what is that like , the over drive thing?
It's like experiencing MONTHS of thoughts,
days of thinking
compressed into just a few hours.
It's so insanely enlightening..


Quote:
how is it a short cut to knowledge and experience?
I have no idea how psychedelic chemicals work in our bodies, All I know is what I observe...
And I observe on over drive! the brain works so insanely faster,
Your unconscious becomes conscious
and you can LEARN just by THINKING.

You can do that always,
Some entheogenic substances just severely intensify this process, though.

sounds like somthing good to me.
There's a balance.
For example,
If you did acid every day of your life for years,
you would severely wear down on your neurons (Like moving your arm severely fast for years straight, the cartilige in your joints are going to be GONE)
As a shaman I can say that these things are marvelous in moderation.
I try to visit the spiritual world every full moon,
or every other.

will meditation work alone?
Find out for yourself

i've tried that and cant stop laughing when i am too sleepy(i dont know what to call it).
Sounds like you're just happy

Thanks orbsycli .
How do these drugs destroy you?
These drugs do not destroy me (I don't touch them),
but they destroy the people who do them because some drugs like heroin are physically addictive, and build up a tolerance.
You'll be doing more and more to get the same high,
and eventually you'll shoot up so much you'll just DIE!
Opiates make you feel good,
but their addictive properties are not very attractive...

I dont understand the, Us humans can interact with our planet by inducing her entheogens, part.
Well,
I, as an animal,
can go out into the forest and identify a certain psychedelic fungi.
This psychedelic fungus is considered an entheogen.

Any sort of plant, animal, fungus, or chemical synthesized in a lab THAT IS PSYCHOACTIVE is considered an entheogen.

and by simply eating that silly little mushroom,
I'm interacting with earth
in one of the weirdest ways possible....

After all,
And I Do mean
AFTER ALL
There will be creatures everywhere in the universe
experiencing what Don Juan liked to call "Nonordinary Reality"

I do not advise you to go "shroom hunting" though,
that was just an example.
You could die if you ate the wrong mushroom!

I just referred to earth as "her"
