The Fear of Life

by Leave a Comment

Quick Facts

-Some of us are so used to pain and ‘dark energy’ that we’re afraid of the light (positive emotions, people, experiences, etc)!

-We can expose ourselves to this light by meditating, and we can disidentify from our fear of it! Doing this is very healthy for our mental state.

Intro

Following my post on the fear of death, I’ve observed many, many people who are also afraid of life. Often I’ll try to lift someone out of their rut and they won’t budge, but in a way that screams “I want to be here because it’s where I’m comfortable.”

Some specific examples are trying new things, seeing things from a new perspective, and feeling good about themselves. Too many people are averse to doing these things, it’s actually hurting our collective existence on our lovely planet earth!

What Is The Fear of Life?

From my perspective, the fear of life is the fear of:

-Feeling better (higher) than you do right now.

-Trying things you’ve never tried before, especially if you’ve been told they’re fun and healthy.

-Seeing things from a new perspective, especially if the new perspective is better than your current perspective.

Case in point: I once worked with a man who was (still is) a workaholic. One day I mentioned how I used to be a workaholic when I was younger, and that I used to believe I had to work all of the time. I was about to finish the sentence with, “but I realized there is more to life than just working” when he interrupted with “well, you’re right!” In a tone that screamed, “I know what’s coming and I don’t want to hear it.” He wanted to hear what he believed (that we’re supposed to work all of the time) and didn’t care to hear about my higher perspective. That’s most likely the fear of life in action. Sorry dude, you’re a cool guy, but your mind is very, very closed.

I saw the fear of life in myself a few times as well! When I was working my first job my co-workers (and even some customers) would compliment me on the work I did, only for me to shoot it down. I truly didn’t believe I deserved to feel good, and I was afraid that even if I did I would do a poorer job than if I was feeling crummy.

And of course, the many times I sat down and talked with people about the truth of the world. Maybe one out of one hundred listened, the rest reacted with fear, anger, or otherwise ignored me. Most people wouldn’t even give my words any thought, even if I was talking to them because their actions were hurting me!

So, the fear of life is fairly easy to spot, and it’s everywhere. It’s the act of consciously staying in a low state of mind and body because of “fear of the light,” perhaps because it’s foreign and new.

Do We Really Fear Life? If So, Why?

As I’m writing this post I’m asking myself the question, “are these people truly afraid of feeling better, or are they afraid of something else altogether?” It could be that they’re simply afraid of the unknown, or perhaps they’re angry because they believe their mind cannot wrap around the perspective that’s being shown to them. But then, have they never taken the risks? Have they never faced their fears, been victorious, and felt the positivity on the other side?

And, if we put this in a literal perspective, the only thing we can fear is life because life is all that there is. I like to narrow it down to mean what I’ve explained above, however, the only other thing to fear besides life is death, which I’ve written on the fear of death here.

Some of us are afraid of being afraid, however, I don’t think that being afraid of being afraid is as detrimental as being afraid of being conscious, because I think it’s easy (and not very rewarding) to face our fear of fear, but it’s difficult (and very rewarding) to face our fear of consciousness.

And why, exactly? Partly because we’re wired to be creatures of habit, and partly because of the programming and conditioning we’ve been subjected to since a young age. We often get accustomed to feeling a certain way (or we get accustomed to feeling in a certain pattern/cycle) and any perceived changes are then seen as foreign, therefore worthy of skepticism, and even criticism! Sometimes the skepticism is understandable, but sometimes it’s held by people in a low state of being towards those in a higher state of being, and these are the kinds of people I want to address in the following section.

How Can We Stop Fearing Life?

It’s extremely easy to stay within the “black vibrational void” and not be able to experience any other form of life. In fact, some people believe they have no choice and are doomed to be “depressed” forever. But what’s the solution to this?

The easiest, quickest, most efficient, and safest way is by sitting alone, accepting our fear as it is, and then consistently choosing to feel the way you wish to feel! It begins with the abstract (you speaking/thinking the words) and it turns into a felt reality once you choose to go in that direction. Please keep in mind that if you have physical pain, a better solution may be to sit and accept the pain. This is much more difficult than accepting emotional pain, however, it’s still beneficial since accepting your pain will allow you to consciously choose the emotions you feel.

Then, you live in the experience! 

After doing this it’ll be much easier to do it again, and again. Then it becomes much easier to go explore (in your mind and/or in the world) and face the unknown, which gives massive loads of confidence. Eventually, it starts a positive snowball that doesn’t stop, and you’re living exactly the best way you possibly can, all of the time! 

You can also jump right into the fire as I did… After going through my shitty childhood I landed my first job in (pretty much a) cutthroat kitchen, moved to west Texas and got a job at a high-end country club (where we served 800+ people on the Easter of 2019), moved to East Texas to get a better job, failed, then moved to Austin to be a delivery driver… All while sleeping in my car!

I also faced my fear of life by doing mental work… Whenever a fear would pop up I’d disidentify from it and ask myself, “why do I feel this way? Is it rational, or should I let it go?” That combined with some other “sorting out” of my mental stuff greatly aided in making me who I am today.

I’m not saying you should be as unconventional as I was (or put yourself in as much danger as I did), but I am asking you to face your fear of life in whatever way you see fit. I’m asking you to do it consistently, and even to let it snowball in a positive direction as time goes on! I have provided the process, now I’m asking you to follow through 🙂

Final Thoughts

I love feeling good, and sometimes I still feel a strong urge to go back to the fear and suffering I once knew. Maybe I should consciously break that habit, and now that I think about it, I have been slowly breaking that habit as time goes on.

Also, if you know someone (if you’re friends with them, if they’re your family members, etc) who is dead set on being afraid all of the time, I encourage you to see them as an opportunity to develop your own ability to be positive in their negative presence, and/or a person to avoid as much as possible. You have every right to not spend time with them, after all 🙂

Conclusion

Thank you so much for reading my post! I’m truly grateful for your presence, and I’ll see you next time!

On Death

by Leave a Comment

Quick Facts

-Death is often considered the ceasing of physical existence, however, death can be considered in a psychological sense as well!

-Going through egoic and psychological death is very healthy for us!

Intro

Death is such an interesting topic. So many people are frightened of it, and many people embrace it as well! But what is death? Can we consider death to be anything else besides what we traditionally associate it with? Even if we could, should we?

What We Consider To Be Death

As it stands, almost everyone believes that death happens when a living being ceases to live in the physical world. When our breath is gone, our heartbeat stops, and we permanently stop moving others consider us to be “dead.”

This can be thought about all kinds of living things – squirrels, trees, dogs, rabbits – when they permanently stop moving, they’re “dead.” 

Also, some people are smart and remark that someone seems “dead” or “brain-dead” when they exhibit a lot of black energy. They are beginning to refer to death as a mental state rather than a physical state.

What Death Can Really Be

While we think of the above as death, there is another perspective I want to write about! 

When a tree dies, for example, it goes into the soil and becomes fertilizer for other plants and trees to grow on top of it. Since its nutrients are being used for another tree to grow can anyone say it actually died?

Some people argue that death and decay can only truly happen if we don’t let the earth reclaim its own, by putting our bodies in caskets, for example. When life “dies” it becomes the grounds for new life, and anyone/anything that disrupts that process is asking for trouble! The earth only has so many resources, after all.

Others argue that death simply doesn’t happen, and that life always carries on whether it be in physical form or metaphysical form. 

And lastly, speaking of the metaphysical, death can refer to psychological/emotional death. We tend to hold the same beliefs, emotions, and fears for a long time, and they grow in intensity the longer we identify with them. When we disidentify from them and release them from our being we refer to this as ‘ego death,’ and it often feels like death when a feeling that intense becomes replaced with another intense, positive feeling.

Why Death Is Good For Us

Most of us are afraid of death and dying! I see a lot of people who harbor a subtle (sometimes not-so-subtle) fear of death, and I want to argue towards the contrary – if we’re afraid of death and dying all the time our quality of life will dramatically decrease on the mental and physical levels. It’s the same for any kind of chronic fear, but it’s especially true for the fear of death since most of us fear death more than anything.

In fact, the act of death itself can be seen as rather… Unceremonial! When we take the emotional context away from it it’s rather simple and painless. This is me talking about the physical death, but what about the metaphysical death?

When a large but detrimental (outdated) part of our psychological/emotional being is disidentified from, we often become a different and better person entirely! We feel better, we treat ourselves and other people better, we are more likely to think and perform well, the list of benefits goes on and on. While metaphysical death can feel painful, I assure you, anything that deserves to be slain in the mind probably wasn’t worth identifying with anyway. Learned from? Maybe. But not identified with!

However, this kind of death is intense and, often, unpleasurable. Digging up traumas, old emotions of the past, and subconscious/suppressed pain hardly ever feels good in the moment, especially if it comprises a large part of our identity. However, if we’re willing to let it go, feel the intensity, and come out on the other side, we’ll have gone through a kind of death that’s very important to our well-being!  

Why We Shouldn’t Be Scared

Some of us mistake the fear of death as the actual act of death itself. Sometimes we say “wow, I feel like death” because the pain and suffering that we feel can be thought of to be like death.

In reality, however, there is no reason to associate pain, fear, and negativity with death. This is why I propose we shouldn’t be afraid of any kind of death! And what I mean by this is, literally, we shouldn’t identify with the fear of death. Perhaps we can feel the feeling, but we shouldn’t identify with the feeling and be the feeling. We should feel the fear and pain, accept it for what it is, then release it, because that provides a lot more wellbeing than simply staying afraid! 🙂

Final Thoughts 

My speculation is that we’re programmed to be afraid of dying from a very young age. TV shows, movies, commercials, our parents, other adults… I’ve even gone so far as to speculate that the government does this on purpose so it can keep most of us compliant and afraid. It makes sense since this is what an intelligent government would do if it was completely and totally void of morality or positive power and totally obsessed with gaining control and corrupt power, which is true for most (if not all) of the (at least American) government.

I used to think that all fear stemmed from the fear of death, however, I’ve recently been wondering if other fears are completely autonomous and completely okay with existing on their own. IE, she’s scared to meet this new group because she wants them to accept her. Why does she want them to accept her? Because she wants them to accept her. And the loop continues. I feel as if I cannot say the fear of death is the root of all fear, however, I can say that it is the root of a lot of fear, pain, and suffering, so I highly encourage you to disidentify from it by continuously repeating, “I choose to disidentify from the fear of death. I do not need to fear death anymore.”

Conclusion

Thank you for reading my article! I hope you found some value in it, and I’ll see you in the next post 🙂

2 Ideas to Help Prisoners Become Better People

by Leave a Comment

Quick Fact

-Prisoners are often angry and/or resentful, and letting them have a healthy outlet is an idea to help them become better people.

Intro

We have people in our society who are deemed too offensive to live among us. Violence, drugs, suspicious activity – you name it. Some people find themselves locked behind bars, whether they deserve it or not. 

I’m not here to plea the innocence of these people, but rather I’m concerned with their current state of being and how it can be improved. Today I will present two ideas that will improve the quality of life in prisons across America!

Idea Number One

He’s running down the street as fast as he can with the police in hot pursuit. He cuts through his neighbor’s backyard, waking him up in the process, and making him quite angry. The police eventually catch him and pin him to the ground, and force his hands behind his back. He’s handcuffed and, after due process, he’s sent to a jail cell.

Depending on the jail he may have things to do, or he may not. He may have recess, work, mealtimes. He may even have access to drugs. However, there is one thing that he probably doesn’t have access to, and that is a punching bag.

Yes, a punching bag. Let me explain!

Prison inmates often (if not always) harbor intense amounts of anger. If anger is allowed to build without release for an extended period of time it can manifest as a criminal act, since ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. 

It’s important to give inmates a way to release their anger. They shouldn’t have to sit and let it build up all over again because it

may very well manifest as another criminal act if they’re ever released. This results in a vicious cycle that isn’t helpful for anybody.

It’s also important to give them limited access to the punching bag on a predictable time schedule. This is for psychological reasons. If you give them a punching bag in their cell then they may never use it, since it’s always available to them. However, if it’s only available from 3:00 pm-3:30 pm every day, some of the prisoners will start to anticipate beforehand and be more willing to participate. 

Depending on the layout of the prison there can be punching bags in the main room, outside, the recess area, etc. The prisoners should be encouraged to punch the bags as hard as they can for at least 30 minutes, and this will help them live out their anger. This will make life easier for them and the staff who work with them every day.

Idea Number Two

We have AA, Alcoholics Anonymous. Almost everyone is familiar with the program since it’s been around for a long time. 

I think prisoners should be required to attend PA (Prisoner’s Anonymous) meetings. The reason for this is simple. When prisoners live together inside of prison they begin to make connections with each other. This connection building can make them even more dangerous if and when they’re released back into the world, especially if they’re still harboring excessive levels of resentment.

If it becomes a mandatory requirement for different prisoners of different backgrounds to sit and make connections with one another (especially with psychological professionals and guards in the room) there will be an absence of one nasty thing in particular – loneliness. We want our prisoners to heal, and the best way to do that is by teaching them how to make strong, genuine connections with each other so they don’t feel isolated and ignored, two feelings that can sometimes lead to violence and the sense of needing revenge.

Conclusion 

Beyond these two ideas, we should aim to make our jails a place of recovery, not a place of stagnation. Or worse, resentment. If prisoners have a way to express their anger and a way to form genuine connections with other prisoners/people while they’re there, then everybody will have an easier time, staff, inmates, and the world alike.

Sincerely,

-Gabriel

On Emotional Suppression

by Leave a Comment

Quick Facts

-Many of us suppress our emotions, either consciously or subconsciously, for many different reasons.

-Suppressing our emotions doesn’t make them go away; they go into the subconscious, and they begin to control our lives until they are realized, disidentified, learned from, and (usually) transcended.

-We can heal from the pain that arises from suppressing our emotions!

Intro 

I should have written this article long ago, it’s very applicable to many of our lives but I’ve simply been on a roll with the 80+ ideas I’ve come up with!

Suppression is a silent killer in the world we live in today. I speak to America in many of my articles, however, I understand that every country in the world suffers from emotional suppression, and some on a very intense scale. What is it? Why is it terrible for us? How can we stop doing it and heal ourselves? These questions and more will be answered below 🙂

What Is Emotional Suppression?

Emotional suppression is when we consciously or subconsciously keep ourselves from feeling an emotion. We “push it down,” so to speak, into the depths of our mind so that we can ignore it and go about our daily lives.

Why Do We Do It?

Sometimes we do this automatically, like if we experience a traumatic event or live in a traumatic culture. When we do it consciously, it’s usually because we want to stay composed and keep going (IE, at a funeral or at work).

Emotions can be intense, sometimes they’re too intense for our minds to handle, especially when we were younger. It also didn’t help if we experienced something traumatic as a child and our parents tried to sush us or otherwise stop us from crying because by doing so they were encouraging us to suppress our emotions, which is a terrible idea, as we’ll see in the next paragraph. 

And, we didn’t necessarily have to witness a murder to consider an event traumatic – trauma is tightly linked with expectation, the more intense your expectation, the greater the trauma if it happens to be violated. Many children have the subconscious expectation that their parents will be around forever, so if they get momentarily lost at a carnival, they will probably remember that for the rest of their lives in a not-so-pleasant tonality.

Why Is It Bad For Us?

Okay, we like to suppress emotions – big deal, right? The brain does it automatically so it mustn’t mean too much, right?

Even though we automatically suppress emotions this line of thinking is very, very wrong and very, very dangerous. This is true because of one simple fact – suppressing an emotion doesn’t make it go away, it just pushes it into the subconscious part of your mind. It still exists, and now that it’s not conscious it seeps into our lives in ways that are subtle and, sometimes, detrimental to our wellbeing.

I can hear you out there saying, “but Gabriel, what if this is simply your belief? Don’t you know that you can create your own reality with the beliefs you hold and that they aren’t necessarily the same for everybody else?”

This is so, however, there is a difference between a psychic belief and a psychic fact – a belief is something made and acted out by us crafty humans, however, a psychic fact is a truth that exists in the psychological realm whether we believe in it or not. Case in point, I received all of my information used in this post from direct observation of myself and other people, and I can guarantee you these “other people” did not have a clue as to what emotional suppression was, let alone believed in it – but they acted it out anyway.

So let’s take anger as an example – if we suppress our anger and never let it out it continues to ball up inside of us and stay in our subconscious. But, since it isn’t going away, it expresses itself by influencing our mood, perception, beliefs, and actions. For example, “life is just terrible… There’s always something going on I don’t like” is a great example of a belief created in the spirit of repressed anger. 

Once the beliefs are created they are almost always played out, and what happens when repressed emotion is the cause for many of the beliefs most people hold? You get today’s insanity. Insanity has spread all over the world simply because we suppress our emotions in favor of other things.

How Can We Heal From It?

But of course, there is a way out! We can feel our suppressed emotions, release them, and become much happier and clear-minded in the process.

I’ve come up with some guidelines after healing from my own suppressed emotions ever since I was a teenager. They are guidelines, so I don’t follow them every time, but most of the time I find them extremely helpful:

-First, I pay attention to how I feel in the moment. If I’m thinking about letting out some suppressed emotion it’s almost always the case I feel crappy right at the moment. So I pay attention to what it looks like in my mind, and where it is in my body (chest, solar plexus, abdomen, etc).

-When I have a visual and a location of the feeling I have successfully brought the feeling from subconsciousness into consciousness. I have options here; I can keep my mind’s eye on it and let it play itself out to its entirety, I can “expand” my visual of it by “zooming out,” I can disidentify from the emotion, I can ask myself some questions, and/or I can physically act it out. Usually, I do a combination of these things at a time, whatever feels right for that particular emotion at that particular time, and I’ll almost always ask the questions “which underlying beliefs cause this feeling to appear and stay? Why do I believe I need this feeling?” especially if holding on to it isn’t a good idea.

-Then, when I have felt and questioned and acted it out, I enjoy bringing logic into the mix. For example, if I’m dealing with suppressed sadness, I can ask myself “why is this feeling here? What purpose does it serve?” and try to find a better, less detrimental way to be. Sometimes the reason is simple and sometimes it’s complex, sometimes there are multiple reasons for the emotion to be present, sometimes there are no reasons at all. However, once I’ve answered myself honestly I’ll have an advanced understanding of my situation.

-At this point I’ve brought my feeling into consciousness, empathized with it, and analyzed it. I understand it, why it’s there, and better ways to be in place of it. I then release it, sometimes I replace it with new beliefs and feelings, sometimes I don’t. Usually, this goes something like, “I choose to feel this feeling completely and permanently release it.” If I don’t completely understand the suppressed emotion before I make this decision it usually stays until I understand it. I could force it to leave without understanding it, but where’s the fun in that? 😉

Now, this process may be completely different for you. Perhaps you prefer to let your emotions out through physical violence or a jog on the street. Maybe your most effective way of letting out suppressed emotions is different from everyone else’s, that’s why I recommend you create your own process/processes.

Final Thoughts 

Emotional suppression is a gigantus problem. It really stunts our well-being, self-control, and general enjoyment of life as a whole, and even if you don’t feel as if you have any suppressed emotions I greatly encourage you to ask yourself if you do; you may surprise yourself!

It seems to me this is the best use of meditation, that is, to find and ultimately release suppressed emotion. Sitting still in a quiet room is a great way to build concentration and go through your process (unless you’re consciously acting out your emotions), and I encourage this reason for meditation over the lesser but growing reason; social popularity and, ironically, more suppression in the pursuit of positive emotion.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading my article! The path has been exposed, will you follow it? 😉

I’ll see you in the next post!

The Physical Effects of Psilocybin

by Leave a Comment

 Quick Facts

-Psilocybin has been proven to regenerate our brains and be very beneficial to our bodies!

-The mental effects of psilocybin are often seen as incredibly healing and eye-opening, among other things!

-We can reduce the potential risk of consuming psilocybin by taking the necessary precautions!

Intro

Psilocybin is the psychoactive molecule found in ‘certain’ mushrooms that some of us consume! It’s been the initiator of many psychedelic, loving, playful, transformative experiences that often permanently change people’s lives for the better.

However, something I’ve wanted to know for a long time is how the chemical physically affects our bodies. I’ve come across some information over the years but I’ve purposely withheld from researching until I decided to write this post. Let’s go on an adventure together, shall we?

Magic Mushrooms Are Best Known For… 

…their mind-blowing effects! These kinds of mushrooms are special in the sense that they can show us some very deep and wonderful parts of the mind, and because they can show us what enlightenment is really all about. I wouldn’t be surprised if 50 years of meditation cannot bring any of us to the kind of enlightenment that 5 grams of magic mushrooms produce, although I haven’t meditated for 50 years so I can’t confirm from first-hand experience 😉

I say ‘can’ because psilocybin mushrooms don’t do the enlightening for you – you do. The experience just helps you a little bit, kind of like a mushroom in Mario Kart. You get a good boost but you still drive around the track yourself.

But, How Does Psilocybin Biologically Affect Us?

I argue that the physical effects of psilocybin are just as important as the mental experience itself! Partly, of course, because the ingestion of the physical molecule is the reason the experience happens in the first place. 

It’s interesting because, when we ingest psilocybin, our body turns it into another chemical called psilocin. Psilocin has almost the exact same molecular structure as serotonin, so you can guess what happens when our body converts psilocybin to psilocin – it attaches itself to our serotonin receptors, specifically the 5-HT2A receptor. It has to pass through the blood-brain barrier to do this, and it also invites itself right into your bloodstream.

This is the moledule structure of serotonin
These are the molecule structures of psilocybin and psilocin

Psilocybin mushrooms generally feel good to consume, like how it feels good to produce a balanced amount of serotonin. This seems to be the nature of the chemical itself! Also, psilocybin has been proven to initiate neurogenesis and neuroplasticity which helps depressed people since their neurogenesis and neuroplasticity are often impaired. These two reasons are good enough to assert psilocybin as an alternative to SSRIs for curing depression, and this assertion is not farfetched in the least! I speak from personal experience 😉

It’s well-known that they make your blood pressure increase for a short time, so beware if you’re ingesting psilocybin with high blood pressure. Fear makes your blood pressure increase, so relaxing before and during consumption is very ideal, and I recommend avoiding high doses (or perhaps, psychedelic mushrooms entirely) if you have chronic blood pressure problems until you do some research. 

It amplifies all of our senses, including our physical senses, which is great for doing physical activities!

You may experience nausea when you eat psychedelic mushrooms. Eating a raw vegan diet 3 days before the experience and eating nothing the day of the experience greatly lessens the possibility of being sick!

This is all I can find, but to be honest, the fact that psilocybin has physical effects that are this amazing along with the mental and emotional benefits is astonishing to my eyes! It really makes me wonder why we haven’t accepted these little things like we’ve accepted oranges and apples, with a little more caution, of course.

If It’s That Good, Why Don’t We Ingest It Regularly? 

That’s a good question, especially if we’re depressed and the conventional methods aren’t working for us. 

The primary reason, from what I can tell, is because it simply isn’t in our minds or part of our intentions. And beyond that, even if we’ve heard of the amazing effects of psilocybin we may be suspicious of whether or not it’s actually good for us.

The secondary reason is that they’re illegal. Many of us respect the law a little too much and don’t give much thought to the possibility that they don’t know what’s best for us, and so even if we properly inform ourselves as to the amazing effects of psilocybin we may be afraid of getting caught and thrown in jail.

As far as the first point is concerned, it’s no longer a question or a theory – it’s a fact that psilocybin is healthy and helpful for our brains and bodies! Most of the sources I cite below are based on real, credible scientific studies that were carried out just to obtain an unbiased view of the effects of psilocybin. Almost all of them are positive and end with something like “more research is needed in this field,” which is a lot better than “we should never test the effects of psilocybin ever again since they’re harmful to the human body.”

And for the second point, this is often where I become angry – the government keeps psilocybin, LSD, and DMT as schedule I-C substances, and Schedule I-C drugs have “…a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.” Psychonauts already understand the ways in which we can safely ingest these substances, and I’ve explained how we can safely integrate psychedelics into our society here, so they shouldn’t be illegal whatsoever.

However, since they keep them on schedule I status many people assume that these are just more drugs that should be avoided. Many people view psychedelics with a suspicious eye simply because the government, who aren’t necessarily the smartest people, have a certain opinion about them.

Not to mention that if a cop sees you with mushrooms they’ll probably just throw you in jail, they usually don’t stop to think that “gee, since psychedelic mushrooms are good for you and healthy for your body, and since the law should is wrong in this regard, maybe I should turn the other way.” They want to make detective or otherwise uphold the law with no questions asked, and if you can be a stepping stone to their goal they won’t mind in the slightest.

This is where intelligence comes in. Since most of us benefit from ingesting psilocybin we should do everything we can to do so behind the government’s back. It’s kind of like snatching and eating a cookie from your parent’s cookie jar – you have to do it before they see you or else you’ll get in trouble! Grow your own mushrooms, know your local area, know your local police routines (where they go and when, and where they don’t go), take them when you’re least likely to get caught. Why? Because the people who outlawed psychedelics probably did it for nefarious reasons, reasons that we don’t need to adhere to today. We’re adults who can make our own decisions, and I encourage you to make the decision that’s best for you!

I say “most of us” because people who are mentally ill (or who have a family history of mental illness) and people with high blood pressure/cardiovascular problems probably shouldn’t ingest psilocybin. I recommend getting tested if you’re suspicious of one or the other, otherwise, if you’re a healthy person you’re going to be okay 🙂

Final Thoughts 

I apologize for the (probably unnecessary) rant about the law, I’m sick and tired of their corrupt and detrimental ways. 

When it comes to buying psychedelic mushrooms I would be very, very careful. Many people who sell them are shady and afraid of getting caught, I encourage you to only buy them from somebody you trust, love, and respect, otherwise, I encourage you to grow them yourself.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading! I’m so excited that you chose to learn about psilocybin, if you’re curious about other psychedelic substances you can read my post on DMT! See you in the next one!
