Meh...sounds like semantics to me Laika..
I think you misunderstood him... he's basically saying what you said, that there is no difference between philosophy and perspective on reality.
Ek, does my spiel about 'the psychedelic experience being contained within the dissociative experience' resonate with you at all?
Yes, definitely. I think psychedelics are important for understanding the self, and dissociatives are important for understanding the universe.
& do you IM your ket? seems the best way to use it, but something about shoving a needle into a muscle tissue makes me shudder...i'd be much more comfortable learning to IV.
Yes, I always IM it unless its not mine and then I usually insufflate it.
DO NOT IV K!
I mean, its fine to do it once or twice, and you'll probably see first-hand why I recommend against it.
First of all: When you IV it hits you before you can fully pull the needle out. This might sound good to typical IV drug users of stuff like heroin, meth, etc... but with K a big part of the experience is feeling your senses shut down one by one, feeling yourself literally
fall into the k-hole. With IV, its like someone rocketed you into the K-hole at lightspeed. Its fun for the novelty, but thats it.
Also it lasts shorter.
I've IV'ed it probably 10 times or so, but I never do it anymore out of choice, its just not as meaningful.
IM'ing is fine unless your K isn't pure. Some people will tell you only IM out of sealed vials, etc, but I've IM'ed
hundreds upon hundreds shots of powdered K (all from the same, legit source mind you) and never once had a complication arise from it. Also, the damage to your muscle heals quicker than the damage to your vein.
Anyway this obviously raises lots of questions, like what are we doing here (maybe to give 'us'/each consciousness the opportunity to develop a conscience & experience freedom?), what about 'lower' life-forms etc - I don't claim to have the answers but if anyone does then speak up! Any other PD fellas ever had similar thoughts/ideas?
I think the questions are only valid to 'individuals', i.e. they only matter while you are connected to your ego. For example, next time your in a K-hole, try to ask yourself what the meaning of life is. It's not gonna happen. It doesn't matter. To the universe, there is no purpose. Individuals choose to believe in meaning and purpose for reasons I do not fully understand.
