Where Can I Get Away? Spiritual Journey?

[Vark]

I really NEED a change! Just have to escape the insanity for a week, a month, a year, hell the rest of my life.
Psychedelics, self reflection and rest. Is anybody with me? Really, right now this is a solo mission but...?
I`m just an old (58) long haired known who's lost his way. Problem, I'm stuck in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada.
Long story, something to do with booze and a 30 some year drunk. Sober now 5 years but can't deal with this planet and what I'm
told is reality. Whatever happened to truth and honesty? Sure, I know I could just hop a flight to SF or LA and lay on the beach.
Lots of 3 letter shit there but I have a ancient pot charge so that's out. Any idea's? Peru's out. Really, really want to do DMT
but can't do Ayahuasca, MAOI's, plus it's Peru. Must be someplace in the world where smoke-able DMT is easy to find?
Advise/travel companions welcomed and appreciated. Want to go ASAP.

[IJesusChrist]

Wellp guess what. In about 1 week I will be in Grand Marais, MN.

I don't know where you'd get some psychs, but going for a week long trip in Quetico or Boundary waters, taking some entheogens, and waiting the day with an over-active mind is about the most uplifting, spiritually intense experience I've ever had.

Since there is a moderate group of us, I can't speak for the whole group. If it was just me and a friend I would invite you along... but I'd highly advise going into that area for a week...

It blows my mind every time, with or without psychs. Weed or a couple swigs of some alcohol seem to be just as useful for me... Its incredible the insight that nature brings us.

 

[Vark]

Thanks Mr. Christ, just a guess, camping and canoes? More info please.
I find my self further and further from truth, myself and nature.
All of the pain, hurt, abuse the world suffers daily eats away at people.
Eats away at me and it's beginning to feel like there is nothing left.
I need to relax and touch, feel something, anything positive.
I think I remember happy and positive, could be a myth ...?
Nice to hear from a human.
Tks Much Vark

 

[Mavraek]

Howdy, I am looking everywhere for the canary reed grass and mimosa H. There are two trees two blocks down the road from me that are the real thing. And about a hundred that aren't. I have not done the d m t knowingly.. When I was a kid i smoked some weed that i believe was laced with it and it was out of this world. I also am on this quest...once i find it, extract it and test it...i invite...I probably drink a bit much tequila but hey its better than doing m e t huh . Take care and stay in comunicae

 

[IJesusChrist]

Yeah just got back. Was really great. Its like medicine to me. We went in the middle of bum-truck no where. I took a bit of shrooms and had some epic visions, a good long sit & think to myself, nothing too crazy. Was good. But... I don't know. I hope all is well. Happiness is always there, you just need to consciously dig it up - its always hovering, just like sadness, anger, and stress. We just choose, consciously (and whether we like it or not), what emotions to feel in every situation.

2 things off the top of my head...

If you want a self-realization journey, these are 2 good way to go about doing it. Understand yourself through nature. If you feel a mix of depressed/harsh mood swings, I'd suggest getting on lemectol (lamotringe sp*); you'd need to start slow with 25mg for 2 weeks, 50 mg for 1 month, 100 mg for 3 weeks-4 weeks, 200mg 2 weeks, 400 mg (2 full pills) as the therapeutic dose. I would doubt you'd need more, but in some cases 600-800mg may be necessary. Supplement that with daily exercise, maybe pilates or hatha yoga and you'll feel right as rain by the end of the year... assuming that is how you feel. I've worked with patients who are bi-polar II and returned vets with clinical depression and PTSD, it keeps them balanced and able to live a normal life. Side effects aren't too bad, you may feel a mental high because it is balancing your neuro-chemistry but in turn, you will sleep less, be more alert and more in tune with yourself.
Aside from that, fluxotine, seroquil and/or a diet change to 3000mg of fish oil vitamins and chai/hemp seed is a good start. It'll clean your body and keep your mind healthy as well.
Good luck!

Dear Friends,

We just returned from our two week East Coast Tour. During our two week tour through five states we met, in total, with more than 250 people at our presentations of Krishnamurti’s work on meditation. For more information and complementary downloads click here.

In the next weeks, the KEC is fully booked with the Educating the Educator program and the Study Intensive Retreat.

Next month we are, for the first time, having a five day Yoga and Self Knowledgeprogram for those who want to include studying yoga while exploring Krishnamurti’s teachings. For more information on this Yoga and Self Knowledge program, click here.


[align=center]​

"When you do these things regularly, easily, without any effort – yoga means skill in action, it isn’t just doing certain things – the skill in action implies no effort. When you do the exercises with any form of effort involved, that is not yoga. Therefore you do it easily, and the regularity of it depends on the sensitivity of the body. You do it one day, and the next day the body may be tired and you say, all right, I won’t do it. It is not a mechanical regularity. Right sir? All this requires a great deal of intelligence, not only the intelligence of the body, but the mind, the whole thing called mind in which is the brain, and all that, when that is intelligent it will tell you, it will react, tell you what to do, what not to do. "
