Voyaging to DMT Space with Rick Strassman

What up ya'll....I just got back from Camp Bisco, had to leave early to help out a friend, but it was a fantastic time...In the spirit of Sir Simon Posford and Divine Moments of Truth I wanted to share this article with everyone.

Reality Sandwich: Voyaging to DMT Space with Dr. Rick Strassman

This website, Reality Sandwich is a really cool community with many talented writers discussing some of the most interested aspects of our current space and time.

Dr. Rick Strassman is a clinical psychiatrist/zen buddhist practitioner/leading DMT researcher....aka total shredder.

He has done the only US government approved study on the effects of DMT and is starting up new work, especially regarding the effects of Ayuhuasca, which is termed as the mother of all healers.

If you have time, please do your self a favor and check out these links. Here I have posted on sendspace.com a pdf file of Strassman's first book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule....As well as a book by a native Peruvian shaman, or ayuhuasquero.

There is reason many of us have gravitated towards this. Let us not allow what happened in the sixties reoccur. There is a wonderful opportunity to let psychedelics emerge out of the dark, and its part of it lies in the responsibility that the psychedelic community wishes to take.

We are the future....In the words of Younger Brother, the world is ours.

Much love.

What is your city's walk score???

http://www.walkscore.com

And also I came across this today and tested it out. Yes gas prices are skyrocketing and i'm happy that someone is trying to make a point. BUT how accurate is this walkometer? It rated both my hometown Mount Prospect, IL and Fort Collins, CO the same : somewhat walkable. Let's just say my little NW Chicago suburb was constructed for automobiles, there aren't even sidewalks on any main roads, thus making it COMPLETELY unwalkable. Whereas the Fort we all know if walkable/bikable (that is if your purple bike doesn't get stolen from the side of your house). So great idea google or whoever is really flying on the wing of this masterpiece, but let's be realistic here at the same time. I don't doubt that San Fran is the most walkable though...too bad I can't afford to live there

A little love from Queestown, New Zealand

love

i've been thinking about love a lot the last couple of days and it keeps coming up in various forms in different conversations with people.   ideas about selfless vs selfish love and the different forms it can take, a friendly love, a love for someone you just met, a deeper love, family love, the list goes on and on.  also the importance of really being able to love yourself before you can truly love another.  the importance of being grounded and satisfied with yourself and the things that you are before you can branch out and start loving others.  like a tree must root down before it can grow up and out.  sometimes its much harder than it sounds and other times it seems to come so easily - just like all things in life.  

i wanted to take a moment to tell all of you how much you mean to me and to thank you all for the various forms of love you have both given to and received from me.  i feel such a pure, true, deep love for many of you that i have really come to understand and appreciate much more recently.  before i left, while i was gone, and during my return so many of you have been there for me in ways that i don't think you are even aware of and i want to acknowledge that.  i am so lucky to live the life that i do and so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people.  i guess what i'm trying to say is thank you for all that you are and everything that you do and for not only being a part of my life but also letting me be a part of yours.

i love you
