Seriously, I do not understand the use of drugs for hallucinations.
Aren't they then just trips from the drug and no more real then a
dream?
I suppose it may be that I have astraled and shapeshifted since the
fourth grade when Merlin taught me. It has become so commonplace I
could be in the Scottish Highlands as I type this.
I do not even see a cord anymore. In fact sometimes I am tempted to
just cut it and stay. It is the same with magick and me.
I do tend to fall asleep and lose recall, but that is more a
scheduling problem with younger kids. In time I remember, it just
takes the time I do not have as much of to focus on the recall.
Then again, sometimes behaving as a lower self persona on the forums
and posting helps recall for me in ways others do not quite get~ ;)
