Yes, the ideas fall into that hazy commercial zone between clinical research and self-help lore, but since it's a lot more practical to apply self-help to daily life and daily practice, I figured it was worth passing the meme along. And the oppurtunity to mention the importance of luck in the quest for meaning was well-nigh irresistable, hahhaha. May we all be lucky, or at least as lucky as we can handle. John, what a pleasant surprise, both the synchronicity and just hearing from you again after all the years.

If you are going to promo hawkins books you should pick a post that's a bit more in line with their kind of content to place short and essentially commercial oneliner "comments" into. But because, who knows, perhaps for some person the Hawkins stuff, as specialized and idiosyncratic as it is, will be the bootsrap they can use to get themselves from one problem to another, I'll leave one link up. Anyway, as to how old, probably about 8000 years old, give or take 500 years. You know what the interesting question is - it's this - where are the original photos and negatives of the most famous photos of that mural, and can they be examined using modern technology in a way that produces better quality images of the wall as it was freshly uncovered with the least damage and aging?

]]> Comment on LSD as Therapy? Write about It, Get Barred from US by Kenneth Jeffrey Slem http://www.telesterion.com/lsd-as-therapy-write-about-it-get-barred-from-us.htm/comment-page-1#comment-59385 Kenneth Jeffrey Slem Wed, 31 Dec 2008 21:11:40 +0000 http://www.telesterion.com/lsd-as-therapy-write-about-it-get-barred-from-us.htm#comment-59385 LSD has always been medicinal for me. And boy I'd like to get me some. the first time was when I was 14 I was working for CETA a government program for the less incomed familys. I worked with other boys my age two days out of the week in the forest maintaining horse and hiking trails. On the third day we would go to a park and enjoy the day with pay. It all came as a suprise. Mom drove me to spot where the bus would pick me up. Some other boys on the bus had it and I bought a 4 way hit of purple pyramid. I forgot that I was suppose to divide it and took the whole thing. It was magic that day as it has always been when experiencing quality LSD. I believe it is important to have a good mind to begin with to have a transforming, life changing experience. Life is about change and LSD with it's intense spiritual experience is a God send. If man doesn't get in the way to stop it. What LSD does for me well I can remember while on the bus looking down at the rubber grooved pathway and part of the lines would be going toward the front of the bus while the other part would be heading in the other direction. Trails from moving one's hand,etc, also I feel like the environment is one organism and I am in it. Everything is alive and fluid. A very good thing for the brain that is stuck almost in concrete with it's thought process and it's many reactions and desires. Thought does stop with good LSD. There may be uncontrolable laughter, such a good medicine adding to spontonaety, a must have if one is to break free of our self created prisons that we call normalcy. I naturally swell with Love and feel a great confidence with LSD. I'm more closely related to Jesus with LSD and the important thing is that it is non addictive in fact any bad habit, habits, fixed unconscious patterns drop away or at least weakened to to point so that when say that uncomfortable feeling that a smoker has when his body drops below his comfirt zone of polluted levels of chemicals by lighting a cigarette. Instead taking a good deep breath of air and forgetting and it does make it that easy for me. I really would like find a source again. If there is anything else I can help you with call on me. LSD can help bring miracles to humanity. I found a faith I never knew with LSD. It showed me another dimension and possibilities. Sincerely from Kenneth Jeffrey Slem out of Quartz Hill, California of the United States of America where it is still possible to find true feedom, the kind that Jesus talked about, if the right ingrediants get together.

Has anyone actually tried this? It can be difficult without awareness and consciousness. Were always naming,describing,analizing,etc.,throughout our daily lives. Once we start quieting our minds, and becoming aware of our surroundings, no more naming occurs. The blank mind discard deception, any sensory concepts. A blank mind relates to our mystical consciousness. The non-conceptual knowledge is the Divine or Infinite. Let go of it and trust it, as if its quite other than you. Cellular life on any level. Let go control to others. The Godhead never knows its own knowledge. I love..I let go..I don't control...For the Brahma principle anytime to cease to cling to ourselves (a wasted energy).

I think "a Leary for a less naive age" says it all. To think that it has taken this long to re-open discovery about something so obvious...is amazing. I guess the the taboos and fear of another counter culture revolution and an "evil" Dr. Timothy Leary still resonate. Hats off to Dr. Doblin, his therapeutic research will no doubt cure and relive much suffering. Richard Doblin is driven. I think “a Leary for a less naive age” says it all.
