I have heard some great storys about the Owsley days from my older friends, and I missed em https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB4XK8lkzEM"]YouTube- A positive story about LSD- Augustus Owsley Stanley
More to life then taking acid man, I'm pretty glad I actually didn't live through those times compared to now.
Every mind has the potential to expose itself as brilliant. It is us as the viewer that doesn't take the time to perceive.
fuck that. i would not want to be taking doses as high as the ones they were giving out. too many freak-outs and burnouts as a result. Also leary, although a brilliant mind, was extremely misguided in a lot of his Ideas. Probably was way too far out from weekly dosing for years. I like Living NOW with the INTERNET. information disseminates better. I am more informed now than ever about what i put in my body.
I agree living through that time is a very "romantic" idea, however, the here and now may prove to have some serious silver linings...now it's our turn to defend these wonderful molecules and attempt to get free from all that we have imprisoned ourselves in as a society/world; and the way the world and humanity is advancing it could be epic, but who knows
Beautiful response Clear Water. My (2nd hand) understanding of Owsley is that he was a remarkable and unique person and also very controlling - and not necessarily a good person* to trip with. If I could offer these words from those days about these days: These are the Days These are the days of the endless summer These are the days, the time is now There is no past, there's only future There's only here, there's only now Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence The fires of spring are kindling bright Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory Crying freedom in the night These are the days by the sparkling river His timely grace and our treasured find This is the love of the one magician Turned the water into wine These are days of the endless dancing and the Long walks on the summer night These are the days of the true romancing When I'm holding you oh, so tight These are the days by the sparkling river His timely grace and our treasured find This is the love of the one great magician Turned water into wine These are the days now that we must savour And we must enjoy as we can These are the days that will last forever You've got to hold them in your heart. (Van Morrison) * A good person to trip with generally being calm, insightful, strong, honest, non-manipulative, kind, and so on.
Life before the internet was romantically heartfelt but ignorant Life after the internet was practical, yet cynical there's no going back now Jim
sometimes that can be a good thing. be the change you are looking for. what is that just going to be a golden era and then we are going to move on with our lives? hell no! history is still rolling, people are still yearning for love.
that was a great clip. i think i would be very clostorfobic if i dosed around that many people i can barely handel being aroudn 3 or 4 people when i dose.
