Further Conversations With The Mushrooms On The Origin Of Everything

Guest post by Rachael Claire of The Wider Reality: “Why have we been given the opportunity to explore these possibilities, to try and figure this out if we always reach dead ends? Is it another cosmic joke perhaps? The “why?” will have you banging your head against a brick wall for eternity. Perhaps we aren't supposed to understand. If we understand then are we no longer needed? Would none of this be needed because the universe would finally understand itself? It would finally have the answer to its question. If the universe's exploration of self ends then does the very fabric of reality collapse?…”

“The oldest known story in the world, the Gilgamesh epic of Sumeria, is of a king weary of war and the spoils of domestic exploitation, on a quest to seek an ancestor who survived the Flood, and his inner Self.

“Ayahuasca visions have an apparently ‘exotic’ pedigree, vary with place and time, and have uncertain individual outcomes, posing the triple allure of a social challenge, a gamble, and a test of personal strength. Oracles of the dead are one of the rites of coming of age, taking personal stock, and quest or grand tour in every era and every culture…”

DMT: Ruminations on a Life-Changing Truth Serum

Guest article by Anton Newton: “To my total amazement, DMT proved how ignorant I'd been to the true possibilities, and how wrong I'd been about virtually everything in my reality for 47 years! Everything changed for me - and there was no going back. I was so shocked by how easily I'd let myself be fooled, and how certain I had been about reality.

“Artworks inspired by ayahuasca visions are part of the structuralist anthropology data that revealed about 100 recurrent motifs in subconscious behaviour since 2010. Features and spacing of characters in artworks enabled my discovery of five layers of perception and expression in all styles and cultures…“
