Taking substances which...You sick and twisted girl. Taking substances which allow one to experience god directly and allow us to have profound spiritual experiences is bad and wrong. That is the job of qualified licensed to talk to god specialist, like the pedophilic Catholic Priests.<br /><br />I mean how will you know if you are talking to the Right God. How will you know if you are using the approved language? And how will you know you are putting the correct interpretation on what is said? Not to mention the correct outfits. I mean to you wear the proper slippers from Prada? The Pope approve model?<br /><br />My God chaos would be the rule of day! Levels of fear, hatred and distrust would plummet! There might even be dancing and dancing in the streets. "Hey buddy you're blocking the Benz. I've got places to go and people to see!"<br /><br />Next you'll be preaching about positive self-worth, which we all know leads to good vibs, good feelings and there will be massive layoffs as the sales of wrinkle creams and valium plummet.<br /><br />I mean heroin was invented by Bayer the people who bring you Baby aspirin, a name you can trust your children to. When they took those heroin dusted wafers out of communion, the world started to go to hell in a hand-basket. Do you realize what a good handbasket cost?<br /><br />And now where am I going to find a cliff to jump off of in Florida! The dump is the highest place in Ft. Lauderdale. That's going to stain my pope-baby pradas.dragonofjapanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465145658903441972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512555862639134715.post-91980890695134090092010-04-30T09:54:44.112-04:002010-04-30T09:54:44.112-04:00Wow, thank you all for your thoughtful comments an...Wow, thank you all for your thoughtful comments and links. Alicia, Thank You for the link to Roz Dauber's film, that was so very nice of you. Its poignance and relevancy into how Real the need to continue public policy and medical advocation and exploration in how psychedelics benefit is made clear, and it is so emotionally moving. <br /><br />Ms. Saunders, your response is beautifully written. I agree with you. Psychedelics is a movement of consciousness, which for some is spiritual and life-changing. People fear change to the status quo. Your last sentence made me laugh... I so wanted to be a part of that "institution" that creates mainstream society when I was younger and more idealistic about how I could change the system from the inside. Nope! It's a long struggle for independence and freedom; I believe we are having great success in our evolution and hope for a future where those drumming their own beat will be regarded as heroes.Jungle Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387850934886822058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512555862639134715.post-88078446687082587792010-04-29T03:08:05.479-04:002010-04-29T03:08:05.479-04:00Here's a link to follow the progress of Roz Da...Here's a link to follow the progress of Roz Dauber's film that featured Annie Levy: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=133283712635 <br />And here's a link to the Horizons 2009 talk: http://www.vimeo.com/10931182 (P.S.

What was dangerous to the status quo was spiritual revival that questioned not just political norms but the social hierarchy. People who know we are "enough" are not enthusiastic competitors for conventional forms of success or compliant participants in the institutions that dole out such success.Barbara Ruth Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799097040002221934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512555862639134715.post-36727934850908907782010-04-26T14:34:41.415-04:002010-04-26T14:34:41.415-04:00I too liked your write up!
