  1. Interesting. The color photo even shows the red dot in the green half and the green dot in the red half.
  2. People react to Ayahuasca very differently. Many people vomit and it acts as a purgative. Not everyone has visuals. It is more physical than mushrooms. When I was in the Amazon, I took Black Ayahuasca, which is like a super ayahuasca, and I was freezing cold even though I was in the jungle. The guy next to me said he felt someone punch him in the face. I have intense visions and stories. But it keeps me in my mind going into the unconscious. It doesn’t take me out of the mind. Only Bufo Alvarius does that.
  3. Mohammad was primarily a political leader and a judge. He was able to resolve disputes between tribes in a way that was seen as just and fair. It’s not hard to see the problem. In order for a culture of warring tribes to unite, it is necessary to have a trustworthy legal system outside of the tribe in which everyone has confidence. This is not an easy thing to pull off. Islam provided the superstructure so that the tribes could unite and direct their aggressive energy to conquering new territory. It worked.
  4. This is an interesting interview with RFK, Jr. when he was younger. You can here what he sounded like before he lost his voice.
  5. Coursera has several free courses on global warming, for those who want to learn the science. https://www.coursera.org/learn/global-warming
  6. Because of the nature of the problem, it makes it extremely difficult to find a solution. The biggest barrier is the political structure. In order to solve global warming, it requires cooperation of every country on the planet. For example, if a developed country cuts carbon emissions, that can be negated by Brazil cutting down the rain forests. But world cooperation is getting even more difficult. The neocons is the US promoting what is going to be a decades long war in Ukraine and making Russia and China enemies doesn’t help. Then there is the fact that once things get too serious to ignore, it is already too late to do anything about it. Then there is the unknown but real chance of a positive feedback loop changing the earth’s climate to that of Venus.
  7. My strong suspicion is that it is ego most of the time. However, the Sufi mystic Al-Hallaj was executed for saying “I am the truth”.
  8. One of the problems with climate change is that the scientific models can’t predict with any accuracy what is going to happen. This is because of the positive feedback loops that can occur in the environment. So once we have the concrete evidence it is too late to do anything and we are doomed. This suggests a cautionary policy.
  9. Doesn't this same logic apply to the Covid hysteria? https://www.who.int/data/stories/the-true-death-toll-of-covid-19-estimating-global-excess-mortality
  10. It's just words that appeal to the rational mind and provides some motivation. Words can only go so far. At some point one has to practice a yoga and do the work.
  11. The truth is going to come out. It's just a matter of when. RFK talks about the assasination starting at about 45. https://rumble.com/v37nvxo-rfk-jr.-explains-ukraine-bio-labs-and-who-killed-his-uncle-tucker-carlson-o.html
  12. None of this is evidence presented in a court of law. It is all social media chit chat and worthless as evidence. Since they have accumulated an enormous file on the Tates, why aren't they being tried? (ok, they apparently have been charged, which are allegations to be proven). Even in Romania there is the right to a speedy trial. (Article 24 of the Romanian Constitution, "Justice shall be administered promptly"). I will remain neutral until there is actually a trial and we see the evidence.
  13. I use to assume that Tate was guilty but at this point I am beginning to become more skeptical. They have gone through all his personal stuff, including computers and phones, accumulating a vast amount of information. Why haven’t they charged him with a crime? So far all we have is rumors reported in the media and social chatter on the Internet, which is worthless. Maybe he has a point – some higher up in the government made a phone call and fingered him. I will now remain neutral and wait and see.
  14. If your psychotherapist does real psychotherapy and not the usual worthless shrink chitchat I would stick with her. Trying to force a traumatized mind with drugs doesn’t lead to a good outcome. The process needs to unfold organically on its own time schedule. I now prefer to practice an authentic yoga while sober. You are confronting forces that are really spiritual, much more than psychological. You could go psychotic on 5-meo and end up in a hospital. I am speaking as someone who has taken strong doses of Bufo Alvarius many times over four years.
  15. The other alternative is to just dump it and go back to our “pagan” roots. The people who want to reform christianity still have an emotional attachment and don’t want to let it go. If you don’t have that attachment, there are better alternatives.
  16. It’s easier said then done. The Unitarians eliminated the mythology to the extent that the only thing they believe in is social justice and most of the members are old. The dogma does have a power to it if it is believed.
  17. If Kennedy isn't elected, you aren't going to have much of a future. Because he is the only politician that has publicly stated he will kick the neocons out of power and stop the perpetual wars. They are already planning a war in Africa. Start following the news on Niger. Victoria Nuland who was the architect of the Iraq war under Bush is now working for Biden and threatening countries in Africa. She is a true war monger. Repubican or Democrat, it makes no difference. The same people remain in power. Kennedy wants to break above the phony Republican-Democrat Party con that keeps the American voter on the hamster wheel. He is the only one who wants to work for the American people. When JFK was president it was called camelot and the country was in a high state of optimism. America's influence was at its peak. RFK, Jr believes that JFK was taken out by the CIA, and as president he will release the files so we can all see what happened.
  18. That's why it makes sense to take it in two separate doses. Take a portion and then wait to see what happens. Then trust your intuition to take the second portion.
  19. Start with 2 grams. Then wait for 90 minutes. Then based on your intuition at that time take nothing more, a half serving (1 gram) or a full (2 grams). If you take the full, that is a total of 4 grams.
  20. Science has nothing to do with religion. Science doesn’t speculate or have a metaphysics. What you are objecting to is “Scientism” , which is a speculative philosophy that claims support from science but is actually in the realm of speculation and thus not superior to the imaginations of all the other religions.
  21. Psychedelics are being over hyped and the hype is only going to get bigger now that the capitalists are having multicolored shamanic visions of dollar signs.
  22. I did a strong Brazilian chocolate rapé during a mushroom ceremony and it put me on a journey similar to 5-meo.
  23. There are a lot of people trying to turn Christianity into something it isn’t because they have an emotional attachment they don’t want to let go. Even the Unitarians, who are the most liberal Christian group, still maintain the traditional format of the protestant Sunday service because that is what they grew up with. Inventing a non dual Christianity is like being careful to buy pure food and then sprinkling it with insects. If you aren’t emotionally attached, it’s better to just drop it 100 percent.
