Having carried out comprehensive research in to the new psychchedelics. They have isolated to the colours, the hallucinations etc, basically the side effected of what was a spiritual experience. But it's that part they've left out. That real opening to a higher truth. That aspect of LSD . This is the part that mattered. The rest was all wall paper. It is as if in the fear of the hell the sacrifice has been heaven. Back in the sixties LSD was known as the heaven and hell drug. Alexander shulgin,for who I have vast respect, spearheaded a series of psychedelic drugs. But for all of his creative variants i have yet to find that spiritual feeling that comes from LSD and psylocibin. Fortunate to grow up in a country that has a fungi season of pure spiritual effervescence. Our culture, our secret culture has known this and the liberty cap mushroom has steered, affected and led a constant undercurrent to any serious understanding of British culture. Any serious history of these isles religion, arts and general outlook needs understand the effects of psylocibin .
The first drug I took to any great extent was magic mushrooms. They were free. And very strong. I must have taken them well over a thousand times in my early teens. To this day I could not tell you if I am damaged or enlightened by my over indulgence. But I will say that many from my area got in to solvent abuse. Glue sniffing. I've never indulged so can not speak from experience but those who indulged always speak with great reverence of their experiences. Perhaps it is the age that we undertook these direct transcendental experiences. Our outlook was never the same again.
At the time I felt we had found an evolutionary trigger. Something that would change the world, end suffering etc. now the world seems just as war torn.
A greater peace is growing as reason overtakes superstition. But this peace has its price. And it may be our human peace means extinction to man other species.
