Don't recall where I heard this one: "76% of all statistics are made up on the spot" Disclaimer: All Entheogens and other research materials are not for Human consumption! I have researched by text the effects of consuming such things in case of accidental consumption. I have never actually consumed any of the materials I speak about and it should be assumed I'm speaking hypothetically. I have a wild imagination.

Thoreau wrote:The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man. The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.

the Toltec and Maya civilizations never originated on American soil but appeared there full-blown, with a well-defined art and system of hieroglyphic writing which possesses affinities with Egyptian. -William Comyns Beaumont "Rise above the illusion of time and you will have tomorrow's wisdom today."

You don't need new objects of appreciation. To witness and experience what you have is good enough. In fact, it's wonderful. It's already a handful, so you don't need anything extra. When you are not searching for a substitute or a better alternative to what you have, you feel quite satisfied. Satisfaction is appreciating ourselves and what we have already, naturally speaking. It is respecting the sacredness and the beauty of the world.

"I draw the curtains, and i wait.Actually, i am not waiting for anything, I am merely making myself absent.Scoured, if only for a few minutes, of the impurities which dim and clog the mind, I accede to a state of consciousness from which the self is evacuated, and I am soothed as if I were resting outside the universe". "To stretch out in a field, to smell the earth and tell yourself it is the end as well as the hope of our dejections, then it would be futile to search for anything better to rest on, to dissolve into.....". "Each time I have a lapse of memory, I think of the anguish which must afflict those who know they no longer remember anything.But something tells me that after a certain time a secret joy possesses them, a joy they would not trade for any of their memories, even the most stirring.....". ""For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened.....".No sooner are they opened than the drama begins.To look without understanding-that is paradise.Hell, then, would be the place where we understand, where we understand too much......". E M Cioran, 1911-1995. I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

"Writing about music, is like dancing about architecture." _ unknown. Maybe Martin Mull, Frank Zappa, Elvis Costello or Laurie Anderson. Who knows. I think this quote could be manipulated to fit the DMT experience. "Talking about the DMT experience is like..." Any ideas? Welcome Home Mister_Niles. We've Been Waiting For You.

UniverseCannon wrote:"one must never underestimate the power of a good hairdo. id like to write a song about hairdos. not about the people under them. then the dos will have the power by themselves" David Byrne Good one. My step-dad plays the guitar and sings, and he wrote a song called, "Girl with the Big Ass Hair". The lyrics pertained only to her hair, and had almost nothing to do with her. Now I'm all nostalgic. Here's a couple of my favorites: "I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, 'Why?' Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, 'No, that's not right.' Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything." ~ Tyler Durden - Fight Club - By Chuck Palahniuk "Once upon a time, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree, and they grew next to each other. Everyday the straight tree would look at the crooked tree and it would say 'You're crooked. You've always been crooked, and you will continue to be crooked.' 'Look at me, look at me', said the straight tree, 'I'm tall and straight.' And then one day the lumberjacks came into the forest and looked around, and the manager in charge said, 'Cut all the straight trees.' That crooked tree is still there to this day, growing strong, and growing strange." ~ Kneller - Wristcutters: A Love Story

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. - Aldous Huxley

"Man is made or unmade by himself, in the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy, strength, and peace.
By the right choice, and true application of thought, man ascends to divine perfection. By the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master.
Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul, none is more gladdening or fruitful of divine promise and confidence than this: that man is the master of thought, the molder of character, and the maker and shaper of condition, environment, and destiny" - James Allen

"Hard work guarantees you nothing, but without it, you don't stand a chance" - Pat Riley
"For this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky For the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that breaks it must die For the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runeth forward and back For the strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf" (I know it's not 100% accurate but it's close enough)
These were both thoroughly engraved into my brain during my time in highschool athletics
