Psychedelic Phenomena LSD Psychedelic and hallucinogenic drugs explained

It was a vast old religion, greater than anything we know: more starkly and nakedly religious. There is no God, no conception of a god. All is god. But it is not the pantheism we are accustomed to, which expresses itself as “God is everywhere, God is in everything.” In the oldest religion, everything was alive, not super naturally but naturally alive. There were only deeper and deeper streams of l ife, vibrations of life more and more vast. So rocks were alive, but a mountain had a deeper, vaster life than a rock, and it was much harder for a man to bring his spirit, or his energy, into contact with the life of the mountain, and so draw strength from the mountain, as from a great standing well of life, than it was to come into contact with the rock. And he had to put forth a great religious effort. For the whole life effort of man was to get his life into contact with the elemental life of the cosmos, mountain-life, cloud-life, thunder-life, air-life, earth-life, sun-life. To come int

A consciousness catalyst? By  Steven Heivly  in  The Far Off Land An attempt at a philosophical evaluation of the hallucinogenic drug experience. By Dr. Eugene Seaich  ·  Edit doc  ·  Delete Writing, from the top of my head. From an idea .... Is LSD a consciousness catalyst? I think so. How? I do not know... but somehow. I always loved depictions of other worlds in movies, seemingly the heavenly ones (that I think are heavenly) actually turn out to be the dangerous and more hellish worlds, whereas the individual's consciousness is thrust more into a heavenly fight, with abundant meaning, purpose and life. I think of certain movies when I think of this, and in particular, the recent movie Sucker Punch. The girl (holding onto her hope and life) is thrust into an unimaginable situation where (holding onto her hope and life) is inevitably thrust into higher worlds, of which she becomes a powerful fighter and learns very deep knowledge very quickly. I guess LSD could b

176 Views Far Off Land An attempt at a philosophical evaluation of the hallucinogenic drug experience. It has seemed to me that the well-established properties of the hallucinogenic drugs might be well employed to enable us to explore this far-off land, which is in effect our subconscious mind. Eugene aims to bring together the perspectives of philosophy Hopefully with the immence background of anthropology, literature, comparative religion, the arts and psychology can someday be brought together with pyschotropic knowledge to better understand our consciousness to ultimately improve humanity cure mental illness and even solve lifes mysteries. Were we to learn its secrets, we would better understand our own desires, and the motives which drive us through life. Still better, the secrets of human history would perhaps be discovered as the eternal patterns of imagination which have shaped our spiritual existence. But perhaps most important of all, to penetrate the well of t

Music, of all human arts, is along capable of expressing the ineffible. Man has perceived the Harmony of the Spheres in the ecstasy which the concourse of sounds provokes in his soul. Everything which has been left unsaid is awakened by music, even at which poetry can only hint. But the traditions of music relates to music alone; no shapes in nature determine its character. It may become highly formal, but its habits are its own, and its essence that gave it birth; hence, it has spontaneously existed wherever there hes been emotion to invoke an audible response. Music thus falls "like drops of golden light" (Hesse), or erupts as a "high tree in the ear" (Rilke). Every mood, every inflection of sound, is reflected in visual sensations, the fragile tones in the showers of delicate crystal, the deeper ones in an ooze of creamy opalescence. With mounting sublimity, the inner vision beholds the majestic dance of life, swirling in a boundless rhythm
