I won't lie: my introduction was part provocation and part joke, but also not too far of from my initial reaction to exploring the forum. For those wondering, I can be a bit of an asshole, and, as you can see, am occasionally rather effective at it :lol: but it's not my main motivation for anything, really. I'm not going to be a wise ass and say that I was just trying to size you up by your reactions to my post, because that wouldn't be the truth, but first impressions certainly do say alot :wink:
As for my actual stance on psychonautics, well, personally, for me it goes quite a bit beyond psychedelics (although that is a rather significant part of it), and extends well into the realm of personality psychology, psychometrics, informational metabolism, and such. I'm a big fan of C.G. Jung's concepts and his study of human consciousness, and know a great deal about practical ways to impliment his theories in terms of therapy, self-improvement, and communication.
But, to be perfectly honest, I'm not really trying to make fun of the lot of you, or call you simple-minded druggies; to anyone outside my head, we're in the exact same boat, so don't worry about being judged by me :wink: I give myself credit in saying that I'm not narrow-minded enough to think that peoples' lives don't consist of anything more than I can tell about them from an internet forum, so if it's fine with everybody else, I wont even go there.
