the perception of reality is variable,
as is sanity.

my insanity is actaully tamer than the sanity's
that i've explored,

sometimes the body is sober and the dream is wiley,
sometimes the dream is sedentary and the body
needs a mind-shot.

everything and always is psychedelic,
no matter how you tilt,
we are arrows piercing planes,
sometimes my head is the smart end
and my feet, feathers;
other times my feet fly first and
my head issues chem trails across
government desks.

From WBraun, that smoking' duck, he has some insight, but is He experienced?

speaking about Yabo. . .

One summer he did the LSD free soloing trip every other night or so for a month or so.
He dropped the acid in the late evening.
Then disappeared to free solo something from midnight on.
Every morning I had to look for him to see if he's still alive.
Some mornings I could not find him.
I figured he's toast and will have to get the body bag and everyone will be sad.
Buuuuttttt he always appeared at some time later, his hair all over the place and his face had the look of a psycho .........

then yo ~I'm from on the bus . . .

mary always seemed clingy to me and so was mostly someone i hung out with because she was already hanging out with my friends.

sid was too much of a destination-free adventurer for me and so he and i only met up a couple of times.

silo didn't seem to care whether i lived or died but showed me things about myself that had mostly been hidden.

aya has to this point been an ally and one of the most powerful healing energies i've encountered on this earth.



that we don't openly study the healing properties of psychedelic plants and chemicals is as insane as if we took aspirin, ibuprofen, morphine, and etc and locked them away in a vault, leaving the afflicted to self-experiment and only the street dealers to clandestinely distribute...

sure psychedelics can be abused... but people overdose on water, sugar can be powerfully addictive and rock climbing can kill you.

one day future generations will look back at our willful ignorance, our imprisoning of experimenters and above all our failure to take advantage of the healing benefits and say things like:

it's so amazing how advanced they were in some ways, sending probes past the solar system or compensating for relativity in their satellite based gps devices, while at the same time in other ways they were as backwards and mistaken as their bloodletting and beak hood wearing foreparents...

It's a double-edged sword, this particular mind-tweak.

i thought lsd was interesting till i got into dmt. after that it felt a bit of a waste of time, too many hours of peripheral junk for little quality experience.

dmt cuts to the chase, the meaningful stuff and is intense enough to keep it from being habitual. easy to work with too, no random dosing, all about the number of tokes. for every full experience with the entities i do maybe 10 sub-threshold flights into the 'entry phase', just to try and work it out.

its good stuff, with useful insights into the way consciousness carries on even if we shut out senses and perception off. theres things going on we have little idea of and no other way to see them.

its not for everyone for sure. but those who dont go there shouldnt be the ones to enforce any rules about it.

does it make anyone smarter? depends how you define 'smart'. if that means being responsible enough to follow a healthy curiosity towards brave conclusions despite the intrusions of corrupted morals, then yes. tho i think you need that before going into these things.

i dont think the same for all psychoactives. dope, xtc, mescaline etc have their place, but only distantly connected to dmt. shrooms are somewhere close to dmt but not as profound.

My first time trying shroom's I was with my older brother and a friend of mine out in the woods, by a lake.

After about half an hour of yammering away I said I still did not feel any thing. He said "Just be quiet for a minute"

The clouds started to move back and forth across each other and I actually had that moment where I said.. "Now I see..."

Very stereotypical.

On my twenty sixth birthday , I had a party at my little house in the woods. We had a keg and about 40 people were there , most all had known each other for some time, half of us were dosing. It was a great party to say the least. At seven am we were still up watching the sun rise.

I had got a 3 ft by 2 ft poster board and a bunch of colored marking pens.
The next morning it was completely filled in with drawings and colors like a grateful dead poster.

Wish I still had it.

One girl who was there told her friend later, "what a great party"
Her friend then informed what was going on. She did not know half of us were tripping.

I few months later I had another party and tried the poster board again, no dosing. Hardly any one drew any thing.

Then there was that time driving 3 1/2 hours to Yosemite at night, when I just knew that every headlight behind me was a cop,, but that's another story.

I guess I never was that spiritual about it. It was just fun.

Seeing the colors dancing around the sunset or the mountain across the valley shifting back and forth. The times out in the woods or the desert with a few good friends were always the best.

salvia is not kind or friendly.

Ohh man screw that stuff, picked up some 40% at a smartshop- never again.

I love a Psylocybin trip once and awhile. I think I have learned some things about myself on them.

I order some of the "Magic Truffels" twice a year and it`s always an awesome trip but more than 2 or 3 times a year would be too much for me.
