Have an open mind but no so open that your brains fall out

And people just swallow this stuff up wholesale and their heads are stuffed full of nonsense which they consider to be the truth. With subjects such as whats on these forums (Camelot & Avalon) you HAVE to be sceptical, please people do not belive everything you read, THINK about whats being said.

By the way, Eyes wide open, The picture you use looks nearly idenical to something that I saw. I'll have to explain: I was tripping on mushrooms, really really tripping, to the extent where all I could do was lie on my bed. After an uncertain amount of time going through what felt like a review of my whole life, good and bad, I came back and what you have in your picture was floating a few feet above my head, with what looked like a multi coloured thread connected to my forehead. It felt as this thing was living and I felt totally calm and peacefull in its presence. I can't remember how long this lasted. Now that is is true, I promise!

Thanks,

Hey Man, Whats the name of that mushroom.

Hello all, I am a new around here and just wanted to jump in and say hello. I agree with what has been said re being self aware and looking out for BS. I am new to forum posting so I hope I can contribute in some way. I keep thinking of the saying -where there is fear there is power -and I am noticing more and more how much I am avoiding buying into fear, even todays news about another financial collapse- I feel detached yet alert. I have no way of moving to safe place as I am a full time carer, on a very low income. Connecting in this way is important to me as I am sure there must be many others like me, who for various reasons feel very isolated and alone when they read some of the chilling speculations that are being made.

Hi Going to fast,
The mushrooms are commonly calld majic mushrooms but the active drug is psilocybin ( not sure if thats spelled correctly ). They can be found around this time of year, first frost kills them off. any where sheep graze is usually a good spot to look, dunno why. You have to know what they look like so Google Majic Mushrooms. My advice is to start with a few and see how you feel about 40 mins later. At the time of that experiance I posted, a group of friends went out and gathered enough mushrooms for about six of us to have a good trip. What happened to me was the rest of the guys left the mushrooms in my place to dry out, we were all gonna take them later that evening and have a trip. So the six portions were divided up and left on newspaper on top of the radiater to dry out for later. I got impatiant and scoffed my portion. About half an hour later I was really trippin' and I felt so good that I took all five other portions aswell, you know the rest.
