 Would like some feedback on TheSelf.net

Not sure where else to put this, move it if it's in the wrong spot! 
-------------------------
As it's about psychedelics, and spirituality in general I want to try to keep it alive - but lately it's hard to find things to write about (mainly due to my own lack of involvement in any psychedelics for quite some time).
I think the site could do better - maybe the design, not sure. I'd like to bring more people to it as well - to write, maybe, or build a community on it. I'm just not really sure and don't want to give up on it.
So if you have any feedback, I'd really appreciate it. The website is http://theself.net/ - and one of the most popular articles is http://www.theself.net/spirituality/to-become-everything-ego-death-important/
How can I make this website better? I want to make it a place for a spiritual insight into psychedelics - rather than recreational.

It looks like a damn good site, neatly organized, enticing article titles, and loaded with content. Yeah, I guess its hard to attract visitors who use drugs that are not too popular. Out of those users, how many of them care to read psychedelic literature? Out of those who care to read it, how many are spiritual trippers? Out of the spiritual trippers, how many of them can find your site? Apparently a few can because people post comments on the articles.
Anyway, awesome job and I hope you get some recognition because you deserve it.

Don't PM me with bullshit. I don't sell or trade cactus and I don't know where you can get any, other than your mother's ass.

How about inviting/"advertising" for amateur artists inspired by psychedelia not only to have their painting, for instance, exhibited on the site, but also with the accompanying written exposition of its meaning (to the artist) - this would allow for a trip report of sorts, more a philosophical proposition. These works could also be set for sale. Getting folks who often write their understanding to have it posted on the site, not as if in a forum, and setting a platform of maturity/complexity from which discussion would start. For the latter, take as example this site: there's too much of the same and too few that's actually pushing the whole deal forward.

Hey, thanks! I was starting to really want to leave the project but I feel motivation coming again.. People seem to really grab onto the material, even if they do not do psychedelics. I think people are naturally curious about themselves, their consciousness and how they can experience life in a different hue. After all, the day in and day out can get very stressful if one doesn't take a serious break and hallucinogens offer that in a fast, and generally safe manner.
I think I'm going to re-design and do some advertising... Just need to make sure I don't get banned from Google AdWords!

That's a fantastic idea! I'm going to try to direct it to encourage others to contribute, rather than just a "few writers" and this is just an AMAZING idea. Thanks!
