hi everybody i thought some of you would enjoy this photo. If this isn't god/the great spirit or whatever the fuck it is telling us we should trip then i don't know what is. peace
Thats very interesting... Kinda reminds me of "The Name of the Rose"... Back then they did intentionally infect bibles with poison.... Because they didnt want the commoner to have knowledge..And licking the finger of oneself to change the pages is a common practice...... Fuck that id just eat the whole book in this case....
Yeah i just randomly found it on the net, and yeah i do believe they are psilocybin. I honestly think if god is concious of the human race then he really wouldn't care about us tripping. I mean everything has to come from nature at some point, and if god was against drugs he wouldn't have left pot growing everywhere haha...ok i stole that last bit from bill hicks but yeah, you get my point. Maybe entheogens are gods way of letting us get closer to him or closer to understanding what he is. peace p.s. i referred to god as 'he' because it was easier than writing he/she/it
these etheogens could be concidered living gods... So the answer is yes these etheogens were ment for consumption.........Jesus is Another Fun Guy to be with... lol......
Thats some crazy shit right there man...Everyone has their own idea about what/who "god" is. How does that happen to the book, if it were to sit in a dark basement and get leaked on is it possible to do that? How cool would it be if you could do that with other old bibles and it would always work! thats some shit right there man...think about it!
I have never heard the concept of god not being concious (aware) of the human race mentioned before. I like the sound of that. My issues with the monotheistic omnipotent God theory that I was indoctrinated with in my childhood stem from my inability to relate to an all-knowing, all-powereful, invisible entity. In older cultures, polytheistic deities had human strenghths and weaknesses projected upon them, making them much more understandable and easy to relate to. The Judeo Christian model of a God who created man in his own image, yet has no faults himself is fundamentally flawed, I think. Tell me more about your thoughts on a god who is unaware of the human race, if you have any, this is interesting stuff.
hi everybody Sheerwackiness: Hmm i haven't really given it much thought. You know, you hear people saying things like reality is just someones dream. Maybe god is unaware that he is god and just trumps along in life like everybody else. I agree with what you said about the idea of an all-knowing, all-powerful god creating an imperfect race but being perfect himself is flawed. In my opinion god can't be perfect if he creates a race that fights wars over what they think he is, or persecutes others for not believing in him or whatever. The concept of god is a massive one and i haven't given it much thought, but i'll do some thinking and pm you if you want? peace
In older, ancient cultures including those that survive to this day, smoking hashish, ganja, etc., is part of their tradition whether it is part of religious ritual or simply as pastime. Why is it, that modern society, particularly Western and Christian, frowns upon the practice and declares it illegal? The answer is hypocrisy and stupidity on those who make the laws that define what is legal and what is illegal.
It's called entheogens my friend. There is still in america some native american tribes that are allowed to eat mescaline as part of their religious experience. I would recommend to all reading Aldous Huxleys the doors of perception about his mescaline trip in the 1950's I believe it was. and then read heaven & hell also by him. When I bought it they both came in the same book. Heaven & Hell deals a lot with meditation and spiritual beliefs.
Yes, but what I'm saying is, that our established society today, still basically frowns upon these things. I don't think you can easily purchase some mescaline in some corner convenient store, but you sure can purchase liquor, tobacco, cigarettes, etc. The establishment and society is all about hypocrisy.
and it's sad people frown upon this because they don't know the potential psychedelics have. They think it's just a whole bunch of indians who rather trip and get high, instead of drinking....I mean god forbid people open their eyes, and maybe learn something about the other people that live on this amazing planet with them. Actually if more people weren't so close minded, and could see things from all POV's it'd be an even more amazing planet.
Yeah, I'm always interested in hearing about other's thoughts on spirituality, I'm a spiritual athiest, and tend to try to extract wisdom from spiritual texts and doctrine, rather than believing in stuff. Does that make sense? Anyway, yeah I'd apreciate pms to explain what you're thinking about.
IF god is in control of everything and all knowing, then he created all natural drugs with the awareness that humans will take them to get high. This leaves only two logical options: god created us in this way with the intent that we would be able to get high and he condones this (just as he assumedly condones all of the things he does), OR God placed drugs and other things in this world to test us. Humans are not allowed to test him, the whole world is just a big game
this is whate i found on the net :santa: Most people see Christmas as a Christian tradition. However, many of the symbols related to Christmas are derived from much older Pre-Christian practices from Northern Europe. Many of these people considered Amanita muscaria to be sacred. Most of the major symbols related to Christmas (flying reindeer, christmas trees, gift giving, santa claus, etc) are probably based on the traditions surrounding the harvest and consumption of Amanita muscaria mushrooms. (reference 5) In 1970, John Marco Allegro published a book called the mushroom and the cross. The theme of the book is that Christianity and Judaism are based on a cult whose god was Amanita muscaria. In fact, (the book goes on to claim) Jesus Christ was the personification of Amanita muscaria. John Marco Allegro thought the cult was secretive in its writings and he made interpretations that are difficult to follow and verify, but the book is interesting.
