    Which is more of a relaxing high: shrooms or acid?

    I am told that spice is really, really strong and quite different to weed. however, if you smoke enough weed you are going to trip too, especially if you take a break of at least 2 weeks before that. so, nothing special to have strong effects from it. a mushroom trip is going to be very...

    Divination.

    I think it works, but it depends on how you approach it. there is something like a conscious syncronicity, but if you are merely bored and mechanically doing random stuff, it won't work. if you set out to receive a special answer, it won't work. if you try to divine the future, it won't work at...

    Which is more of a relaxing high: shrooms or acid?

    I found lsd to be more stimulating, but I prefer it over shrooms a lot, since shrooms always made me really tired in the beginning, and the shroom trip was always a lot more uncontrolled than the trip with lsd. to me, lsd seems more of a plug-in, while shrooms grab you with your hands and mold...

    peripheral vision

    I find that my vision greatly depends on how open I am to life at a certain moment. If I feel beset, pressured, my vision flickers around, the circle of cognition is very small, my eyes may process peripheral stuff, but I don't register it much at all. if I feel gloomy and tired, my vision...

    the best way to meditate

    ^absolutely. I always set a timer for meditation, everything else is a waste of time, since you will have a lot of internal considering whether it was enough by now or not. if you set a timer, no such question arises and you have a lot more capacity to actually meditate.

    :heart: nice post. I think what is scarier than there being a conspiracy, is that there might be none.

    Mythic Living

    in any case jung was wayy ahead of his contemporaries. I think the core of a mythological experience is to see the story (or archetype) one is living, rather than being possessed by it, as Hitler was. Seeing is freeing.

    .R.I.P. Bastiaan

    I suppose neptune was in a major aspect in bastiaans chart? I gave astrology a chance some time ago, and I think there might be quite something to it. Richard Tarnas makes some amazing points comparing charts and historical occurences.

    Art and psychedelics

    if you think that hashish isn't psychedelic you haven't smoked/eaten enough of it ;) he may be right, or not. to me it seems that some drugs disinhibit some parts, or amplify others of your experience/brain/consciousness. so in a sense I think that hashish may bear a useful role (as a...

    .R.I.P. Bastiaan

    the thing with psychedelics is that many people often seem to think that they have found "the truth" and act with a confidence that mirrors that thought. I read on realitysandwich an article the other day and it said that the author feels that many in the psychedelia scene often seem to be...

    Ayahuasca Brew vs Psilocybin Mushrooms

    I'm afraid we can't really fix your head, the good news is that you can. it sounds like some new-age adage, but allow the bullshit. be with it, realize that the bullshit is not who you are. your mad pursuit of whatever it is you desire brought you into this quagmire. in your place, I wouldn't...

    the best way to meditate

    there is no best way, but for me, the vipassana courses were amazing. they really drive home the message that you can actually dive deeeep into your mind without psychedelics. even though the courses are rather hardcore in a way, you don't need much prior experience. check it out: Vipassana...

    can psychedelics help us see through propaganda?

    you bring up some good points. of course I'm not fully endorsing what graham talks about, but I do think it is an inspiring talk he is giving. on the question of afterlife and hell, I cannot talk about it with any authority, and neither can anybody else, I suppose. personally I'm faring well...

    Smoking weed became a struggle

    Why do I only have partial control over lucid dreams?

    the money system is evil

    the money system is evil

    right now money is backed by the growth of the economy, which is why growth is treated as the holy grail by so many economists, so in that sense it still is based on something real. if the economy stops growing, money looses its value, we get inflation and all the troubles connected with that...

    Exercise

    Are humans really evolving or are we programmed as other animals??

    I agree that the money is a tool, but its mechanics and nature are not neutral at all, as it would be in the case of a hammer. the tool itself has a tendency that pulls people in whether they want to or not (largely due to inbuilt interest and the resulting debt - enslavement). so I don't think...
