Yawning Man

I'm interested to know how you got on with this project dude. I did my first ever float the other weekend and found it very therapeutic. I'd love to have my own private tank to use whenever. I admire the ambition and ingenuity of your undertaking. Let us know!

I'm pretty sure I came to one of these camps. In fact I think it might have been you that I was fishing with on the bank of the river and there was a little microbat fussing about.

I must admit, I've had nangs with a really nice mescaline brew and the visuals were some of the most psychedelic I have EVER had. First time with nangs and proper MDMA I was literally writhing in pleasure. I have been meditating pretty steadily as well these past few weeks and I actually find certain breathing techniques feel very close to a light Nang dose. Nangs definitely have that blissful, fading of the lines of consciousness that meditation can offer but at a fraction of the time and effort . They're addictive as fuck but can be a lot of fun. Everything in moderation and while they might not be for some people I can respect those that enjoy a sesh. Just as long as they're properly disposed of.

Also if anyone is interested there has been a pretty remarkable uptick in UFO/UAP activity around US airbases in the UK. The leading theory seems to revolve around the moving of bombers with the capability to carry nuclear bombs into the UK, possibly due to the war in Ukraine. There has been countless videos being uploaded onto YouTube as well as pilot and civilian witnesses of these craft/lights.

It's so cool that this stereotypical image of the greys is reflected in Australia aboriginal cave paintings that are over 4000 years old. These images are said to depict the Wandjina, creator beings that created the earth, humans and animals the laws of our world and are believed to still monitor and be involved with this planet. There's a number of older renaissance paintings depicting the birth of Christ with craft painted into the background that could easily be described as UFOs. This phenomenon really seems to have existed for almost as long as humans have existed.

Hello everyone, It has been a long time between posts. This might seem like a bit of a weird way to reintroduce myself to the forums, but I am on somewhat of a journey to understand a recent experience I had with a UFO. I say UFO, although this was the culmination of a period of 'experiences' that included dreams with a very tangible essence to them, UFO sightings, and recalled memories. This period ended with a sighting in Colac in Victoria at my mum and dad's. I was locking up the shed at approximately 6:30-6:45 at night; it was just past dusk when, standing at my car, I looked up and saw two lights next to each other—not too dissimilar to the collision lights of a plane's wings. Watching it, the two lights (one white, one blue) grew brighter and brighter and joined to become one larger, orange, golden-tinted light. It reached its peak brightness, dimmed down to become the two lights again, and faded completely, leaving me unable to see it anymore. I checked flight radar, but nothing was logged. I know some planes fly without transponders, but it was a quiet night, and this thing was silent. The night was still, and there was minimal atmospheric noise such as traffic, wind, etc. Stranger still was how I felt in the preceding days and weeks. It felt like a genuine mystical experience. I felt as though I had been through the most profound and pure mushroom experience of my life, mixed with the euphoria of MDMA. I felt connected to EVERYTHING. I was (and am still) so grateful for my life. Researching UFO experiences, I've learned that people often report feelings of elation. Naturally, this led me down a rabbit hole of podcasts, interviews with researchers, experiencers, investigative journalists, etc. The rabbit hole goes deep. It led me to the audiobook of DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Dr. Rick Strassman. Rick speculates about the possible connection between the UFO phenomenon and the experiences reported by the study participants. Although he was unfamiliar with the phenomenon at the time, he says that having prior knowledge may have helped contextualize the experiences of the participants. He references John E. Mack, who worked with abductees. John’s work in particular with the witnesses of the Ariel School event is worth exploring, even for the die-hard skeptic. I love Ricks writing style and many of his theories and insights into this molecule really resonate. I'm waiting on his book DMT and the Soul of Prophecy. Maybe it's nothing but his idea of theoneurology, to me, feels like it's right on the money. I'm excited to read it. Having my own experience, I find it interesting that it has brought me back into the fold of psychedelics—those plants and fungi that initially helped me develop my sense of spirituality and my place in the cosmos. I was always of the attitude that DMT would find me when I was ready. But now I think I'm ready to take the initiative and explore what this molecule has to offer me, with the hope that I might be able to learn more about these experiences, why I'm having them, and if there is indeed an extraterrestrial aspect to them. So that is more or less why I'm here: a rekindling of my interest in psychedelics as tools for spiritual development and personal growth. I'm wondering how I would go about finding an Ayahuasquero in Australia, or a shaman who works with plant medicine? I thought this would be a good place to start, perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction in terms of websites, communities. When's the next Entheogenisis conference? I do understand that there might be a concern for the mods here that I am essentially asking for guidance on finding a medicine who's legal status in this country is still a work in progress so please, let me know and I'll edit it out asap. I'm happy to answer any questions about any of my experiences. To be honest I'm still in the midst of processing it all and integrating it all. Which again is where I think I might find some assistance in Aya. It's good to see this little community still ticking along 🙏

Listening to a Joe Rogan interview with Duncan Trussell they brought up a series of pictures with a happy bunny. The prompt was for chatgpt to create a picture of a happy bunny. Every iteration the prompt was to make it happier and happier and happier. It's worth a look because the final image is kinda mind blowing.

Thanks mate

Hey man Very helpful buddy. Really appreciate it. I've been out of the loop for so long I wasn't sure what was fair. Cheers Edit: $10-$30 per CM in diameter?

Hello Selling a few of my seed grown Lophs if anyone is interested. They're roughly 4-5 yrs old. As far as I know they're Williamsi but I could be wrong. Selling at $30 per CM plus postage. I'll upload a photo and people can edit the photo to place a dot or something over the plant they would like. The numbers over the plants is the size in mm Thanks gang. Yawning Man

Heya Crop. Yeah, i'm really feeling as though Community Services is not for me. There are definitely days and clients that make it feel as though it's worthwhile, but these are far and few between. I'm calling around to a few local construction companies and carpenters to gauge their openness to having a free labourer. Also looking at doing a white card course to get a leg up. Thanks for the response man. Keep up the amature wood working man!!

Hello Sabbers Gee it's been a while. Haven't posted in forever but have been lurking somewhat. I apologise that it's also out of self serving interest that i'm back. For the past 5 years i've been working in Community Services, namely with the homeless and i'm starting to feel a bit burnt out. I started a new role last year back in August and since then my interest in this industry has plummeted. It's got to the point now where i'm on stress leave (also due to a heap of shit at home) and contemplating a career change. I love the practicality of carpentry and have been researching into the business quite a bit and would like to get feel for the day to day stuff. Just how physical it is, if i have an aptitude for it, if I come home likely what i have done that day etc. So,i'm putting some feelers out to see if there are any chippies here (that are near me, bit of a stretch I know) that might want to put me on for a day or two so I can get a sense if it's for me. I want to be sure about this before I commit to an apprenticeship and lower wages for 3-4 years. Alternatively maybe you guys know of someone who might be open to the idea. Or any tradies within other professions that work close to chippies and have some insight on the industry? Anyway, it's great to see the forums are still being utilised and have a community around them. Sighting lots of old names from when i was much more active which it cool. Hope you're all well and the gardens looking sweet! YM

Huloo I have four 30cm cuts of Yowie for sale. 80 cents per cm plus postage. I only cut them yesterday so will need a week to callous before sending. Cheers
