		<description>Hello. My name is Heather. I just stumbled across your page and I decided to read your column. First off I would like the address the numerous topics and your insights/ideas on them and I have to say every word you&#039;ve written made me really think and look at things differently. It made me realize that it is coming, and becoming more and more present. Second, I have always wanted to take a stronger psychedelic, however I have had many occasions to do acid, yet I never take it. I&#039;m always worried, or become very fearful as soon as the possibility that I might loose total control over my mind comes into my head. I just become to scared and don&#039;t end up taking it, my boyfriend however, has a very open state of mind. He has experience wonderful, euphoric states on his many trips, I envy his mind and how he can just &quot;let go.&quot;  Oppose to being worried, and completely freaking myself out, for instance how I get if I feel like something&#039;s going wrong, or &quot;I did to much of something&quot; my boyfriend can just &quot;let go&quot; and come to the realization that it&#039;s just a drug and you need to just let it be, it will take you where you&#039;re supposed to go and if you fight it, it makes it all the more worse, I wish I could get into that mind state. I would be thinking, Oh my gosh, I have another 12 hours of this, I wish I was just straight again, I wish I never took this. (I have taken mushrooms, a very very small amount, and that was my experience) I want to experience that world, I want to enter into that place where you discover so many things that were right in front of you all along, that place where you figure out all the things that never made sense to you and suddenly, you understand your purpose, why you&#039;re here and what you&#039;re supposed to do. Everyone I have told this to basically has the same response, &quot;If you&#039;re worried about taking it, don&#039;t do it because you will most definatly have a bad trip, if you think you&#039;re going to, you will.&quot; Any ideas on how I can get myself to relax and get into a more calm mind state so I am finally able to experience all of this? Sorry for such a long ramble, you just seem very enlightened from what little bit I&#039;ve read from your page. Thanks for listening to me. Take care.
Heather, I&#039;ll leave you with a final thought, this is my favorite quote, I try to live by it, I also have Harmony tattooed accros my back, kinda lets you know the person I am, yet I  can&#039;t get into a relaxed state of mind when I need or want to.....hope you can be of some help to me. Peace to you brother. You have a beautiful mind, please keep sharing your thoughts &amp; ideas. 
&quot;When the Power of Love, Overcomes the Love of Power, Then the World will Trully know Peace.&quot;

		<description>one of the most interesting things I&#039;ve read in a long while. You make a clear distinction between &quot;them&quot; and &quot;us&quot;, psychic explorers vs those who stay in &quot;ordinary&quot; reality, and the idea of bringing things back to the tribe is a really interesting one I&#039;d never thought of before. I guess that to a large extent it happens without even those who do it being aware of it, being aware that what they are creating and putting into society is actually something from &quot;out there&quot;. unless that is their intention of course, but I&#039;m sure that just as often or more often than not, it happens simply through expression. but to do it for the tribe certainly gives more meaning and justification to masturbation.
and its funny because when the matrix came out  i loved that movie and I would of never of thought that it had anything to do with &quot;drugs&quot;.</description>
