Recently in the Ken Wilber meetup group we talked about Jung and Ken Wilber
There are two paths to enlightenment, either transcend it all by saying, I am "not this, not this." - the "male" way. The "female" way is to embody all.
Ken Wilber calls this Freedom vs. Fullness.
At integral (see Don Beck and Ken Wilber), perhaps we do both.
We have entered a period of epistemological chaos. The true condition of our world, indeed the very nature of our phenomenal reality, including agreement regarding the meaning of knowledge itself, is completely up for grabs.
Albert Hofmann, discoverer of LSD, died in 2008 aged 102. This book, which he saw in proof form shortly before his death, has consequently become a posthumous tribute to the man, celebrating his life, work and influence.
[Continuing from previous posts] It was the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend, September 3, my due date, and I was awakened about 9 a.m. by a contraction. Labor was starting, right on schedule! I waited for a couple more contractions to be sure this was for real. When I was convinced that I was really in labor, I ate the purple wedge with a simple prayer for a holy delivery.
(Editors Note: I'm a sophomore at the University of Miami and this post was originally written for my freedom of expression class, and the assignment was to simply write a blog post about whatever was on your mind. Psychedelics and my frustrations with the whole idea of college where on my mind on this day)
It was Christmas season in Haight-Ashbury. I was still in my new multi-dimensional consciousness much of the time, Peace, Love, and Joy filled the air and filled my heart as Todd and I strolled along Haight Street on Christmas Eve, giving away pairs of filigree-and-bead earrings I had made, in hopes of teaching Todd that the joy of Christmas is in giving – even to total strangers.
If we had to live in a city again, I wanted a big apartment, close to a park. I found one through a rental agency. It was a five-room flat on the corner of Shrader and Waller streets, a block from Golden Gate Park and within my budget. Great! The fact that it was also a block from Haight Street didn’t mean a thing to me.
Disclaimer: The following post technically discusses what would amount to a large-scale terrorist attack on the public. I do not in any way condone the outlined actions and seriously only pose them as a fun moral dilemma problem to chew on and discuss for philosophical reasons. I don't want to get nabbed by homeland security for this shit so don't take it seriously lol.
New technology has allowed reconstructions of the paint job on ancient Greek statues. I saw the picture of the archer statue and was like, "Hmm, that looks like a familiar pattern." I've heard that the Eleusinian Mystery ceremonies may have utilized LSA, and that these ceremonies inspired much of Greek art. I see much evidence of this from the colorization.
The other night, a friend and I watched a few of the BBC Life documentaries. They're absolutely stunning, especially in 1080p, and particularly on LSD. We watched one on reptiles, one on fish, and one on other deep sea creatures.
I finally want to publicly share what I've gathered from my experiences. If I don't, they were just My experiences. I have to share what I've learned because I feel like I was blessed by being given the abundant opportunities to view the world from many wonderful and new perspectives.
From his book Dark Night, Early Dawn is Chistopher Bache's report of a synthesis of several incredible high-dose L sessions wherein he is shown the beginnings of creation and the future evolution of humanity's consciousness.
It’s been a long time since I read a book that has held so much personal significance for me as Andy Roberts’ Albion Dreaming, which with great enthusiasm and obvious love for the subject matter, relates the specifics of how LSD tripped out British culture—a story as least as interesting as its American counterpart, featured in works such as Storming Heaven and Acid Dreams.
