In my last article on the subject of mushrooms (the magic psilocybin containing kind), I talked about microdosing. To continue the subject of new ways to take psychedelics, I will share and expound upon two methods that when microdosing or otherwise I prefer, their effects and some of my personal stores with these processes. Method 1: Tea  Before the art of chocolate (see next section) was revived and perfected this was by far my preferred method for microdosing and sometimes psychedelic dosing (3 grams or more usually- if it's psilocybe cubensis). Often times this process can be simple, quick and tasty but has some differences in effect when compared to eating whole, fresh, or dried magic mushrooms. First, let's find the baseline mushroom experience that you will notice throughout the scene. Usually people find magic mushrooms on the street or dark web that have been dried and generally are a strain or "variety" (a hybrid/designer strain) of Psilocybe Cubens...

Have you ever talking with someone who understood the concept that we are all Star Dusk? I mean from a physics perspective! We are neutrinos. This system which is like astrology, maps just that in something called a Rave Chart. Of everything that I have studied, Human Design is the MOST helpful when it comes to human interaction and fate vs choice. My classes and for our next discussion we will approach the universe as mechanistic archetypes and illusory energy fields that we think of as solid "real" stuff. We will have the opportunity to discuss how energy plays a major role in our hidden talents, unconscious decisions, and the volatile situations occurring with other humans. As a Human Design Analyst, it is my approach to see the body as a vehical for the soul. Additionally, just like every car off of the assembly line at Ford's factory, our bodies too are imprinted with a number, our birthdays. This number along with the time and place of the occurance of birth...

Ska Maria Pastora, the Shepherdess or Salvia Divinorum is a sacred entheogenic plant of the peoples of Mexico in the mint family. It was used long ago, mostly likely, by the Maya, Zapotec, Aztec and Omec. Many modern Indigenous groups still use Salvia Divinorum through a process of chewing rolled leaves at night time for healing and divination. Modern descendants of the Maya and Zapotec as well as Mixtec and Oaxacan peoples still utilize this plant today. Most often we hear that they use it as a substitute for the Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybe Cubensis and Psilocybe species) during the seasons when the mushrooms are not fruiting.  Salvia Divinorum is an easy plant to cultivate and can be very sustainable and rewarding to the Shamanic Herbal enthusiast. It is primarily probagated through cuttings but lately the plants that many of my friends keep are sprouting flowers and eventually seeds. These are sensitive plants and, I believe, need lots of loving care. If provided a safe...

Dear Mr. Stamets, I’ve been a huge fan of yours for many years now. I am writing to you today because I think your extensive knowledge and experience can be an asset regarding my vision to save Lake Atitlan, the third largest freshwater lake in Guatemala. This lake was said to have been written about by Aldous Huxley where he referred to this lake as “the most beautiful lake in the world”. As an active mushroom cultivator and amateur mycologist I paid special attention when you publicly made statements about how to solve the problems in the Gulf with the recent oil spill utilizing mushrooms and hair to absorb the petro-waste and have it consumed by voracious mycelium. I feel that Lake Atitlan can be saved with the aid of fungi. In 2009 it came to the attention of the locals that cyanobacteria had been growing and blooming in the water. It is three years later and the lake is in dire need of cleansing. Many of the people who depend on the lake for fishing and everyday life have develo...

Dear Readers, This is the second entry in our discussion of Yoga as Preparation for Death and Dying. Today we will be addressing a continuation of knowledge from the last entry as well as a tie in to Quantum theory inspired by both David Bohm and Alan Watts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bohm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Watts Be reminded that this specific type of discussion helps yoga practicitioners to identify their life as a playing field littered with conversational landmines of the taboo. A yogi has discriminative logic and wisdom enough to sidestep these landmines when necessary. This is a quoted landmine but still a truth coming from the Wikipedia.org website (see link above on Alan Watts): "the whole universe consists of God playing hide-and-seek (Maya or illusion) hiding from himself by becoming all the living and non-living things in the universe, forgetting who he really is; the upshot being that we are all God in disguise." Yoga and death are systems...
