Namaste
As the title of this new post suggests, once upon a time I heard about, "The power of the Universal Mind." How new and exciting it sounded. I haven't ever been the same again. The gist of The Secret supposedly granted sentient beings the power to create their life in any way he or she saw fit. The vehicle for this miraculous change in consciousness was thought. Hence, I want happiness, I think happiness, and by the collective power of the Universe happiness will truly manifest itself in my life. The Secret quickly lost flavor in my mouth because people were thinking too much about monetary gain, and not about happiness. I care nothing for money, and while I agree that money is the root of all evil, after studying cultures, sociology, psychology, and my own feelings, I have discovered that money isn't the root of all evil, it's what people will do to procure money. They lie, cheat, steal, and devise schemes by any means necessary to get said money. That is appalling. Like what Mr. Ulbricht did with his Silk Road endeavor.
Now a disclaimer: I'm not Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Atheist, A History Professor, a Psychonaut, a shaman, a hippy, an artist, a writer, or any other generic title that would hint at my academia. I'm a complex individual from biological birth, and I love obtaining knowledge from as many modes, mediums, and learning mechanisms as possible.
That being said, I have never had an experience with DMT, LSD, Salvia, or the vast array of research chemicals that produce hallucinogenic properties, visions, euphoria, or dreams. My experimentation with Cannabis, Amphetamines, Disassociatives, stimulants, and prescription medication barely scratched the surface of what I hoped to gain from administering them. I was ill-educated and young to boot when I tried psylocibin for the first time, and it only made me laugh uncontrollably for 3 hours. That was 13 years ago. Now I am a middle-aged, blue-collar man with child support payments, and a thirst for spirituality that no water will slake.
I believe in honesty, liberty, and the pursuit of understanding. My research, diligence, and pure intent guided me through a multitude of websites, forums, articles, journals, program downloads, strange emails from unknown sources, and more anxiety than I ever imagined. I mean I actually emailed an ad from a website offering scheduled RC's that could kill me. I praise everything Holy that I never followed through with an order. Forget the legality of what these ads were alluding to, but RC's are vastly dangerous things, man! I could have died. So I abruptly ceased all research. For a while. Pretty soon, the hunger for the missing link in my life pushed me to want something different, profound, exotic, and fulfilling to the nTH degree. So I started playing video games. BLECH!
While surfing youtube one day, I saw a video titled "The_______ Molecule(ommitted out of respect). I thought, "...interesting," so I clicked: there was Joe Rogan, yeah Fear Factor, baby, I dug that show. But his message wasn't about the next UFC contender. As far on the opposite spectrum as one could get. I've watched it numerous times since. Strassman is a genius, but also very uneducated himself it seems, by his own admission.
Yesterday, I awoke with new purpose, drive, intent, emotion, and power. I'm hooked, and I haven't even consumed DMT. I am the kid in the candy store before finding the golden ticket, Alice staring down the rabbit hole, and Milo looking at the Phantom Tollbooth(god that was a great story). My heart, intentions, and drive to learn how to be spiritual are absolute. I want to believe. In something.
The Universal Mind brought me here.
Suggestions, thoughts, random comments, advice, rants, critiques, and any variable innuendo will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for this lengthy post, but I owe it to the veteran members to be as accurate as I may.
Oh, one more thing. My account handle has no meaning except it sounded catchy.
Thank you in advance
