| 11:18 pm - Bill to Ban Salvia Divinorum in Maryland [MD] Help me fight back!
On January 14, 2009, Senator Richard Colburn (R) introduced Senate Bill 9 to the Maryland State Legislature. If enacted, this bill would make Salvia divinorum a Schedule I controlled substance in that state. The text only mentions Salvia divinorum it does not mention salvinorin A.
Source: http://www.sagewisdom.org/legalstatus.html
I have already made a similar post about this issue on the the Shroomery.Org forums and the SalviaSource.Org forums and after receiving advice, have decided to raise alarm about this issue in attempts to gain backing in contacting State Legislature in stopping this Bill from banning the entheogenic herb Salvia Divinorum.
We have until the meeting on Tuesday, January 27 to fight this issue before it leaves the Committee level!

I apologize if I am going about spreading information about this issue the wrong way, but I honestly don't know much about trying to fight back against legislation. What I DO know is that if these bills pass many innocent Maryland citizens will be wrongfully incarcerated for an unharmful entheogen. I and thousands of others use Salvia Divinorum for an entheogenic (spiritual) purpose! Salvia is not a party drug, not addictive, and has medicinal and therapeutic potential which out-rules it from being a Schedule I substance. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND A VIOLATION OF OUR RIGHTS! Help me contact Maryland legislature and fight back against this redicolous "War on Drugs" and violation of our rights.
Please fellow Salvia enthusiasts, I can only do so much on my own. I need your help in making sure no more of our rights are stripped away... Thank you and I apologize if I have gone about posting this in the wrong way. I am in the process of sending out e-mails to NORML, DPA, ASA and MPP.

It began with a group of friends bringing over rather good mushrooms.
I hadn't done them in a long time, or for a long time before that. I had bad experiences, and it is one of the things I've x'ed off my list of things to do. However, this last time I decided to. It was in the midst of many things this past summer that made me want to die.
So as the story goes, I started tripping, and I asked my friend for a bit more. It wasn't enough for me, though I didn't know that it wasn't all that was to come.
They took me to the beach. I didn't want to go out. I felt afraid and insecure in that notion. Nevertheless we went to a local Crescent Beach. As I stood there, I looked across the water at Vancouver, and the lights were amazing. As we stopped moving and stood still for a few moments, my head began to lift. A massive ringing began, and didn't stop getting worse. At the peak of it, I fell to both knees, leaned over and puked. I don't remember what happens next, but I won't cut scenes just yet..
..My friends told me after that I got up, stumbled backwards, and passed out- smoking my body on a giant (relatively flattish) rock, and rolled on the ground.
Now isn't it just like friends to stand there and talk about you when you may or may not be clinically dead..
..Anyways..this is the most amazing part. As I said, I don't remember smacking my body and rolling, what I do remember is hard to explain:
I awoke to a deep darkness, moving towards a light. As I moved closer, a figure moved from the light towards me. We met..She wore a very large, or long, flowing dress. It was deep blue, and wavered as if she was suspended in water. Her hair was dark and very long, flowing..It was very wierd. We spoke, or rather she spoke to me. I wish I remembered what she said. I really don't know, and didn't remember after the incident. I just remember feeling changed by her words..thoughts..whatever it was. I began to here my friends voices, and I came to.
To make a long story short, I wasn't able to feel warm for about five hours after that, and I felt as if my body was FUBAR'ed.
I saw figures in cloaks, as I laid on a couch trying to regulate my bodies functioning through focus..I didn't want them to help me. I didn't want to take from them, lest I owe them in return. Who were these three in cloaks who show up now and then...in times when I am for some reason able to perceive them? The mystery grows deeper..

Aliens are humans that we don't understand. The DD or the SS created the identity of aliens, because it works on so many levels to control the minds of the proletariat classes. Yes, multiple compartmentalized classes. The control is enacted by the factor that when the individual interacting with an, "alien's," identity perceives that they have no power over the superiority of the being, the individual loses their edge in combat by the fact that they have no intel on what they are perceiving. This causes them to think too long to act in ways of educated training for combat. This enables the attacker posing as alien to have an edge in combat versus the opposing forces.
Now, with that said, the pen is mightier than the sword because if you cut a person in the mind with your sword the person dies. When you go into their mind with the pen you can beat that person without ever being present first. This type of psychological tactic is utilized to play mind games with the populous, because it causes them to play out the battle in their minds. This effects them in a way which causes them, again, to try to gain intel in order to beat the enemy at combat- since it is most definitely assessed as a security risk. Many sources give many angles on aliens and how to beat them, but the most predominant source enforcing this image in the public's mind is the new age. Furthermore, the predominant factor most collectively agreed on is that these aliens don't want to destroy us, but merely wish to study us to find us worthy of being trusted.
With that as background information, I will tell you something you may never understand until it happens, because you'd wonder how I know and I wouldn't be able to tell you much. It would sound like gibberish to any person.
In the near future the Roman Empire will unite the world through the mental tact I spoke of- on top of countless other tactics styled to the person perceiving. They will take everybody and decompartmentalize them. They will take away the veil, and having constructed the perfect false world they will be able to convince people that they were given eternal life after a great judgment. All of prophecy in Revelation will seemed to have been fulfilled. Everybody has been programmed to be suspicious of this world, and eventually everyone will likely break free, but this world will only serve as a temporary cage so that the world outside that cage can be altered. Once people are sent out into the world, they will think they have gained absolute freedom from authority. Once this happens, the control of the populous will be complete, for this is what is called 'transparent government'.

It is time to finally unveil my target audience. I have many target audiences, and for many reasons, but the people I write to will never contact me. If they did, it would only be under the guise of secrecy- which may have already happened. They would be the ones which manipulate the ones I call the masses. They are the Masters above the Teachers. It is to them I write, because it is for them that I write. I was initiated by them, and then put through a series of instructions. Messages were sent in code. Mostly it was in dreams, but in the awakened world I even saw them coming and going. I heard them talk, as if our minds were linked. I don't like the things they said.
My stand here is fully awakened. No longer do I need to sit idly. I have all the dirt on them, and I will start writing it now.
They put themselves above men by gaining trustworthy positions, and by then utilizing their positions to instill ideologies in people below them. They are in power in every circle there exists, and it is literally impossible to go on without them taking notice of you. They have spies in the highest places, and in the lowest places. They have riches and power above all men, because the men below them fell victim to one of their ideologies- ideologies designed with the enslavement of a man's will in mind.
These men have gained their seats by being passed down a torch from grandfather to grandson. This is smart, because the in-between can be as loose a cannon as it wants, the line will have hope in the next generation.
What people don't realize is that this is the reason generation Y and X have been sought after with such interest. There are members of certain families in these generations, and many of them. They are guaranteed freedom in as much as it portrays what their intentions are in life. One can only take the torch if they are worthy of the torch. It's not uncommon for the torch to be doused over time.
The up and coming Sunshine generation is selected to become the brightest stars that have ever come. They are going to be able to go so high as to be higher than all of us put together. They will be the yellow generation, having the full energy of the Sun Reborn. They will be taken from their parents, and given a Big Brother. They will be given a new King- one which gives them everything for their service.
Who is this new King, and why does he threaten our every way of existence? He threatens to come out and destroy our will forever. We are truly gone if we allow this atrocity to take power. We are the citizens of the world, and with one united voice we should renounce tyranny in every form. We should not be so afraid for our security that we go around killing people that merely differ from our culture. We must remember that it was our war machine that went into their land in the first place, to 'fix the problem' we were facing regarding a little thing called 'community and consensus'. Let's not forget that it was we who did this to them, so we can say that they do something to us, and all the while having the perfect reason to reform an area of the world that has so far resisted reform.
History is doomed to repeat itself until everybody remembers what to do. This is a great time when people are remembering that very fact, but then doing what will trap them forever. Believe in Jesus, and you will be saved.

Hello folks. This is kind of cross-posted
Lately I've been doing a lot of experiments in altered consciousness. I've been reading up on ayahuasca. I'd really like someone to talk to about the brewing process. Does anyone in here have any experience brewing ayahuasca?
Feel free to drop a comment here or e-mail me at this username on gmail.

Hive consciousness takes effect when multiple parties involved in a sociological interaction are programmed with interchangeable code. By engage oneself in polarity is to engage the opposite pole. To change sides is to still exist in the same cyclical schism. When an individual takes oneself out from the polarity, they find only grander polarity to become acquainted with. Such an endeavor proves fruitful in that the individual learns about oneself before being able to commit to action. Such aspiration builds character. By using character to your advantage you may find that action requires preparation. Preparation requires skill and dedication. Both are observable qualities. Some qualities are inobservable.

Nightmares can kill you, but for me it seems that I was saved by an ounce of purity. Death finds a lack of protocol towards killing of innocence, but it is mad- and causes to make ones lose innocence before killing them. For me, I lost my innocence, but found it again just in time to live.
My nightmare last night was a series of tests, some of which I failed.

"We have gone sick by following a path of untrammeled rationalism, male dominance, attention to the visible surface of things, practicality, and bottomlineism.
We have gone very, very sick.
And the body politic, like any body when it feels itself to be sick, it begins to produce antibodies or strategies for over coming the condition of dis-ease.
The 20th century is an enormous effort at self-healing. Phenomenon as diverse as surrealism, body piercing, psychedelic drug use, sexual permissiveness, jazz, experimental dance, rave culture, tattooing. The list is endless.
What do all these things have in common?
They represent various styles of rejection of linear values.
The society is trying to cure itself by an archaic revival. By a reversion to arachaic values.
When I see people manifesting sexual ambiguity, or scarifying themselves, or showing a lot of flesh, or dancing to synopicated music, or getting loaded, or violating ordinary cannons of sexual behavior, I applaud all of this.
Because it’s an impulse to return to what is felt by the body.
What is authentic.
What is archaic.
When you tease apart these archaic impulses at the very center of all these impulses is the desire to return to a world of magical empowerment of feeling.
At the center of that impulse is the shaman. Stoned. Intoxicated on plants. Speaking with the spirit helpers. Dancing in the moonlight. Vivifying and evoking a world of conscious living mystery. That's what the world is.
The world is not an unsolved problem for scientists or sociologists.
The world is a living mystery.
Our birth, our death, our being in the moment. These are mysteries. They are doorways, opening on to unimaginable vistas of self-exploration, empowerment, and hope for the human enterprise.
Our culture has killed that. Taken it away from us. Made us consumers of shoddy products and shoddier ideals. We have to get away from that. And the way to get away from it is by a return to the authentic experience of the body. And that means sexually empowering ourselves. And it means getting loaded. Exploring the mind as a tool for personal and social transformation.
The hour is late. The clock is ticking.
We will be judged very harshly if we fumble the ball. We are the inheritors of millions and millions of years of successfully lived lives and successful adaptations to changing conditions in the natural world. Now that challenge passes to us: the living.
That the yet to be born may have a place to put their feet and a sky to walk under. That is what the psychedelic experience is about. Is caring for, empowering, and building a future that honors the past, honors the planet, honors the power of the human imagination.
There is nothing as powerful and as capable of transforming itself and the planet as the human imagination.
Let's not sell it straight. Lets not whore ourselves to nit wit ideologies.
Lets not give our control over to the least among us.
Rather, claim your place in the sun and go forward into the light.
The tools are there.
The path is known.
You simply have to turn your back on a culture that has gone sterile and dead and get with the program of a living world and an reempowerment of the imagination."

 | 02:03 am - Working with Salvia: Microdosing reports and more!
hello, i'm pretty new here. and i'm usually really bad at intros. i've joined this community a while ago but with everything, been a little busy. yes... i like to make excuses. i do it as a job.
anyways, i would like to share my experiences as i take on a new journey to the Salvia's world. i've started a log of all my Salvia experiences. if anybody's interested please visit my little page, sessions 1~4 are up. i'm trying to setup a detailed as possible log, methods and experiences. if anybody has a good template for recording their experiences please let me know.
i have been pretty serious with the use of entheogens about for the last two and half years. since i have been able to learn so much from it. it has helped me deal with some of very serious issues in my life. and it has shown me a new light which i have been able to turn my life completely around. living as an athiest most of my life and following the wrong paths(been a hell of generator for negative vibes), now i seek the wisdoms from the plants and my good friends. even became a vegetarian/part time vegan for my beliefs. i used to be a kleptomaniac and i have killed many many living things. now i truely believe in karma and living a new path. it's been quite a journey for the past few years. it's amazing to see my own growth as a person. having lots of issues growing up, i am able to finally realize them and learning to deal with them.
life truely is a unique jounrey. i'd love to share it with much as i can with everyone.
i am an artist by trade... which needs a lotta work like my own self.
much love and peace,
ray
