The generalization included every human being at that age and yes I agree that there is a tendency to find more open-minded people here than outside the shroomery.

Quote:
MarkostheGnostic said: I agree with Swami that rigidity of thinking can occur at any age. My Lady and I used to have a regular visitor to our home who used to be an avid poster on the S&P. Now, last year, that poster was 27, I was 50 and my Lady was (well, it's impolite to say, but close to my age). The said poster was clearly identified with Fundamentalist Christianity while we were esoteric or 'Gnostic' Christians because of our openness to experience and the need to understand scriptural writings in the Light of our spiritual experience.
After two years of dinners together, wine and conversation, a shared FunGalmentalist experience, the poster wrote us a long e mail and said goodbye because he 'believed' that we had rejected the "Personal God." What we rejected was his cardboard, simplistic notions of a 'Big-Guy-in-the-Sky' like a Disney animation of Zeus. We both pray and we both KNOW that Whoever/Whatever we are attempting to commune with utterly transcends our limited abilities to comprehend. We consider prayer to be Transrational rather than irrational, and GOD to be Transpersonal as opposed to merely Personal, like human beings. We never again saw or heard from this poster, who we thought had become our friend. He did leave a number of his books related to entheogens along with a book of my own (The Gnostic Gospels) that I had lent him on our doorstep.
My Lady and I assume that this 'younger' fellow returned to his Fundamentalist church. The last time he was over to visit, he insisted that the black dragon wall clock (that happens to match dragon coasters, wall sconces, etc.) was Sinister, and I suppose that this projection of his extended to us - we were sinister and had somehow warped him by introducing things like BE HERE NOW, Hatha Yoga, 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test,' decent red wine and sandlewood incense from India and Japan, and oh yes, let me not forget...we got him laid (pardon the expression) for the very first time. Even though keeping that last one a secret, his demeanor changed so positively and so noticeably that he reminded me of that character (Billy?) in Kesey's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' after HE got laid and lost his neurotic stutter. I guess from the poster's point of view (somewhat paranoid) we WERE sinister. What do you think?
Hehe you put up with too much Let me visit your place and we'd probably spend hours joyfully discussing your "sinister" items.
