Phanerothyme' Psychedelic Information Center Cambridge, Mass. All rights reserved. Used by the Council on Spiritual Practices with permission of the author. This essay has been difficult to write. It is very hard to talk about religious matters. The latter temptation has been made weaker in my case by the fact that I do not recognize my own experience in very much of what has been written. I make no contention that my experience is the only or the typical form of response to these drugs. Perhaps the use of a booklet like this is not that it will be believed or agreed with at the first reading but that it will function as a reminder of an alternative approach when some of the current approaches prove unrewarding. The ideas expressed in this pamphlet have developed out of some dozen phanerothymic sessions over the past five years. I believe that they can be confirmed by others, with the help of the guide lines set down in my manual, Session Games People Play [1]. What is psychedelic?
MDMA / Ecstasy : Utopian Pharmacology The Mind Mapping Software Weblog InformationTamers.com, a web site created by the developers of Topicscape, a 3-D mind mapping software program, walks the reader through concise and engaging analysis of different information management solutions, and their strengths and weaknesses. Here are a few highlights: Indexing software: This genre of programs indexes the contents of your computer's hard drive and then enables you to conduct keyword searches it. This type of software was of limited use to the author because it was hard to come up with a precise search term that would deliver the results he was looking for. Like using a web search engine, these indexing programs often returned too many irrelevant results. Mind mapping/concept mapping software: These tools moved information management into the realm of a “visual road map,” which made it easier to “see” pieces of information and how they fit into the larger whole.
Home Page 12 Rude Revelations About Sex In order to transcend the discomfort that sex typically stirs, you may need to radically rethink desire, marriage, fidelity, and much more. Sex, we have been led to believe, is as natural as breathing. But in fact, contends British philosopher Alain de Botton, it is "close to rocket science in complexity." It's not only a powerful force, it's often contrary to many other things we care about. There's no denying that sex has its sweaty charms, and in its most exquisite moments dissolves the isolation that embodied life imposes on us. If we turn to sex books to help us work out this central experience of our lives, we are typically assured that most problems are mechanical, a matter of method. Why do most people lie about their true desires? It is rare to go through life without feeling that we are somehow a bit odd about sex. Most of what we are sexually remains impossible to communicate with anyone whom we would want to think well of us. How is sex a great lie detector?

Entheogens in the Vajrayana Tradition Warning: datura is an extremely powerful and dangerous hallucinogen. In addition to the dangers inherent in severe hallucinosis, the plant is quite toxic. There have been reports of coma and death resulting from this toxicity.The broad definition of entheogen used here is: "plants or substances capable of producing visionary experiences which are used for magico-religious or psychospiritual purposes." The use of entheogens in the Vajrayana tradition has been documented by such scholars as Ronald M Davidson, William George Stablein, Bulcsu Siklos, David B. This investigation has focused primarily on the use of entheogens in the anuttara-yoga-tantra materials especially (but not exclusively) the Yogini-tantras. The findings that have the most immediately obvious significance are the numerous references to pills, siddhi-drugs, and rasayana elixirs that contain either datura or cannabis. The importance of ointments and homa-rituals making use of datura is not as readily apparent. David B.
Using Silk Road Please enable JavaScript for math equation rendering. The cypherpunk movement laid the ideological roots of Bitcoin and the online drug market Silk Road; balancing previous emphasis on cryptography, I emphasize the non-cryptographic market aspects of Silk Road which is rooted in cypherpunk economic reasoning, and give a fully detailed account of how a buyer might use market information to rationally buy, and finish by discussing strengths and weaknesses of Silk Road, and what future developments are predicted by cypherpunk ideas. The website Silk Road (SR), a drug marketplace operating in public, needs little introduction at this point, after Gawker’s 2011 article went viral, drawing fire from the likes of US federal Senators Schumer & Manchin. It was probably the single most famous commercial enterprise using Bitcoins; some speculated that demand from SR patrons single-handedly pushed the exchange rate up by $5 the weekend of the Gawker article.
