Will be interesting to discover if shrooms have their own intent, and how it directs what one experiences. If it can be isolated from our own personal bag of influences.

Read something yesterday about the chumash in ca. They had rituals with datura and called it by name. forget what it was "old woman" or something like that.
So maybe datura in that context has intent.

mushrooms absolutely have their own intent, but they are sensitive to what they consider the pressing issues in our psyches.

There's a part of the brain that "repeats".
A friend had some Salvia, and I was curious. Especially since it only lasts 10 minutes.
I tried some, and nothing seemed to be happening. I was watching the TV news.
Suddenly, the newscaster leaned out of the TV set, climbed to the floor, and started chasing me around the bed.
At one point the path around the bed began to repeat itself, over and over. I was in a tunnel, made out of only a few steps around the bed.
I realized, there was a point in the brain that could "replicate". Repeat things. Scenery also.
So when you use LSD like this, it does in fact push your assemblage point, the same way we do in darkroom gazing. But it messes with ALL of the machinery in the brain. And so, on LSD you can look at the asphalt pavement, focus your attention on the black pebbles, and see "patterns".
The patterns are "randomness". It makes sense at the time, but later not so much.
That's the replication unit rearing it's weirdness.
That picture is filled with it.
Little Smoke manifests somewhat like that, but without the unnecessary replication. It's all 100% unique details.
Scares the shit out of me when she does that. I can still stand by the wall in my dark room, where she twice did that, put my hand up, and it begins to happen again. The wall starts to burn with ultraviolet light, her signal she's approaching.

Yep. Salvia is the gateway to the never ending spin cycle. Been there.

I was warned, the first time you might jump out the window and run down the street naked.
Easy to get. After I became aware of it, I noticed it growing as a weed at retirement homes. It's a pretty "weed", so people leave it.
It just wants a lot of water.

Your power in salvia is simply not moving. Like most classical psychedelics all you have to do to be safe is nothing.

I'm not so sure.
I was once watching TV news, and tried some because a friend had told me it only lasts 10 minutes.
The newscaster leaned out of the TV, looked straight at me, and then climbed down from the wall where the TV was mounted.
He started to chase me.
I couldn't get away, because the 15 steps to my bedroom door kept repeating.

Takes two to chase, and only one of you can hurt you.
