DOSE:
1.2 g oral Mushrooms - P. cubensis (dried)
BODY WEIGHT: 200 lb

I'm a 25 year old USA Citizen, I've taken shrooms about 10 times, at doses varying from 0.1 to 5 dried grams of various Cubensis Strains, B+, Amazonian, Creeper, Golden Teacher, all in dried form.

On this Las Vegas Amazonian Cubensis trip, me and my girlfriend were driving from Yuma AZ to Las Vegas NV, there was an active/manned border patrol checkpoint along the way, so I swallowed my 2 capsules of ground/powdered Amazonian Cubensis before reaching the checkpoint.

We pass through the checkpoint with no problems, the shrooms hadn't yet taken effect.

As we drove closer to las vegas I started to feel an entity come over me.

This was the spirit of the Amazonian Cubensis teacher. It was distinct from other Cubes I've tried. I am convinced now, that even though the Cubensis strains will all contain the same 4 psychoactive compounds, Psilocin, Psilocybin, Baeocystin, Nor-Baeocystin, even still , I hypothesize that each strain of cubensis, has it's own message, or teaching, or spirit, or theme.

We are now in the middle of traffic, in the most crowded part of Las Vegas, and the shroom trip is intensifying. The Amazonian cubensis was like an old spirit, asleep in the plant gnosis/mushroom for years, and now being awoken as I took the shrooms into my body, the mushroom spirit became awake and began to orient itself.

The Amazonian cubensis was a nature-entity, it told me of the importance of fertile soil, earthworms, and the importance of the medicinal value of the Amazonian rainforest itself. This Amazonian Spirit told me of the eternal importance of family and nature, of humanity living in balance with nature, a lesson well-understood by the Native Americans, who would use every piece of a buffalo, and who lived environmentally friendly lives, living in simple tents, the Native Americans are very honorable and wise people.

I instantly felt ashamed of my pollution on the earth. The Gaia, Feminine Earth Spirit was analyzing me and speaking to me through the shroom. It said "Humanity is polluting and destroying the Earth, for what? It's own destruction? The native people understood well the importance of ecological preservation and honor, it is only the modern, capitalistic, tobacco and alcohol and anti-depressants form of man which as forgotten the lessons of the Earth Goddess. Therefore, humanity must live in balance with nature, as apart of nature."

From this, I instantly felt humbled and ashamed of my actions.

This Earth is alive, as a super-organism floating through Space, the Earth as a super-organism is collectively conscious, if the fish are hurt than man can't eat, if the oceans are polluted, then the sea-plankton die and can't produce oxygen.

It is more valuable to understand the true intelligence of Earth, than to be wise in man's eyes. Of course education and learned-ship is necessary, learn to read, do math etc, but so much of humanities problems is due to self-inflicted damage to the Earth.

Humanity looks sick to me, we have more toxins in our environment than ever before, with neurotoxic heavy metals Mercury and Aluminum in our vaccines we get as babies, to neurotoxin Flouride in our water, to artificial flavors which are excitotoxic to the brain in our food.

This human society is a producer of trash and pollution, has humanity ever built a tree? Built an ecosystem? Gaia Has. Humanity, with its radioactive waste, bulldozing of trees to build shopping malls to sell cheap Chinese products which are toxic and break easily, to nukeing fellow humans.

Humanity is statistically, the most destructive and evil species to ever exist. A Pelican has never initiated a world war. A Fish has never dumped radioactive waste into the ocean. I can hear you thinking *But Author, Fish arnt smart enough to build nuclear reactors* Yes, while true, our species has to learn to live in balance with nature, and this means to take only what we need, and give the rest back, as in, compost foods back into the soil, live ecologically minded, in small houses, such as EarthShips and Tiny Houses, Take public transit or ride a bike when possible, be kind to fellow humanity.

I went to my hotel room and just drank water for a few hours. I realized I just wanted to live in a Tee-Pee like my Native American Ancestors before me, drink river from a pristine stream, and run with the buffalo at night.

I don't want a $300,000 house, a fancy car or an MBA from Harvard. I want a gentle stream to live by, a kind community, and a peaceful life.

The news media and hollywood, and rap music is used as cultural brainwashing, so I avoid TV and radio, I just listen to classical music and watch planet earth now.

I have finially realized how to live a nice life, here is my plan.

1. Buy a tiny parcel of land, and build a tiny house on it (Tiny House, Earth Ship), ride a bike and the bus to transit.

2. I won't have a refrigerator, I'll only use Solar Powered electric cooking range, to cook freshly purchased vegetables, to minimize electrical costs.

3. Now, any work I do, I can save the majority of my earnings, because a tiny house is cheap, I don't have to be enslaved to a mortgage for 30 years =).

I believe Tiny Houses, are a great first step to reducing the pollution levels emitted by humanity.

Most people have to work, which involves Driving pollution-emitting cars, to pay rent or mortgages. If we built tiny houses, people would have houses built in months, instead of a 30 year mortgage, leading to a reduced need to drive/pollute, resulting in a cleaner earth, and less oil usage! Great.

I will return to the gnosis of the Earth Spirit Amazonian Cubensis, to learn how to live in balance with nature, sometime soon.

In summary, I believe each strain of cubensis, has its own teaching, anyway, it makes me want to take more shrooms from around the world, so this is a great endeavor to pursue.
