- penetrating mental vision or discernment.
- the sudden act of grasping the inner nature or truth of a situation.
- a deep understanding of a person or thing.
Insights here are meant to be quick and half-baked. Consider these food for thought.
I've deliberately disabled comments to keep the blog streamlined. If you want to discuss any of the blog posts, you can do so here: Actualized.org Forum
Brugmansia, also known as Angel's Trumpet, is similar in effect to Datura.
These chemicals empirically demonstrate that reality is a hallucination. You don't need complicated theoretical and logical proofs. Brugmansia is the proof. There is ample proof, the issue is that no one takes it seriously because no one cares. Humanity could deconstruct reality, they just don't want to.
Note: I do not recommend trying Brugmansia.
Nice historical footage of the devilry that went on in Osho's cult.
Osho was very conscious, intelligent, and non-conformist/non-dogmatic, however, this shows you that that is not enough to run a conscious community. That's how difficult community is.
This guy took datura and his trip was still going 2 months later.
Legend has it he's still tripping to this day, haha.
Datura is psycho-actively the same as Belladonna, which was used by witches in medieval times to make flying ointments. So witches got their magic powers from Datura.
Datura was used to make lethal poison in the Middle Ages. Datura was also used to enslave women into prostitution.
"All hallucinations on Datura are a result of changes in the brain stem. The brain stem controls dreaming. 'Reason' is not something the brain stem understands, and hallucinations reflect that. Hallucinating with that part of the brain 'in charge' has the possibility of leading in many different places." — Erowid
This guy's life is utterly disgusting, but damn entertaining to listen to.
Note: I am not sharing this to glorify drug use. Do not become a drug addict! This is totally different from serious spiritual use of psychedelics. I am extremely against any kind of drug addiction, including weed. If you think I am a drug addict, you are completely wrong and you will ruin your life. There is nothing cool about drug addiction. It's pure zombie mode. This is antithetical to all Actualized.org values. This video is an example of everything not to do.
I had a friend in high school who got into drugs like the dude in this video. He wanted me to get in it with him. Of course I refused. He ended up shooting himself in the head. Do not screw around with drugs. It's not fun.
