I miss the old shroomery

Remember the good ol days, (sniff sniff). There used to be some solid debate going on (whine whine) Now it's just a few blathering idiots (bitch bitch) Spewing gobbledygook and bullshit.(piss, moan). Where have all the real spiritual people gone? (I'm better than you)
Thank you for your responses in advance.

S&P has gone through several phases, and I don't think the current one is as nearly as bad as some of the other ones. I'd rather be debating about humility, compassion, Christ, and so on than go back to the UFO days where it was all about the plaedians and reptilians and how humans were created by aliens rather than evolving from apes. Though it's starting to wane, I think for a while quite recently, there was an upswing of spirituality in here.

There was a guy named Shantideva who lived many centuries ago and said something like: If you are unhappy, then do something about it. If you can't do something about it, then don't be unhappy.
So basically I'm trying to say that if you aren't thrilled by the new style of threads (and to be honest I find some of them to be uninteresting as well), then start some new threads that are more interesting. Otherwise, don't let yourself become unsatisfied as that is only counterproductive.

No kidding. Plus, I like the blue and turquoise better than the tan and brown colour scheme. If I'm excessively nostalgic at times, it's just 'cause these rosy-hued specs are so damn slick-looking I can't seem to take 'em off. Plus some people have moved on from this forum that I kinda wish hadn't.

maybe people got sick of the gobblie goo...remember when the holier than thou churches only allowed the word of god to be spoken in latin! and the only ones permitted to interpret the word where these men of god. then the rest of the world picked up on this. operas where written in italian by order of the king; becuz, if they where song in german everybody would roll over laughing. then the philosophers wrote in gobblie goo, some of the plays addressed the masses (shakespear), but they continue to have the ubermensche and the nothings. then along came the rolling holies spouting stuff that was made up based on all of this. then came tv, the internet, and lsd...

Theres no difference really. I'm just kidding in this post.
I really have run out of things to say so I can't be counted on for anything intelligent (if I ever could). I really have gotten what I came to the Shroomery for. I wanted to know if anyone was on the same wavelength as me. I also wanted to work on my ability to communicate ideas and develope them in a debate format. I wanted to see if I could hook up a relationship with any warriors. I wanted to see where the psychedelic population was at these days and if there seemed to be anything to the idea of a mass spiritual transformation in humanity. I wanted to meet new people. I wanted to play. I have done all that and have all my answers and all the questions have repeated for the third time now. I doubt that I will post here often anymore.(This is good for the folk who think I'm a real prick) Over all I think the Shroomery is exactly as it should be.

I took a young man hiking yesterday, he's 5 years old, as black as othello, and very focused. he can tell you whats happens to a stepfather when he hits a 2 year old in the head with a bottle of bleach. he knows when to lie and when to tell the truth
but he also enlighten me; if you listen to what he was saying, you knew you where talking to god...
if you've run out of words it's time to listen...

Dude your registration date says 03/05 you don't know jack shit about the "old shroomery" sorry. I appologize If I am wrong and you have been here before under a differnent name though its possible I have been here since 01 and here under a different handle since 99 so I would say Im a little more qualified to tell you the new shroomery isn't that much different from the old shroomery. I just miss the swamster what ever happened to him? He was resident skeptic no. 1 and could put any bullshitter in their place especially his arch nemisis shroomism with his alien talk.

I think back in the day Swami made a great contribution to S&P, but he eventually got too full of himself, and it became more about him than it was about S&P. I think by the time he got permabanned, he had become a shadow of his former self.

Hey thanks for posting that. I have never looked at it. Fuck 206 ratings. I sure gave a lot of 5s. There are some terrific people here and this reminded me of that. Most of my one shroom posts were for the moderators.
By the way. Jiggy and Sinbad. I changed your ratings.

Hey, best of luck to you. Don't hardly know you, our times of active posting haven't coincided very well, but you seem like good folks who will do well in your various endeavors.
"I think by the time he got permabanned, he had become a shadow of his former self."
Whoa, Swami is permabanned? Explains why the guy whose life seemed to be exclusively the S&P is nowhere to be found. I think that news is my Grand Bull-Moose Mixed Feelings Gold Medal Prize Winner for the day, though I wasn't around for when his posts were slipping, I don't think.

Thanks for bringing that to everyones attention.
As you pointed out I'm running out of time. I plan on retiring at the end of this year. I'm only working two days per week now. I want to find out what I'm still capable of and I don't need the distraction of work. Veritas and I are looking around the world for a possible relocation. Anyway I really don't have anything productive to add anymore and nobody wants a grumpy old man around.

He isn't asking for kudos, really. It's just as easy to knock him on a thread like this. And I don't recall hearing him promise anything.
I've heard of Popeye (they're the only brand of cigarettes I buy!) but I've certainly never watched it. Mostly I'm disappointed you aren't sending me money. I'll totally, umm, mail you some hamburgers. Scout's honour!

Popeye was a famous wise man. He said something very profound that few people can actualize in a lifetime of trying.

I shouldn't complain about the spiritual clime of this forum if I'm not contributing. On the other hand, I don't usually get many responses when I create a post so I usually just answer questions that particularly interest me, when I have an answer to offer. It is very nice to know that there are some psychedelic enthusiasts around the world that would offer me hospitality if I were in their vicinity, and vice versa (I'm a home body and do not travel much).
The only way that this forum can grow is if 'psychonauts' choose to take a more scholarly approach to their experiences. Instead of reading New Age publications and the lunatic fringe (like planet X swinging into our solar system, reptilian aliens, blah, blah, blah...), if people found themselves belonging to a historical lineage of Eastern and Western seekers, and familiarized themselves with the thoughts/feelings of those seekers, and how the Church and history even vilified them, a greater sense of meaning and belongingness would develop. Without a deeper connection to those seekers of the past, many young Shroomerites are likely to go the way of most trippers from my generation. Most trippers could not integrate the Experiences well enough to permanently affect their deepest values and morals. The Psychedelic Experience became a cliche belonging to 'the 60s' and therefore became passe. I remember the long-hairs who suddenly got 70's hair styles, clog shoes and traded humble love beads for gold-plated razor blades on gold chains to reflect the shallowness of their inner life as being nothing more than a changeable display of cultural fashion.
Tom Wolfe in his The Electric Acid Kool-Aid Test noticed how 'hip' Blacks (now hip-hop) didn't like acid because it 'killed the cool.' Among people of different ethnicities I've noticed that, and the idea is not to be 'cool' because that is a step away from 'cold' which is part of the whole 'stone cold killa [sp]' mentality that gangsta rap depicts. The Psychedelic Experience makes for a 'warm' heart, not a sociopathically cold one. So now it's not 'disco' as a competing social trend, but 'hip-hop.' The values are similar, but there seems to be a much wider streak of sociopathic violence involved. The disco people had to move on, but they often took their materialism-in-the-service-of-status-seeking mentality all the way through life, leaving seeking-after Truth far far behind (if such seeking was ever there to begin with) in the memories of idealistic 20-something youthful discovery of life. I hope that the Shroomery, and this forum in particular, is a place where young Entheogenic Enthusiasts can better integrate their Experiences, thereby effecting permanent change in their Consciousness, so that they are not taken over by the seduction of corrupt secular culture and non-Enlightenment.
Sorry if this turned out to be a rant

Why must people always give the "BIG FAREWELL". Come on Ice....it is better to just not show up one day...and then not show up again. The "BIG FAREWELL" has been done 3 or 4 times by many users. When I totally tire from it I'll just walk away.

I never gave a farewell. I still plan to post. All I said is I got what I wanted and I plan to post much less. If you check out my origional post it had nothing to do with me leaving. I was bored and joking around.
Maybe people just want it to be my big farewell.

"So now it's not 'disco' as a competing social trend, but 'hip-hop.' The values are similar, but there seems to be a much wider streak of sociopathic violence involved." -- Markos
You clearly know not of what you speak. I'll agree with you that mainstream hip-hop is weak and without value, but that's true of any music bland enough to fit into the mainstream.
"What a vicious format, the system sets parametres for living/ By using tunnel vision funneled to the money system/ Ads are dads, sitcoms are moms/ Dollars are our legs and arms and our heart is a bomb/ Detonate if you hesitate/ To slave or matriculate/ You'd better participate/ Survival's your interest rate/ Financing is Manson/ Hopes are held for ransom/ Power's dancing, sorrow's the anthem" --Mr. Lif or how about "Our horizon was accessorizing/ Need bred more need/ Best believe it's the equation of greed/ I need a new car and thus new brakes/ Another tune-up with lube/ Whatever's put together shall be unscrewed/ In times of famine we made more food/ Food made more people/ It's self-explained within this cycle of evil/ Would I trade it all, cruisin' down the highway on a bright summer day/ Gazing out a plane to see the Earth from miles away/ Watching the Patriots win the Superbowl/ Grabbin that fumble from Ricky Paul/<-no clue is that's the right last name Or my stereo provided me with rhythm and soul/ I dunno, all I know is I feel guilt for every single thing I've ever bought or sold/ I shoulda been in more demonstrations/ Planted bombs in corporations/ Murdered CEOs and canceled tv shows/ Burned billboards and torn posters, I could have read more/ But finally I'll get to meet this God they left us dead for/ And it's ill, it's power took the form of a bill/ For which people killed life, manipulated free will/ Conscience will be their crucifix, the chopping block for poppycock/ And I can feel our spirits drop upon these streets I hardly walk..." Mr. Lif
I'm doing this without the benefit of liner notes, so you'll have to forgive me on what I get wrong, but what I'm trying to convey here is that there are plenty of artists who still stand for what hip-hop really is. Socially conscious, politically aware, intent on revolution and actually capable of motivating the youth, which is more than can be said for your rosy-hued revisionism. Heh, you weren't really being a revisionist, I just have a thing for alliteration. My point being, just because any hip-hop you might see on MTV features guys getting sprung over their guns and jewelery and marginalized young girls gyrating their asses with such vigour you worry they might hurt themselves, doesn't mean that's all hip-hop has to offer.

itstarssaddam raises an excellent point, you were indeed being a rosy-hued revisionist in your appraisal of psychedelics and their affect on culture back in 'the day'.
I wasn't sure I had appraisal spelt right, so I did the ole spellchecker and guess what! It tries to change itstarssaddam to Amsterdam! Just one more reason that's a kickass name.

I agree, but I see musical trends as an expression of the way one perceives the world. Check out how the fringey, threadbear, organic, non-polished look of the psychedelic 60s was created by the Psychedelic Experience. First things were somewhat garish and DayGlo (like Ken Kesey's trees in LaHonda - painted with the first DayGlo paint). Then the blacklight poster and outrageous costuming mellowed into more subtle expressions (by the early 70s). When disco appeared, it did so along with the surge of cocaine into our culture. Ego-enhancement and inflation gave rise to the donning of gold jewelry, tailored name-brand clothes, carefully coiffed hair, and a strutting male and glammed up female sexual persona. For a brief time, the Punk culture with its slam-dancing, violence, spiked hair and spiked jewelry seemed to reflect a PCP induced mentality.
Hip-hop culture has its drug use, but nowhere do I see anything remotely resembling a spiritual direction in one's human development. Ecology movements? Social action instead of mere angry adolescent attitude? A meditative life-style? Rockers don't fare much better if one takes standard radio stations as an indication of the collective consciousness. It's mostly adolescent 'angst' - lots of complaining. Somebody show me some idealism please! Realism quickly deteriorates into pessimism, nihilism, materialism without an idealism that derives from transcendental experiences.
The original rock-n-roll, Buddy Holly, Elvis, etc. reflected a derepression of sexuality, which was sorely needed at that time, but at this point, sexuality having passed through some attempts at the idyllic notions of the 60s, have now been recast into the pimp-prostitute sex of sex-as-commodity that the lowest levels of street society have always had. Gutter sex and its attendent misogyny characterize hip-hop as I perceive it, rock still sings provocatively about sex, but love is nowhere in sight in either of these main camps of common cultural composition. Violence to others/violence to self; death to others by gunfire/death to self by drug overdose. Thanatos and Eros - Root Chakra reality, occasionally rising to Manipura chakra power motives: mammalian territoriality in hip-hop/magical fantasies in rock.
Somebody turn me onto a transcendental sound! Please. If you can, it comes from few individual artists, but not any significant cultural movement.

Read through these lyrics by the Black Eyed Peas. Every so often you hear stuff that is sending out a positive movement message.
Where is The Love?
What's wrong with the world mama? People living like aint got no mamas I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism But we still got terrorists here livin In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate And if you hatin you're bound to get irate Yeah madness is what you demonstrate And that's exactly how anger works and operates You gotta have love just to set it straight Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all
People killing people dying Children hurtin you hear them crying Can you practice what you preach Would you turn the other cheek? Father Father Father help us Send some guidance from above Cause people got me got me questioning Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)
It just ain't the same all ways have changed New days are strange is the world the insane? If love and peace so strong Why are there pieces of love that don't belong Nations dropping bombs Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones With ongoing suffering As the youth die young So ask yourself is the loving really strong? So I can ask myself really what is going wrong With this world that we living in People keep on giving in Makin wrong decisions Only visions of them livin and Not respecting each other Deny thy brother The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover The truth is kept secret Swept under the rug If you never know truth Then you never know love Where's the love y'all?(I don't know) Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know) Where's the love y'all?
People killing people dying Children hurtin you hear them crying Can practice what you preach Would you turn the other cheek? Father father father help us Send some guidance from above Cause people got me got me questioning Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder As I'm getting older y'all people get colder Most of us only care about money makin Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction Wrong information always shown by the media Negative images is the main criteria Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema Whatever happened to the values of humanity Whatever happened to the fairness and equality Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying Children hurtin you hear them crying Can you practice what you preach Would you turn the other cheek? Father Father Father help us Send some guidance from above Cause people got me got me questioning Where is the love?(fade)
Real quick, I want to make mention to something you said Markos and I'm not even sure if anything I have posted here is what you are reffering too. You mentioned that you would like to see more of a scholarly approach taken to historicle texts.
For some of us, it started there and we kept going and digging and searching deeper and found our way to the source of where the wisdom of those texts came from, the celestial beings that have had an influence on human kind. Some times I use the word galactics "same difference".
The celestial beings that have been influencing and guiding human spiritual development and awareness are very much a part of my spiritual life, experience and heritage. For some of us, the roots stop at historical texts and for some of us, we found they stretched even deeper out into the cosmos.
Though if I want to put up a post about the celestial angelics/galactics/star people, (all the same thing) I do it in MR&P now. Sometimes, someone puts up a post in here and I am inspired to make a reply that may make mention of them.
I don't understand why Pleiadian is such a dirty word around here when all they do is emit love light, and when directly experienced is overwhelming to a human form.
They more then any source or historical text have helped me to remember the love that is. They, more then any source, have offered me the wisest of guidance, understanding and support. They opened up so many beautiful realms of understanding for me. I would be 1/50th the person I am now without the "sweet influence of the pleiades" and that would be the 1/50th that is the worst of me.
Without them, I wouldn't even have found my way to this forum which has been a gift in my life sharing the journey with you all.
I had been doing a web search on Jesus's ties to the Pleiadians. My understanding was that Gabriel a Pleiadian Arch Angel, was the actual Father that star seeded Jesus with Mary and that Mary came from a benevolent Lyran bloodline. Then I started hearing talk of the Sirians claiming to have sent him here and went digging. My search brought me to a post here in S&P. Now its two years later.
To some, they may be nothing more then ETs related to sci fi. To me they are very beautiful beings of light holding the vibration of love and very much a part of my spiritual awakening in this life.
If my mention of them here and there is off topic to you Markos or off topic Gibberish to you Icelander, my apologies. 
Just posting this for some understanding of where I am coming from anyway if I bring them up.

I know that artist Alex Grey is into Tool, and they sport his art. What I've heard is fairly 'dark,' deep perhaps, but dark. Anything that is musically and lyrically given to soaring (by comparison: Jerry Garcia can evoke ecstatic states with his guitar for us)?

Thanks for the lyrics G., I'd have to hear the music that goes with them. As for your assumption about the existence of beings: like the Gnostic Archons and the entire medieval "Celestial Hierarchy" of beings, and the Sephira of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, I take 'spiritual beings' of any name, tongue-in-cheek and metaphorical for certain spiritual 'events' that occur in life and the the personification of such events or principles. I do not assume objective existence, but it sounds like you do. To each her own, but Ultimately, there is only ONE, and celestial beings seem to have less 'actuality' than human beings, unless of course 'they' are simply our grasping at the incomprehensible Oneness of GOD through the 'compound eyes' of the dualism we are trapped in.
Moderns have tended to cast these celestial beings in terms of extraterrestrials over the seraphim, cherubim, powers, principalities, dominations, archangels and angels of antiquity. When 'The Chariots of the Gods' mentality re-interprets the mystical Merkabah (Throne) visions of the OT in terms of physical spacecraft, another age with another paradigm is evident. The Hindus would say that the Golden Age has given way to the Age of Iron (an alchemical analogy). I neither affirm or deny the existence of extraterrestrials or celestial beings, but I just don't see helping 'others' in a Arthur C. Clark kind of way. No offense

Somebody turn me onto a transcendental sound! Please. If you can, it comes from few individual artists, but not any significant cultural movement.
Check out Tool.
I recommend the song "Doot Doot" by Freur (released in 1993). It is the single most transcendental song imho, I've been listening to it at least once a week since 2004 when I discovered it.

Ha! Could it be that perhaps Markos has participated with The Shroomery for this long without yet having a Shpongle Experience?
 Peace.

If one is analyzing the correlations amongst substances and genres of musikk, Divine Moments of T should say it all, eh? 
I have been without that experience, personally, but look forward to the oppurtunity! 
 Peace.

MarkostheGnostic said: I hope that the Shroomery, and this forum in particular, is a place where young Entheogenic Enthusiasts can better integrate their Experiences, thereby effecting permanent change in their Consciousness, so that they are not taken over by the seduction of corrupt secular culture and non-Enlightenment.
Amen! A friend of mine is like that.. he goes toward's LaVey's Satanism, New Age spiritual materialism and basically a Jim Morrison take on Eastern philosophy as a result of his psychedelic-taking. It is utterly annoying from my point of view. I've told him that all of this is basically bullshit and that it has nothing to do with actual inner experiences, but his understanding of Gnosticism and related esoterics as I explained it is almost pop-culture-esque, like Britney Spears' "interest" in Qabbalah. I don't like to bash what others revere, but I know a dead end when I see it. I don't see any good intentions in philosophical limbo.
I don't know why people read outside the lines when it comes to psychedelic tranformation when the center piece is so obvious. My original response to psychedelic experience was that it was pure, unadulterated Satanic evil, to cue in as to how intense it was. With none other than a psychic mindset, mysteries were being forced fed to me like a watermelon being jammed through a keyhole. I was fortunate enough to stumble onto the Shroomery's S&P (now P&S), though, because at the time I was mindfully addicted to what I was experiencing (I was tripping every weekend for several months at one point) yet at the same time I reviled my experiences as sinful - a no go zone for the Children of God, who aren't supposed to see the Holy One until the hereafter. I felt like the literal Eve. I couldn't put behind me what I had seen. It just kept lingering.
I was.... transformed.

Well, Swami can't past me, but I'm sure he managed to get through me, in some ways.
I keep my eyes open, and the signs always fall in place.

to get back to the origional post. the basic princibles of philosophy have been known and discussed for thousands of years, its kind of hard to add much other than the personal moments of realization. as far as more up to date philosophy and spirituality goes, most poeple seem to stay behind the curve because even for spiritual poeple they can't use or understand the more advances stuff till they get the basic stuff. also i've tended to notice poeple once they get the basics tend to stick with them and discuss them endlessly rather than advance onto new levels. probably do to fear of having to re-organize and comfort in what they've learned so far.
i feel like i've only made 2 or 3 important posts at the shroomery ever, and they were largely ignored.

Also, to present an oppurtunity for me to deride Mushman for not uploading any Astral Projection... I'd do it but I must refrain from posting so I can go do other stuff!

Who's Astral Projection?
I was checking out the shows for Shpongle yesterday, and I was really disappointed! There are none within hundreds of miles of me for the rest of '06.
Oh, and Hallucinogen is a great soundtrack for acidic mystical experiences.

I am always looking for new tunes. What is their best album so I can check it out.

Oh man that's a tough one. All of their albums are amazing and have something different to offer. Alot of them also have McKenna sound clips which makes it even cooler.
I'd recommend their newest CD, "Nothing Lasts" or "Falts of the Inexpressible", but "Are You Shpongled?" has some classics like Divine Moments of Truth.

Right on! Let me know what you think. They're one of the few bands for me that will actually intensify a psychedelic experience just through listening to them.

Excellent...yeah Shpongle has many complex layers and patterns that I don't think Tangerine Dream had.
Check this one out
