honestly you guys should all try mushrooms just once, things will make a lot more sense i promise.


But before you do, consider reading a book that examines the nature of perception, from a neurological/physiological POV. You are probably better off not thinking of this during your trip, but its a good precaution if you would like for your shroom trip to bring you closer to reality, rather than farther.

Amoda Maa Jeevans wrote "It is precisely our wanting things to be different that creates our suffering. It is not the hardship, discomfort, or pain itself that cause us to suffer (although it appears to be) but the resistance to fully experiencing it."


I think many believe that the Buddhist concept of desire being the root of all suffering translate desire as the desire to obtain something that one does not have. I've found that in my life, more suffering has been brought about by the desire to avoid something, be it pain, truth, embarrassment, others.


Having a "desire to avoid something" is a negative concept because you are thinking of the thing that you do not want. When you think of something, according to the law of attraction, you are drawn to the thing you are thinking about and you manifest the very thing you do not want.

Desire to have something comes with the belief that you don't have it and is intensified by the belief that you can't attain it.

If you desire something, believe that you have it and act as if you have it and you will be drawn to it and it to you. That is the law of attraction.

I am not unhappy about anything I do not have because I know I can have anything I desire. If you can decide what you want, that is the first step, and from there you focus on that with the intention to have it and then you take the necessary action within your means to get it.

That is the secret to success.

People waste their lives moaning and feeling sorry for themselves for what they do not have or what they have lost or because their wife or husband left them, or because they have no friends when they should look at what they do have and be grateful and then intend to have the things they desire and go after them.

People should stop feeling sorry for themselves. They create their own misery and pain.

Nicely stated, I too know that the law of attraction is real and it amazes me that people have herd of this and yet still continue to think in backward thoughts. That is all everything is anyway; just a manifested thought. Hard to convince stubborn people that they are the cause of their current situations.
