what a letdown that was.

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...

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...

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...

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 internet is a hydra, especially pertaining to drugs. so, there are already 2 marketplaces that I've heard of. still a shame, though.

^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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

wow, he didn't seem so psychotic as a poster, nothing that I remember anywhay. sorry to hear the story.

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...

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...

I know nothing of either, but I stumbled a few days ago upon an article comparing the two: Ayahuasca Versus Daime: The Medicine of Yin and Yang | Reality Sandwich

1: walking and dancing, no problem. in fact both tend to be more fun than before. eating usually didn´t interest me, except when the trip ends, then there´s hardly anything I enjoyed as much as fruit :) you´ll know what I mean. bring lots of fruit. friends of mine swear on lemons for tripping...

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...

I'd move the topic, but I'm not a mod anymore, even though my rank says I am. whatever. since you surf reality sandwich too there is a good chance you already saw the video, but in case you haven't, check it out (and everybody else of course :) ) I like that guy. he seems very impartial...

:heart: stay on the ball, but rethink your idea that staying sober means running away from what happens when you smoke weed. maybe you can find a more controlled way of accessing your unconscious, meditation comes to mind.
