—“What do you think of Ayahuasca Curt?”—
Um. I can’t comment on that because I’m a science nerd and I have to see something controlled. It’s true that the testimonies coming out of Ayahuasca were similar to those out of lsd, but ketamine came along and now we can pretty much say ‘yeah, these guys aren’t full of it’.
And at this point it’s not even POSSIBLE it’s psychological. I mean you can’t get that rate of success (+70%) unless the treatment really, really, really, effective. And it’s not effective on the trivial stuff, but on the chronic and devastating.
Whereas I’d have to argue recreational therapies were more likely taken on by those with less debilitating (if only for the discipline necessary to do it.).
And the reason I like the therapeutic is because you know if you have ANY chance of falling into schizophrenia or psychosis TRIPPING WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN. And then you’re permanently fucked. So that’s why I prefer the managed therapy.
I would have no problem microdosing myself if I got it from a fellow supergeek that was a long time practitioner. But otherwise I’d question the providence and be too worried to do it.

THE RECIPE FOR THERAPEUTIC HALLUCINOGENS
by Ivar Diederik
These conditions are extremely helpful:
1) If a novice, then a therapist or experienced guide. Once experienced, benefit can be derived from having the experience(s) in complete solitude.
2) Carefully weigh the dose, so that there can be no uncertainty or panic about “having taken too much”. It’s alright, and even useful, to take a high dose, but it must be a carefully measured high dose.
3) The most important part is the inner experience, not any conversation you have with the therapist. So the therapist must understand that he should not speak or ask more questions than is absolutely necessary. AFTER the experience on the other hand there can be lots of talking.
4) Thick curtains for complete darkness, or a comfortable eye cover. Headphones with instrumental music. May be any type of instrumental (classical, ragas, ambient etc.), preferably nothing too bombastic. When tripping alone, prepare the music list, because you might not be able to operate your computer or remember the names of artists while having the peak experience. The peak of a mushroom trip will last for about 4 to 6 hours. For LSD it tends to be 6 to 8 hours, but plan for 10 or 12.
5) When the peak of the experience is over but there are still some light after-effects, walk towards a body of water, like a river or a lake, and just enjoy the sight. If that is not an option, go sit in the garden with a glass of wine, or something like that.

As far as I know the IE peoples separated into european and indo-iranian branches, and my understanding via Armstrong is that it was because the eastern peoples ‘left’ (created a diaspora) because they could not compete against the west but they could compete south and east.
As far as I know (from the record) The Indo-Iranian religion was polytheistic.
As far as I know, zoroaster lived closer to 1000bc (earlier), even if the religion was formalized (like most were) centuries later.
As far as I know zoroaster and his work were addressed to the iranian branch, and to no small degree, to intentionally cause conflcit between the iranian and indian branches.
As far as I know the indian version of religion is the closest to our EASTERN ancestral religion.
But again the western ancestral and the eastern ancestral differed greatly in that in the western, men traded with and could often defeat the gods, where in the eastern version, men were dependent upon or submissive to the gods.
The difference is that IE’s disappeared through interbreeding with the peoples of india, the persians (iranians) were boxed in between india and the semites, Although they seem to have preserved most of their genetic independence until the arab conquest. And the west were isolated by the urals, mediterranean, black sea and alps, as were india and the chinese.

TRAUMA ETC
(open book policy is the best self defense)
Nah. No secret. Easy: Aspiness, Alcoholic father (but Amazing mother), violent childhood with lots of fist fighting. Long history of illness, Cancer twice, some nasty biz stuff. So, I’m not special in any of those regards. Autism can be best explained by the “intense world hypothesis” which basically means we have fewer filters. So everything is LOUDER (more intense) so to speak. It took a lot of work to develop enough filters (mindfulness). Hence my understanding of the combination of the stoics on method and nietzsche and aryanism on the ‘overman’. I’m hyper competitive and I love it, and I have low agreeableness, and an off the chart sense of orderliness, so you know…. I can (and love to) fight through anything – unfortunately, that too often includes my body’s ability to sustain life (and good judgement). lol. So it’s nothing complicated. Aspieness is just an amplifier, so Aspie+Trauma is … challenging. And that is why I try to help other guys on the spectrum. Because I understand there is very little help out there for them. When I went through it we didn’t know this stuff. I’d save others the pain if I can. It’s cathartic.

Only two cities have any chance of self defense and that’s NYC and DC. Even then, the damage 10K armed men would do would be as nearly unrecoverable as artillery.

THE SCIENCE OF RELIGIONS
>>1) Will Jesus be successful in saving everyone he intends to save?
The individual we refer to as jesus might have existed, however almost everything other than his disruption of the temple, and his crucifiction is fiction created by Paul. Paul created Christianity, not Jesus. The reason we know that is that all the ‘jesus stories’ were originally babylonian or a derivative thereof. Just as the old testament is merely plagiarism from the babylonian record.
>>2) Has anyone, or WILL anyone, actually go to hell?
There is no heaven or hell, they are just babylonian fictions that metaphorically assist us in judging one another’s characters, and by character we mean contribution to, or harm to, the polity. At best we can consider heaven and hell the memories of those whose lives you affected, and the record of their actions in response to your display word and deed.
>>3) Therefore
THE OATH OF TRANSCENDENT MAN; A PAGAN, A CHRISTIAN, AN ARYAN, A WARRIOR, A MAN TRANSCENDENT
I am a pagan if 1) I accept the laws of nature as binding on all of existence; and 2) if I treat nature as sacred and to be contemplated, protected and improved; and 3) I treat the world as something to transform closer to an Eden in whatever ways I can before I die; and 4) if I deny the existence of a supreme being with dominion over the physical laws, and treat all gods, demigods, heroes, saints, figures of history, and ancestors as characters with whom I may speak to in private contemplation in the hope of gaining wisdom and synchronicity from having done so. And 5) if I participate with others of my society in repetition of oaths, repetition of myths, repetition of festivals, repetition of holidays, and the perpetuation of all of the above to my offspring. And 6) if I leave open that synchronicity appears to exist now and then, and that it may be possible that there is a scientific explanation for it, other than just humans subject to similar stimuli producing similar intuitions and therefore similar ends.
As far as I know this is all that is required of me to be a Pagan.
I am a christian if I have adopted the teaching of christianity: 1) the eradication of hatred from the human heart. 2) the extension of kinship love to non-kin. 3) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war.
As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Christian.
I am an Aryan if 1) I proudly display my excellences so that others seek to achieve or exceed them; 2) I seek competition to constantly test and improve myself so I do not weaken; 3) I swear to speak no insult and demand it; 4) I speak the truth and demand it; 5) I take nothing not paid for and demand it; 6) I grant sovereignty to my kin and demand it; 7) I insure my people regardless of condition, and demand it; and in doing so leave nothing but voluntary markets of cooperation between sovereign men; and to discipline, enserf, enslave, ostracize or kill those who do otherwise; 8) to not show fear or cowardice, abandon my brothers, or retreat, and 9) to die a good death in the service of my kin, my clan, my tribe and my people.
As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be an Aryan.
I am a warrior in that 1) we will prepare for war so perfectly that none dare enter it against us. 2) Once we go to war, we do so with *joy*, with eagerness, and with passion, and without mercy, without constraint, and without remorse; And 3) before ending war, we shall defeat an enemy completely such that no other dares a condition of our enemy, and the memory of the slaughter lives a hundred generations.
As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Warrior.
As far as I know, if I succeed as a Pagan, as a Christian, as an Aryan, as a Warrior, then I have transcended the animal man, and earned my place among the saints, heroes, demigods, gods, in the memories, histories, and legends of man.
And that is the objective of heroes.
We leave the rest for ordinary men.

ADVOCACY OF KETAMINE THERAPY
As a trauma survivor myself, I would not wish on anyone the work it took me to leave it behind. And I have willpower few can imagine, and fewer can muster, and I also have had friends, partners, and family to help me. So I can’t recommend this ketamine (or hallucinogen) model (when controlled) enough. If the problem is trauma (memory) it can be fixed. If it is physical (immunological, or developmental) the individual will permanently need drugs to compensate. But if it’s trauma this family of treatments is both explicable (we can say why it works), has only lovely side effects, and is absurdly effective. Depression is pain. And it’s pain, largely from exhaustion, and exhaustion from trying to avoid trauma – each ‘revisitation’ (of memory) which reinforces it. These treatments create distance (separation) that allows you to easily retrain your brain. We are not talking 10 or 20% effectiveness here. We’re talking +70% effectiveness. It works.
(Truth in Advertising: No I have not had this treatment, and I don’t have need to, although low dosing hallucinogens is common among my peers, and I’ve considered it for reaching peak performance. The data is just very, very, impressive whether formal (ketamine therapy by doctors) or informal (hallucinogens with friends). My brand of Aspiness is a sort of OCD-in-thought that seeks order in everything, and chemical assistance helps me change context rather than work myself to death. lol Which I seem to try to do at every opportunity.
-cheers )
