I didn’t like the HBO season of the last of us very much.
I think they changed too much of the material from the game for me to enjoy it.
Completely removing the respirators was a terrible decision.

UO

The Shroomery is too averse from the notion of a living God, to be the primary Embassy for Entheogenic Mushrooms in the world.

Either we on the member level, actively embrace the supernatural/spiritual side that is inherent to Entheogens for many people, or we will lose our relevance as the world's premier mushroom site.

"magic mushrooms demystified" has devolved to an aversion to the mystique of the spiritual component of Entheogenic Mushrooms.

We will fail if we dpn't heal that on the member level.
The wound cuts deeper on the staff level.


thats an UO so UO its a Double UOGlobe Brand level UO

I personally had a disagreement with tree frog doing that over on a different thread.
People are talking about meeting spirits.
Then he started talking about how we split up our identity into different compartments. And that pieces of ourselves are actually the ones criticizing and talking to us.

I disagree with that tree frog…
My level five experience was an eye-opener. I don’t think that people who haven’t had something like that. Can even wrap their heads around the idea.
It’s much easier to just dismiss something like that as being impossible. So you can continue to live your life.

It might have been easier to go about my day-to-day. But it was a far more empty and meaningless existence.

I don't think it's necessary to actively embrace the spiritual side of things to share a common interest in the psychedelic experience, and I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to push back on "god" or "extra-terrestrial/dimensional" when discussing what conclusions can be drawn from psychedelic experiences. In a topic so open-ended and currently incapable of being objectively observed and recorded, opposing viewpoints and their bases are critical to active discussion on the topic, and active discussion is what keeps forums alive and relevant.

I freely admit that I don't know what causes the myriad of experiences that we all have on these compounds, because I only "know" what I've personally experienced, and how I have interpreted those experiences. So I can't really say that someone wasn't gifted with experience or information from some source that exists outside of their physical body as it is objectively defined in 4-dimensional space-time.

I have personally had several psychedelic experiences arising from several different psychedelic compounds, at varying levels of intensity. I've experienced epiphanies, meeting other entities, etc., during these psychedelic journeys, and I think that some of these experiences have positively changed how I see and interact with the sober world.

Do I think any of that was coming from some coherent external source? Not really, but I can't say for certain. I prefer to think about it as a brief exposure to the immense complexity of the mind and all of its connections and interactions, and how some of these psychedelic experiences expose different aspects of those lower-level mechanisms within the mind.

Generally speaking, being 100% sure of an objective truth in a topic so objectively controversial and poorly understood is a sign that you're not considering the whole picture, or the range of pssoible conclusions (and their probability of reflecting the actual answer) that can be drawn from the available information. That statement applies to both extreme ends of the opinion spectrum on this topic.

I completely agree with you. The differences in opinions allows for debate. What I do have an issue with is when somebody is describing their experience. And then somebody just jumps in and says

“no, you’re wrong. Let me tell you how you’re wrong.”

It’s just my opinion. But I feel like trying your hardest to demystify an actual experience like that. Is hurtful. It is not helpful. It is not a debate. You’re just trying to hammer in your thoughts and processes into someone else who had a different one.
If there was a “maybe” like you had on your comment. I wouldn’t have an issue with it. But they’re speaking as if it is a fact that there is nothing outside of their understanding that they can’t explain.
That is troubling to me. Very close minded thoughts like that are going to lead us nowhere.

Agreed, claiming objective truth on this topic, without any qualifier of opinion or "probably", is not helpful.

Until I download information from hyper dimensional mantis gods while sober, I will continue to assume the drugs played a large role.

Jokes aside, I appreciate that you separated spiritual and supernatural. I feel that I am perhaps “spiritual” on some level, but have simply never experienced anything that falls in the “supernatural” category. I would be open to accepting an experience as supernatural or religious if it happened to me and couldn’t otherwise be explained.

Given that mushrooms are inherently strange and unpredictable, I think that expecting a large community of people on strong psychedelic drugs to view it the way you do is a losing battle. But expecting them to be respectful and perhaps even connect over their differences of opinion is a worthy goal.

uo

Ive had spiritual experiences on mushrooms, dissociatives and various tryptamines.  Ive had a near death spiritual experience that changed my entire world view but I say nothing when my atheist friends discuss their beliefs because its of no consequence to me.  Sorry Asante I respect you very much but Im trying to understand how this isnt just being judgemental.  You cant just bully people into embracing "spiritualism".  The word itself makes my eye twitch because I associate it with judgemental people who tend to have more money and time on their hands than couth or compassion.  Is not using the medicine to try to be  better for our friends, loved ones and animals good enough?

Im sorry but this just comes across as punching downward which is something ive come to closely associate with the entire "spiritual" community in general.

In the 60s, everyone knew a guy that knew a guy that thought he was OJ after an acid trip.  I remember my dad telling me that he heard that from someone when he was young

I also had a seriously professionally made pamphlet someone gave me explaining how acid changes your DNA and that if you did acid, your kids would be mongoloid or retarded or have some other horrible birth defect.  I'm pretty sure it was probably made using govt dollars

My fathers friend moved away when they were kids, and I guess he never heard from him until receiving a letter with LSD in it years later. Apparently my old man took it not knowing what was up and flipped tf out.

So when I was a kid I’d get the generic “don’t do drugs” talk and the “please think very seriously before trying acid” talk :lol:
