++++ did you catch the part about lucidity? a bit different, as far as control
goes, for one. a year back i tried to contact "Michael". perhaps they didn't
care for my level. i seem to have much better luck with local land spirits. i
think they are more real, as they aren't literary constructs. but in general, it
seems i'm more attuned to the earthy/aetheric levels. have Never been able to
contact any of these traditional "entities" (yes, i've never done the full
formal invocations with all the props). that is, Here Now. i can drop my ego and
be brother mystic. but for some reason it's harder to contact celestial
energies. i think they contact me, unasked. as in aspects and transits etc. i do
now remember a few planetary apparitions. last year i was keeping track of
planetary alignments. being super sensitive, i'd get glimpses (in my mind's eye)
of various planetary archetypes. i didn't ask for this it just happened. my
subconscious sensed and interpreted the changing planetary frequencies. it was
very neat. doesn't really go anywhere tho.

based on entheogens. it's like anything else. at 47, i know absolutely that
certain foods can mess my system up much more than a toke or drop of dextro. the
one thing i will concede to is that pot (even small amounts for some reason)
inhibits lucidity. while at the same time shrooms enhances it.
lately tho, i've been really tuning in to nature by...playing the guitar
for several hours. this can put you into the zone. i swear i talk to nature
through the frets. tho not just any kind of jamming. it's that meditative,
mystical, catholic monkish, black metal influenced riffing. even a Pythagorean
approach helps. ie., you go at it by intuiting proportions, string length ...
divided by timing, as it were. sound therapy for tuning in. it's stuff like this
that made me realize that certain compounds are basically the counterpart to all
this. it's almost the same thing on a certain level.
can anyone relate?
btw, i also know conserving sexual fluids and energy is as important, if
not more so.
