Thread: In honor of Easter I will eat Magic Mushrooms

Well...good luck with that.

Good plan

And I shall only be a week behind you.

we should hang out sometime, dannon.

I only wish I could have the same plans .

Man, we should all do them together tomorrow or on the next full moon! I'd love to hang out with fellow dreamers in waking life without computers and shroom!

Yes. Not necessarily the shroom bit (although I'm there too), but hang out with dreamers without computers. I'm so lonely, I don't know any dreamers irl.

Same here

You know... the WEIRD thing about that is...

EVERYBODY is a dreamer! And yet most people don't acknowledge it and refuse to talk about their dreams, or act like you're weird if you do. ANY of us should be able to talk to ANYBODY about dreams. But unfortunately only a few of us are unafraid of them and actually WANT to think about them/ talk about them.

I blame Freud.

Sure, he was brilliant, and single-handedly invented psychology and made innumerable discoveries ... essentially he brought awareness of the inner world back to western civilization, which had long forgotten it or repressed it. Truly amazing, especially when you consider his situation... a respected scientist in ultra-repressed Victorian era Vienna!! Amazing that he was able to delve in as fearlessly as he did, at risk of his reputation and career!

Unfortunately and I suspect mostly BECAUSE od the distorting influence of that deeply ingrained sexual repression, his vision of the inner world was overly sexualized and dark. Everywhere he looked he saw infantile sexuality and aggression. Sure, it's there, but not as prevalent as he thought. And unfortunately everybody believed him, even though most of the darker elements of his work have been debunked.

If only more people knew what WE know about that inner world!! Then they wouldn't be so afraid to even think about it, and I believe the world would be a much better place!!

Looking at people and knowing they have dreams just as weird and powerful as yours but that they refuse to acknowledge them or talk about them... it reminds me of a thought I used to have as I walked the streets of my darkened town dreaming up stories for animated films that I make in my basement. I'd see all these identical boxy houses, many with blue TV light flickering in the living room or bedroom windows even at 4am - and I'd wonder if in any of those houses anybody has created a world of imagination similar to my animation sets in the basement.. if any of those people think far-flung imaginative thoughts like I do?

Unfortunately, the answer is most likely no, or at least very few of them. Most probably live dreary work-a-day lives and console themselves with beer and reality TV and don't dare to dream.

There was one house that peaked my interest... occasionally I'd see an old man typing on a screened-in porch. I wondered what he could be writing day after day? Maybe science fiction stories to be published in Analog or Fantasy/ Science Fiction magazine? The next Great American Novel? No - more likely something completely mundane and boring. Maybe a newsletter for his Senior Club or something. I never did knock and introduce myself... wouldn't know what to say. But I still wonder if any of those houses might hold undreamt-of wonders like mine does?

Same. I tried to get a few friends into it but they just weren't interested. My cousin seemed more receptive, but never really got too into it...though he told me about realizing he was dreaming on occasion, sometimes almost weekly. I should talk to him again about it, he's into meditation and al that so why not LD? He does smoke pot quite frequently though, so I'm not sure how he is on the recall front .

I would attribute the annihilation of dreaming cultures to patriarchal or monotheistic religions & all those who propagate the "guilt/dependence I have the franchise on god/spirituality loop" doctrines.

I wish I still new people to get psychedelic mushrooms from! I am going to bonaroo so when I get there I will partake in the communion of the flesh of the gods

...I want shroomz.

Grow some!

(I mean, the legal variety, of course)

we could meet in england and go foraging for some in the countryside, right?

I think that they grow wild in Mexico, the kind I like anyway, but they are also cultivated.

The myth of Jesus, is the story of Christ consciousness unfolding in humanity. Christ consciousness is the consciousness of Absolute Reality or absolute Truth. The absolute truth is that all that exists is spirit and Jesus demonstrated this truth very eloquently with his life and death and resurrection.

Life is an unstoppable force as it is the impulse of consciousness to arise out of matter. Matter came from consciousness and returns to the field of universal consciousness. In a sense you could say that matter is a dream, this universe is a dream. Every mind is a universe. Christ consciousness is the lucid awareness of this truth.

Christ said "All these things I do you can do." Because life and death are just dreams. Matter is the dream that there exists an outer material that does not respond to mind. Jesus revealed the truth that matter is an illusion, as well as life and death. Jesus demonstrated Christ consciousness so that all could understand. Unfortunately most do not understand and misinterpret him. He did not die for our sins. He never lived or died.

The mushroom is Christ also. It also demonstrates this truth, that Christ consciousness rises also out of shit. That even shit is spiritual. Even shit is holy. Shit happens.

I am not making much sense so I will come back to this later.

holy shit.
well, it doesn't grow out of shit, but fertilizer and dirt sort of look like shit
<3 cannabis <3

It grows out of cow shit! I've grown them before. I am talking about psychedelic mushrooms. You can also grow them out of rice or rye flour or straw but in their natural environment they grow out of shit from grazing animals (Psiloyben Cubensis). Hence the expressions Holy Shit! and Holy Cow!

which reminds me of the buddha talking about how a lifetime is illusory in a sense... cool, man - i once knew a guy from a hindu family who looked at shrooms the same way you've described

That is one reason the cow is holy. She gives milk, meat, butter, and mushrooms.

and another reason why mcdonald's is the antichrist

No, they literally grow naturally out of cow patties in fields. Directly out of piles of shit.

"I think that's why you giggle the first hour, you're like 'dude this grew on cow turds! Heaven is in a cow's butt! Ahahaha!' 'I know where heaven is.' 'where?' 'in a cow's ass hahaha!'"

Jesus said that heaven is inside YOU also!
