    Yea, I can't forget sleep deprivation. One of the most effective ways of altering states and inducing obe.
  3. addiction to air, food and water

    The 'highest' I've ever been was from pranayama, not lsd. A good bowl of Ph'o will produce a high for hours after consumption. And drinking a glass of water when dehydrated is pure bliss. The high from the basic three, air food and water, is so pervasive that I am compelled to a point where I describe it as a need... yet sometimes I wonder.
  4. Justifying the nature of the carnivore

    Each organ in turn has its own awareness, its own agenda and territory The merging and menacing interplay of the organs is itself a drama and a comedy at once.

  13. The decline and eventual fall of the USA as world superpower?

    My uncle was CIA in the sixties. He left America (expatriate) in the late sixties and returned just once to visit. I met him one evening for about two hours when I was 17. Talk about opening up my eyes... military industrial complex federal reserve bank ugh That entire system is psychotic in nature. Fortunately for anything in our realm of 'reality'... anything that grows too yang will spontaneously shift to yin and vice versa. Just head to the beach and watch the waves. This system is one wave in an ocean.
  14. An Experiment in Buddhist Discussion

    I like Apech's answer of ignorance. In my experience the ignorance often manifests as attachment.
