    Truffles/Philosopher stones

    Yes, I try these everytime I visit Amsterdam. When I first tried them 3 years ago they were a bit weaker than the magic mushrooms but the effects were longer lasting. Nowadays, my trips with the truffles are indistinguishable from my shroom trips. Its like Amsterdam never made shrooms illegal.

    Holland banning tourists from buying cannabis from the cafes

    I was hoping to find a thread like this in the News section. Looks like they've created plenty of chaos and made Maastricht a haven for street dealers. Protestors just say no to Dutch cannabis ban | Reuters

    meditation and transformation (or magick)

    I'm going to be unhelpful here an state that my experience with thelemic magick has had the opposite effect of the one you're looking for. The central canon of Thelema is Do What Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law i.e. find out what you're true will is and do just that. I soon realised that it...

    First time on hallucigenics need help please...

    I started out as a Christian, then when I became disillusioned with it I joined the Golden Dawn and also became a student of Eastern philosophies. This was all years before my first psychedelic trip. By 2003 when I had my first psychedelic trip, I was an agnostic bordering on atheism. My first...

    US Citizens campaign to defund drug Czar

    Any US citizens interested in signing a petition sponsored by the Fearless Group to defund the Drug Czar and change a failed drugs policy that is costing the USA millions in tax dollars, see link below. http://taxdollars.ocregister.com/2011/0 ... ion/75949/

    Timothy Leary - Visionary or Fool

    You can only quote Timothy Leary as an authority to a person who believes he's an authority, otherwise quoting any of his texts means very little, so you're not incorrect, it is a subjective thing. Timothy Leary had his ego failings, but he did leave behind a body of work that could help guide...

    On killing the ego

    Max, I don't think Leary was intending to describe ego-death when he wrote that passage. That's the description of what might happen to you if you experience the Fire-Flow of Internal Unity vision. He goes on to say: When this happens, there are several steps which can take you back to the...

    Alcohol 'more harmful than heroin' says Prof David Nutt

    At the moment the tired old moralists are getting their way, they even managed to hold back proposition 19 in California, but hopefully studies like this will have a big part to play in a future populated by more enlightened people.

    California's Proposition 19 Rejected by Voters

    It's a pity that when politicians get desperate they see marijuana/cannabis as a target. When Gordon Brown was having difficulties he decided to reclassify cannabis from a class C to a class B drug. Similarly Obama is now opposing it due to midterm difficulties, despite being in favour of...

    Dutch Coffeeshops to become members-only clubs

    It looks like the VVD have sided with the wrong guys for their coalition just because they wanted to implement their austerity plan, which will probably lead to dutch workers going on strike anyway like other countries in Europe have experienced when carrying out such a plan. So much for their...

    magick?

    That’s exactly right. Thoughts are coming to us all the time and we can choose whether to bring the positive ones or the negative ones into the world. If we can bring them under control of our higher will, we can choose the positive ones and exorcise the negative ones. My psychedelic experiences...

    magick?

    "Do What Thou Wilt" means interface with the higher will then be its avatar/representative on Earth, as opposed to "Do Whatever You Want" which could involve catering to negative demands from the lower ego. When I feel I've interfaced with higher beings via a shroom trip I want to spread the...

    magick?

    Without discussing any of the contents of The Book of the Law, many of my thoughts on it are mirrored, and to a certain extent influenced by, The Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson, a truly excellent book if you can manage to get your hands on a copy.

    magick?

    As an avid Aleister Crowley reader I equate magick with being the art and science of cause and effect. Even such a thing as turning on my broadband (cause) to access the internet (effect) is a form of magick albeit a lower form of magick. What occult groups like the Golden Dawn etc practice is...

    Will you ever be done with psychodelics?

    I certainly plan to continually use for now. Whenever I start to lose my motivation for doing my meditation and my yoga I need my psilocybin to restore it to me. Every few months or so I seem to lose the will to carry on with my gnostic practices and psilocybin always manages to give it back to...

    "Scientists say Free will isn't real, but urge "Believe!""

    I've studied Thelema and what you're describing as DNA and historical occurences seems a lot like what Aleister Crowley describes as "true will" where "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" but Crowley goes on to explain that harming someone else isn't your true will because it's like...

    UK Drug Adviser sacked by the Home Office

    New medical marijuana policy issued by Obama administration

    A new Gallup pole in the USA shows support for outright legalisation of marijuana up to 44% with the west side of the USA showing the best results with 53% in favour. http://www.gallup.com/poll/123728/U.S.- ... -High.aspx

    New medical marijuana policy issued by Obama administration

    While the USA is still a long way from legalising marijuana, it's good that they've taken a step in the right direction at the federal level, and the gulf between the USA's policy and that of Gordon the moron's in the UK has just got a step wider.

    Kundalini yoga

    I’ll try to elaborate based on my own experience. One of the most common closed eye visual I get first is of different parts of my anatomy so if any part of it is unhealthy there’s no place to hide, it’s like all is revealed to you in a scan of your body. Needless to say it’s my heart I get most...

    Kundalini yoga

    I am a huge fan of Maya Fiennes and her Yogi Bhajan style of Kundalini Yoga. http://www.mayaspace.com/ What shrooms gave me was the opportunity to have a taste and experience of what my body would feel like when free of all the blockages of mind and body caused by eating the wrong kind of food...

    Copenhagen planning to legalise cannabis for locals only

    Not so wonderful Copenhagen are planning an experiment to legalise cannabis for 3 years. http://www.cphpost.dk/news/local/87-loc ... trade.html The downside is, if it goes through it will follow the current trend in the Netherlands of members only cannabis cafes for locals only. However, the...

    America defeated in its 40-year war on drugs

    Mexico decriminalizes small-scale drug possession!

    Theoretically it's supposed to be a problem because the army are being asked to combat drugs because of their criminality whilst the government are decriminalising them, but I feel it's just something for those opposing the decriminalisation to say because in practice the sale of drugs is still...

    why do you do drugs?

    Although I feel that my real gnostic work is my yoga and meditation and not the drugs, magic mushrooms and truffles give me back the incentive to carry on with my gnostic work after the stress of life and passage of time take it out of me and make me feel too lazy. Without the shrooms I'd have...

    Why you became a Psychonaut.

    I was briefly in a Golden Dawn sect in the late1980s, and I became really interested in Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson from Israel Regardie "bigging" them up in his books and introductions to Crowley's. When the Guardian announced in 2003 that fresh magic mushrooms were legal in the UK...

    Obama's Mixed Messages on Marijuana

    Obama promised to give science it's proper place above politics. It's a shame that this chance he had to put it to the test he chose to deride the internet audience in way that seemed more for politics rather than considering the prospect in a scientific kind of way.

    decriminalization in Portugal unquestionable success

    If that was in response to my post, then you read it wrong. My point was that you can't smoke in coffee shops or buy magic mushrooms in Headshops. The decriminalisation relates to possession but it's still illegal to sell marijuana and magic mushrooms over there, or so I was told. I would be...

    decriminalization in Portugal unquestionable success

    I'd heard about the decriminalisation in Portugal, but also just afterwards that it's still illegal to sell it. I'd written off Portugal as a place where you can't just smoke cannabis openly in a cafe/coffee shop or buy magic mushrooms in a headshop as the shop would still be illegal and get...

    SAVE OUR SHROOMS campaign + news : launched !

    Favorite place to trip

    I'll go with the saying that goes "if it's not broke don't fix it" and say Amsterdam. What with Vondel Park, the weird musicians that play along Damrak, the weird performers that perform at Dam Square, the bell and tram sounds that seem to come out of the sky, Nieuwendijk shops, the coffee...

    UK overrules scientific advice re classifying cannabis

    The Real Life Matrix - A very controversial thread

    Envid, whether what you're saying is profound or just fantasy it's the kind of stuff I can read for ages and enjoy whilst I'm under the influence of psychedelics. The drugs really give my brain a demand for that kind of literature. Perhaps the only thing I can criticise is your use of the year...

    The Real Life Matrix - A very controversial thread

    Being a Gnostic who has extensively used Thelema to try to understand myself, I do believe in True Will. There is a difference with free will since I understand when my lower ego is allowed to exercise free will, for example I know that if I'm not allowed to use psychedelic drugs I'm prevented...

    Tarot and Entheogens

    I found out pretty early on that I had no ability whatsoever to predict the future using Tarot Cards. However, I have a Crowley/Thoth deck, exquisitely painted by Lady Frieda Harris, and when I look at the cards under the influence of shrooms the cards seem to take on a life of their own. The...

    Guy on psilo jumps out of his window in The Hague

    That's sad. Whenever I'm in the Netherlands I buy my shrooms from one of the dealers on Warmoestraat by the Amsterdam RLD. The dealers there have never let me down yet, the staff are friendly and the quality is always good. If the Netherlands makes shrooms illegal I'll probably have to go to one...

    Books

    I'd recommend just about anything by Timothy Leary or Robert Anton Wilson. If you want to add magickal ritual to your psychonauting activities then add just about Aleister Crowley as well.

    Greetings fellow Psychonauts!!

    If lying on your back etc. works for you then by all means use it. That's the method I use when I'm on the shrooms. I see the inner light of the Kether plus all the colours of the Queen Scale of the Kaballah in order. The effect is just awesome. Magickal ritual works for me because posing in...

    Greetings fellow Psychonauts!!

    Oh wow! I didn't expect this to develop into such a full blown discussion. Cool 8) Although Crowley billed Thelema as a religion, I think Restin is right when he says it's more of a philosophy. I don't think of myself as a Thelemite, I think of myself as a Gnostic who uses thelemic magick as...

    Greetings fellow Psychonauts!!

    All the religion really requires is that you try to make contact with your higher consciousness, review your purpose and do what your supposed to be doing in this dimension. The religion demands you do the simple rituals to bring down your higher conscious to this plane and strengthen your...

    My view of life, death, afterlife, psychedelics etc.

    Lol! I think the bit you are referring to is the afterword added by Crowley after he believed Norman Mudd and Leah Hersig abused it. I would hope that after the 1960s and the works of Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson have brought greater understanding of it that bit need no longer apply...

    Greetings fellow Psychonauts!!

    I'd like to think that in concert with my Hindu yoga and meditation, and my experiences with shrooms, it helps bring me closer to the higher consciousness within me, let's the higher consciousness express itself in this dimension using me as it's vessel and helps protect my soul from negative...

    My view of life, death, afterlife, psychedelics etc.

    Sorry sir, I try to avoid message board arguing if I can since it leads to bad feeling and bad karma.

    My view of life, death, afterlife, psychedelics etc.

    There are some very interesting threads about ego, suicide etc on this forum. I find Sufi's very open minded compared to other paths in Islam and a lot of Dervish's post reflects my own thelemic thinking. I believe Crowley's Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law to be a truly divine...

    Greetings fellow Psychonauts!!

    I'd just like to introduce myself. I'm into western Thelemic Magick and Eastern Meditation and Yoga. I also take the odd psychedelic every few months to get me back on the path when I'm falling off it. This site is fantastic, the information and the freedom of opinion is second to none and I...
