One who has the grace to show you what's possible with the help of a chemical substance, and one who then wants you to achieve those states without it? A god who wants to provide us with therapeutic tools for healing, but not rely on them completely? If we could take a pill and never come down, it would be too easy now wouldn't it? We should be thankful that there exists a way to at least glimpse these states of consciousness, giving us the confidence that they can be reached without the short-cut of drugs...
we need duality to be able to identify anything. we need to see the highest highs and lowest lows before we can *choose* to go with love, not because we can't conceptualize anything else, but because we know it's up to us. eventually you'll love the comedown as much as you love the high because you'll know you can't have one without the other. then you'll be able to transcend both . btw i don't know how alexander shulgin would feel about being called a god. ...kidding, i know what you mean.
if god placed us in this world, he made sure that there were a lot of fuckin horrible things for us to see, so that we may be transfixed on the afterlife as an escape from all the horrors of Earth. No natural state is equatable to ecstacy high. But it sort of represents heaven - full of love, pleasure, comfort, and meaning. So asking why god wouldnt allow us to stay high forever.. well it sort of ruins god's plan of getting us to fear for our viscera. It would be like allowing humans to be in heaven for their life on earth, in which case they would not develop the desire for an escape from this world.
If you felt like that all the time, you would never eat, sleep or have sex. Well, you might have sex but orgasming would be damn hard if at all possible. And besides with the not eating thing, I doubt that's the most of your concerns. So, the human race would die off pretty darn quickly Think about it.. if we didn't have something to DREAM about, we would never GO anywhere, capeche?
Dude, did God even INVENT ecstasy? Or is it synthetic? Certainly doesn't grow from the ground...that's about where my knowledge of it ends.
in terms of ecstacy being 'invented' by 'god', or what I would have to assume in this context, growing from the earth. I like the one mckenna quote "Everything is natural, just some thing are less intelligent than others"
I have to agree 100%. It's like nothing else when you're on E. But the days after.... Jesus Christ... I'm just glad I have self-control. If I didn't, I would've called up a friend by now and rolled as I type this. I've never bought the "mental addiction" from weed, but I can see it from E.
morphine, cocaine, cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms are god made. lsd, ecstasy, ketamine, methamphetamine are man made.
LSD was sent to us by angels! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!! fuck that, whether lsd is manmade or not, that shit is heavensent!
