You must be careful here. I was very sweet and accepting before I came here. But then I saw what the enlightened psychedelic users were saying about the drivel they call cosmic truth and enlightenment. I became depressed and then angry. I gave up any hope for humanity. Now I am just like Swami. A bitter old man. The only difference is I have a young girlfriend and he lives alone with his goldfish.




As a legal counsel for the Shroomery, I would like to inform you that this forum is for entertainment purposes only. You obviously have not been using it correctly. Therefore, any litigation directed our way will quickly be shot down by a judge and our staff will arrive at your residence and smother you to death with patchouli.




Sorry:(

Let me refresh your memory so you understand what I said

...Because even if one accepts the beauty, tranquility and possibilities of such an approach and doesnt have the anxiety you speak of (or HAS as you say the courage), then there is still THE REST OF THE HUMAN RACE to deal with.

I speak from experience, and I can quite quite confidently say that the anxiety caused it less for the person embracing the approach and more for the people who love and care for them and also the others they meet in their life.

I think they can be misconstrued as a "confused" individual who doesnt know what they want and doesnt know what they believe.

At some point everyone will leave them and just say fuckit this guy has no clue what he is doing coz he so uncertain all the time. I just lost my girlfriend of ten years due to this approach and love of exploration and learning. And who knows how many other people I truly care about and who care for me I will lose ...blah blah




I think if you had read the post carefully you would see that what Im saying is, it is still easily misunderstood (BY OTHER PEOPLE) when one is uncertain knowingly, and the sheep often see it as being "undecided" about things.

I am very much consciously uncertain about many many things in my life, and find it is the best form of strategy in terms of living a full life, yet a translation is not available to explain the benefits of this approach to those who have no knowledge or practice in it (or have not done some psychedelics) , or who simply prefer to be sheep.

I guess I would have to say. Who cares what other people think? Unless they want to bother you physically leave them to their beliefs.

I have never met anyone who believes I don't know what I want or what I believe. Although most of them believe me to be confused. But that's just because I make them nervous with my beliefs.

It's not that I didn't understand that part of your post. I just didn't consider it important.
