“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.” — Thich Nhat Hanh
Whether you drink normal tea or psychedelic tea, enjoy it.
“Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge.” — Leonardo da Vinci
Politicians shout.
Cops shout.
Fraud philosophers shout.
Fake artists shout.
Insecure men shout.
The message is: Shouting almost never resolves things – unless you’re being attacked or there is an injustice, then shouting – along with protesting, etc, is encouraged.
Other than that it’s usually insecure egos that shout out to defend their egos & offend others’ egos…
here’s the Good News!!! The petty & futile insecure human ego is on its way to the graveyard!!!!
“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.” — Vincent Van Gogh
The Psychedelic Norm is not a paved road; It is a forest, an unpaved trail, a field of flowers, a cave, an ocean, space…It is the unexplored areas within the human mind and heart.
The Psychedelic Norm may be outside your comfort zone, but don’t they say that that’s where the magic happens?
Some of the greatest moments during a psychedelic experience, and this may be a gift from God, is when you momentarily experience the bliss of life beyond words; life like when you were a child – when life was still filled with magic, everywhere.
When you felt safe.
When your days felt like entire lifetimes (in the best of ways)
When you weren’t self conscious of the way you looked, and you didn’t judge others for the way they looked.
“At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, ‘Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’ ” — Matthew 18:1-3
“We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.” — Albert Einstein
And most people go around living life like they “know it all” and have “seen it all” …
Einstein also said: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.”
I don’t have much to add to this.
If you think you “know it all” and you think you’re smart, try ingesting a psychedelic drug like 5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms…
You’ll soon see what I mean…you’ll experience new knowledge yourself. Knowledge you never knew existed before (and that & more has already always existed…)
“I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you…If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to deserve that you should. I will not hide my tastes or aversions…”
“Live no longer to the expectation of these deceived and deceiving people with whom we converse.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you’re a mushroom, be a mushroom.
One of the problems with humanity today is that humans have forgotten how to be human. They have lost connection with their intuition & have become artificial beings – living to fit in with other artificial beings – never experiencing life beyond artifice.
One of the main benefits of a true psychedelic experience is that it’s a very real experience – & whether you have a “good” or “bad” trip, it will be one of the realest experiences you’ll have in your entire life.
After ingesting psychedelics, there’s no going back. You can only go forward.
