Study finds that psilocybin reduces activity in the brain - the greatest affects of psilocybin, according to MRI scans, shows significant reduction in brain activity in certain areas.

It was also shown that the connection between two parts of the brain (thought to "filter" information) was reduced, possibly eluding to Huxley's theory of psilocybin removing the filter in our minds.

hmm interesting... maybe it's because it allows the body to have a superconductive state or so so that we can "think" with the whole body... therefore needing less energy or so...well it is known that body and mind(physical brain?) form a unity and from a certain point of view you could also say that they are the same thing. maybe the body functions (or can function) like a mind ("computing" for example food ... LOL seems like a crazy idea but yeah...there is food for thought also so the analogy is not as far fetched as it may seem) and the same vice versa... mind you i am only speculating lol.... but to me it makes some sense... it's like a psychedelic theory... not a normal one... lol


peace

Psilocybin was promoted by an ex Public Relations CEO of JP Morgan who also happened to be a member of the Council of Foreign relations (Gordon Wasson). It came out that his Russian wife was actually a double spy. Also it came out that another character of JP Morgan around 1840, already was doing some research with psilocybin mushrooms. What exactly do they mean when they say 'Gordon Wasson discovered magic mushrooms'.... And this is only the tip of the psychedelic iceberg (search leary cia, pm me for some amazing breadcrumbs). If someone like that wants you to take psilocybin, you better assume it is meant to hurt you. Maybe not now, but in the long run. It doesn't have to be physical damage, it can be mental, bringing you to a sleep of a whole new level but still, deep asleep. And while you are sleeping, you are convinced that you are so much more awake than the rest of the profane. Don't take my word for it, research for yourself. You can only understand the present and the future by studying the past.

Don't take your history lessons from Terence Mckenna, he won't tell you the really fascinating things but only just enough to keep you going around in circles while planting the suggestion that you are actually learning anything instead of being led around in circles for years and years. When Mckenna talks about Huxley and/or Darwin, he leaves out the real interesting historic stuff. Stuff that he must have been aware of but for some reason, left out of his all his work. He (and mushrooms), had me by the balls for almost two decades. That's almost two decades of following bullshit and propagating that bullshit to everybody who wanted to hear (and everybody who didn't want to hear).

I know nobody wants to hear it, I would have dismissed it as bogus myself only six months ago.

Yeah thats what I thought when I first took mushrooms... Made you crazy and stupid but thought you were smart.

My question is, HeartCore, that if you believe this, and since you just replied to a pm that you are going to continue to grow mimosa, why would you indulge in mimosa, but not psilocybin?

>> There is no conspiracy to psilocybin. Leary was involved with the CIA because they were involved in psychic research at the time. They had dreams of truth serums, mentally transmitting information, killing people with "mind-bullets" etc. They were very interested in the brain in general.

Your speculations sound fear based Heartcore.

Are you sure that intellegence is all it is cracked up to be?

Do the animal kingdom face extinction based on the fact that the cheetah in the next province has developed nuclear weapons and and a keen fascination in trying to create black holes??? I think not....

Reducing brain activity could be very beneficial to some one like a schitzophrenic by the modern day neurological understanding of schizophrenia. That being, usually inactive parts of the brain are very active.

I would like to remind every one of the story of Faust.

I'm pretty sure psychedelics offer a deeper connection to the spirit and a clean spirit is far more important then an exercised mind. You have to be in the frame of mind to create the reality you desire

P.S. Why do you think we have intuition?

Scientific American Source wrote:Nutt and his colleagues suggest their results could explain some of the therapeutic effects of psilocybin. Depression involves hyperactivity in the mPFC, leading to the pessimistic outlook and pathological brooding characteristic of the condition, so mPFC deactivation could alleviate those symptoms.

This speaks volumes for what we all already know

Also, as we learn our brain creates networks and pathways. However not everything you learn is good, Take OCD for instance, Anxiety and uncontrollable fear. You must hardwire yourself to think like this and psychedelics give you the ability to undo this type of hardwiring. Plus, Not every one comes away feeling like they are super smart, Others merely find they have the ability to think for themselves.

The old saying that drugs makes you crazy is a myth, Not being understood could make you feel like you are going crazy but drugs merely bring to the surface that which was already there

i heard on Discovery channel, cant remember what was watching?
But the chemist was saying they had identified over 6,000,000 compounds produced by the body naturally but of those six million compounds only roughly 600,000 had been activated by the body.

He thought this very strange and definitive proof that Man was not all he could be, as he put it if the body could link these atoms together into unique molecular formation than it has the ability to Activate them Too.
He compared this to the Fact that Human Beings in present state only use arguably next to nothing of their brains active capacity, and the fact that our bodys can re-generate ourselves but do so soo slowly that we eventually grow old get sick.
