Long before actualism, I was already beating myself up.
Many already do that for various reasons.
Mine has a cross involved. A whole stale, archaic tradition based an the very real psychedelic trips of peasant Jews.
Make no mistake, psychedelic experience is the original source of change. Every single culture I know of has a tradition which, when stripped of the crusty and arcane literature, is basically those who would only go “half way” in some sort of “trip”.
Before I had ever heard of this guy and his theory, I had already tripped on LSA, in the form of Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds. I sat at my, somewhat ironically, Jewish DJs house in the rich leafy suburbs of Perth seeing that all of my religious traditions were just a way of navigating “putting oneself back together”.
The whole thing, was originally a trip.
How horrible to have all the rules and strictures of religion, without the original experience they were birthed in!
How is actualism any different really?
Wasn’t it a mushroom trip in 1980 which started all of this?
Isn’t it really that because it is highly illegal here, in Australia, that none of that information could be expounded upon?
Richard could hardly go public with a method, which, as he and others would have been well aware of, had psychedelic roots?
He was brave enough to not keep it a secret. However, because of the prevailing legal system, in this convict psychic desolation we call “Australia”, no further advice could be really be offered on the subject.
Sensible. For sure.
No one can fault someone keeping the legal laws of their country, considering the consequences of not doing so.
However, the internet is a different place than it was in 1992.
I can boldly say “I grew over 200 grams of Cubensis” and the fact is, unless you have a warrant, that is just a lie I told my obscure internet cult friends.
For the record, I know the police really well. I know there are those in the police that would indeed have a field day trying to destroy an obscure harmless “cult” such as ours.
I have been a child asleep in a truck when the police literally broke in an abducted myself and my brother, interrogated us in a stark white room.
All because my father wouldn’t give them his name.
The police in Western Australia, at least in the 1980s, were a law unto themselves.
The question is, and I am already answering it, will anyone talk about psychedelic experiences and actualism?
Right now, all across the internet, any number of hienous things are being promoted.
I know of at least one good cop. I assume there are more.
We talk of “breaking rules” as if there is no consequences. There are.
There are also consequences for keeping rules specifically designed to stop you exploring beyond what is considered “normal”.
Read between the lines and use your intent to find a way.
