[MD] Suicide vs. Solutions

[gav]

hi marsha.

sorry to seem a doomsayer. that is not my intention,
though i can see that my comments can be seen that
way. i suspect my unconscious intention is to use
shock a little in order to shift realities. 

i don't think it useful to see ourselves as consumers,
full stop. this is a very reduced view of humanity. it
is very SOM (consumer and consumed). 

i have been thinking a lot about what the best ways
forward are. radical change is the only solution - and
nothing is more radical than shifting to a new
reality.  i believe that the MOQ is an intellectual
bridge to a new reality.

 i think we are still on the bridge, caught between
the old and new worlds, and this is a frightening,
even schizophrenic situation. but we can't go back - 
we can't return to the old world and hope for the best
- SOM has to be superceded.  so how do we move forward
off the bridge and into Quality reality?

perhaps we first need to weaken the patterns of the
old SOM reality -  those patterns that bade us return
to the comfort of familiar SOM territory.  the
intellectual patterns of the MOQ help do this but they
also state clearly that what is primary is the
undifferentiated aesthetic continuum. getting in touch
with this source regularly, daily,  is a necessity.
meditative activity (or inactivity) is key here. it is
central to a healthy happy life and, by logical
extrapolation, an harmonious society.

i haven't got the specific answers marsha because i am
trying to work them out for myself. i think that is
the point: we have to work it out for ourselves - no
one can work out your life for you. by getting in
touch with the source we are getting in touch with an
intelligence greater than our own. it is from here
that our individual answers arise.

all i know is that i live for those times with
friends, music, drink, dance and maybe a few mushrooms
when i feel the abundant joy of existence and overflow
with love for all and everything. it all seems so
simple - so obvious sometimes.

a simple summary of my vision of quality reality... a
life in harmony with nature. i believe, like albert
hoffman, that our psychic separation from nature is
the root cause of our alienation. this is the mark of
SOM.
psychedelics help reconnect us with nature. they help
us see through the SOM illusion.

i'll shut up now.
