Species Wide Neural Retardation and Fruit Fueled Evolution

Terence McKenna - “I believe that the lost secret of human emergence..the undefined catalyst that took a very bright monkey and turned that species into a self-reflecting dreamer..that catalyst has to be sought in these alkaloids in the food chain that were catalyzing higher states of intellectual activity.”

About Me

Bio

I was born with a condition called Hypnagogic Hallucination which has pitted me into a life where one foot has always been grounded in the dream world or the unseen layer of a world that we live in.

Through personal visions, revelations and prophecy I have been on a quest of becoming the man I'm supposed to be and I believe the time is near.

I am the Co-founder and the High Marques Ambassador of Mi Casa Tequila. We are based out of SF and I run the company with my sister. We are both very in tune with the spirit and aim to use our the money we make in the future to fight the good fight.

Two Psychedelic Conferences a World Apart
Nese Senol

Over the course of two consecutive weekends, I flew between Entheogenesis Australis (EGA), Australia's premier gathering of psychedelic pioneers, and Cartographie Psychedelica, a California-based conference celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). These are some of my observations.

Being a Psychedelic Shaman or Hallucinogenic Magick in Theory and Practice

I have been using mind altering drugs for spiritual exploration for most of my adult life. I am 41 now and I feel like I am just beginning to understand how these amazing substances can really change the world. I have also been studying magick, shamanism and mysticism for most of my adult life. When I started combining the two over 20 years ago, there wasn't much published on the subject.

About Me

Bio

My real name is Aref Ahmed, I am 18 years old and reside in Rockland County, New York. I strive to be an artist in my daily life. I am a blue belt in the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I write lyrics and poems, and I am working on drawing, painting, and graphic design. Midway through high school, I learned about psychedelic substances and was intrigued; since then reality has taken a spin for me. It's been 2 years since then, and I am a completely different person and have grown a lot, and will continue to grow and spiral out :)

Skills and talents
Martial arts (brazilian jiu-jitsu) - I started training at 14 and have competed in tournaments ever since and will continue to do so. My goal has always been to become a great black belt, and I will achieve this! Writing - mostly poems and raps; I want to make music in the future Graphic design: In middle school I used to be on message boards all the time, and from there I picked up Photoshop and started making all sorts of signatures and avatars. I found I had a knack for it, and I learned by using tutorials and experimenting. I stopped once high school began, and just recently started up again. I'm re-learning, but I have some awesome ideas which I will share soon! ^_^
Interests

Psychedelic Sobriety: An Interview with Peter Bebergal
David Metcalfe

In his memoir, Too Much to Dream: A Psychedelic American Boyhood, Bebergal's interviews with psychedelic luninaries and his reflections on personal experience form the basis for a historical study of psychedelics in American culture, providing a unique perspective on how popular culture affects what has in the past been the sole domain of sacred ritual.

Try Something New for Xmas!!!

Interested in doing some different kind of Xmas shopping this year? Be remembered for your gift of psychedelic revolutionary absurdity!

RED MASS is a psychopomp adventure bringing the concepts of shamanic consciousness into the popular literary realm; imagine a postmodern X-Files plus Beat poet superheroes on LSD. Below is a brief synopsis of the story:

This Week in Psychedelics
Nese Senol

Deepak Chopra's psychedelic experiences inspire a new meditation video game for Kinect and Wii, Bill Maher describes acid as safer than processed sugar and "mind-narrowing pharmeceuticals", and brain scans reveal the "reality" of ayahuasca visions in this week's psychedelic news.

Kerouac: A Psychonaut in Denial
Nick Meador

Jack Kerouac's experiments with mescaline, ayahuasca, and psilocybin mushrooms influenced his 1962 novel Big Sur, just as earlier trials with peyote shaped his trademark  "spontaneous prose" style. So why does the public still think he scorned psychedelics?
