  1. The topic at hand has everything to do with psychedelics as an aid to cultivation which has everything to do with religion/spiritually. You have dissed researchers that advocate psilocybin, peyote, dmt, LSD, etc. when the topic is specific regarding the use of entheogens as a key that unlocks energetic gateways or other dimensions. NDE, out of the body experiences, dream travel are not some function of chemical emotional reactions, but the quest to experience beyond our minuscule existence. Some may be triggered by emotions, others by the intellect, and others by being with an enlightened teacher where just a glance is enough to awaken the vastness of timeless space that is a permanent change in one's life experience. Emotion is nothing more than a reaction to awakening and not primary in the least. Are you experienced in entheogens as cultivation gateways? If not then the experience that human existence is made of light frequencies alludes you. As a personal example there are many experiences that are profound and go beyond simple human emotion. When I was out in Las Vegas a few years ago, I bought an extract called OG Ghost Train Haze, 900 mg of THC with important terpenes that were left in the extract. To make a long story short I took far too much and the 8 hour experience was one of the crown chakra opening whereby I experienced the vast dimension of timeless space. Was it an emotional machine response? Hell no! It was beyond my minuscule existence as a human. Electro magnetic? Frequencies higher than? What about full blown non dual light as an experience? Physical transparency from very specific visual practices? Entheogens can assist in unlocking gateways. Even kundalini yoga has inherent risks. Life experience is a risk. Stay on topic, please. BTW, my experience with Peyote was all the way through that gateway, which left me with a deep understanding as to why American tribal cultures have utilized it for thousands of years.
  2. All humans process through emotions? I disagree with reductionist generalized statements in which complex evolutiontionary processes are not considered, which is a complex subject and far beyond the scope of this thread. Further, one persons so called realization some 2500 years ago in which life was reduced to a few points such as all life is suffering due to emotional poisons, ego attachment etc. doesn't necessarily apply. This is the problem with religions that reduce life to a few simplistic suppositions. A few simplistic postulates traps one seeking answers to life problems.
  3. Not everyone suffers as Buddhists so claim. I really tire of absolute sweeping generalizations!
  4. What are you listening to?

    You're welcome! That was fast.
  5. What are you listening to?

    Thanks! Are you in the US? They are touring here in most major cities-2022. https://loudwire.com/heilung-tour-north-america-2022/
  6. What are you listening to?

    ‘When I first saw them I couldn’t figure out why she had reindeer antlers on. Female reindeer grow antlers to protect the young. Hopefully this may be the a return of real shamanic medicine as opposed to all the fake New Age BS.
  7. What are you listening to?

    Indeed they are. YouTube has much more of their videos. Maria Franz is amazing!
  8. Like I said earlier there are many gateways-many are not desirable.
  9. What are you listening to?

    A group from Norway that fascinates me. Love what they are doing in the performance of ancient rituals. I did a little reading on how they put this together and they are close to authentic. Missed their show up in Red Rock Colorado last year due to Covid and pricey tickets.
  10. Warming up today. Looks like an early spring.
  11. New Mexico had just another peyote sunset here. Almost guaranteed on a daily basis.
  12. Over on the r/Psychonaut sub Reddit there are some crazy people taking massive does of mushrooms, LSD etc. Over the top such as 3 hits of acid and several grams of mushrooms all at once with a little hash in the mix. The posters could be bullshit assholes, but it may lead to others attempting to ingest heroic doses. There are very few authentic shamans or elders around to seek guidance from, very unfortunate. Independent Libertarian values rule over wisdom these days.
  13. There are some entheogens that are not advisable under any conditions. There are some growing on our street and are common in the desert SW USA.
  14. There are some that never heal once the gateway has opened.
  15. I have seen a few people flip out and lose it while on LSD, mushrooms etc. There are many gateways with no return. Unfortunately, choosing the correct gateway is not always easy.
  16. Entheogens are nothing more than gateways to various possibilities which many naive ones have no comprehension of.
  17. Gerard always knows it all. Entheogens have been used by shamans, cultivators, for thousands of years for positive benefit.
  18. Reddit.com is a very good resource for further reading on this subject. r/Psychonaut sub Reddit.
  19. Terrence McKenna's books would be a good place to start, but given the restricted scheduling by government drug warriors, research is difficult to come by.
  20. The Wim Hof method will release DMT into the receptors in the nervous system without the risk of flipping out on a bad trip. Certain types of meditation can even be more interesting than taking entheogens. There is a little known fact that Buddhist Temple monks used what is referred to as temple balls. Hash for certain and possibly opium, but not certain about opium. Starting at 1:53 are several Afghans smoking hash. These guys would smoke most under the table. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1026737454365803 https://www.edrosenthal.com/the-guru-of-ganja-blog/2018/7/12/the-lost-art-of-temple-balls-a-hashish-master-and-his-student-explore-the-preservation-of-resin From what I understand regarding the chemistry of THC and associated terpenes, once ingested, the liver converts cannabinoids to psilocybin compounds.
  21. Can you really learn to draw?

    Learned by copying the great masters. Rembrandt's drawings really challenged me, but I was nowhere near his mastery! He had an eye and feel that was awesome.
  22. What are you listening to?

    Had a raging visual migraine last night, but this newly discovered music put me in the far space zone. Feel much better today!
  23. In order to astral project one must change the frequency (EM).
  24. Depression

    One of the previous mods here edited/plagiarized one of my posts and when I lodged a complaint nothing was done about it. Appears that will change now.
