I say bump this thread. This is too beautiful not to share with all the folks who haven't seen it yet. Peace & Love "But even if nothing lasts and everything is lost, there is still the intrinsic value of the moment. The present moment, ultimately, is more than enough, a gift of grace and unfathomable value, which our friend and lover death paints in stark relief."-Rick Doblin, Ph.D. MAPS President, MAPS Bulletin Vol. XX, No. 1, pg. 2Hyperspace LOVES YOU

Absolutely fantastic. I don't know how I missed these the first time around. Endless I am very jealous. India has been on my list of places to visit for a long time now. If your religion, faith, devotion, or self proclaimed spirituality is not directly leading to an increase in kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for others then you have been misled.

Wow! Thank you so much for these images and writings, endlessness! My fascination with india has been growing on a daily basis as I have begun to dive into the Bhagavad Gita and other vedic writings. The dichotomy you reference was so perfectly stated, and is a large part of why im fascinated with this region of the world. Im sure I will have many questions for you as I begin to research the places you went, and start to plan my own journey to this sacred place, so I thank you in advance for your wisdom, empathy, knowledge, and advice! As antrocoles stated before, I feel like I was along for the ride with you! Im so happy you were able to have this experience, and I can't wait to follow in your foot steps. Peace and happy journeys All posts are completely fictional and for educational purposes only

Once in a Dheli hotel, the bathroom/tiled wet-room, the wall mounted (electric/plugged in) boiler set alight with blue flame and sparks while i was locked in taking a shower. Ive no idea how i survived.

Wow man, this is the only trip report I've seen with pictures. Incredible. What was your dosage?

Wow Endless, those are the most awesome forest and mountain photos I have ever seen. Looks like you had an epic journey worthy of a Tolkien tale or something. And with wild ganja to boot. Northern India, here I come! Sol Reverie is a fictitious creation of a lunatic mind, as are all of these statements.

Very nice photos, Endlessness. Glad you liked India. I have also been to India, to Dharamsala, Shimla, Manali, etc... "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"
