I truly think the shroomery will do just fine without you, people like you make the shroomery a waste of time..

The guy made a post about something extraordinary, you had no right to come in and say what you did..

The difficulty with anecdotes like yours is the singular fact that you only attribute your extreme anxiety to your beloved's death after the fact. Apparently at no time prior to meeting the parents did you know what the something wrong was.

You just called me "pathetic" and "cheap".

Actually chief, he called your ATTACK "pathetic" and "cheap".

Blar.  I really do get bothered by people claiming telepathy and psychic powers.
We really do have a world of powers far beyond that which we normally allocate ourselves, but they don't lie in the land of chicken guts and crystal balls and bending spoons with our minds.
Your mind's a very, very powerful tool.  Use to learn it rationally.

Here's another example.
My roommate's dating this guy.
He disappears for a week, finally shows up, breaks up with her.  Won't say where he's been.  I offer that he's probably been at his ex-girlfriend's.
Well, they get back together, and he accuses her of fucking me while he was away.  I offer that he fucked his ex girlfriend and now feels guilty about it.

I was right on both counts, incidentally, but neither was accomplished through reading another's mind or projecting myself astrally to catch the show.

Reason and instinct.  A lot of your instincts are actually just your mind reasoning out problems for you much faster and better than you consiously could, and taking into account many minute details you may have missed.  Of course, once an instinctual solution offers itself to you, you must decontruct it with reason and double-check yourself, but in my experience most often such solutions ARE correct.
A much more powerful tool than some sort of psychic trickery, and something you can actually rely upon and not be let down.

Okay, I've read a couple of trip reports on here (Level 4 and 5's) where the person tripping "communicates" with someone else. In one case, the guy was talking back and forth with his girlfriend, in his head, and his girlfriend was not on drugs at the time. She later confirmed that they were communicating. I read about other similar cases. Also, there are trip reports that say they can communicate with animals, plants, and rocks.
<br>Finally, there was one trip report where a guy went back and saw himself in his baby crib, just a few months old. He later talked to his mom about this, and described the wallpaper in the room. She said that it was a perfect description of the wallpaper. Furthermore, there were no pictures of the room, and they had only lived in that house for a few months.
<br>Telepathy, talking to animals, and time travel are all skills that a shaman is said to possess. Shamanism is an ancient practice, where the shamans would use drugs, or even drums and dancing to go into a trance-like state.
<br>I've noticed so many similarities between what commonly occurs when tripping and the spiritual journeys of the shaman, that I think tripping just can't be "all in your head". The connections between shamanism and tripping are also very similar to experiences that Buddhists, Hindus, and old Christian mystics had.
<br>Anyways, I'm just sharing some information. I'm also asking if anyone else has noticied these similarities or have experienced time travel, telepathy, or talking to plants, animals, and rocks. Thanks for your time.
