@Z_The_Fittest@kevinmyoung I quote Holy Scripture. You bellittle people and call them names. “For man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
Jewish atheist takes big dose of LSD, encounters G!d as universal consciousness within and surrounding him, connecting all life, existence, and destiny. Wants to talk to someone about what to *do* about it but too nervous or embarrassed to share. We must support these people. 🌀
I like to think of #psilocybin use as a journey of exploration. There are voyagers and adventurers who go deep inside themselves to explore the uncharted depths of human psychology and consciousness.
This "dis/re" pattern seems to create opportunities for me to slowly and carefully integrate desired altered traits & behaviors into my newly constructed life story. It's also an opportunity to ditch the pieces that don't fit anymore. (4/4)
At the peak of my last three psilocybin trips (approx. 3.25g each) I have experienced a sort of "disintegration" of self in which all my personal (egoic?) identifiers (time, personal roles, citizenship, and even gender) have been stripped away. (1/4)
It always feels like the mushroom has taken a puzzle that represents my life and tossed it up into the air. It's then up to me to slowly pick up the scattered pieces and put them back together in a more constructive pattern. (3/4)
@EntheoloJew I was actually testing you to see if you “knew your stuff”. 😆 Actually, I took some inspiration from the concept of the yetzer hara and yetzer tov. And, of course, Ecclesiastes 3:11.
You are a mystery
Living at the balance
Light and Dark
Death and Life
Good and Evil
Matter and Spirit
You are nothing, but you are everything
God has planted eternity
in your heart.
“What did you do today?”
“Oh, I died at least 3 times, explored infinite realms of non-duality, merged with the universe, soul traveled beyond time and space, and lived 10,000 years in just a few moments ... and I went to the bank to make a deposit.”
“Cool, sounds fun.”
When the Universe is ripping you apart, sometimes it’s good to ask her nicely, “Excuse me, could you stop for just a minute so I can eat a granola bar and drink some Gatorade? Thanks.”

Rabbi Zac Kamenetz was one of the subjects of a Johns Hopkins University study that dosed clergy of various traditions with psilocybin. Now he's got some big ideas for the future of American Judaism.
