I think all kids are gifted in some way and the ones deemed special enough for smart enough shouldn't be the only ones that have access to these cool extracurricular type activities and classes. Some kids excel in some ways and some kids excel in others. The ones that excel in art are just as much "gifted" and "talented"....  it should not just be deemed academic

I was never ever "smart" enough to make it into one of these classes.. therefore I was excluded.

However I was absolutely gifted and talented enough to excel in some sort of other program and if I would have been included.

I think I would have had more fun in school as a child as opposed to being told I'm dumb all the time and given tests constantly  to figure out where to place me with all the other dumb kids so that nobody could think about or pay attention to me anymore..


The gifted and talented program main my eyes is just more important people excluding those who are less fortunate than others. 

A d  the kids have no clue until they become those stuck up bullies that think they are smarter and more important than everyone else because the school separated them and said so.



Sorry  this one really hits home with me. And was a discussion my wife and I had recently about the school my nephews are attending.

k also saved my life.  i think its a lot more spiritual than you might think.  for me it lays bare the essence that is me.  my inner child.  its not the experience or sensation that is important, its what you DO with the space that it grants.  its the work youre able to accomplish while youre unencumbered. the ghost knows what it wants and what it needs.  the body is a distraction.  impulse and desire are temporal and chemical. 

when all weaker and lower energy emotions decay, love and fear remain.  polar opposites.  what you choose to nurture will determine the neurological network you prefer.

Nice mic-drop, Beef!  Ha!

Seriously though, you need to give me some tips on how to do that!  I journal like a motherfucker leading up to a k session, but it has always been a mess afterward and is more difficult for me to integrate than a shroom trip. I always want to maximize the impact, but have just kind of accepted that it doesn’t quite punch me through quite like want it to. I’ll figure it out at some point, I’m sure.

Beef, I'm curious, have you sat with Ayahuasca?

My plant medicine path started with ceremonial mushroom work with a dear friend in Mexico, and that eventually led to Aya. I'm sort of right in the thick of it now, having done two ceremonies and working on a third later this month. Some of that work is what led me to feel called to grow my own mushroom medicine, by the way.

Anyway I'm curious to know if it's something (any of) you have ever felt called to.

I journal, prep, meditate, you name it prior. However the real breakthrough came when I simply let go for my sessions. I trusted that my prep surfaced whatever I needed, and that God, the Universe, name your higher power, knows a shit ton more than I do and I just let go. Blank the mind except for a simple mantra that fit like Clarity, Connection, Ceremony. That’s it. And then trust and let go.

Doing that made all the difference for me in a way that is indescribably a leap out of reality.
