Would anyone know anything about this plant? Ref: http://toptropicals.com/html/toptropicals/...les/special.htm (half way down) Cant find ethnobotanical info on it - besides the snip from the link. I have some here, but had no idea it could be used as a medicine. tia -

A friend in Germany has told me that Khat is being used as a recreational stimulant, but I had not heard of it. A quick check of SAB info shows that it is being sold, but not as dried leaf... so I have some questions. What are the differences between the various strains available? Is it not viable to sell dried material? Is there anything else about this plant that might be of interest? As always, my thanks -

Anyone going?

Taken from http://kaleidos.org.uk/home.htm This sounds to me like interesting work, but the insight of others would be appreciated.

I am not sure how much of the actual work is being referenced in these comments, but I cant help but feel that the point(s) have been missed. There seems to be alot more internal rationalisation about the heading, rather than critical speculation about the details. Perhaps the more lathargic readers could gaze at the summary pdf instead of diving into the guts of it. I found the ideas matched well with my own - but perhaps because I already had similar ideas about reality, and I am not a follower of mainstream media so I am willing to hear (or read in this case) the work of other thinkers. I have read alot of pseudoscience in my time by people that I consider to be great human beings (Jung, Watts - even some McKenna) that has convinced me that there is more value in pioneering work than the accepted wash of institutions (that means you Sagan!) This type of personal insight shows (me) the efforts of a man possesed by the need to understand, and the attempts to share that understanding with others - in other words, a man like me. The way I see it, these ideas lead one towards the doors of enlightenment - what ever that might be. Well, whos work is good enough to read then? Dr Seuss taught me alot as a youngster - but is he sanctioned today? What are the limits of simian experience anyway? Who can say? Peace peeps. -_-

I made some of this tea last night too! Although I spent 8 or so hours slow boiling the plant matter to extract the dark brown gue. I didnt know you could just plunge the plant material into hot water for a short time to get results. Hemia has a nice subtle effect, helping in meditation, mood elevation and general sense of well being IMO>.

I am glad you like wandjina! - although there are no others like this one. Objects like this are forged in the presense of what I now think is the Tao, and it is not always easy to coax co-operation. You can see some others at http://www.cyjack.com/meditation/Meditation.htm There are always new things to envision in these pics IMO. Theres something about causality that leaves an imprint on everything it touches... ^_^ much like a psychedelic perhaps?

My latest effort in expressing the unexpressible! Enjoy -

I am glad it can be reconstructed in peoples minds as something with an essense. Most of the time, objects of this nature require a pharmacological agent to bring them to life... IMO. ^_^

I dont mean to go against the grain here, as i dont think too much of Scientology or associated belief systems, but I have read Dianetics and it made alot of sense to me. I thought there was alot of insight in the work, so I absorbed the information and moved on, so to speak. It occurs to me that to have a belief is to have a closed door, and to have a strong belief is to have a locked door. Dianetics should not be ignored before it is understood, me thinks..

That second one was... erh.. stoner talk. ^_^

Some ideas came to me recently, and although I dont really have the artistic skills to bring them to real fruition, i thought someone else here might. Here is one of the ideas - If someone with some skill could polish this into a professional image, it would be really cool... The other idea, a more simple idea so I only have the catch line - 'Ban the Bomb, Free the Bong!' I have been thinking about the 'Flower Power' era recently... obviously.. ^_^

Sounds like the 'Zero Point' technique I like to use...

Well Gongrats! :saufen2: Whats say Violacea? ^_^

Isnt everything a creation of the mind? What is the heirarchy of the flowing information? I recall many many moons ago when the world was young, I accepted a small piece of thick paper into my being and waited for something to happen. Soon enough, I began to feel my mind shrinking, but because I was totally aware of what was happening, it was a very clear experience. As my mind shrank, I could feel it moving inside my being, and I could also *see* it from the outside with my earth eyes. As my mind got smaller, the world became bigger, and its compact dimensions (mind) made it possible to travel to places it normally could not... seemingly inside my body. When things returned to normal, my conclusion of the experience was that I had gone 'molecular'. End of short story. Conclusions? - What if these beings are parts of the human system that normally cannot be reached/communicated clearly with because of some incompatibility? What if these things are not so much creations of the mind, as representations of what it is perceiving? (based on the idea that to perceive something, it must have form/shape/texture/essense etc). Otherwise, I suspect that certain hallucinogens help to extend the spectrum of visible vibration, thus enabling what might appear as extra sensory perception. I have had another experience that points to this. I would like to see that!

I think that fish looks very believable... much more real than this one - http://giantology.net/videos/tsunami_giant.mov from http://www.giantology.typepad.com/ Sensational news seems to pay well - at the very least, they challenge our fixed views of the world perhaps -

That might explain why the experience has been difficult to duplicate - or so I have heard.

Now that I recall, a FOAF had strong clear hallucinations on two helpings of dark pink e's. Since the chemical is not normally hallucinogenic, could it be that she had come close to the toxic dose? (ld50) Can someone suggest what this 'toxic dose' is? Cheers-

If I had magic super powers I would create a dimensional rift outside of normal space time that I could visit at various points throughout my linear earth experience. Theoretically, on my first visit there I would be able to meet all my future selves who have visited there and this way i would be able to determine my future states as well as recall my past ones, in a never ending infinity.... Either that, or the ability to blow air through my fingers to summon a magical cloud on which I could travel to far away places and even to the house of Buddha herself.... oh wait - thats what smoking a doobie does already!

As it has always been perhaps. Who can raise their hand to claim discovery of a finite seperation? There has always been a strange need for ambiguity in the description of these things I think, and the better one can master the tool of language, the more exquisite one can make the murals on which these objects are presented to others. At least half of what Terence presents, at least to me, is a feast of linguistic possibilities, and I suspect that many of the people that went to hear him speak, were mesmorised by the way he weaved his particular magic. In some of the lectures he actually gets to this point - that what the people are receiving, are words. The elves I found were not so much presented as little green or blue creatures with or without wings, they came to me from a place so close to my own being that to deny them, was almost to deny myself. This is where it becomes a useless act to point them out to someone else, as it might be them doing the pointing... Interesting thread..

Personally, I was in almost constant contact with the elves (or at least my own interpretation of them) for a while a few years ago. They were several in number, and quite by accident (or so I assume) I found a way to communicate with them. From these epxeriences, I realised that they knew alot more than I was aware of, and we occaisionally went through 'tests' to see whether or not they informaiton they were passing on was valid. I always figured that these were the mythological lepricorns that lived at the end of a rainbow, and stored pots full of gold (me thinking that the metaphore for gold was used to describe the information) Othewise, isnt Irish folklore full of elves, fairies and the like? Wasnt Terence Irish?
