I gotcha. I didn't mean to imply it would be a great match, I just happen to have the app, and the Divinorum and Tantra tracks are interesting to listen to at least.
I don't think I would enjoy smoking myself either.

I forgot to say that I've tried so-called "flying ointments" with no success.

I have tried mandrake ointment and felt nothing, but then someone told me later that I should apply it after a hot bath when all my pores are open. I just ordered a more powerful flying ointment made of 4 plants: mandrake, belladonna, datura and henbane. Hopefully it will work.

Wow if that isn't a potent blend then I don't know what is.

Shrooms are fun. But you might use a trip sitter or make sure you do it when you're in a really really good mood.
Otherwise the trip might turn into a horror trip.
I've only tried them once in a high enough dosage and that was at a time with a great mood where I just knew it would work out.
It's an interesting experience. Probably didn't do shit, since I'm already crazy, so not much to open myself to, but it was worth it anyway to see just how much impact those chemicals have on the brain.

no doubt, where did you order this? I have personally never taken anything before any sort of ritual as I prefer to be 100% in my right brain. But that is just me, interested to hear how this works for you CQ and to learn more about it.. Certainly not opposed just haven't done it.

Connolly has a recipe in her "Drawing Down Belial" book but she says to be careful with it.

I take meds and I already have health problems so I really don't want to take any chances. The thought that I'd have to go to that extreme pisses me off anyhow.

But she does make the simple suggestion to try Tiger Balm on your third eye, because the camphor in it helps with your awareness or something.

you are right, I remember her recipe for that. I haven't needed tiger balm in a long time but I can attest that it does indeed work by drawing attention to that spot so you focus on it. Highly recommend for those that are stuck with third eye stuff.
