Can We Love Each Other for a Thousand Years….OR MORE???

Depression is lack of Chi/energy; Manic Depression is too much Chi/energy and usually excess heat in the brain which needs to be circulated! Schizophrenia is stepping into developing the causal body which has a whole paradigm shift of developing into the Golden Elixir at least for this 
Tree of Life opport Unity. 



What did you have for lunch today? Dinner?

Came home after a walk around the neighborhood and turned on my space heater; it was a bit cold outside. Threw my Red, Sherpa lap blanket over the 

heater and my lap to contain the energy from the heater and began to circulate and cultivate Chi through proper channels to increase the flow of the 

Golden Elixir flowing down my throat which is generated from the organ between my ears! Of course I have had to learn the requisite skills to keep 

the liquid streaming down my throat instead of generating psychedelic landscapes. Psychedelic landscapes can be fun and funny to watch at times,

mostly they just distract from the ultimate goal of transforming my organs/body.Getting closer, day by day, to letting go of solid food. Mostly 

drink teas, distilled water and other good stuff to purify organs.
How long can a BEING live on LOVE??? Light and a few liquids when needed???



My interior reality skims on chemical realities that create times of what I label as times of BEing High, BEing in a state of RUSH or jumping into a state of feeling a state of ZOOM. I have not had much exposure to street drugs in my life time, but I have taken to interviewing friends about their drug experiences. I have one friend who is a recovering METH addict. His descriptions of what his experiences were match my experience of when I step into times of ZOOM. During these times crystals form in my nose! No, I am not using anything, just purifying what Advaita Vedanta speaks of as the food sheath, the Anandamaya kosha. Ananda can be translated as BLISS, in other words purification will result in the creation of BLISS! Yep, that is another word of how I would describe these states of BEing.

Bliss on a daily basis. Walking on Sunshine takes practice and really slowing down. Inhabiting these HIGHER states does not allow for fast walking, fast talking or fast anything! 

ZOOM on....slowly :)

Equipoise


One Day At a Time: Equipoise.

Well, I know I passed Drunken Soberness long ago. Drunken Soberness is a label Zen Masters have given to their experience. I hark back to the days when I was imbibing liquid mind altering concoctions and other experiences.



Once upon a time I was given brownies on a bus heading to a WHO concert. Yum, I said as I reached for the desert to grab two, they were a bit small portions in my estimation. The concert was very way cool. I remember feeling how great the music sounded, how it really seemed so harmonious and the crowd was so in tune with my every response to the experience of the performance. In retrospect, I can see how the pot infused brownies enhanced my experience of the performance. A lot like what I experience these days without eating brownies! I also remember being the designated driver back when and being exposed to second hand smoke from wacky tabacky.  And, those experiences also expanded my sight and hearing into more pleasurable experiences.

My previous experiences of drinking alcohol, some 20 or so years ago... moved me to experience times of losing control of body function, stumbling around and getting really happy, laughing at everything. Physical boundaries would get really hazy and my verbal and cognitive functions were not up to par, by any stretch to normal baseline. Now I am finding it difficult to accept the limitations and challenges these naturally occurring alchemicals create for my cognitive processes. Overcoming the Ecstatic addiction phase has been intense. Pushing back into cognitive processing takes effort.

I haven’t ever taken or been exposed to any of the hard drugs, controlled substances. And, I do know now why people take them. Living with this ever-flowing hourly production of this complex chemical cocktail has been challenging to say the least. I have talked to a few folks about their experiences. Cocaine users speak of the aftertaste, the acrid tasting drip that comes after taking the White Powder. These conversations have been a very helpful aid to understanding what I am experiencing these days. When it first started dripping three years ago it was a bit bitter, these days it is much sweeter...The Nectar of Immortality.  In the last year, I have stepped into psychedelic scenes fairly often. They don’t freak me out these days. When I do my Surya Practices it can be kind of fun to play with the colors. I have been able to breath into different chakras which turns my landscape into different colors. I haven't flipped into ALL Gold in awhile, that is a bit harder to come out of, takes more cooling practices. It is just part and parcel of the process. I continue to wade into experiencing hallucinogenic times. Those ain’t so easy to get used to, but more tolerable to this little monk-ette lately. Really have to be watchful of my mental material and exposure to music.  I just saw Wanderlust this past month. And, Ho Boy did I relate to the scenes where the actors had taken Ayahuasca. I have heard flowers singing, trees talking and the birds singing in such harmonic tunes. The Beauty is so over-whelming. I have walked around with tears streaming down my face from ecstatic joy.

These days, I am Working to put one foot in front of the next, do enough Yoga to ground into daily living and not walk around with tears streaming down my face….folks don’t’ cotton to thinking that is an acceptable expression of daily living. Come back to chop wood that doesn’t sing and carry water that isn’t too hot or too cold. Extremes of temperature cause interesting changes in my eye sight or shall I say how the colors are experienced in my surrounding landscape. When I heat up the colors get really wild which tells me to do my internal cooling practices. When my thoughts get too wild, I do my internal cooling practices. Thank you Goddess for perseverance.



Goddess of Hathor placing the magic collar on Seti I from the Tomb of Seti I,
 New Kingdom, XIX Dynasty, 1314-1200 BC, Louve.

Speaking of Goddesses...This is an image of Hathor, an Ancient Egyptian Goddess who personified the principles of Love, Joy, Beauty, Music, Dance and Motherhood. She is the Deity that wore the Solar Crown in their mythology. It was thought that when "She" placed the magic collar onto the Pharaoh it connected him to the Goddess Energy.

These days when I introduce the Second Praise Ascension Attitude while standing in the sun my crown chakra just opens up to flood my throat with the Golden Elixir, really cool experience. No doctor prescribed medications or corner bought baggy!!!  My bedroom window has an Eastern exposure so I can lie in bed and Ascend in the Morning Sunlight which allows the Elixir to flow more smoothly, streaming down into my tummy. I have taken to eating mints pretty constantly to ease the burn in my stomach and intestines of late. Had to get a new supply before Yoga Class last night. I knew I was not going to be able to get through the class without some mints to ease the burn of an hour and a half class. Woke up this morning to crystals clogging my nose... it doesn't happen to often...used some sesame oil to rub it into my system. Not much of a difference from the "new normal" been experiencing of late. Crystals??? Is that Crystal Meth??? Coming out of my nose???

I ran about 10 steps to try and catch a bus leaving from the curve this afternoon, not a smart move on my part. Went into a really big overload of thoughts and feelings of WOW O WOW, colors and some pain rushing through me. More Chi running through the system heals more old wounds, FASTER... one more level of purification and added RUSH.

Enlightenment includes moments of psychedelic scenery = colors so Beautiful, the term kaleidoscopic eyes now has meaning - hours of hallucinogenic experiences = really weird stuff and many more Donnie Darko times like didn't I just do that, feelings of expansion beyond anything one could write about and LOVE...lots of feelings of connecting to everything.  




This past weekend was a rough one. More Agni moving into more systems to heal and grow them. The principles of The Golden Elixir are easy once you understand the underlying dynamics; Simple, but not Easy! The burn in my stomach which feels like a bad case of heartburn has moved into my intestines, lungs, legs and eyes. Focusing on this computer screen is causing a subtle burn in the lenses of my eyes and a burning sensation in my brain. Until I need to go stick my head in the freezer to ease the brain burn or ice my eyes, I write and think as long as the pain allows. Finding better practices eases the process, just one step at a time.

Had a GREAT massage last evening....sending out much praise to that practitioner. This morning awoke into feeling the Elixir weeping into my alimentary canal. It feels much like what you would think a tree feels when it's sap  is running down it's outer, bark skin. In contrast this sensation is on the inside of the body. Other tissues that took a lot of trauma in years gone by are feeling like little bee stings of energy popping as the body moves...OM Praise be to All the All Powerful Arms pulling US up into the Glory of God!

And now these days my throat is closing up on me when I start to eat solid food...only when I chew food. O the Beauty of body wisdom, when I have the wisdom to listen to it. Choking is not a pleasant sensation, so I have taken to blending my food. Bought some really great baby food the other day. The label guarantees no GMO's, gluten free, no soy, wheat or dairy either! I guess breatharian does mean not eating a whole lot of anything.


How do we get to PARADISE without breaking the Butterflies????


Anybody see the movie What if???? www.whatifthemovie.tv 

Higher states require more practices, more patience, more endurance, more wisdom and they offer more choices.

Waiting for SuperMen and Women


Feeling the need to blog about the newest level of development been experiencing of late.
Watched a movie last night, ”Waiting for Superman” which is an excellent movie for this time of our planetary evolution. 



Has anyone else seen it? Really on point about how to solve our educational crisis and many of our business  issues as well, as I blog on this country’s Birthday.

Anyway that bunny trail goes on for some time, I digress.  I am flowing to express and not regress in this moment. So, my feet have taken a beating in past years and now I am finding that this alchemical process is healing them into a new expression. How do I ascertain that? Well, if I use them for longer periods of time or overuse them, they begin to burn. And, I do mean that most factually. Probably, just like someone would feel if they were to walk on hot coals. Have adopted the practice of icing them in order to be able to use them.
Also, after my sleep state cycle I woke up to experiencing my eyes burning. I have had to ice them many times over the past few months in order to ease the pain of overuse as well. I had lasik surgery years ago; my bookworm habits had grown my eyes into needing coke bottle bottom lenses in order to get to the bathroom. My Root Teacher: MSI had recommended to me to get them done. And, when he shares wisdom with me I tend to heed his words and follow his example.

This Alchemical Journey has been a royal pain. One that I am growing into royal ease with more grace and less time; I pray, pray, pray.




This Great Work does require Great Patience and Great Indurance. When I overdo using my cognitive practices, crystals form in my nose. Instead of the chemicals draining down my throat they mature and form another structure in my nose. Isn’t that interesting??? I could put them in a baggy and sell them on a cornerJ Manufacturing my own Brain Cocaine!!! Or is that crack? Heroin would be the liquid growing down my throat? With DMT mixed in??? O well, I never did any of those state training experiences. A bit to my regret. I have been a tea tottler in most recent years. And, was a wine drinker in the day. But then after my divorce I do admit to taking a liking to Long Island Ice Teas and Trance Dancing  - It tasted like tea! Jazz dancing at The Papillon.

So, If you see me picking my nose more often these days, my crots have evolved, too! Tasty little boogers they are that’s a fact Jack.

I have spoken of the psychedelic scenes in previous posts. When I step into those landscapes these days, it doesn’t weird me out so much. Just another something weird and wonderful to get used to. Seeing Horses of a Different Color is OK, when one learns they don’t jump out and bite you….at least in this world. Be Here Now, takes on new meaning when one is able to visit other  ones.

Rhapsody, Ravel and Rolling in the Deep



So, it has been a harmonic creation of synchronicities and anachronicities of late. As one evolves the dreamer and the dream becomes less distinguishable, one seam of time blending into another, one level of reality cycling into the next – hopefully with more ease and grace. As I was off for an appointment with destiny, running late into my building’s elevator, rushing to stop to catch my breath and turning to my companion who shared my downward ride to chat, “How are you?” Glorious day!... and then some small knowing urged me to ask him, “What do you do for a living?” His response was that he drove a taxi when he wasn’t in school. So, I asked him for a lift to the train. And, off we went. He dropped me off with a smile, and refusal of payment cheerily saying “Have a Great Day.” I was short on cash and really didn’t have the time to do the credit dance, so I was immensely grateful. I had given his wife a couple of dresses the day before. Spring cleaning and moving out the old to make room for the new – one good turn deserves another – paying it forward in hopes that someday the return wave will sweep me onward into more waves of gratitude.

Each new day awakens more of this dripping and flowing divine nectar within my brain and down my throat. It has been causing me many moments of challenge and skill building opportunities. One of my coaching clients plays the viola in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. He gifted me with tickets to his latest performance. I was so excited to attend a symphony performance – Ravels Rapsodie espagnole was the first presentation of the evening. I was hesitant to attend after the day I had had dealing with these phenomena. When I went for a run, or shall I say when I attempted to go for a run earlier this morning I moved into psychedelic scenes so quickly it was startling to me, so I walked and watched the straight lines in the sidewalk. I have had scenes of multi colors, but this time it was minutes of dancing scenes from Yellow Submarine, the Beatles movie but much more!!!! Can colors become brighter, and brighter??? I made the last leg of the journey by bus, holding onto my rolling stomach and the hand rail, praying not to throw up my earlier meal of oatmeal.
My eyes were burning so badly from studying, reading a lit computer screen and cognitively working to make sense of someone else’s research… that I have been icing them with ice cubes. My ears were ringing so much that I went to soak my head in the bathtub. Literally, submerging my head in water felt so much better than having multi=hued tones ringing throughout my head, I could feel my teeth and bones subtly vibrate….really interesting experience, one that I didn’t want to get used to in that moment. What you resist persists until you get used to it, one tiny little baby step at a time.


So as I was planning to attend the evening’s performance, I made sure to warn my companion that if I needed to leave, I needed to leave. Taking care of this divine flow requires mindfulness choices of exposure to continued life experiences. We got there late and had to wait for the next seating. I stood at the entrance to the auditorium tuning into the interplay of sounds, letting them wash over me, stepping into sensing if I could handle the upcoming experience. Knowing that I could leave and yet wanting to flow into the experience with ease and grace. I had, had season tickets to the Pittsburgh Symphony for years. So love classical music; so had previous life experience of listening to live, large glorious performances. As the music died down, the clapping of appreciation for the performance waned and the doors opened to admit those of us waiting to be seated.  I walked into the auditorium to view down into a chasm of unending auditorium. Whoa, the steps seemed to by incredibly steep and my vertigo clinched my stomach muscles. I didn’t fold over to drop my head between my knees but looked to the right where the usher was pointing at two seats conveniently within in “no throw up” range. I side stepped to make a grateful landing in a cushioned seat a familiar sensation that didn’t cause me pain or concern. Comfort and ease is a valued commodity when these phenomena flow over and through me at an overwhelming rate.

The auditorium quieted and the conductor, Riccardo Muti came onto the stage, the applause sounded into and through the auditorium and set my bones and teeth to humming. As the symphony began to play and the harmonies flowed over and through my body the sensations washed through me. IT BECAME GLORIOUS. The notes started to play my organs and eyes and bones and lips and …I just sat back and let the drip flow.  It rolled down the back of my throat and the colors popped infront and behind my eyes. Then the psychedelic scenes in front of my eyes eased and the drip rolled into a stream down the back of my throat. Standing waiting to be seated had caused me a level of trepidation. “Was I going to be able to sit and withstand the vibrational exposure to so much, so fast?” As I sat listening to the harmonies and symphonic beauty of the music tingling over and through my being, I was relieved to be able to sit and enjoy the brilliant experience. As the dripping flowed down my throat the music became more and more soft and distant, like walking after a snow storm all quiet and soft with the music just wafting along the silence.
After that night’s performance my phenomenon went into overdrive. My lungs and intestines were burning fairly continuously to the point that only by taking small bites of apple and eating a few almonds at a time kept the burning sensation down to tolerable. I was icing my eyes pretty nonstop to keep the burning sensation to tolerable. Every morning thereafter for a time was a challenge. Sleep state creates more bliss chemicals which creates more expansion which creates more change which creates more yoga asanas and more mindfulness skills to ease the transformation….omnivores, herbivores/vegetarians, fruitarians, breatharians…time will tell. The proof is in the pudding; and my pudding is flowing fairly regularly.


Xana La Fuente's Photos

Thanks Xana La Fuente for capturing what my eyes have been seeing of late. Too cool photo!!!!


 Sleep state does create more of the Bliss Chemicals and so does standing in the wind and sunshine!!! More chi coming into my system creates fun times. Just been reading Daniel Goleman's Meditative Mind in the introduction he speaks of Maharaji Neemkaroli Baba's stage development. Baba had ingested a huge dose of psychedelics and nothing happened!!! There was nowhere for his awareness to go; he was already experiencing psychedelic landscapes. I ain't gonna take a hand-full of psychedelics cause my stomach is burning pretty hard from all this Golden Elixir and I see too many of these scenes already. Course I am getting used to them. They are lovely...course this is the 2 dimensional version. Think of this picture with light playing through the scene and add a whole lot of sparkles. I have learned to focus on the cracks in the sidewalk to keep me walking in a straight line. Well, they are supposed to be straight. They get a bit squiggly for me at times.

Strange New Pains of Healing

Dearest All: Been feeling any measure of different pains, different days. In this now moment, of OUR Year of the Lord and Lady November 29, 2011. My bones are aching because they are healing. It feels really strange. How do I know this is truth. Well, the hurting is in all the locations where I broke bones or injured facia in my active life. Had numerous bike wrecks and ski falls and sprained ankles from sports. And, Boy O Boy do they talk back when this healing game of kundalini and The Golden Elixir starts to really flow through the system. At least it is my experience of late.


Resolution of the Paradox: Lots of Pain and Healing

My front teeth are hurting, I can remember getting smacked in the mouth during a racquetball match years ago. I had a busted lip for two months from that little injury. My left wrist is aching as well, broke it in fifth grade running more like falling on it in dodge ball. My right hand got squished in a bike wreck; went through reconstructive surgery and wore titanium pins in two fingers for eight or so weeks. My ankles are aching as well. Thanks to high school basketball. I can remember going up for a rebound and coming down on someone else's foot and hearing a crunching noise as I went to the floor in pain. Walked on crutches for weeks after that incident. Sprained them both at various times during basketball years. My ears are aching something awful too...The inner ear bones. [Listening to my Mother bitch for years, hurt my ears :)] Then I had two hip pointers from another bike wreck in my 20's and another knee injury from bike wrecks and ski falls. Not to mention seven years of Judo and Tai Kwan Doe. Well, I know this is healing and reading this list of aches makes me not wonder so much why I am aching. I did have a grand night of Flowing and Drinking  Nectar. It was so very hard to get out of bed this morning to face the pain in my body. Geez, I could barely walk for the bone pain this morning. Finally, made it to the hot tub to soak out the pain and heat up my Chi. Feelin' much better in the pm hours after a good steam bath as well.


Blessings Be to all those feeling any similiar pain. It ain't been too FUN! Glory daze do come at a price.
For Freedom is not FREE; someone always pays the price.

I have never smoked, not even waky tabacky. But, let me say that these times of drunken soberness - Satchidananda LSD days sure make me appreciate state training with those substances,,,. In small doses with folks around who understand the goals of training. Speaking of training............

http://youtu.be/OytczbXgeSw

I can relate to some of these downhill falls. In Judo one learns the art of rolling and falling. The gang I skied with jokingly called me Eggplant...Headplant the Eggplant. Once upon a time, used to think that the fall was just as much fun as the ride, tumbling and rolling down the hill was fun. Gotta admit the charm of a Green powder packed slope holds more charm in these days of psychedelically painted pain filled moments of healing the Anamaya Kosha. Anybody up for some powder skiing???

Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, hOMe.

Gnothi Seauton–Know Thyself

In some circles speaking of Thyself would indicate that one is only operating out of the Ego Self and that the Ethnocentric Self has yet to be developed or the World Centric Self is not even present. My intention in sharing my journey is to encourage others to walk the path of Self Knowledge. Specifically in regards to how this Alchemical journey is unfolding in my female body of late.

Most recently, as the O Soma Drop  has developed into a Running River of Bliss down my throat, feels like when you have a nose bleed but in this case it is not blood flowing down my throat. This flowing Nectar of Immortality has caused a new level of transformation in my digestive system. Months ago, I would feel the need to swallow occasionally to ease the passing of the fluid down my throat. Now I work to hold my throat open to allow for the fluid to just flow. Why do I add this practice to my regimen? Well with all the other body pains my neck/swallowing muscles were beginning to ache quite a bit. So, now I try NOT to swallow so much and just let it flow.

My understanding of this process is that the chemicals produced by my activated brain chemistry is now concentrating and activating the transformation of my digestive processes. What does that actually feel like in my body??? A burning sensation that at times reminds me of heart burn, a pretty severe case of it. The sensation begins in my stomach and flashes upward. I try to keep eating small portions of almonds, fruit and I found ginger chews aid to keep the accompanying nausea at bay as well. It gets really painful when my stomach is empty!!! Much worse in the morning after a night of drinking The Nectar of Immortality.

So, now in addition to my skull sutures aching, my ovaries pulsing at times, my breasts feeling like they are lactating, my thymus aching, my ears ringing for long periods of time every time a fire truck or police car drives by with it’s sirens wailing, my eyes burning when I read too long [which causes heat in my liver…] my stomach is feeling like someone built a campfire in it…literally!

YES, the joys and delights of Enlightenment. How do I love Thee, let me count the ways.

Spiritual Emergence of the Divine Feminine: The EVE II Complex




The anthropological community has been searching to identify where and when the First Eve evolved. What I refer to as the EVE II Complex is taking place in our post-modern culture as an evolutionary process. And like the Madonna/Whore Complex the EVE II Complex is pervasive. If affects how we interpret our reality, how we express our SEXUALITY, how we communicate and see the outer world. Changes of consciousness are subtle. When they occur at the physical level they can be misconstrued as a disease process. And, they are not so subtle. They can be powerful and cause much discomfort…OR NOT! What do the numbers of Breast Cancer cases indicate? What about the numbers of Prostate Cancer? 



A Figure to Figure: Originally drawn by W.E. Hill Is the woman Youngish or oldish? Large nosed or normal?
Perspectives: What do you sense taking place evolution or disease?

Hopefully, by reading my account it will ease the journey and resolve the mystery of the process for others who are experiencing like changes and to CHOOSE a different path in resolving our obscurations. The undertaking of evolution is to become AWARE of the process and to engage it with compassion and understanding.

Most recently, I underwent another level of purification. Back in April of 2011 (see April 11th blog) I felt fluids flowing from my eyes, nose and ears. It was not blood! This August, during the high heat of summer MUCUS started flowing from my eyes and nose [really yellowy, gunky stuff!!!] and more clear fluids and waxy effluent from my ears. Believe me it if it sounds gross, it was even worse to experience. For three and half days it just rolled out of my eyes and clotted up my nose. Lots of other pains and gains took place during those weeks as well. To sum it up, I stepped into an expanded space and began to walk. And when I mean walk, I mean miles of walking for weeks…two and half or three weeks of walking. I ended up sleeping on the beach, in the park, on the bus…when I wasn’t walking. The energy of the expansion just moved me. Now could I have sat during that time? Could I have done hours of Yoga instead? Well, looking back it would have been a better option. Making smarter choices in every now moment is the Name of the Game. Did I learn quite a bit about many systems? Where bus routes take a person, how to dock a boat properly, and what is the next level of learning one needs to focus on…Yes most emphatically! Would I make the same choices I did back then? I pray and practice for higher outcomes each day as I walk my path.

Along with the purification of my central channel/sushumna which is when the Kundalini flows upward along the central channel, my EYESIGHT has moved into new modes of operation. During my walkabout, I stepped into seeing GOLD. I had experienced it on occasion before, but not like this. It was not like looking around and sensing a few golden objects here and there. It is like the scenes in Matrix III, when Keenau Reeves is wearing the blindfold and he is
sensing the scenes around as different densities of GOLD….everything is GOLD, everywhere! Just different densities and depths of golden stuff all around, like looking into a Magic Eye Picture of Golden Reality. It took awhile to figure out how to focus back into this flatland of regular reality….days of Golden landscapes.



Magic Eye II 3D Illusions by N.E. Thing Enterprises
Keep looking !!! Can you see something in the Blue area? Keep Looking, focus by moving your nose closer and then further by a tiny distance. Allow your mind to expand...
Keep looking there is more there!

And at times, I get into what I refer to as Yellow Submarine times. Do you remember seeing the movie Yellow Submarine? The one that pictorially expressed their music? When those psychedelic scenes come into my awareness I know it is time to go do Yoga or lift weights. The chemicals in my brain are concentrating and I need to move to circulate them throughout my body. In contrast I think the Beatles were looking through the eyes of some kind of street drugs to sense those scenes. That has not been the case for this little Monk. I know better than to take those concoctions. It is enough to reason through this Land of The Flowing Nectar of Immortality. These days it flows pretty steadily. 



Most recently, I have been working with my hunger response and dealing with nausea. My digestive system is purifying. It is a rolling feeling in my guts and then at times I feel lots of heat and tingling moving through my intestinal area. It has been hard to keep solid food down. I was  eating more organic vegetables this past summer. Most recently, it has been a small amount of grains, fruit and nuts. I am challenged not to reach for my emotional comfort foods: Fried Chicken is my worse. The nausea makes Train and bus rides challenging. I have embraced walking more each day.

Living in the city is a challenge all by itself. And then when ambulances and police cars set off their sirens my ears set to ringing! The reverberation can be annoying for longer times afterwards if they rolled right by me. 



I ask and challenge all those reading these words? What are your daily practices? What are your goals in Life? How do you define God/Goddess? What is your experience of realty? Do you meditate? Do you have to take street drugs to alter your 3D reality? Want to join US on this Yellow/Golden Brick Road?
I’m trippin’ on Love.
What yous guys trippin’ ON???
