Why does the nexus feel it can police the internet?
"Police the Internet" is technically a poor choice of words, since this community has no power to enforce it's will. As you succinctly put it, "the Nexus cannot control", as there is no law broken by that fellow. Or has one? Is this name copyrighted? This person, whoever he is, has crossed a moral line here.
IS IT YOU? Still, a fundamental spiritual and/or universal law has, indeed, been broken and it is a simple case of
hijacking a community's
collective identity. Besides, who will take the heat if these pages get noticed by extremist, anti-psychedelic personages?
The members of this community, that's who. He/you could have at least had the originality to create his/your own name, without latching on to this one. Also, discrete links to this site (with confirmed permission) could still be included. That being said, it should be linked as of courtesy, not as a sugar-coated form of
kidnapping!!! For those responsible for all the work that goes into creating and maintaining a website like this, it is a rude slap in the face and frankly, most uncivilized.
Why is all I ask! Why does the nexus collectively feel it can censor the internet? I can assure the nexus, the owner, the mods, and the grumpy chemists here, that not only have I continually been extracting dmt, giving it out, and spreading the word about it in everywhere way, shape, and form. That I have also been actively subverting every possible course of action the nexus takes in censoring this information.
Thanks a lot for your sensitivity. Have you considered subtlety? And who are you, to object to the author of this organization being offended at such rank plagiarism? Please let me draw an example for you, brother. I am a poet, albeit a very mediocre one. I want to glean attention to my musings, however, so I change my name to Walt Whitman and publish my new book,
Leaves of Grass. Need I say more? Why does this character hitch his wagon to this star? He can still link to this site but he should be an honorable soul and listen to the perspective of the "owner, some mods and grumpy chemists" who have labored to bring this website to the light of day. I honor Traveler and respect his rights. It is not a case of censorship, it is a case of the truth. Yes, I said
"truth". Even a good idea, with grand intentions, cannot be justified if it is based on a deception. So this issue raised, is therefore a form of lying, since it implies a definite connection to this organization (as in a consensual agreement or mutual exchange). And we all know that is not the case. :x
This is more than just a mission, a quick idea that came and went, this is now been elevated into a life calling; a final goal; the end all of end alls if you will. Please read this quote with great sincerity, and apply it to what I was just speaking about!
"Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control."
"Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviours are acceptable."
Good for you, brother! I agree with you philosophically, on a number of your points and conceptions. Still the issue of
IDENTITY is key, here. Work out the details, on your own, so you can stand before God and the entire universe as a free man, acting on his own agenda and inspiration. I am a musician but I would never, never, never... name my band
The Beatles. Why not... if it serves my purpose? Other than the legal issues raised in the matter, it is vile and reprehensible to attempt to glean attention from the
identity of others. From the stance of fair-play alone, plagiarism is dishonest and this is identity theft, plain and simple! I can see that you are sincere and most passionate about your beliefs and I applaud your convictions. But you've got to
stand on your own two feet. Any one of a thousand and one names can be imagined, so be yourself (regardless of the Cosmic law that we are all the same ONE SELF, on this side of the Looking Glass, we are individuals and should ideally act with dignity and truth). Again, another non-truth, is that these pages encourage
"distribution", which is
NOT encouraged by DMT-Nexus. OK? :evil:
You can attempt to censor me, you can attempt to quiet me. You can try to slow me down but you will never stop me from spreading the word.
Good day all.
P.S. - Is 214 friends on facebook enough? I proclaim no!
Your phobia about resisting the forces of
Antidisestablishmentarianism is getting in your way, man. Love is more powerful that indigence, after all. I am beginning to suspect that you have not had a breakthrough experience, have you? It certainly changes one for the better and cultivates both, heart and compassion. Have some compassion for this identity crime and listen to your brothers and sisters,here. Don't be so contrary towards "the owner, some mods and grumpy chemists". Relax, breathe and come up with your own group name and identity. Please respect the fine job that these beautiful souls have done and have show some heart. Hey, I'm nobody special and I don't presuppose to lecture you without just cause. But I do want to communicate this message to you r whoever is responsible for the kidnapping. I am of the same substance and essence, as the light reflecting off the surface of a teardrop or the empty expanse between moments passing. We are one. One with all sentient life forms. In light of our oneness, I/we/all... humbly ask you to release the stolen/appropriated identity. Here are a couple quotes right back at you:
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Or should we say, "chrysanthemum" instead?
"In giving, is receiving."
So, please do the right thing and give back what you have taken, thus receiving our collective gratitude.
Walk in harmony with God, brother mckenna.
Peace, love and Light
