ChinaCat, Its getting sickening 1

Is there any real family touring with the dead, or did they just turn the keys over to a bunch of kiddies who are driven by greed and have a "holier than thou" air to them. Maybe I just have not had the pleasure of meeting any of them, but the ones I did meet left a bad taste and really give me doubts about the future of any type of movement (which for the life of me I would love to see happen again). Reading the posts and from what I seen first hand it really breaks my heart. $10 for a dose, come on. If thats the family working than it has become very disfunctional. I did not think it was like that, I understand supply and demand but honestly I dont feel that should be a consideration. Perhaps I am just old fashioned but I feel that it should be a mission not a business venture. Sorry about the rant, it just upsets me.. I do understand about the "getting busted" factor but this all just seems to go beyond that.

ive noticed the same thing really. Most people didnt want to have anything to do with you unless you had something they wanted....mostly money. But there were good people there. It was my frist time but after a while i got the hang of how everything works and stuff and you could tell who was cool and who wasent. I payed $10 a dose for 4 just to make sure that i would have some. But i later found a guy that gave me 8 for $40 and he dropped the 8 in the water and so he just gave us 8 more. I got offered a done of AMT for free, and some guy just smoked some pot with me for free and gave me a big ass roach. Most people were weird about there bowls and there pot. A few times i was trying to talk to people and i couldent understand what they were telling me really and stuff and they were just like go trip somewhere else. I felt like everyone was trying to pull a fast one on me or something. But in the end it was all good. There were some good people there. This girl gave me a flower and was talking about just being happy and all this cool stuff...she was really sweet. This other girl was asking me how i foundthe cid and how i knew how everything worked and i told her about chinacat and how he used to tour and lay the cid and she was amazed that i had talked to someone like that and wanted to trade her bowl for a few hits but i declined cause i had no more money and this was the only chance for me getting acid for a while, so she just got up and left. The old people were cool and most of the young people were cool but some were just not the family type.

Somebody needs to set up "mellow zones" in the campgrounds where people are staying; some kind of sound and light blocking material surrounding the space with mood lighting and nice tapestries on the walls.
Draw in the new kids and tell them stories about the way it was and the way it should be (while they are in a more open state of mind). I think the vision has been lost because there has been no handing down of the legacy of the movement.
Somebody needs to go out and start preaching.

man tahts a good idea....i was so out of this world i didnt know how to react to anything or where i was or anything.....i was looking for some cool people to just sit and talk to about the dead and how it is on tour and how thing swere and should be and stuff like that. I ended up getting seperated from my friend and totally lost and when i found the car i jsut sat there on a blanket...looking around and observing. Its amazing the thing you learn just observing. Just from listening to peoples convorsations i knew everything that was going on...very cool

I'm just curious, but why do people expect LSD manufactures / dealers to treat the substance like some kind of sacrament?

I don't get it. LSD was made by a big pharmaceutical company, so therefore it is evil beyond Satan.

Enlightened? More like delusional.
You have it all backwards. People ridicule Christians but idealize anyone who shows a hint of Eastern mysticism.

Well, if someone's only interest in psychedelics is getting fucked up, then they should be charged as much as fucking possible. If it is mind expansion / self exploration then it should be free.

I've been following your posts recently and I think you have brought up several good points. Although I don't think you should totally discredit the usefulness of entheogens as a tool of inner exploration, I, too, have witnessed an immense flood of people claiming to be on the path to Samadhi through only the use of psychedelic drugs, meanwhile criticizing other belief systems because Christianity isn't "hip" anymore.
I believe that drugs are one of life's many stepping stones. However, disregarding "mind expansion" and "enlightenment" as pretentious euphemisms seems a bit pretentious in itself because you are putting yourself in a position to determine the "worthiness" of someone else's experience. You undermine the importance of a word by saying that it has become cliche in that it has been popularized by psychedelic idealists. However, enlightenment, in my own opinion, is a subjective experience and the word is simply a way to communicate this experience.
The reason for enlightenment lacking a solid, objective definition could very well be because, as you say, "Resisting a definition is merely a strategy used to keep the concept seeming ineffable. If the concept seems ineffable, then it has a symbollic status of being divine." But isn't it also possible that there is another explanation for this experience being ineffable? I realize that you are probably just making a point, but I think that you put too much certainty in your words (which also may have been planned, considering the zealous nature of some of the Enlightenment Crusaders).
Who knows? I do enjoy a good mindfuck though.
