Bit pissed watching a programme about music in the late 70s and early 80s. Most of it is ****ing ****. Gang of Four? What the ****?
****ing ****ty death of a journey home. I’m currently stuck at Gatwick waiting for a flight to Newquay that’s been delayed. This after being delayed in Gran Canaria and landing at Gatwick at 3am, then missed the bus to my hotel So thought **** it might as well stay at the terminal for a 7:30am connecting flight which has now been delayed until 9:15. Gah !
Finally home. Broken. What an absolute puss filled scabby **** flap of a journey that was. I’ve flown home from South America before and it’s taken less time.
Dimethyltryptamine actually. I used to bring it back in the old plastic photographic film canisters. I never went crazy, just one on two pots. But enough hits to send even the straightest joe into the multiverse. Did you ever get to try some Ayahausca HIAG ?
No mate, a million miles from that. I thought I'd read before that you'd said you wanted to go deep with the full shamanic psychedelic experience ?
I do. Is that the stuff that supposedly replicates a full-blown near-death-type out of the body experience?
I guess that depends on your context of death, but essentially yes. It takes you completely out of your ego/body/self and into another quite astounding sense of reality.It's akin to the death of the ego, because everything that you think is you, is unceremoniously deconstructed in the most elaborate and undeniable sense. It's a very powerful tryptamine that occurs naturally in lots of plant material and in primates and humans brains and the traditional brew of Shamanic cultures in South America use a vine that contains DMT to make Ayahuasca. It's a very powerful substance and yet one that is entwined in our very brains, consciousness, dreams and experience of what it is to be 'me'. I'm not sure what experience of psychedelics you have ? The language used to describe it isn't really sufficent to convey it's effects. The experience exists beyond the confines of ordinary lexical doctrine.
Interesting. That sounds like the experience I'm after. I'd need to be coached through it, though, as the only drug (apart from alcohol) that I have dabbled with is ganja and a little bit of cocaine. The latter I didn't like at all and only did it a couple of times, just to see what it was like. The ganja (of which I have, in my younger days, tried various types) has had varying effects on me, ranging from absolutely nothing, through "the giggles," right across to full-blown spaced out. Even at its best, though, the effect has been fleeting. Plus, I don't like smoking.
I used to get a DMT extraction that was like a soft brown waxy substance that you smoked in a pipe. A friend of mine was a dedicated medicine man and spent years studying indigenous natural herbalism in Brazil and Venezuela. He used to bring back DMT to the UK in very small batches and circulate it to people that he thought was 'ready' for it. I'd spent years taking LSD before I met him, so we 'spoke' the same psychedelic language ... I had a few trips to Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela back in those days to spend time with him, and the 'tribe'. A mixture of English, Dutch, Spanish and Central / South American hippies who were all into the DMT experience. I took some risks in those days bringing it back to the UK, but I was always under the impression that if it was meant to be, then it would all be okay. Maybe a bit naive looking back, but I never got busted.
