  1. I'd say it's that day then and not the night, but what a fun question...

    Wow Spotless... that is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
  3. gratitude for psilocybin experiences

    *deep bow*
  4. gratitude for psilocybin experiences

    Definitely. Though the particular portion of the second experience I wrote about wasn't particularly easy or pleasant while we were talking about it, it was overall extremely positive and so were my other experiences. Incidentally we almost always work with it in groups and outside in nature. edit: spelling
  5. I want to grow magic mushrooms

    comment moved, figured it would be better off in its own topic http://thetaobums.com/topic/34813-gratitude-for-psilocybin-experiences/
  6. Time dilation during periods of intense energy work?

    I don't feel I could put any reason to it. The experiences of that time lie outside my left brain's ability to categorize. However, in recall, the feelings generated are palpable and clear and I'm grateful for you posting this question. I'll be sitting with this sense and allowing it to wash over my current practice.
  7. What are you reading right now?

    I'm going into fluffy land for a bit and reading a gaming module for an rpg system. Good stuff...
  8. Time dilation during periods of intense energy work?

    I've encountered this rather regularly throughout my life. It was most intense in my late 20's early 30's.
  9. Dark Chocolate

    Dark Chocolate and a glass of whiskey on the rocks...
  10. Orgone energy/pyramids

    I'm on the edge of getting into making these myself, just need to create a space for it.
  11. Unlocking a car with your brain

    Oy there is truth in that... I have AAA for just those occasions and now don't have to bother mrs thunder who in those times is not at all silent lol
  12. Unlocking a car with your brain

    hmm... this makes me think about the power of waterbeds...
  13. I want to grow magic mushrooms

    psilocybin mushrooms on two occasions allowed me to realize and release decades of pent up useless behaviors...
  14. Relying On No-one But Yourself

    We can survive weeks without food, days without water, minutes without breath. The quickest, most direct method I know to affect consciousness is via the breath.
  15. The most dangerous books are the ones you allow to think for you...
  16. Lawn Bowls

    My dad's first job was a manual pin setter in an alley in Sisseton South Dakota...

  18. The qualities of a true leader "princess"

    Someone who inspires others by the quality of their actions, intentions and thoughts.
  19. What are you reading right now?

    The Once and Future King...
  20. My Bitch Satan (NNSFW [Not Necessarily Safe For Work])

    I've never found any victory in fighting 'the satan: one who opposes' with conflict. The victory I found in this was in steeping myself in love and the conflict melts away. Without opposition, there is no loss possible.
  21. How many people practice Taoism to gain supernatural powers?

    I've transformed my desire for vengeance into a love of healing. My gratitude for my life, including all its trials, challenges and suffering has expanded exponentially. Fear contracts. Love expands.
  22. How does one 'choose' a religion, spiritual path, etc?

    I didn't choose my path. It grew naturally, yet not always contentedly. I liken it to the realization that I never had a moment where I chose to be attracted to women. For me, these things grow, they are not chosen.
  23. Very useful sharing Spotless. What you say and how you say it, resonates... My thanks.
  24. "unity in diversity" ?

    My body is a unity of billions of individuals. Hundreds of thousands of colonies. Millions of tribes. My thoughts are myriad and yet. I am as continuous with the universe, as a wave is continuous with the ocean. who is i?
  25. Philosophical Taoism

    Do not say you have found 'the' Truth... Rather say you have found a truth...
