    Current Acidhead, taking alot frequently, have some q's

    Not just to develop, but especially to maintain. Generally your future will be brighter when you develop skills, study, read and live a productive life. I'm not suggesting a completely materialistic Western lifestyle. If anything, I'm in favor of the Vedic model we discussed earlier. Both the...

    Current Acidhead, taking alot frequently, have some q's

    True, it becomes hard to relate to parents and siblings if they're not interested in mind-expansion or spiritual development. But when I was talking about family I was particularly talking about the family we create ourselves when we become involved in a relationship and decide to have children...

    ghetto vitamins for plants

    I can't imagine that's a cheap way of providing nutrients, because the minerals in a children's multivitamin are usually chelated, which is important for the human body, but not for plants. Chelated minerals are much more expensive than inorganic minerals. There's quite a bit of iron in that...

    Current Acidhead, taking alot frequently, have some q's

    I agree there are numerous ways to be an escapist. I'm just saying that the danger of doing psychedelics too often is that one may neglect practical concerns. The negative consequences for that person might not be immediately apparent, but will manifest as they get older. Had Albert Hofmann...

    Current Acidhead, taking alot frequently, have some q's

    I agree addiction is an inappropriate term. There is however, as with all spiritual pursuits, a danger of escapism. One generally doesn't wish to escape from "the truth" (about the war on drugs, the banking system, environmental pollution and so on) but there may be a tendency to neglect...

    Best way of preparing san pedro cactus

    Yesterday I decided to give the juice a try. As I mentioned before, I condensed the liquid a bit. I took one and a half large coffee mugs. I could swallow it all down within a couple of seconds. It didn't taste bad at all (only a bitter aftertaste which disappeared after just one sip of fruit...

    Ayahuasca benefits

    I didn't say they should "give too much", but "enough". I do understand the point you're trying to make however. I think that those who come to an Ayahuasca session do so because they want to have a spiritual experience, gain insight about themselves and the world they live in, and personally...

    Entity contact or other high-dose bizarreness

    On Salvia I had the experience of being talked to, but in retrospect I could clearly see that it had been statements of my own mind, which I simply didn't recognize as my own anymore, and even experienced as somewhat hostile or forceful because of the general disorienting and somewhat disturbing...

    Magic Mushroom Growbox Kit

    Yes, it contains psilocybin (when you bruise it, it stains blue). Still it's a living organism that's sold legally in Dutch smartshops. In Holland only the psilocybin containing "toadstools" have been banned, not the spores, mycelium and sclerotia.
  13. A

    Magic Mushroom Growbox Kit

    Yes, it depends a bit on the strain. It's possible your mycelium box contains a Mazapatec, B+ or Cambodian strain. One of these, I forgot which, takes significantly longer to form fruits. I never got mushrooms within 2 weeks, it always took at least 3 weeks. I think I harvested about 20 or 30 of...

    Great post, thanks for writing. Sort of like a condensed version of Zeitgeist and a couple of other documentaries I've seen. Will write more later, I want to read the other posts in this thread now.

    Sorry. I wrote a response last night, but decided not to post it yet. Here it is: You may not be in a hurry, but others are. People who are sick would really appreciate it if a cure for their illness was discovered. And the whole planet would benefit if new clean energy sources are discovered...

    In that case you're rightfully receiving social welfare rather than "refusing to be a slave" and being "on strike". You also can't recommend "everyone to do the same" because a person is either incapable of work (because of falling in a certain DSM:V classification or otherwise) or they are. You...

    In this discussion we're assuming you're mentally and physically able to work. If you were not, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Your position is "I will refuse to live as a slave and encourage everyone to do the same..." This discussion is based on that statement. Going to work has...

    It doesn't mattter who or what is the truest parasite. Right now you are living a parasitic lifestyle, and you're happily accepting and spending what you consider the true parasite: money.

    Money, $

    You can live on social security for a short while, but then you got to go to work again, to build character strength, develop skills, social flexibility, accountability and endurance. Otherwise you run the risk of becoming a lazy escapist for the rest of your life. And that path doesn't lead to...

    what's happened to Michael Hoffman from egodeath?

    In which category falls DNA? Because DNA programs the creation of a nervous system or conscious being, which then becomes motivated to replicate DNA, resulting in another conscious being. If we say DNA is matter because it consists of material elements, then consciousness does seem to be...

    Anyone want to join the fight for Australian Legalisation?

    I certainly don't want to diminish your enthusiasm. It's just that I feel a direct confrontation with law enforcement and the judicial system is likely going to be fruitless and might get you into serious trouble. Writing books is fine, of course. Or writing articles. Whatever helps to raise...

    So there's the catch: "though canons of conduct which offend against the ordinary laws are outside the area of any immunity, privilege or right conferred on the grounds of religion."

    Anyone want to join the fight for Australian Legalisation?

    Who is the founder of your religion and how long have people been congregating in the context of this religion? Santo Daime is accepted as a religion because it was founded in the 1930s and is clearly a type of Christianity. In some countries members may legally ingest the sacrament within the...

    Advice, planning, and help if you're feeling down.

    Regarding wine, I have no particular opinion about it, but I read in "The Secret Chief: Revealed" by Mylon Stolaroff that psychedelic psychotherapist Leo Zeff would always offer wine at the end of every session. Also, it's likely that the ancient kykeon was wine mixed with psychedelic...

    The Afterglow: Trip Report

    I also had that experience. In my case it was specifically the door that seemed to talk to me, disapproving of my activities. In retrospect I could clearly understand what had happened. I had been smoking the salvia in my room, but two people who lived in the same house would come home later...

    Advice, planning, and help if you're feeling down.

    I just wanted to add that there is a network of professionals (therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and so on) that you can contact if your psychedelic experience has a prolonged negative reaction. It's called the Spiritual Emergency Network and they have a 24/7 telephone referral center...

    "Recovery" from a good first experience?

    I do agree with you there. The way I wrote it sounded a bit too absolute. It's good to take some time after each trip to contemplate and integrate what came up. It's just that generally one doesn't need to recover from anything.
  40. A

    Duality

    The ultimate creative principle. Well, can't really elaborate on it, 'cause it's unfathomable and ineffable. But I was referring to any type of experience or vision of "the source of creation", "the original of all", "the eternal process of unfolding", "God" etc. It may be DNA or Big Bang...

    Best way of preparing san pedro cactus

    I cut off the thorns with scissors and left the skin of the cactus intact. I used gloves to cut (or saw...) the star-shaped parts. The material was 685 grams. I put the pieces in the freezer and took them out the next morning. Grinding them into mush took quite a while. Separating the liquid was...

    The Digital Hofmann Collection

    I wasn't sure if this Appendix appeared in all editions. This fourth edition was published by MAPS. But I'm sure many of the members here already heard about this Collection through the Erowid and/or MAPS newsletters. I just hadn't heard about these archives before until yesterday. It's really...

    Trip Exhaustion

    Quite frankly, this is why many of us prefer ayahuasca, mushrooms, acid and cacti, because if you take any of those at a reasonable time of day, you will wake up next morning completely clear-headed, refreshed and invigorated, regardless of the intensity of the experience.

    The Digital Hofmann Collection

    "Recovery" from a good first experience?

    I don't think you have to recover from anything and I also don't think you need a whole lot of time to process what you have experienced. There's no reason why one shouldn't have illuminating, groundbreaking experiences on a monthly, weekly or even a daily basis. Well, there are reasons why...

    Best way of preparing san pedro cactus

    I don't have a lot of San Pedro but would like to try this method tonight/tomorrow. I will measure the size and weight of the chunks before I'll put them in the freezer, and then ingest on Sunday morning.

    Duality

    I never really thought along those lines, although it's a feeling that may come up during high dose trips. I've always been taught not to take the "I am God" (as in "I am the Creator") revelations too seriously, as this may lead to subtle forms of ego-inflation. Examples of people who believe...
  48. A

    Duality

    I don't think so. All that's inside are representations of certain areas of the outside world.
  49. A

    Duality

    Yes, it is a feedback mechanism, the external conditioning the internal, and the internal directing the external. It is often hard to determine which came first, especially if there would be such things as multiple lifetimes and karma. In any case, the internal world involves past events...
  50. A

    Duality

    Well I do believe the inside and outside are intimately related, or an interactive continuum, as Alan Watts and others have so eloquently explained. In that sense they are indeed one. Still the words refer to different areas: the outside referring to the consensus reality of everyday life and...
  51. A

    Duality

    It seems to me that we have two ways of being aware. One is related to the protection, survival, pleasure and reproduction of the physical organism, the other isn't. The first mode is indeed based on serotonal communication and a general predominance of the beta range of brainwave frequencies...

    what's happened to Michael Hoffman from egodeath?

    Not really angry, but annoyed about the way you represented him in that paragraph, because on practically every page of his books he criticizes the standard psychoanalytical model. If he had been in favor of that model, he would have practiced psycholytic therapy (using low to medium dosages...

    what's happened to Michael Hoffman from egodeath?

    This isn't true at all. Stan Grof is an exponent of experiential therapy, which involves complete freedom to express the emotions and physical sensations one is experiencing. It's true that in psychedelic therapy the client is encouraged to wear eyeshades, but if you read Grof's books carefully...

    Suicide

    I don't think many people truly understand "where these intense feelings and ideation are coming from, what to do about them and how to transcend human suffering in a constructive way." If these things were common knowledge, we wouldn't have so many suicides occurring all over the world.
  56. A

    Suicide

    It's a mistaken attempt to transcend human suffering. By nature, organisms want to maintain their physical integrity at all costs. When someone contemplates or commits suicide it's because they don't understand where their intense feelings and ideation are coming from, what to do about them and...

    Why are YOU here?

    I'm here (on Earth) because my mother gave birth to this body and so far it somehow survived.

This is why I live a relatively...

    Ayahuasca benefits

    If you didn't have any visuals, you didn't drink enough. Did you pay for this session? Because I think that when you pay for a ritual, the experts in charge should make sure you do get a sufficiently high dose. It's your own responsibility of course, but also theirs. Don't get me wrong: it's...

    LSD after a bad trip?

    A low dose of Salvia probably won't hurt, but remember that it's very much unlike mushrooms and LSD. An interesting tool to study the workings of the mind, but perhaps not really appropriate at this stage of your exploration. I said I wanted to comment on some of the things you mentioned, but...

    LSD after a bad trip?

    That sounds like a very normal psychedelic crisis. This just goes to show that even with the right dosage and an excellent set and setting a person may have a challenging and frightening trip. I have a lot to say about many of the things you mentioned, particularly the claustrophobic feelings...
  61. A

    LSD after a bad trip?

    That all sounds like a great setting, and good thing that you weighed them before ingestion. The only thing that is not clear from this description is whether the lights were dimmed or turned off. Especially with mushrooms (which give very vivid closed-eye visuals) this seems to be a major...
