Apples are way more sacred than magic mushrooms

Agreed. Anything that supports life is sacred and must not be wasted frivolously through disposal or over eating.

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Oh no sucker, this discussion is just beginning. Everything is sacred here. One feeds the bod and one feeds the head. Sacred is just a word some people like to lable things that have a special subjective importance in there minds. One thing is no more "sacred" than another. you're just comparing apples and mushrooms

The same can mostly be said of shrooms or LSD. Cept the afraid part...

Almost non of the mentioned can be said about shrooms and LSD,
kids don't use them, you can't use them anywhere on street (you'll get arrested), they make some people mad and afraid and they don't work for everyone (some end up in personal hell)
Apples work for everyone, they are always good

"kids don't use them" I beg to differ. I was wild about acid when I was seventeen. Seventeen is "kid" age to me (40). You can use them on the street when the cops aren't around...hell most of the acid I ever bought was out on the street....and I did disqualify the pie aspect. A shroom pie would be quite nasty. A friend who was once into brewing beer made a shroom batch of ale. The shrooms (I produced them) were liquified and put into the brew just before charging the bottles. It was cloudy beer, but quite decent. You only needed three to five to get going good.

Mushrooms only make the clueless mad.
Mushrooms are empowering, apples are sustaining, sacred is a word that either applies to everything or nothing.

Every anger is is like that, it is a result of our inability to adopt to something, so there is no difference between anger when someone hits you and when you get angry because somene is using acid

isnt what is "sacred" in the eyes of the beholder? Some Hindus hold cattle to be sacred animals. Here in the west, people put cattle into industrialized slaughter-houses full of torture and waste.
psychedelics are quite sacred to some even if they are not to others.

"I dont think there is such a thing as sacredness outside the mind of humans" That doesn't make the meaning any less valid. Compassion does not exist outside the human mind ...does that mean it is not real?

Is there anything outside minds of humans at all? Sure there is all this stuff around us, but the way we see it , the way we even begin to experience it, even the process of experiencing, all the words, thoughts, categoriastion, communication, logic, orientation, taking specific points of view, existence, non-existence, all of it is in our minds, outside our minds everything is so much irrelevant and orderless that it might as well not exist, or we could say it does not exist at all, because the difference between existence and nonexistence is in our minds too, outside of consciousness there is nothing but eternal deep dark void, and all the matter playing games in it makes no difference
So in the end it is pointless to say what is in our minds and what isn't, because even that which we think that is outside of us is in fact in our minds, everything is, so we can consider everything objective or nothing, it makes no difference

In this thought experiment, let's put all shroomerites in prison without food and see if they first ask for an apple or a shroom.

why do you interchange "sacredness" with "necessary for life" or "sustainance"? I do not understand the connection.
If these people are starving and need food, they will choose the apple. If they are not starving and looking for some sort of spiritual experience (where the whole sacred thing comes from), they will choose the mushroom.

When you go that deep theres no point in discussions like this at all We can at least try and figure out what is really real and what is't.
There is a big diference between what exists in our minds and what really exists, does enlightenment involve seeing everything for what it really is? I dont think that is even possible, its impossible trying to grasp the immensity of just one house let alone all the little bits and pieces, molecules and paticles, electrons and protons....
Hue, some people have a diferent definition of sacredness to you. I may feel a location is sacred to me, such as a garden or a tree... Some however will state that an object or area is sacred end of story. Not just to them but that it IS holy.

If these people are starving and need food, they will choose the apple. Very good, we are making real progress now.
If they are not starving and looking for some sort of spiritual experience (where the whole sacred thing comes from), they will choose the mushroom. But only if they are alive from eating the apple.

That aint too bad..if the apple is generous. Could I trade half of my apple? And if could I trade the other half for a beer...after all I need some nutrition to keep going.

I reverse my decision. Apples have negligible nutritional value.

Again, why do you assume that something sacred must also have a nutritional or health-sustainable component? Cannot certain locations be "sacred" or rituals be "sacred" to some?
I do not see the connection. As movingtarget said, food is necessary. The need for it is not necessarily an exercise in sacred activity - it sure can be, but it does not have to be. Yes, food keeps living beings alive - and some may recognize this value and regard it as "sacred."
Quote:
But only if they are alive from eating the apple.
...and only if they breathe oxygen, right?
I do not think the notion of "sacredness" is some sort of physical attribute where you can assign emperical values to ("apples are more sacred than mushrooms"). Again, it is all in the eye of the beholder (or worshipper, for that matter).
Certain things keep humans alive, you are correct. They can be considered sacred or life-providing, but that does not mean all other things considered sacred (mushrooms, relics, bones, locations, etc.) must be "life-providing" as well. They just have to have some important place in one's spiritual beliefs.

"Apples have negligible nutritional value"
I don't buy them. They have expensive fiber and a lot of gut churning acid. Kind of like shrooms in that regard but at least with shroom it's worth the stomach discomfort.
As for prisoners preferring apples over shrooms, whether starving or not (assuming this is a one time deal) I am guessing they would take the shrooms. If you are going to meet your maker, at least enjoy the experience.
And if the prisoners weren't starving, no doubt it would be shrooms.

Swami has trouble using a dictionary. Sometimes, he gets his definitions confused.
sacred 1: set apart for the service or worship of deity. 2: devoted exclusively to one service or use. 3: worthy of veneration or reverence. 4: of or relation to religion
necessary 1: INEVITABLE, INESCAPABLE; also CERTAIN 3: PREDETERMINED 3: COMPULSORY 4: positively needed
Apples are not necessary nor sacred. You can live your whole life and never eat an apple. So by the strictest example, apples are not necessary. And unless you consider apple pie at Christmas to be sacred, then I don't see apples being sacred either.
You must really love apples, Swami, to consider them as sacred as shrooms.
Almost anyone who has tried magic mushrooms will tell you they are sacred, in some form or fashion.
The same can't be said about apples.

Also, shrooms dont cause bad trips..... the concrete reality which you so faithfully believed in was shattered, THAT causes a bad shrooms trip. Shrooms dont make people angry, crazy, scared, or violent. Guns dont kill people. Spoons dont make you fat.

"Spoons dont make you fat." No wonder my diets don't work so well...
-------------------- "A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda
