Psychedelic Effects - Warning Colorful Language

Psychedelic Effects: “The more intelligent we become, the more fearful we become…” Clarity has been a rarity, until just recently, in this seventh (7th) week of pain free days, she has re-visited me. The difficulty here in bringing these picture imageries into text clearly, would be impossible for me the last twenty (20) years, and very likely my attempt now will be quite poor. Thankfully this is a message board for sufferers of Cluster Headache, some of you will indulge me and know where I am coming from without any problems, some will not. Anxiety seems to visit a number of us at some point in time. Some of us have been and are struggling with a constant intense apprehension, it seems to never quite slip all the way into the background of our minds. And, for a good reason! We know this monster is coming back, we also soon realize, the antidotes offered to us are really only another better bad choice in our defense against this monster. Let me give you an example of the gnawing anxiety I had in April this year. First and foremost let me give you a brief background; I do not use drugs, alcohol, blah blah blah. In 1998 I decided ‘enough was enough’ the medical profession could go to hell for all I care, I could do this better cold turkey than the pharmacy they were literally coercing me to use. So the whole idea of using something like LSD, or any psychedelic substance simply was not something I was prepared to undergo. I once told a neurologist a few years ago; “I do not give a damn if it takes heroin but you better not take my money and leave me with a headache, too. Do not practice on me, if you do not have something to stop this, just take my money and leave me the hell alone!” I am not a rocket scientist, but I do know when a man is paying attention, this doctor, that evening, was most definitely paying close attention. I meant it and he knew it. “I may still have anxiety but I don’t have a ‘gawd-damned’ headache!!! May the Psychedelic Goddess visit you who call out to her, as she has for me.” Psychedelic Effects She came to me in the night With promises An ultimate delight Tentacles of the Portuguese Man of War Sensate of purple Soon thereafter her hue turned blue Trust me she said to him Because I f--king adore you And the lights went out Now the pain is gone I f--king adore you too Psychedelic Effects D à http://home.earthlink.net/~dpn123/ Copyright © 2004

I'm very glad it worked for you, and it's nice to se YOU finally posting. And if my experiences earlier in life were any indication, I can understand that you may have had some new doors and/or windows open in your mind. Never have those doors or windows and the perception they bring, led me wrong. Ususally, just the opposite... Clarity and truth have always been the end result for me. And since you got rid of those fucking headaches in the meantime, that's just damn near miraculous... Congrats and enjoy... I know what I'm doing next time.

miraculous \Mi*rac"u*lous\, a. [F. miraculeux. See Miracle.] 1. Of the nature of a miracle; performed by supernatural power; effected by the direct agency of almighty power, and not by natural causes. 2. Supernatural; wonderful. 3. Wonder-working. Although a "natural" treatment, I'd have to say that miraculous does a good job of covering this succes story. If you analyze the success rate of shrooms then I'd have to lean more towards common place than miraculous. Still, I get chills every time we bring a clusterhead back to the world of pain free living. A resurection of sorts, a second chance at life. Miraculous indeed. jmin
