HAHAha... I was thinking the same thing. It could also be like Super Mario Bros where we are being attacked be mushrooms.
By: bloodshark420. on 13 Nov 08, 00:26:52
Great this is how scifi horror movies start. This is an example of how humans could loose our place on top of the food chain. Someone who means well, takes something natural and destroys the balance on earth and we spend our last days fighting fungi zombies.

The Pharmacratic Inquisition is much better that Zeitgeist in my opinion and it tells you the key to this all. ;) The caduseus and the merchants who wish to continue to enslave us all. Add me as a friend please. Regards,

Agreed. I love this video. see my playlists!
By: laughs422. on 08 Nov 08, 21:24:35
totally, but then this goes for all things in life. Even reading a good book, communing with nature, and learning about religions should be done with reverence and a sense of calm. :) Have a nice weekend and fear nothing and no one.
By: trekbiker099. on 08 Nov 08, 14:34:02
I agree. It's dumb people doing mushrooms in dumb places that give them a bad rap. Do them in a good place and it's extremely enlightening.
By: bamboocha923. on 07 Nov 08, 22:46:20
this is very interesting but this needs to learn how to breathe and speak at the same time. It is making me tired just when i listen...
By: laughs422. on 07 Nov 08, 11:28:35
just once for me and I swear you will never be the same. It opens you up to the real world just be safe and do it in a peaceful quiet reflective mood and not at a party.

God gave us a "brain" to choose right from wrong...without choice we couldn't learn, if we choose the right way, he helps us succeed, if not, then we still have more to learn, most christians leave it up to "God" but he is the one waiting on us to make the right choices and set an example. We are so worried about being "drug free" and fighting against "islamic fundamentalists" that we forget about setting an example instead of forcing our will on everyone..freedom works, cause it's from God
By: gladiator1010. on 31 Oct 08, 21:40:19
I think technology is very important...if we can just survive through this mess..I think we will begin to unlock some of the major secrets about life that mankind is desparately in need of learning...we are strating to learn our true power and source of being....technology can be used for good as well as evil...we could use it to transform the world into a literal "heaven on earth" or a "hell on earth". It is in OUR hands...people are starting to awaken...this is good

I have never consumed any illegal drug, but hearing things about psychedelic mushrooms that some brave psychologists have talked about, Ive considered trying them.

Personally I beleive that new discoveries are complete shit. Sure it's nice to interact with people, but I mean we don't even know our divine purpose let alone what foundated us now adays. We fight with eachother for mere sport and can no longer think for ourselves. To me a divine truth would be much more important than a 500GB Ipod.
