Thread: Entheogen: Awakening The Divine Within

I enjoyed reading your post and share your view entirely.
Entheogens are what reconnects us to nature - it might just
be the eye-opener mankind needs to stop themselves from
self-destruction.

I'd like to recommend a couple of podcasts on that matter.

Psychedelic Salon: http://www.matrixmasters.com/podcasts/

Very many interesting talks on the psychedelic realms, many also by
McKenner, Leary or Alex Grey. The Podcast already has 170 episodes, most of them longer than an hour -
so it has a very large portion of information covered and never fails to inspire thoughts.

Shamanic Freedom Radio: http://www.shamanicfreedom.com/our-podcast-35-c.asp

A very friendly Irishman talking about various subjects. It is still a very new Podcasts with 9 episodes,
but already with an Interview and lecture of Rupert Sheldrake (evolutionary scientist). Easy and comfortable to listen to!
He also already interviewed the makers of Zeitgeist:Addendum (world without money) and did a 'critical' episode
on Richard Dawkins. As well as episodes on Peyote, Salvia and just random thoughts on the matter if psychedelics.

These symptoms suggested that our evolution, i
suppose, from the animal kingdom
Into the human kingdom
itself was catalyzed, or triggered by our encounter with
These hallucinogenics, and
Yes,
we are an ape with a symbiotic relationship to a mushroom, and
that has
Given us self reflection, language, religion and
all the spectrum of effects
That flow from
these things.
And one can
only wonder how these hallucinogens might effect our future
Evolution as well...
They
have brought us to this point, and as we make our relationship
to them
Conscious, we may be able to take control of our
future evolutionary path.

Any of you know Terrence McKenna?
He's good in blowing ones mind.

^That picture just broke my mind a little. In the best way possible.


I wish so badly that I didn't have dialup so I could watch this video.

Such truth...

Humans just take and take, without any thought to how this could effect the things that keep us alive...and therefore our own existence simultaenously. This is similar to the way humans are willing to injest just about anything, without a single thought to the consequences it would cause to their bodies.

The Earth and the body--in fact life itself--are temples; temples we are infinitely and miraculously lucky to have been blessed with. And the world is all-too-willing to desecrate and take for granted; intentionally or otherwise.

Perfect examples = embalming, abortion (regardless of your stance on it), drilling/mining/otherwise raping of precious minerals and resources, pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, hazardous waste, urbanization...the list goes on.

What is to be done?
How does one cross the rift caused by disenchantment/disillusion?

To quote System Of A Down..
"Life is a waterfall,
We're one in the river,
And one again after the fall.

Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lost ourselves,
But we find it all?

Cause we are the ones that want to play,
Always want to go,
But you never want to stay,

And we are the ones that want to chose,
Always want to play,
But you never want to lose.

Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.

Life is a waterfall,
We drink from the river,
Then we turn around and put up our walls.
"

One way to cross the rift is to realize the rift or division-based way of looking at reality is a false belief system. From there, one simply shifts the way in which they perceive this eternal moment of which they are interconnected and interdependent parts of the same whole-- holons.

How can one ever be separate from this moment they co-exist and co-create?

No one can tangibly distinguish between "You" or "I" apart from the ideas and assumptions they use to separate one another.

If you are one who believes in causality, then you undeniably believe "we" are both of the same source.

If you believe in an acausal universe like I do, then much like a hologram this reality exists inseparably from anything else, and only seems to exist as separate but in actuality exists more as a projection, tulpa, or thought-form from your "mind".

Even the terms; "mind", "You", or "I", exist simply as a projection from the same sorcerer who projects all sources swirling around you at each given moment.

"Now" is it...

"You" are it...

"This" is it...

"Awake" to it...
