When we are all dead
    #7436925 - 09/21/07 02:39 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Think about 200 years from now. Will there be humans on earth? Would their culture be recognizable to us?

What if the Shroomery still exists? - people are still arguing about the big questions, maybe now in a three or four dimensional virtual world. There are older members imparting wisdom and provoking levity among the younger generation, who are all hopelessly angst-ridden about their place in the universe. They'll reference the ancient posts in the Shroomery's heyday - before the Psychedelic Revolution and the transformation of the Earth. Redgreenvines and fireworks_god will be quoted in signatures as we quote McKenna, Hofmann, Dass, Shulgin, Castaneda.

Anyway, that's all I got really. Just an image that arose and swirled around.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

"She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

With much wisdom comes much sorrow,
The more knowledge, the more grief.

I'm not depressed about wasting money on drugs now!

Quite possible, one can build a giant podium of followers through this 2 dimensional world yet because of its limitations, have great advantage in that they are known ONLY for the quality of their work

as a face is never attached and ego is filtered out as irrelevant.

I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo!

....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human......
Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
