new member intro and thoughts

what a life changing couple of years it has been for me. Starting out interested in quantum physics, it led me to believe everything I have ever known is wrong. My thoughts on our "purpose" here - we are here to experience. How can one know up if they do not know down ? How can one know love unless they have experienced hatred ? etc etc. The one thing I have been sooooooo intrigued with is out of body experiences and the use of things like ayhuasca, shrooms etc to experience a alternate reality which , I believe, is as real as the one we are usually in. Alas, being 48 years old and living in middle Tennessee where I did not grow up, I can't really find a source for any of these things. I have tried growing my own shrooms a couple of times but have failed both times (I have to do it stealthily in my garage as my wife is a fundamentalist Christian who believes we are all going to hell) After having checked out Terrance McKenna and others such as him, I have no doubt the Shamans were on to something, just wished I live in South America where I could try it myself. Anyway, looking forward to expanding my consciousness by reading your discussions at least. As many have said before, we are not humans with a spiritual side, but spiritual beings with a temporary human side. peace

Big problem dude. IMO you need to dump this relationship fast. Then find yourself a new home and begin to live the life you want. You aren't a youngster anymore and time is of the essence. Oh yeah, Welcome to the Shroomery.

"IMO you need to dump this relationship fast." well, u know, I have brooded over this for quite a few years, but actually, since I have walked down this new path, I have taken a second look at things. Basic question I ask myself every day when I wake up is "who do I want to be" The answer for me is I want to be a person who loves everyone and does not judge anyone for the decisions they make. In her mind, she is doing the right thing, so at this point in her life, that is the right thing for her. I have learned it is not the actions of others which define me, but my reaction to what they do. I wish to be at a place in my spiritual journey where I no longer judge etc.......it has been hard and I am still working on it, but I just remind myself everyday - her actions do not define me, it is my actions and decsions which define me. Not sure if that makes sense, was the quick version. but I do believe I am on the correct path - just starting with a long way to go, but finally headed down the right path just everyday, pop out of bed and ask yourself - who do I want to be. Thought truly is creative and our reality is formed by our every thought.

My first thought is that you should keep plugging away at growing your own shrooms (you rarely succeed on your first try), but you do have other options - the equipment needed for a quick DMT extraction is quite minimal (you can find a good tek that takes 3-5 hours on the Psychedelic Experience forum, search for it); you could order Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds (a legal but very legitimate, and pleasant, psychedelic) online; you could get ahold of some salvia (another legal one, very easy to find in most stoner-oriented smoke shops, profound and mind-expanding if still very different from classic psychedelics); you could find the ingredients growing nearby to brew up some local-style ayahuasca. Just because you're not in South America doesn't mean ayahuasca is off the table, DMT and MAOIs are found everywhere in nature. If all else fails, find somebody who's got a san pedro cactus in their front yard, cut off a foot of it, and make yourself some tea filled with mescaline. That's something I definitely want to give a shot soon.
Psychedelics are everywhere... everyone has an option available to them. Do some research on the ones I mentioned, and you should find SOMETHING that works for you. You sound like someone who has a lot to gain from the particular wisdom offered by psychedelics, so I wish you best of luck in your quest.

I hear and agree, to an extent. The extent being that we don't have to be intimately involved with those who have diametrically opposed views on life. Just because it's right for her doesn't mean it's something you would prefer to live with for the rest of your life. As you move into your new beliefs you will likely draw those who share them. You might just find a new mate who you will be able to share much more of your inner journey with, but not if you are involved somewhere else.
