A century ago, mescaline
was the only chemical substance known to science that today would unequivocally
be called a psychedelic.
1960
Alexander Theodore Shulgin takes
mescaline and
awakens.
"It was
a day that will remain
blazingly vivid in my memory, and one which
unquestionably confirmed the
entire direction of my life." - Sasha
Sasha, deeply intrigued by
how a chemical could have such profound effects on thoughts, feelings and
perceptions, began to study these biomolecular effects.
"Dr. Shulgin had
something of a peekaboo relationship
with the authorities.
He had a strong relationship with the Drug
Enforcement Administration; Bob Sager, formerly head of the agency’s
Western Laboratory, a close friend.
Dr. Shulgin often advised drug
agents, served as an expert witness in drug trials, wrote a reference work on
controlled substances used by law enforcement and for many years was licensed
by the DEA to do research on Schedule I drugs, those identified as having no
clearly defined medical use and a high potential for abuse." - Bruce Weber,
June 7, 2014, New York Times
1990 Shulgin
publishes Pihkal: a chemical love story – an abbreviation of
‘Phenethylamines I have known and loved’ – blended
personal history with detailed procedures for making 179 psychoactive
molecules.
Fellow psychonauts eagerly test his recipes.
When
the DEA finds copies of Pihkal in clandestine drug labs, the agency
revokes Shulgin’s licence to work on Schedule 1 drugs.
"Sasha’s
compounds are used in neurobiology to investigate the role of serotonin
receptors in the brain.
The chemicals DOM
(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine) and DOI (2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine),
for example, are used to activate particular subtypes of serotonin receptors
and study their relation to conditions like depression and psychosis, including
exploration of mechanisms of action of antidepressant and antipsychotic
medications.
DOI has been shown to induce the rapid growth and
reorganization of dendritic spines and synaptic connections with other neurons,
processes known to underlie what has come to be referred to as
neuroplasticity.
Today, in the early 21st century, there are well over a
hundred chemicals known to have psychedelic effects, some say over 200.
The majority of these were discovered through chemical synthesis and
testing by one man: Sasha Shulgin." - David E. Presti
Neuroplasticity: The 10 Fundamentals Of Rewiring Your
Brain
"The
End of the World is
a projection of internal
catastrophe:
the paranoiac's subjective world
has come to an end since his
withdrawal of his passion for it.
And
the paranoiac builds it again, not
more splendid, it is true, but at least so that
he can once more live in
it.
He builds
it up by the work of his delusions.
The delusional formation,
which we take to be the pathological product, is in reality an attempt at
recovery, a process of reconstruction.
I remember having twice
been in danger of my life, and
each time the awareness of the
danger occurred to me quite suddenly.
On both occasions I felt
"this was the end," and while otherwise my inner language proceeded with only
indistinct sound images and slight lip movements, in these situations of danger
I heard the words as if somebody
was shouting them into my ear, and at the same time I saw them as if they were
printed on a piece of paper floating in the air."
Sigmund Freud
Nonsense is critical for
falsification purposes.
i
remember vividly feeling
compelled to action on the first trip through the looking glass
…
i could not identify the compeller but
it must have been the Holy
Spirit
…
all my behavior was basic
reality testing
…
i could
not discern whether the Holy Spirit was a good or a bad spirit
…
i will give you a personal account of one instant …
i took a handful of 8d box nails and set down on the sidewalk
…
i felt for magnetic field lines, identified them and started
aligning the nails …
i started with four nails and positioned them
in a compass pattern aligned with the magnetic lines …
i gently
rolled the nail toward the position in which it would be perfectly aligned with
the magnetic grid but released it slightly before it would hit the mark
…
i ended up with perfectly aligned radial pattern with eight rays
four nails deep, perfectly positioned in the center of a sidewalk square
…
8 radial arms at the compass directions and at the midpoint
between compass directions, 4 nails deep …
it took about a minute
…
my intent was to get the
nails to align in a perfectly symmetrical pattern and i used the
magnetic field lines of
the Earth to accomplish the task which i could actually feel with my hands
…
physical movement weds conceptualization of reality to physical
reality through ritual movement
creating Intentional Reality …
this is what would be considered a
miracle in ancient times …

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
