religion is a road map. as humans tend to, they get caught up in the messenger and sidestep the message (idolatry ffs). GO TEAM! ...or... YOUR TEAM SUX!


"the lamp of the body is the eye. when thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light"
- J. Christ

in other words... when you open your mind's eye you can focus on the truth.

There is a very interesting movie (the name slips my memory) where a guy supposedly doesn't die. And he didn't since humanity began. He has kind of a rough life, because every 10 years he has to leave everyone he knows/loves, so it doesn't get too obvious he doesn't age. Anyways in this story they imply that he was Jesus by accident (he really didn't mean to be) and that he became him because he was talking about things to the people in Rome that he had heard Buddha teach when he was in India 500 years earlier... It was an interesting take on things.

Try to remember the title.

Mmmm blue ringers... i used to self pick too. i grew up in south Texas... the humidity and abundance of cows made that type of spiritual journey easy to come by... after it rained, that is.

As nice as shrooms are for this, they have NOTHING on real acid!

Tool verse: I know the pieces fit, because I've seen them fall appart...

I have seen them fall apart too...

I don't say this to chest-thump, but I've done my fair share of both. I can honestly say I would never do either again. I think they're helpful for dense and rigid people to break down the barriers, but they're definitely not to be for prolonged use.

Sorry, Galt with tears of Salt,

I do not pretend to own anything. That said, I'm more than happy, if a little surprised, to see my totally random stab at atheists derail into mushrooms. Ain't nothing I don't like about mushrooms.

I treat it the same way.
