Joe Rogan for President

If I were to look back on myself 10 years prior, I would probably simultaneously be amused and shocked at the human I've progressed into. I've changed. I would say for the better but I guess I'm a bit biased, eh? The main thing I strive for every single day and strive to convey outwardly is dissolving my ego. The ego seems to be the root of all problematic epidemics in the world. The lust for power and greed that has plauged man kind for centuries all stem from ego maniacs. One of the most effective ways to crush your ego is having a psychedelic experience. Joe Rogan is an advocate for hallucinogenic experiences to open your mind and tap into spiritual realms we may not find elsewhere. He is an eloquently articulate guru on all things about pushing the envelope of consciousness and the pineal gland. 

He's just a badass about the things he is passionate about and he doesn't hide behind what's politically correct. All the rules are thrown out when he speaks on global and national issues yet, he does so with such poignant words. It is never crass. I mean, he's a down ass mother fucker. No apologies. No walking in egg shells. Yet, he dispels all the convuluted, majority held beliefs with grace and ease. 

It's refreshing to have someone of notoriety, who is also a well known celebrity, to be behind things that are impairitive to much needed paradigm shift our society lacks. I only hope that his influence can penetrate the deeply manipulated population that the media has a choke hold on. He celebrates his humanity yet he is intelligent enough to know there is more out there than what meets the eye. In every way he is a huge influence and inspiration to me. Joe Rogan restores my faith in humanity.

He talks about all the things I'm passionate about and then some, brilliantly. 

Day 25- hallucinogens

Ok. I already know how this one may sound so hear me out. I'm not a 'drug person'. Maybe I was at one point. Truth be told, I barely even drink anymore. I've experimented with almost every drug known to man sans heroine, crack and meth [no desire to try any of those either]. I regret none of that. Some of my most memorable and happiest memories involve drugs. To me that's what they are about- memorable experiences. You see, I'm a firm believer in moderation, because of that I'll never be an addict and I don't have an addictive personality- which I think it somewhat of a bullshit idea anyway. I enjoy my sobriety. 

That being said- Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, and fellow hallucinogens, are in their own universe. It's not about 'getting totally ripped' although it does do that in a most unparalleled way. For me, it's about the clarity and transcendence you achieve. I've never felt more humble than when I've tripped on acid. I can honestly say I didn't truly know what that meant prior to dropping. It crushes your ego. From inception, it was used by mental health practitioners for therapy. After that it became a 'mind control' tool used by the CIA in the 1950s. I find that oddly humorous being that all it does is open your mind. 

If you want to work out the girth of your problems or just achieve a new level of  personal enlightenment, I would strongly advise taking hallucinogens, be it LSD, Diemethyltriptine or psilocybin [I've done all 3]. However, it is not for the timid or weak minded. I remember when I was younger, I heard Paul McCartney talk about how acid 'forever changes you'.  It's seems cliche but it's painfully true. It opens your eyes, your third eye. You may not be willing and welcoming to the world it wants to show you or the 'you' it wants to show you. For me, it's the closest thing to spirituality I can get. The intense and deep enlightenment it provides takes me to an alternate plane and a higher level of consciousness, full of gratitude and a harmonious melody of life.
