Fascinating, and it is more
interesting because it seems to outline religious figures more than the average
person. Consider the 'manic' person it paints with self tweaked chemicals and
spending sprees, with religious visions and so on, to quote:
"Sadly, among today's "bipolars" manic exuberance can spin
out of control. Euphoria may be accompanied by hyperactivity, sleeplessness,
chaotically racing ideas, pressure of speech and grandiose thought.
Hyper-sexuality, financial excesses and religious delusions are common. So is
rampant egomania. Sometimes dysphoria may occur. In dysphoric mania the
manic "high" is actually unpleasant. The excited subject may be angry, agitated,
panicky, paranoid, and destructive. When in the grip of classic euphoric mania,
however, it's hard to recognise that anyone might think anything is wrong. This
is because everything feels utterly right. To suppose otherwise is like going to
Heaven and then being invited to believe there has been a mistake. It's not
credible."
Really great article. Thanks much.
I agree with some as you know since I have touted the Shulgin art. And
hypothesized that in the future we will travel to the stars and harvest all
sorts of strange and new things, and then to boot, the Earth will become in fact
the primordial initiative of higher reflective intelligence for the womb of the
universe...
On the other hand, the tweaking of
the brain to acheive the ecstatic state, creates a personal and moral conundrum,
which I may buy, but which not all people will buy. So there always will be
those who fall short of perfection, from the ambrosial side, and the personal
side. And so what will happen? Will they be forced to dope up at school for the
day, similar to the notion of doing TM in schools? I mean I love TM, just
as I love drugs, for similar reasons, for much the reasons that this
article links. Religion leads to an ecstacy that when it wears off can be
reinstated similarly through drugs. Yes, the two steps of evolution. Rest, and
partying.
I would like to think that this
combo could be used to permanently enlighten everybody who so aspired. Der,
stupid me, what am I saying, that's why such things have always existed.
(It's bizarre that society
has no real place for mind enhancing or expanding drugs, and my guess is that
samsara ends in nirvana, and nirvana is just not sellable. Der stupid
me, look at Maharishi. Looks to be we can integrate nirvana into society through
commerce, or so some think. I mean, I really like Amrit Kalash, Thank Dwivedi.
Is his picture still on the bottle. But I swear, it takes about ten a day to get
the same bliss as a joint. The price is about the same though at that rate. It's
better for the lungs but people who take it tend not to live very ling as per
King, Henning, Skip and the others who all died from strange pop up diseases.
((On my computer the name of this typeface which you all arent seeing is called
shruti))
Which is why cops really exist,
that is, to keep our brain chemicals tweaked towards socialization by providing
a cordition for the mind. When nirvana is acheived then mine and yours, and me
and you all merge into one awareness, and that can seriously terrify the
dualistic tendencies. So cops are there. The world is a straight moral conundrum
which is a mirror and is the apocalypse continually. For the brain
chemicals. Mirrored in society there will always exist ignorance since
ignorance is the very potential for enlightenment and is the secret power of the
sage. Self ignorance, not ignorance of others. In ignorance is the potential of
enlightenment. In this world.
Compassion is what is needed for
proper training. Or else one will live in unity as a demon, eating people's
hearts like Dahmer. Or in religious fervor set off bombs because they too are
natural law.
I mean this artical should be read
by every Muslim and Christian and Hindu and every other warring religious sect.
Your religion is killing you and killing others just because you can't maintain
your brains. You=rhetorically speaking.
I don't think moral choice can
ever be taken away from humans in spite of hedonic imperative. Because one needs
to learn to maintain tain tain tain tain tain tain.
Thanks again.
