Just wrote down some thoughts on what I believe but managed to hit a random key and delete it.


So now I guess I'll focus on portions instead of an all incompassing narrative.



I have had many great experiences with psychedelics. I have shared thoughts and merged with others. I have glimpsed the birth of the universe from the back of a pick up truck. Despite the revelations and insights I have gotten I always return to the state we call life on earth. The most profound choices I have made have come from following my intuition. Doing things because I was compelled to do so. I am a firm believer in love at first sight. You just know it. There are no doubts or second guesses. Following these compulsions is what makes us individuals. Defining our tastes makes the world more interesting for others. We have the capability to make things "perfect" for ourselves. That of course requires a sense of knowing yourself, no one can give it to you.


So what is or purpose here on earth? I believe we are all interconnected parts of a vast organism. The organism is the universe. I believe we have the role of observers. We are able to examine our world in minute detail as well as see distant galaxies. Perhaps we are the sensory organs of this organism. We explore and report back our findings. We also possess the power of language which allows us to pass our knowledge through generations. Instead of living in a world of animal emotion we have constructed a maze of words we cannot fully understand. Unlike a bee hive each individual in our society can pursue the role they choose. Although some may be more suited to labor, they can still become queen if they desire.


So now we have a conundrum. Our greatest strength is also our greatest weakness. Most people feel disconnected with the world. They have family and friends but everyone else is a "stranger". Race, culture and nationality help to divide us from each other. Ideally we should all work for everyone else and what we desire will come to us naturally. A worker bee that takes off on his own won't make it. Humans need each other in order to survive. Early man would have never survived if he thought he could go it alone. Banishment from the community was a death sentence.


I'll ramble on more later.
