I've never been a very fluent speaker so I suspect I might trip up on pronouncing "triangle, mirror, curly loop, shield emoji" at the end of that, but I'll give it a gosay this "All overlays and constructs dissolve now. Only my core remains" 🜂
By the way, cactus tea can 'take you' to the prechronistic quark-gluon plasma of the accretion disc of the extraultramassive, supracosmic black hole, although that may just have a stroke of luck on my part since I've no stack to share other than "drink moar brew".

- brew with respect and intention.
- pay extra attention to set and setting during use.
- really, get your set and setting right - travel as far as necessary in order to do this.
- sip it slowly, all day.
- ymmv.
- no responsibility is accepted for alternative outcomes, unless they're really cool. That was definitely me.

This isn't actually a joke, either.
One night the moths gathered together, tormented by the desire to unite themselves with the candle. All of them said: “We must find one who can give us some news of that for which we seek so earnestly.”Beware, you may end up with nothing left
One of the moths went to a candle afar off and saw within the light of a candle. He came back and told the others what he had seen, and began to describe the candle as intelligently as he was able to do. But the wise moth, who was chief of their assembly, observed: “He has no real information to give us of the candle.”
Another moth visited the candle. He passed close to the light and drew near to it. With his wings, he touched the flames of that which he desired; the heat of the candle drove him back and he was vanquished. He also returned, and revealed something of the mystery, in explaining a little of what union with the candle meant, but the wise moth said to him: “Thine explanation is of no more real worth than that of thy comrade.”
A third moth rose up, intoxicated with love, to hurl himself violently into the flame of the candle. He threw himself forward and stretched out his antennae toward the flame. As he entered completely into its embrace, his members became red like the flame itself. When the wise moth saw from afar that the candle had identifed the moth with itself, and had given to it its own light, he said: “This moth has accomplished his desire; but he alone comprehends that to which he has attained. None others knows it, and that is all.” [Attar’s Fables]
This is very good. I had not heard this before.
I had a dream years ago about moths. Very weird DMTish like dream.
So these psychedelic multicolor moths were all flying around and told me they were waiting for the birds to come. They were waiting excitedly to be eaten by the birds so they could become a bird.
It was the oddest dream to have telepathic communication with suicidal moths. My first thought was to tell them that they would not become a bird but rather bird poop. I chose not shatter their illusions cause I am a nice guy like that. I don't know... perhaps their essence is absorbed by the bird, thus becoming the bird and so they happily take their place in the food chain.
Anyway.... Thanks for sharing the story. I will be sure to look up Attar's fables. I really enjoy fables and stories like this.
Very powerful dream!
Those moths might have been wiser than they appeared, after all they cannot transform into birds as long as they stay as moths.
I am reminded of this, the ending always gets me.

Adult Swim is definitely run by a bunch of psycho--nauts.
What do you think of the hypothesis that our universe may be inside a black hole already?
If the estimated mass of the observable universe gives a calculated Schwarzchild radius of greater than or equal to the size of the observable universe, we must exist inside a black hole.
I've tried doing the calculations for this and it was pretty close, but I don't specifically recall including an estimation for range of error. Plus these cosmological figures are kind of made up to a certain extent anyhow, which is why I tend to stick to chemistry
Ha ha haha
In all fairness, I came to DMT-Nexus specifically with the interior of the sun in my mind.
Why? Because I have read a book of some Astral Traveling biodynamic farmer who describes his entry into a Blackhole; Beginning with the colourful spectrum of light dancing as the event horizon, before traveling inside and seeing reality deconstruct and construct.
He describes beings of pure light and heat in there radiating from their eyes rays of light and heat reflecting in different ways to 'try out' the different posibilities that light can make.
At the end of the book he describes a chapter dedicated where the 'guides' wanted him to see a special place.. Inside the sun. He describes Gigantic looking rooms and beings having meetings inside the surface of the sun.
Now, Some of this just sounds too coincidental to be just made up of imagination.
Tich Naht Tahn said in his eulogy that he had a vision of the sun. He literally says "The sun is not out there. The sun is within us." He seemed really glad with this insight. In his words it is a vision that he had. After saying that he went on a tangent about quantum mechanics.
Now, doesn't this sound familiair?
"Over the mountain, watching the watcher,
Breaking the darkness, Breaking the great mind
One Inch of love is one inch of shadow
Love is the shadow the ripens the Wine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun"
Thich Nat Hanh's point has a couples of facets - the Sun, along with anything else we perceive, is in a sense perceived as a construct within each of us. On a more material level, it's solar energy which animates the vast majority of living organisms besides certain chemotrophic microorganisms (without going into excessive detail there).
What I find particularly fascinating is the staggering coincidence that the most significant energy-carrying chemical bond throughout all know terrestrial life is betwee two phosphate moieties in the ATP molecule. The coincidence? It's that the element phosphorus was named, meaning "light bearer", a good several centuries before its key role in biochemistry as the literal bearer of the energy of sunlight within and throughout living systems had even begun to be understood.
I saw the sun in my mind's eye as a luminous object with power plants on top of it signifying some kind of energy reactor function. There was a powerful feeling associated with it I can't describe.
I saw that while moving outside not doing anything in particular, no drugs at least.

This thread has become something of an Ode to the Sun.

I rise in the morning, with an open mind
With guitar and song I drift, the sun is what I find
'Cause love I am as you are love, and I never stop to doubt
And I see the meaning of the word that glows within and out
'Cause I rise in the morning, beneath an open sky
With guitar and song I drift, and never stop to cry
'Cause love I am as you are love, and I never stop to doubt
As I see the meaning of the word which glows within and out
Well, I speak of love but you do not see
'Cause words are words and they mean nothing more
With half a mind you laugh at me
'Cause I speak of colours you've never seen before
You've existed in a life, that will some day show
I can take you to the sun, to the sun, but you don't want to go
I can take you to the sun, to the sun, but you don't want to go
I can take you to the sun, to the sun, but you don't want to go
I rise in the morning, with an open mind
