Getting High for the 1st Time

[satyagraha]

Diogenes of Sinope, I had a great time last night, reading about your login name. I, as a lysdexic dropout, am not widely read, especially in the classical sense. There were some great stories of your namesake. I had to smile, wondering if you perform some of those same antics.


Namasté,

Satya

And of course Modblot has tried Salvia which is known to be pretty damn rough. Sounds like Modblot's was no exception. Ask for gentleness from your spirit teachers and from the Earth. It worked for me anyways.

And as for writings the Lao Tzu is great. Many people lose their taste for books after being in the presence, at least for a while, because it can't be written down.

Take care of yourself. Don't get too impatient because you do literally have eternity I think. Tai Chi, Yoga, and Dahnhak can all help with this in a pretty safe, time honored way.

<strong>Satya</strong> did you hear the story about Plato admonishing Diogenes for poverty? Plato and Diogenes had both had the opportunity to go to Syracuse to advise the corrupt Tyrant there for big pay. Plato became rich because he went. He came across poor Diogenes washing lettuce in the market for a penance along with women and children. Plato said:

<blockquote>Poor Diogenes, if only you had gone to Syracuse you wouldn't have to lower yourself to wash lettuce for a living!</blockquote>

Diogenes replied:

<blockquote>Poor Plato, if only you would have washed lettuce for a living, you wouldn't have had to lower yourself by going to Syracuse!"</blockquote>

Thanks Satya for filling up my reading que. Since sacraments i prefer are illegal and I am now being a good law abiding Dad I need these more Earthbond sources (and to keep practicing meditation).

No, I didn't come across that one. That exchange between Diogenes and Plato reminded me of the character, Larry Darell, in the Bill Murray version of <em>The Razor's Edge</em>. It's a movie I really love. Have you seen that one, based on W. Somerset Maugham's novel?

No Satya, but I have added it to the list now thank you. and definitely n a m a s t e.

For all you Oregon peeps. After a good fall rain you will find tiny teachers right at the front of Columbia park by the entrance sign.

Muhahahahahaha.

Love,

The paranoia and anxiety kinda go away the more you smoke I guess. You just learn a way to control it, or it just don't bother you anymore. Sometimes I'd get too baked and uncomfortable but I guess that's the same as learning your sweet spot for alcohol. Before I'd be super paranoid while driving, but that's all gone now. I called the cops stoned as shit before and had them cone to my house because somebody broke into my pickup halloween night. Cops never suspected a thing. My state isn't very friendly either. I lived in WA for awhile and that was a great place. Take a bike ride with a blunt, it was nice. I'll smoke bongs, joints, blunts, whatever flavored wrap they got. Just experiment and have fun. Days of pop cans and apples are gone fortunately.

Yeah I found some caps by a mazios in olympia WA. I think there's 26 strain of cubes up north west. I myself "study cubenis spores" purely for research purposes only of course. Growing them would be illegal.
