religion and drug usage

As someone who never expirienced that ... that sounds reaaaaaaly groovy.

 

Craig and Josh, if you guys want to try some
crazy life changing perception, while your
coming up on mushrooms, (since you both
have not experienced it yet) have a friend
drive you in the car in the middle of nowhere
on a road that leads west into the sunset
and listen to some Ravi Shankar
I dont think words can express how strange
and oddly beautiful that was for me ~

 

we totally hijacked this thread

 

Any Shanker is great on shrooms.
I got to see Ravi and Anoushka live. I was so happy.

 

Sure it does, my favorite religion is drugs...and making chicks happy.

I still need to draft a genesis tho...
Oh well maybe latter.

 

ya think Ravi is nuts on mushrooms.. try reading Be Here Now on mushrooms.. thats like a life changing experience there...

as for religion and marijuana.. i smoke marijuana religiously.. does that count :spliff:

 

religion sucks, im not saying i don't believe god but if there was why dosent he show himself and reveal a religion instead of a bunch of fake prophets saying they met god with out evidence or a fuckin photo? I will not live my life to a set of rules unless i knew exactly where i am going to when i die.

 

just about 4 more post till my 100th

 

dude I'm agnostic because I admit the physical limits of the human nervous system, but I still practice religion like yoga and shit. but I don't believe in a father god either. I'm kind of a pantheist, beyond atheism and theism. hell, this poll makes my brain hurt.

 

Well as is the basis for most religions, you're supposed to have "faith" in said god. When it comes to god if you believe in god I think out of all things Futurama summed god up perfectly, when Bender is floating through space and meets god, how that god sums up how to be a good god:

"Being God isn't easy bender, if you do too little, people begin to lose their faith, if you do too much, people become dependent on you. If you do something right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all"


As for myself I believe in god, I guess in the Christian sense you could say, and as for drugs, doing psychdelics in fact strengthened that belief really from more agnostic to being sure.

 

for the people wanting to try psychedelics, dont think about them too much. basically, dont create anxiety over them and false perceptions of them. there´s nothing to be timid of with psychedelics if you´ve never taken them. the only way to KNOW is to experience it.
even after countless experiences with mushrooms, I still cant quite remember what it´s actually like. and every time that i do it again, i go, "oh yeah....THIS is IT."
and while tripping, remember that it´s something to EXPERIENCE not necessary TALK/THINK about.

and the death of the ego (for those who havent experienced this) probably isnt what you´re thinking because it involves the "death" of that "person" who is doing the thinking.
