I have no idea who wrote this one. I just saw it on the shroomery once. Gave me a new perspective on duality, if that makes sense to anyone.

I of course know this one.   Truly a powerful statement for those who are students of human nature and history.

"We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world."

The only way I can see someone winning in such a situation is by admitting they are wrong.

To me it represents how small and insignificant each individuals life is. No matter how important me or someone else thinks we are, the fact that our lives are short and unimportant in the whole of the space-time continuum doesn't change. If life on earth lives in a positive or negative utopia might be important to people, but no matter which one we live in we are still only a very very... very small part of the universe. If we become extinct the universe will keep on keeping on. IMO forever.

"The dinosaurs became extinct and so can we" or something like that.

I'm in big trouble dood.

Here's a rather strange one that stirs something peculiar and rather eerie within me.

Oh, grassy glades! oh, ever vernal endless landscapes in the soul; in ye, — though long parched by the dead drought of the earthy life, — in ye, men yet may roll, like young horses in new morning clover; and for some few fleeting moments, feel the cool dew of the life immortal on them. Would to God these blessed calms would last. But the mingled, mingling threads of life are woven by warp and woof: calms crossed by storms, a storm for every calm. There is no steady unretracing progress in this life; we do not advance through fixed gradations, and at the last one pause: — through infancy’s unconscious spell, boyhood’s thoughtless faith, adolescence’ doubt (the common doom), then scepticism, then disbelief, resting at last in manhood’s pondering repose of If. But once gone through, we trace the round again; and are infants, boys, and men, and Ifs eternally. Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more? In what rapt ether sails the world, of which the weariest will never weary? Where is the foundling’s father hidden? Our souls are like those orphans whose unwedded mothers die in bearing them: the secret of our paternity lies in their grave, and we must there to learn it.

As true for religions as it is about the sequence of moments that make up my own life. Is it really almost a decade ago I registered at the Shroomery as a lost 16-year-old looking for some truth in his shitty world?  Goddamnit. I'm still looking, not that much closer but honestly a hell of a lot more comfortable with the chase This is a beautiful place, I need to start coming back here

---

Yea. I first came here somewhere around that age too. I was mostly a lurker and my rare posts were just to try and be part of the Shroomery and pretty stupid if you ask me . Don't know how much smarter they are now, but I'm guessing it couldn't be worse than back then .

This place was as big of a mind fuck as mushrooms were. I was actually skeptic and thought that this place was run by the government for a while. A Big Brotherish paranoia . I even got so paranoid that I started deleting all of my posts in my previous account. Like you I also believe I'm much less troubled and comfortable than I was back then. The Shroomery among other things has a lot to do with this IMO. That is what it's all about right? people trying to steer others towards the light (of course I'm right ). With the exception of trolls of course.

Anyway. I'm not leaving this place until I die.
