Psychedelics are not required

Why? Because my daughter wants to go on a shroom trip with just her and me as I have never tried them. She also wants to light a fire in the fire pit too under the stars and watch the Perseids meteor shower. Talk about adding too many elements to my first time, that is, if I agree to it. Too much to deal with, I think.

"The activation of self-conscious emotions with psychedelics deserves further attention as a challenging experience subcategory that may be relevant to psychological outcomes. Such experiences could pose a unique and context-dependent learning condition for both therapeutic and detrimental forms of shame-related memory reconsolidation."

Hmm.

Connection is rare these days between hoomans. Embrace an offering from an offspring, it is priceless in time and space.

And prey do tell of the amusings after the fact and where ye ventured together.

...do the the drugs pray to the bugs...

Now you're gettin' it!

The drugs has the same purpose as sex. Pacification. Recreational use is just a guise. The monk tells you to save your seed, but you won't listen

Of course spirits will come to you for sex and drugs, they want you to do these things

Danny Jones, you are right about the original meaning of Christ, he is a drug, you would you know this if you prayed. They are wolves on a leash you know, not sheep. You should visit a congregation

Christ derives from the Greek word χριστός (chrīstós), meaning "anointed one". The word is derived from the Greek verb χρίω (chrī́ō), meaning "to anoint."[sup][14][/sup] In the Greek Septuagint, χριστός was a semantic loan used to translate the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ, messiah), meaning "[one who is] anointed".[sup][15][/sup]

Right. And I try to have I've tried to have like four or five academics come on the show to like refute him, but they won't
2:00:42
come on with him. They all refuse to debate him except for one guy. Interesting. Yeah. Why? Cuz he's saying Christ is a drug.
2:00:49
Oh, I saw that video. Oh, you saw the whole thing. No, I saw that video pop up my YouTube. I'm like, Danny Jones going crazy like
2:00:55
what is he doing? Christ is a drug. What? So, but that's also what John Marco Allegro
2:01:01
alleges kind of kind of. Well, he said that the ancient Sumerian word for uh a mushroom
2:01:07
it no for Christ is a mushroom that's covered in God's semen. Yeah. Cuz the mushrooms would come out of the
2:01:13
ground and they thought the rain was God coming on the earth and that's where you know that's what gave life to the earth
2:01:19
and then they would take these mushrooms and see God.

Everything for the Sumerians was semen, they are demon worshippers. You are retreated. Fertilization, wombs, blood semen, mitosis, being born. Birth, death, life love, all the things in-between. It's shouldn't surprise you that sex is used in esoteric language. It's a well but you actually have to look at these things and study and practice something instead of firing shots from the sideline

Praying, yoga, it's all good drugs, spirituality just in general, everyone is addicted. Drugs and sex are powerful in magic, but it's your choice

Now you're gettin' it!

You need to change course

There will be dragons soon

....

Are you certain "soon" is not already "now?"
I mean... if we expect the dragon, and do nothing...

I'm not even sure how to end that sentence.

Should we expect it will not affect us?

Dragon's make me anticipate an awesome struggle...
... and not in the exciting way.

What if the personal and the collective unconscious needs to be healed first in order for there to be any global transformation?  Don't we all want a global transformation of some sort?  Whether it be considered good, evil or in the middle somehow...

Meditation, psychedelics, whatever helps you with your thoughts and overall psyche.  Usually on the weekends that's beer and marijuana and music.  But I do have 8 dried grams of magic mushrooms waiting for me in my medicine cabinet.  I am waiting for what feels like the best time to do them, in regards to psychological set and setting. 

I think it would be better if there were more shamanic settings for doing this sort of thing.  Not a psych ward where you are medicated, but a shamanic healing center where you can go into group psychedelic journeys, or one on one with a shaman/shrink/psychiatrist/therapist.

Cut the beer, defo the vodka, cut the fags, ditch the marijuoana, all those chems, and that includes pschodelics, it's just confusing the head. let the terms experiment with them, these are for one's youth. Go clean and experience life in its purity. Reality is actually available if you can live in it, which I must admit is a challenge, a trip in itself

[greymagick]

I think it was Rene Descartes who theorized that the pineal gland in the brain was "the seat of the soul".  The findings of Dr. Rick Strassman with DMT, back in the early 2000s, also revealed that stimulation or activation of the pineal gland, could secrete natural DMT.  I am not sure he proved this 100%, but that was part of his theory.

The compounds in magic mushrooms are very similar to DMT.  And ayahuasca and other psychedelics are also DMT-based.  If the human pineal gland naturally produces DMT, and that is responsible for deep REM sleep states, and psychedelic trips, then it seems obvious that we should all be able to access these states in better and more controlled environments, and more frequently.

Since meditation also activates the pineal gland, and possibly DMT synthesis, then that would be the natural method, that could negate the use of psychedelic drugs.

Psychedelics are not required, but they are fun. I've only ever had good times with them, and they've even enriched my life in permanent ways. For one, LSD made me appreciate classical music.

They call it tripping for a reason. It's like taking a mini vacation. Vacations aren't required either, but they are fun.

Hmm.

Sounds like a great time. You're overthinking it. If you're mentally healthy and don't go crazy on the dosage, you'll be fine.
