the only thing coke has ever done for me was make me want to do more.. and i don't really enjoy that feeling.
ayahuasca can't hurt.... but ibogaine has a VERY good reputation for helping with addiction... its illegal in the states, but i've seen one or two sites in canada or other countries that seem like they'd ship iboga root here, buyer's responsibility....
Im sure I would be suprised Stalk, but I honestly think my preconceptions and thought patterns are so powerfully attached that I am currently unable to break through. It's a pain, being so close to moksha, yet so many light years away. I know the closest I've come to shedding many things, including addiction, was during a trip on 3 tabs of LSD and a 1/4 of liquid psilocybin, and even after that trip, jeez I think I ate morphine when I the sun woke up so that I could have the energy to take care of my son. To be honest, and I dont mean to offend what your belief's may be, but I do not have much respect for shamans nor shamanism but it's because it's a very simple process to me, one that I dont believe requires the use of psychedelic drugs. Yogi's have been healing and guiding for thousands of years completley sober, and to me, being purged from a psychedelic does nothing but clean the mind of the novice in ordre that they go ahead and actually purge themselves by future actions and life choices. A sort of placebo, if you will. Of course I may be wrong as I have not tried DMT yet, but out of the mushroom trips I've had, which brought me closer to God and death than I could ever imagine, I still come back and realized how pointless all of it is, and how my drug use does not actually matter because since it's happening, it's happening, and I will stop when Im ready, on my own accord. Which believe me I realize is very naive and wishful thinking but hey, it's how my mind works when I need to trick myself into justifying my actions. Anyway, the other beef I have with shamanism is that though I believe in Nature spirits, it is a roadblock for me in my embracing Mother Nature as the Mind of all faeries and demons, and to stop and look and say "Hey spirit, what's good girl?" is fine, but to practice rituals and dances and drug induced purging, to me, is a road block. I mean believe me, I've had my contacts with spirits and faeries, and it is definitley wonderful, but Im of the impression that the demons we behold are nothing more than manifestations of our own minds, collectively, just as the multiverses themself are nothing more than manifestations of God's dream matter, collectively. I kind of defeat my own purposes with my stubborn thoughts, and this is why I view spiritual healing as a placebo. Take it for what you will, it's just the way, my mind is wired, right now. Maybe I had a neuarl path pile up on the highway to my Ajna :tongue: Namaste
Cool I didnt want to assume that you supported that kind of thing, so I was careful in how I worder my post. Now I know a girl who took part in a peyote session, sitting around the fire on a reservation beating drums, and that to me is cool. But as soon as some dude starts telling me what to think, as if he had the power to hold my hand and lead me, I would probably start laughing. Us solo psychnauts dont need to be told where to go, because we already know that all paths lead to the same destination. It doesnt matter how you arrive, that is personal and to have another take you on their own path is fine, but not for me.
I have -- years ago. Made me sick as hell, then just really, really out of my mind for what seemed like an eternity.
ah, well, alright. I still dig their poetry. It's like a long lost sutra that makes so much damn sense.
