This may be too personal a question (the Experience has NEVER left me), but, have you ever taken a sizable dosage of psychedelics, looked up at the sky, and witnessed those silvery-bluish kaleidoscopic 'wheels'? ("Gears?" he said, and I nodded "Yes.") I first saw them in June 1971 on 200 Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds with my friend Kenny. A year later, July 1, 1972, he accompanied me on my first Windowpane LSD trip. My dog Blackie shivered when we entered my parents' house, and Kenny was surrounded by a two-level aura - light blue and pink, and when he spoke, the same color light blue 'vapor' emerged from his mouth. Transparent pentagrams and other magical symbols appeared on the aqua-colored carpeting in my room, and they rose up on equally transparent pedestals of each shape. Every time I said the pronoun 'I,' I felt psychophysical 'pain,' as I became acutely and painfully aware of my egoity.

Those trips, and a few notable other early trips, 'imprinted' the notion of 'novelty.' On my 3rd or 4th trip on 'green Christmastree barrel acid,' before I new much about the Bible, the words which turned out to be Revelations 21:5 came into my mind: "Behold, I make all things new," as my friends and I approached the Interfaith Chapel at our college.

These moments have continued to inform me from their apparently timeless position in the unconscious wherein they have become suspended. I wonder if a hypnosis session or three might not free up your equivalent Experiences and allow them to continue to inform your present perceptions.

~~~
in aldous huxley's final novel _island_ the doctor (mcphail) is reading an article on the discovery of hallucinogenic compounds in morning glory seeds (of course, the folks on the island of pala are into meditating, tantric sex, mountainclimbing, and miksha-medicine (magic mushrooms!) - & this novel published back in 1962...)

~~~

in his small book _insight outlook_ dr albert hofmann says that a mystical magical moment in nature as a youth drove him to a career in chemistry (& thus to invent/discover LSD)...

Yeah, the whole genome changed in 30 years! :rolleyes: Where do you think this knowledge came form? The Aztecs used them or a related species thousands of years ago.

The proof is in the pudding.

Yeah, like Superman being killed by a building falling on him! What a crock! Superman was stronger than a locomotive, he could jump tall buildings with a single bound (as opposed to several bounds), he was faster than a speeding bullet! How could a building kill him? And no one ever investigated his death...because it was a conspiracy! There had to be some super concentrated kriptonite in that building...
