MAGIC MUSHROOM CURE FOR depression/grief

Rate: 27 Flag

  A

 

 

They want to classify, these Healers,

 these Idolators of New(est) Science…

aaaa 

…………………………………………………………………………

 

Very well. Grief is depression. A=B.

………………………………………………………………………….

Re. A:

 

Depression is hopelessness. An internal dark pit where no light gets in.

 

But! Light is somehow the key to the universe. Speed of light inviolable, all that…

 

It is unnatural to not let in the Light.

aaa 

 

And the Light gets in, always, anyway, beyond your control, contriving to rectify,

purify

you

by distillation, refinement.

There would be no such thing as suffering if there was not non-suffering.

……………………………………………………………………………….

Re. B:

 

Grief is situational. 

 

How you deal with it depends on your metaphysical position.

Often it refines your position.

 

…………………………………………………………………………………………

 

A=B, ok.

Accepted.

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

 

Grief. Depression .. what to do about it?

 

What if I said, “eat some magic mushrooms?”

 

You would likely scorn me.

 

But the same science that classifies and observes and experiments now says

 

Psilocybin can  help…

…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

 

 

Listen: go there! A guy named David Nutt (not kidding)

Says

 

“psilocybin actually caused activity to decrease in (brain)areas

that have the densest connections with other areas …”

These so-called "hub" regions of the brain

 are known to play a role in constraining our experience

of the world and keeping it orderly,

he said.

 

“many volunteers described a feeling

of the cogs being loosened and their sense of self being altered…..

  psilocybin enhanced their recollections of personal memories.

 ………………………………………………..

Robin Carhart Harris from Imperial's department of medicine,

 who worked on both studies,

said the results suggest psilocybin

could be useful

as an adjunct to psychotherapy.

Nutt cautioned

that the new research

was very preliminary and involved only small numbers of people.

"We're not saying go out there and eat magic mushrooms,"

he said. "But...

this drug has such a fundamental impact

 on the brain that it's got to be meaningful –

 it's got to be telling us something about how the brain works.

 So we should be studying it and optimising it if there's a therapeutic benefit."

Oh, I agree. I tried them twice, once was just a fine ride of everything beautiful and shimmery, the trees and leaves breathing the air, the air breathing the tree, back and forth. The other, an experience impossible to describe, other than imagine yourself hanging on to a constellation by the leg to avoid getting pulled in to a black hole. Note to self, don't mix these with weed, vodka and sauna, and you will likely get experience number one. Mind opening, life altering. I can always remember the special shade of silver/gold ripple that delineated the positive/negative chiaroscuro of matter and ether, the yin and yang of life itself.
Where do I sign up? I need a new way of observing.
I know that my experience with schrooms was always a good experience. good stuff, the article, and schrooms and, what were we talking about? rated
ORYOKI: would love u to expand on
"an experience impossible to describe, other than imagine yourself hanging on to a constellation by the leg to avoid getting pulled in to a black hole"

yin yang. yes.

all is One.



PHYLLIS; go to london. these british boys gonna be strict.
you gotta emphasize the lows.
ah, a black pit, you gotta say.
smile & flirt. boys will

give ya schrooms..

all for science!



MMCAL;

i dunno what we=talkin about. dont u remember?
i dont...whaaaaaat was it?
I'm in favor of drugs.
NIck, well, that is something that will,
when u die, get u into heaven.

drugs, what is a drug?

we have two alternatives these days:synthetic
or natural. i opt for the latter.


i know of a fine english gentleman, aldous huxley,
who did his share of drugs.

he came out sane.

"At the core of the Perennial Philosophy
we find four fundamental doctrines.

First: the phenomenal world of matter
and of individualized consciousness —
the world of things and animals and men and even gods —
is the manifestation of a Divine Ground
within which all partial realities
have their being,
and apart from which they would be non-existent.

Second: human beings
are capable not merely of knowing about the Divine Ground
by inference;
they can also realize its existence by a direct intuition,
superior to discursive reasoning.

This immediate knowledge unites the knower
with that which is known."


this is way way old school, boys and girls.



Third: man possesses a double nature, a phenomenal ego and an eternal Self, which is the inner man, the spirit, the spark of divinity within the soul. It is possible for a man, if he so desires, to identify himself with the spirit and therefore with the Divine Ground, which is of the same or like nature with the spirit.
Fourth: man’s life on earth has only one end and purpose: to identify himself with his eternal Self and so to come to unitive knowledge of the Divine Ground.
I take a batch of magic mushrooms every day
they do not illuminate
so much as
lubricate
my mind
my body
places where only
love goes
maitake
chaga
reishi
blazei
turkey tail
zhu long
conk
etc
my favorite brew
rated with love
Lubrication, dear Romantic P, is the first step to Illumination.
And alas . illumination is not only a personal thing.
Once it has been reached, in half-or full-form,
Its injunctive is to be commucnicated.

And illumination consists of…acceptance.
The most difficult sell on earth, for it would destroy the economy & take us all back to primal roots never spoken openly of,
Only shown in metaphor, on our many projective screens (tv movie etc)
… the place of final grounding.

We skim over it, land there, fly again, distracted from the economic needlust.
We must learn to ignore this, but it is subtle………..
So at one time in my life we had access to brown Mexican mescaline. I never laughed so hard saw colors so vivid or reached so deep inside myself before or since those times. I still remember sitting with a friend who glowed across from me laughing and talking all night.
You know this really makes me think...
Ah Doc, I used to grow these in quart mason jars and ate them (or boiled to a 'tea' or cooked upon a steak), every weekend, twice even... sometimes. Takes some endurance to do consecutive nights.
Ultimately, I chose LSD... CLEAN LSD as my way to get 'there.' The 'shrooms have a certain toxic effect on the gut you see.
But, I know... I know
i'll have to take your word for the beneficial effects. i dabbled in more than one illicit substance, but hallucinogenics were off my list. i'm strange enough as it is. but i like reading about it when you write it, james!
I've always wanted to try 'shrooms. Maybe should before mandatory drug testing goes into affect this year. James, where did you find that photo of me?
unchlady…as long as it makes you think…
Remembering when u laughed..
Ah, it is not the best way, but it is often the only open way…
To trust in a substance…in order to feel right…briefly…and if this brief
Encounter becomes eternal, in your lifestory, then well, so be it, hah.

TR IG: I only pass along medicinal hints. Culled from thousands of patients I have cured. Some of them myself, surely…repeated performance of anything leads to spiritual ennui. And physical. I abhor & eschew such stuff………………….

Femme…no need for a gal like you to do these drugs. They are for adventurers who have no goal, no motive, no clue..that does not strike me as you, a centered woman.
firechick, when i need a photo to exemplify my wise words,
i will not stop till i have hacked & searched and
turned the Web upside down.
this is your best likeness,
i felt!
the image of firechick... well, sublime!
this isnt even a good likeness of firechick.
i had to dumb it down for us guys.
the true firechick woulda burnt
yer eyballs out, boyo!
Nice Polynesian-esque Photo example ... soft and smooth.

If anyone wants the fungus amongst us just come to where my family's from- East Maui. They are growing everywhere, all the time, all around here, if one would know where to look. Hint- the National Park is absolutely brimming with them ... and they grow on the path through a Bamboo Jungle ... Holo Holo (Travel Over) People in need!

Imua (Onward)
For eighteen straight years, every year on my birthday I traditionally ate shrooms. Not once did I have anything but an enlightened, fascinating, growth-filled time. The key is not to eat too many. My birthday's coming up in April... I think it's time to get back on the plan and see if I can scratch some up...
It is unnatural to not let in the Light.
I have never liked the light. Only tried drugs three times and they made me so damn depressed that was it.
HUGGGGGGGGG
The physiology of the brain is only the tip of the iceberg. I have taken my share of hallucinogenics in my time. My best friend ripped off a drug dealer of about 100, 000 hits of synthetic mescaline (yes it was real, not weak LSD) when I was only 18, we were taking it out of shot glass’s 30 or 40 hits at a time. LSD and MDA, I have done them all, but about 10 years ago I got my hands on some Magic Mushrooms and I must say it was deferent from the rest. The trip was weak, and I ate about a half ounce, when compared to good acid or mega doses of mescaline but it left me with a lasting feeling of invigoration, unlike the others. Its just to bad that the American people have allowed their government to crawl right up their ass’s. There is no telling what kind of benefits of nature we have been deprived of because some bored housewives had a problem with laudanum 100 years ago.
I've tried everything in my time, and psilocybin was by far the best of them all. By far. Odd thing is, they'll be popping up in abundance in another month or two in my backyard. They thrive in chicken shit. I have not done any in about 30 years, and have no desire - at the moment - to take advantage of the wealth that will soon be available just outside my door. If I lived alone it would be an entirely different situation.
I always enjoyed mushrooms. We used to pick them near the Vancouver airport years ago. Many fun times.
James, I am enjoying some M and Ms right now.

Do they count?
Hi, James. Having come of age in the ahem 70s, I have some experience with this lovely lifeform. I think that was when we ran out of peanut butter and peyote sandwiches.
I think MHold and I should go shrooming together and blog about it.
I saw that article too and posted on Facebook. No one seemed to take notice. Hallucinogens rock.
Good, revealing article. Depression is a beast...and has many, many treatments. While the "new" ones are seen as acceptable, the shrooms have been around for awhile.
Thanks for the tip angel of the good mood.

This all sounds very promising and I hope lots of people benefit from psilocybin research but as for "letting the light in" I think I'll just wait until I have to go to the light instead. I've gotten too comfy ever since I crossed over to the dark side.
Good Grief
I have never tried them
Hmm....I am always wary of mind-altering substances, so I can't weigh in here, but I'm not surprised there's still debate on whether or not they should/can be used in psychotherapy.
James, you crack me up. Glad you're looking out for the eye sight of our friends. Not everyone owns a welder's mask.
Dear Doct0r, Once in my youth (okay, maybe twice) I indulged but never again. It might have been the company I kept, I recall being the passenger in a tiny MGB driving down the highway at full speed thinking I was going to die. No fun. My advice is always (try at least) control your environment in these matters. These days, I find meditation can take you higher ...
