Dr. Ball seems to have alot of really good insight into the psilocybin experience.....I agree that the experience is alot of work sometimes and that it is very rewarding because one can learn alot ......it seems to me that weather or not it is fun or not fun, the more one takes the more one learns...great interview Jan!!!!!!!!!

@realhopeforthepoor Thanks, but my Youtube videos are NOT the full interviews. These are just 10 min excerpts. If you want the full interviews go to the Gnostic Media website. It should say that in the video.

I agree completely. Go in with no expectations, relax, and pay attention. The mushroom will tell you what you need to know. I am beginning to believe that there is no place for recreational use of mushrooms though. They must be respected and valued.

Gnosis: Spiritual or divine knowledge through the act of experience.... Hmmm. Wonder what that experience could be?

[realhopeforthepoor]

I was just wondering if Dr. Martin Bell has ever partaken is a 5+dryed gram dosage of psilocybin and if yes then how many times?? and I was just wondering if you Jan have partaken of a 5+ dryed gram dosage and if yes then how many times? how about a 10+ dryed gram dosage? if yes then how many times? I think good trips and bad trips both can teach us alot.....the spirit in the mushroom decides weather or not we will have a good trip or a bad trip and it has to do with the motifs in ones heart

Everyone is a part of something when we experience these alternate realities, there are no walls and no need of separation. Within our own thoughts the more we distance ourselves from others the more distance we feel from ourselves.

We live our lives with ever decreasing minds, we become less and less outgoing and we end up sinking into loneliness. The entheogenic mushrooms open us up to brand new thoughts and possibilities.

Everyone can learn something from the teacher living within.

Peace

it's definately work. and what he is saying is important if you're journeying, or transforming reality around yourself, or yourself around reality....tomato tomaato

Yes I dig that recreational tripping can be limiting, but this "WORK!" emphasis is too much like the protestant work ethic! We need another word ;)
