My First Trip to Salvia Divinorum
universoul:
First off, I’d like to make known that all videos exhibiting the various salvia trips, even to the slightest degree, do no justice as to what the person is actually experiencing. Not only are they embarrassing themselves publicly, but they are also creating a negative impression of salvia, which plays right into the hands of people who would like to make it illegal. This is actually...

People forget that even doctors have moral scruples and that certain patients’ confessions are hard even for even a doctor to swallow. Yet the patient does not feel himself accepted unless the very worst in him is accepted too. No one can bring this about by mere words; it comes only through reflection, and through the doctor’s attitude towards himself and his own dark side. If the doctor wants to...

Critical Thinking
We all have our opinions based on our life experience. And one of the things we have to realize is that opinion is constantly being conditioned by mass media. We’re constantly being indoctrinated by certain perspectives. Maybe some of the things I know aren’t true. Maybe the paradigms I’ve been used to might not be accurate. And so when I hear about a thought or idea that might...

CNN: Are jobs obsolete?
I am afraid to even ask this, but since when is unemployment really a problem? I understand we all want paychecks — or at least money. We want food, shelter, clothing, and all the things that money buys us. But do we all really want jobs?
We’re living in an economy where productivity is no longer the goal, employment is. That’s because, on a very...

Did you know that your thoughts can affect all of the functions of your body? WORRY thoughts trigger changes in your body’s overall chemistry, especially in your stomach, that can lead to ulcers. ANGER thoughts stimulate your adrenal glands and the increased adrenaline in the blood stream causes many body changes. ANXIETY and FEAR thoughts affect your pulse rate (duh).
Ideas that have...
