    i believe that what we perceive of reality on a day to day basis is only a small segment of what is actually objectively there, whether or not what is objectively there is empirical, observable by humans.

    i believe in various vaguely defined spiritual entities, not necessarily corporeal or incorporeal. i believe a multitude of entities likely exist, and do not necessarily believe in one personal god which rules them all, but i do believe there is a creator.

    i believe that firsthand religious/mystical experience is a necessity for spiritual growth, and that one-sided prayer and the most rudimentary meditative techniques are useful in one's life, but not to this end necessarily. i believe that fully psychedelic doses of substances such as magic mushrooms, DMT, salvia divinorum, ayahuasca, and mescaline bearing cacti, among other substances, most reliably and conveniently are able to confer a genuine religious experience upon a human being. by what means i am not certain - i call them visions, but it may simply be divine ecstasy with no further message, may be a revealing of other dimensions, may be simply shifting the scope of what we are perceiving, or it may reveal divine truth inherently embedded in either human beings, the environment in which we are surrounded, or both.

    unlike deep meditation and other more orthodox religious practices, psychedelics on their own will not promote discipline or understanding. revelation without comprehension is meaningless, and it takes either a rather wise person or a person who will accompany use of psychedelics with such practices as prayer, meditation, fasting and so on, to fully integrate the meaning of the visions.

    i believe that psychedelics are one of the ways to potentially come into communion with the gods, and that if it is gone about correctly with proper worship and devotion that, at times, these gods/angels/whatever may influence the world of normal reality, such as acts of healing, miracles, etc.

    i believe also that psychedelics, as a sacrament, have little to no place in the realm of recreational drug use, and that people should approach them with extreme caution and care. if people are willing to do this, i would advocate everybody try them. if they just want to get high, i would suggest not taking them.

    i believe most orthodox religions are well intentioned and are elegantly crafted social structures which have, at least among their followers, largely been sources of good. i believe further that arrogance and xenophobia has caused these same beautiful social structures to commit acts of unspeakable horror against one another. i believe that god and reality are far to complicated for us to fully understand as humans.

    i believe in the value of science, but also that not everything in reality is empirical, and that science has limits which may not be overcome. i believe in "magic" to some very limited extent.

    i believe that we must strive to reach fundamental goals of liberation, revelation, kindness, love, and acceptance. i believe violence should be avoided whenever possible, and that people should make wise decisions regarding their sex lives so as not to damage their lives or the lives of their partners. i believe that good people should have the right to be who they truly are, without shame or fear, without governments or cultural norms declaring them base, immoral, or otherwise atrocious.

    i believe humanity has reached extremely advanced states of existance, cultural and "scientific" complexity, only to be all but destroyed and lost to antiquity. i believe it has happened at least once, that people were virtually wiped out at the end of the last ice age, and that it will happen again by different means in the near or far off future. i believe when this happens the fate of humanity will rest on us, but that no matter how much we fuck up life will go on, with or without us.

    i believe in existance beyond our corporeal existance, but what shape that may take is unknown to me.

    i believe that ultimately heaven is the void, and this is what all creatures should strive to reach.

    I evolved from a monkey, early man ate magic mushrooms and figured out language, the original forbidden fruit of adam and eve was a liberty cap not a fucking apple.

    way back when the meteor that smeared the dinosaurs carried magical spores from space.

    gnomes are real, they jack my hash all the time.

    there are little nymphs that live in wood and when you blurt out somthing bad you need to knock the wood to rattle their little nymph brains out of whack before they can use their mysterious power to make your spoken fears reality.

    I believe in luck, pennies are lucky especially tails up, rabbit feet are not lucky, actually bring bad luck.

    cyans and fly mushies are very sacred to me, rabbits and frogs are as well.
