"Change your mind, Change Your Life" is one of the books reporting on
new neurological data and FMRI brain mapping. The Stoics were right; the
mind is like a muscle, and the right kind of diet and exercise can make
it more effective.

But lets start with the realization that the modern diet is deficient in
real nutrition and contaminate with petrochemicals as well. Lotsa kid's
minds did not develop properly. And it'll take pretty strong medicine to
have any impact on that at all.

If you look it up, you find out that LSD affects the resistance in the
dendrites to the transmission of signals. Often these neural pathways
get over loaded, and that produces the hallucinations. But early tests
done with LSD showed how it could also snap a psychotic or neurotic out
of a delusional state. Which it did by providing new neural pathways in
the mind that had been blocked by the delusional patterns.

Christianity is one of the more common delusional patterns. LSD reveals
that to the initiate. Even if all it does is create a state of doubt,
that is way ahead, and disempowers the demagogues in the pulpits.

I graduated in 1971 with a minor in comp sci and major in psych. I soon
found myself in the dungeon of a major med center involved in
transfering the records from paper folders into digital format. I looked
up the number of Emergency Room "LSD overdose" in the last fiscal year.
436 cases. Early on put in restraint, but halfway thru the year, they
switched to Thorazine, and just parked their ass in a corner.

The next morning the shrink came by, and of the 436, he decided to keep
17 for "further evaluation". But dig it. Had they just gone and grabbed
400 people off the street and sat them down with the shrink the usual
expectation was that he'd want to keep about 80, ie 20%% for the same
"further evaluation". The acid heads were saner than the "normal"
population. LSD does not make you crazy, it only makes it obvious.

I had a revelation a couple years ago when I went to a Rave hoping to
trade some Amanita Muscaria (it grows wild in my woods) for some LSD to
experiment with. The Acid dealer did not show up, so I sold the shrooms
I had, and then all nite long was amazed at the number of young women
who came back saying how grateful they were for the experience. Now, if
I was a young drug dealer, you mite expect this. But I was 67.

The zeitgeist for young women has changed in ways that hardly anyone
else is picking up on. Since the rave, I've expanded my research into
shamantic potions and shared them with young women. Who are so grateful
I even get laid. Not unusual for a drug dealer, but I dont deal in
addictive drugs. There is a growing market online from which to order
compounds witches and shamen all over the world still use. Anthropology
reports show up from time to time with more potions. Anthropologists
themselves now are going with the shamen into the sacred space at the
sacred time and experimenting with their own minds.
