Dear Dude and list,

I was going to let TeeGees cryptic comment :)) stand as my response to Dude,
too, but then decided to respond as I hadn't yet answered the Drug poll...

I'm now 58 yrs old.

I had several psychedelic trips in the late 60's. The first was when my
older sister made brownies using a pound of butter stewed in a kilo of
marijuana. We were not warned! When my body turned into a skeleton I
started to panic. Luckily my husband (it was his first trip too) told me not
to fight it--to go downstream instead. I lost my sense of being "me" and it
was wonderful from then on. Later that summer we took LSD. Fabulous. It
was from that trip that I decided believing or not believing in God was
presumptuous. I fell into the central "God's eye" of an Oriental rug. We
were ALL gods--on Mt Olympus. That was only part of a long trip. Layers and
layers of it. It was full of cosmic jokes and "remembering." Later that
year we also took Mescaline. Rather sexual for me. I took LSD one more
time. I found it all so powerful I had no desire to continue. I smoked pot
occasionally for a few years. Then stopped that, too.

But nothing, NOTHING is like the joyous ecstasy/bliss that I have felt during
this last 3 years of K. Nothing like the feeling of going through the lotus
door to "satori." Nothing like the "understandings" (I AM THAT I AM, It is
enough simply to BE) and the sensations that accompany them that have changed
my whole being, Nothing like feeling the body melting into bliss and crying
from the incredible joy of it all. Nothing like the transcendence I feel
from time to time. A psychedelic trip is just that--a trip. Now I feel I am
home.

I was always grateful for the psychedelic experiences. They also helped me
understand how to surrender to K, and that has been an invaluable lesson.
But that is nothing like the overwhelming gratitude I feel to have been
blessed with K.

One other note. A close friend who was in the throes of a profound K
experience 20 years ago or so was talked into taking LSD. He said the LSD
threw him out of paradise for years.

Would I risk it now? What do you think?

Love, Hillary
