How to transcend negativity

We know life will end, and we know it will never end. And we know both these things (subconsciously) at the same time. This makes life tricky for us humans. Having a temporary body that is home to an eternal soul can be confusing. Chinese medicine gave this some thought (centuries of it in fact) […]

Drugs and spirituality

DRUGS, SPIRITUALITY AND THE NEW AGE My first acid trip was, I thought, a beautiful spiritual experience. It satisfied the deepest desires of my soul.
