turbo Posted October 14, 2005 Here is something I stumbled across, I havent read all of it, but what I have read seems well reseached. Interesting to think about. Anyone have legitimate ethogenic (as opposed to recreational) experiences to share? http://www.earthrites.org/magazine.htm Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although it was not my path to use mind expanding hallucinagens, I do know others for whom it was and we have come to the same place It took me awhile to be able to understand how this could be because at first is was against what I thought to be a valid path. Further research into Shamanism made it clearer. There are many paths but more importantly is finding ones own way, whatever that may be. Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rex Posted October 15, 2005 No experiences to share but came across rasayna and chudlen pills recently. Essence-extract (bcud len, Skt. rasayana). A practice which sustains the living body with the essences of medicinal plants, minerals, and elemental energy in order to purify the body, heighten concentration and avoid the diversions of seeking ordinary material food. Taken from here.This practice is taught by Namkai Norbu and his Dzogchen Community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandTrinity Posted October 17, 2005 my friend once said to me that the problem with drugs is you get so high that the rest of your life is like not living up to that experience... ...obviously he wasnt a taoist shaman... ...www.pharmacratic-inquisition.com one day he'll see... taoism is about transcending that duality (yin/yang) and then going for yuan... for a lot of time i was obsesswed with duality then i was obsessed with yin within yang then i was obsessed with yang now i see it the primordial yuan chi thats keeps us rising primordial and yuan are the same, right?

sean Posted October 17, 2005 Yuan Ch'i is a really fascinating concept that I've been giving a lot attention to in my research lately.

GrandTrinity Posted October 17, 2005 No, that is purely on topic! Yuan chi is Jesus! Now, wait until you get a load of this! Jesus meants "the anointed one" so what was he anointed with? He was baptized in a solution with 6 lbs of Kaneh Bosm, the hebrew word for none other than Cannabis. http://pot.tv/archive/shows/pottvshowse-3775.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
