Ben posted this on the wikipedia tribe on the Datura thread. Below the quote is my reply.

"If you aren't ready to die you shouldn't be tripping anyway."

I love that quote. Funny how when I was young I always felt that way. My friends and I were like K Sutherland in Flatliners. We wanted to have the shit freaked out of us and have NDE. Interesting how the older I get how easy it is to forget that. It's still so true.

    I'm still waiting for my DE. They said sometime soon, but not how soon or sometime.

      there are so many ways to die & most of them aren't even physical...

      the death of old habits & patterns
      the death of out-dated idea & beliefs
      the death of draining attachments
      the death of life-styles & fashions

      so many people are zombies or lugging around cumbersome, energy draining 'life-support systems' because of their fear of death, on any level ~ keeping stuff 'alive' at any cost, to themselves and/or anyone else

      it's no wonder that zombie films are so popular with the mainstream ~ they strike a deep, subconscious chord with most people

      Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

      love all-ways,
      mem

        I'm sure it's because they are reminded of their bosses and coworkers ;-)

            Umm. That reminds me of growing up with a Swiss-German mom who loved preparing brains, beef heart, frog's legs, oysters, and escargot. to all of which we kids said, "Yuck!!!" It took us some years into our adulthood to appreciate them....

                <<Kind of a weird meal for a feast>>

                I vibe with that, Geert, but you and I and others have come to know what a thin veneer modern culture is, isn't it? I eventually found out how many of those marvelous dishes our grandparents, forebears, and ancestors ate that we think are "yucky." And how many are not only extremely healthy but also nutritious dishes and recipes....

    select your allies carefully these are the substances that will be covering your ass in this world

    if you can use and control Datura to your benefit, good on you

    if it uses you to ITS benefit, look out

    squirrelly as mushies might be, much more reliable ally always honest and working for your own good not its own - devious - agenda?
