality to reflect on my journey with a clear mind.
...I can truly say that what happened that night was amazingly unique and that I will never forget it. WEBSITE

"writing until my soul is naked and I stand before you unshackled, uninhibited – free"
11'16 @OceanOfSong do you really believe that? because the purpose of feel-good poetry is always to just stay away from true bareness. for me, talking to one another emulates the sex act.

11'17 @cosmopinciotti Sorry, it's a bittersweet feature of Twitter that we're limited to 140 characters. ESSAY
11'18 @psychonaut_org that's fine.
for me, Twitter is a link machine: kind of an engine which enables you to protocol brainstorming. thanks a lot!
11'18 @psychonaut_org Twitter provides a brainstorm memory function for free TWEET if you save your tweets and RTs as text files
@cosmopinciotti @psychonaut_org I'm still learning Twitter!
11'22 @StevenP23 @psychonaut_org maybe there is already a software that does what I do tweet by tweet automatically: a live-archiving application.
11'18 "Bellah does not believe it is necessary to choose one approach over the other, but suggests that both the experiential-expressivist theory and cultural-linguistic theory can be utilized as 'coordinate approaches' (2011, p. 12)." interesting stuff!

10'02 Known as "God's Flesh" amongst Aztec tribes the #psilocybin mushroom held great religious significance.
More info at WEBSITE
@psychonaut_org nonetheless, the high priests of the Aztecs seemed to have been rather militant and bloodthirsty than distinctly psychedelic
@cosmopinciotti Agreed. On the other hand, why think part of being a 'psychedelic' community necessarily involves peace and demilitarization?

Always good to know there are like-minded people out there!

"About 8 weeks ago I started a batch because I finally decided that I wanted to experience what everyone has been describing for so long.
...I was pretty confident that I would not have a bad trip and that was mostly because I knew what to expect and I had no troubling issues in my life that I had not been dealing with.
...I took 3 at first and because I had no scale to weigh anything out I planned on just waiting it out for a while to see what effect that much would have.
...We sat and talked for almost an hour and I could not help but just soak in all the beauty of the river. I could feel the sensation getting slightly stronger but not overwhelming. I saw the ripples in the water moving in what seemed to be an orchestrated symphony and everything seemed to be chiming with harmony. It was one of the coolest feelings that I have ever felt.
...When I would see an image that I thought was strange it would almost echo through my mind and with each echo become something slightly more distorted than the last.
I was really enjoying this feeling and I wanted to experience more so I decided to try a few more shrooms. I do not remember how many more I ate I think something like 4 which maybe was not smart of me but the mushrooms actually started to taste delicious and I almost could not stop.
...I just recall at some point noticing myself talking and realizing I have been saying stuff for a few minutes and not even realizing it. What an odd feeling to catch yourself talking and realize you were not aware of it. I don't remember what I was saying to myself but it seemed to make perfect sense to me even though it was probably complete non-sense. As I spoke my voice became deeper and slower like when you slow a tape down although I don't think it was actually my voice doing the slowing but instead my perception of my voice.
...I closed my eyes and saw a kaleidoscope full of blue and grey and red and in the midst of the image was an eye lid opening and it was so vivid it actually surprised me. The eye seemed so real and meaningful as it opened as if it was a signal that my mind was about to be opened to a whole new world.
I saw many things while laying there and felt myself letting go and surrendering to the trip. One of the most amazing things I experienced was what I can only describe as 'seeing the whole universe'.
