‘Have you guessed the riddle yet?′ the Hatter said, turning to Alice again.
‘No, I give it up,′ Alice replied: `what’s the answer?′
‘I haven’t the slightest idea,′ said the Hatter.”
I’ll leave this one for you to think about…Enjoy!!
Here are more Zen stories to contemplate, with or without a psychedelic drug.
“The game is not about becoming somebody, it’s about becoming nobody.” — Ram Dass
What does it mean to be no one?
It means letting go of your ego; letting go of who you think you are, to find out who you actually are, which is beyond identification, beyond words, beyond achievements and failures, beyond trying to be “someone” and enjoying being no one.
It really is a joy.
& now that I’ve become someone globally known, globally famous, one of my tasks is to become no one again.
Maybe one day you and I can meet in a place beyond the ego; beyond ego games, ego dramas, ego identifications, and we can just be, and enjoy life in the time we have together.

“Don’t wait. The time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.” — Napoleon Hill
Something my psilocybin experiences taught me was to dream, and then take action toward my dreams…
I encourage the same for you.
What is a dream you have?
A goal?
An idea?
Believe it is possible, because it truly is, and then begin taking action toward your dream ASAP!!
Tomorrow isn’t promised…
“The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.”— James Allen
Will psilocybin mushrooms bring your tranquility?
Maybe, but they can also bring you the opposite of tranquility, momentarily, and when you make it out of the storm alive, you will be wiser than before and more calm than before…
A wise person once said “smooth waters never made for skilled sailors…”
Zen stories are great for contemplation.
They are an enigma as they both increase the mystery, and bring clarity.
“The man who has forgotten self may be said to have entered Heaven.”
― Zhuangzi
Something I experienced with the aid of psilocybin mushrooms was a complete ego loss — literally a complete transcendence of myself & an experience of everything outside of myself, but it all felt like me. I was one with everything.
This self that I experienced beyond my ego is, I believe, the divine self, which is who we all truly are. It is an experience beyond form, beyond identification with skin color, gender, & all physical features.
It is an experience of the Soul.
Meditation is a good practice to begin before considering the psychedelic experience.
Here is a great concise & to the point psychedelic meditation guide:
“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”
― Lao Tzu
Because what the psilocybin experience has shown me is that, I’m already there.
We are all exactly where we are meant to be in this moment. We are already here, always.
The answers anyone seeks in life are always found in the present moment, but the present moment is what people have lost connection with.
Most people are living in the past or future, which in reality, literally do not exist.
The past does have some impact on the future, but when you realize this, you realize the power of the present moment which is directing your life.
Psilocybin, meditations, & zen stories are helpful resources to connect you with the present moment.
“Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
mastering yourself is true power.”
― Lao Tzu
How many people truly know themselves?
Many people think they know themselves, until they find out they don’t know…
If you really want to learn about yourself, 3-7 grams of psilocybin mushrooms will get you closer to knowing yourself.
Here are some Zen Stories that may also guide you.
“What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean.”
—Isaac Newton
Psilocybin guides me into this realization – that what each of us knows, even if it’s the most knowledgeable person, is a drop of knowledge in a limitless vast ocean of undiscovered knowledge.
And this realization is far from depressing – it’s ecstatically exciting knowing, as Einstein said: “We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.”
Psilocybin mushrooms as well as other good psychedelics & drugs can & should be utilized to access portals of alien knowledge.
Psychedelics combined with meditation practices are a great starting place.
The 7 Psychedelic Meditations can help you begin.
“My technique is don’t believe anything. If you believe in something, you are automatically precluded from believing its opposite.”
—Terence McKenna
This technique Terence speaks of is Zen-like.
It remains open to all things.
& in being open to all things, all things are opened to them
