Good News my lil brother just became a daddy super happy for him and his wife they are both so excited…

I do. My wife and I often talk about how we are enjoying seeing them grow. it's a bummer at the same time because they grow out of their states so quickly. I pray you will get the opportunity. Until then good on you for being active in your niece and nephews lives

Yeah mine are still really young and I'm stacking some good ones

I keep this next to my keys to remind me to keep my family in mind and not just chase fiat or BTC. If I'm miserable or dead I'm not present to help my kids navigate the world we live in.

It’s a beautiful day to be alive.

Ok. Revelations from last night. So like a noob, I had 3 grams and still hadn’t felt anything an hour and a half later. I thought maybe these mushrooms were bunk. So I had another 2 grams, making it the single biggest dose I’ve ever had. Went to sleep at about midnight after a nice night hanging out by the fire.

So at about 3 I woke up to go to the bathroom. Two words: tripping balls. I was aware from previous experiences that the slight feeling of anxiety was expected, so I didn’t let it get to me. But the visuals. Holy shit.

I am convinced that some of the origins of Man’s awareness of a higher power may have been discovered accidentally through chance ingestion of psilocybes. I wasn’t trying to guide the experience at all, but not only were there incredibly complex, colourful and moving patterns moving across my field of view, but they were consistently morphing into two repeating forms. One was a male figure sitting in the lotus position with his hands in a position of prayer. The other was a figure of a woman facing me, with arms outstretched and the thumb and middle finger touching, with the index finger and pinky slightly pointed. Both of them were covered with the patterns and colors, so it’s not like they were photographed. And both were emanating a calmness and sense of peace.

One interesting thing was the presence of fractal geometry. All of the patterns, regardless of how deep I looked into them, were infinitely scaled. And the colors were truly 256 million with a slight chrome finish.

Aside from the visuals that I knew to expect, my main purpose in doing this experiment was to see if there would be any revelations about my self or this world we are living in. The main things I felt as my ego dissolved, the nausea came, and the slight sense of anxiety persisted, was that:

1) we are all a tiny piece of the same consciousness

2) I have made big mistakes in my life and am far from perfect, but my motivations are not self serving or meant to make me appear to the world like something I am not.

I don’t know what to say other than this, other than pros and cons:

Pros:

- Cool visuals and seeing random figures of seemingly spiritual beings, that were emanating a sense of good will toward me.

- Stripping my ego away for a short time and allowing a real analysis of my motivations in how I deal with people.

Cons:

- anxiety

- inability to sleep

- runny nose

- watering eyes

- itchiness (all over)

- upset stomach

- lack of control of the duration of the experience ie having to ride it out, for better or worse.

Would do again? Not likely. I’ve experienced this a few times now, and I just don’t think there’s anything more there to learn. Maybe DMT or acid would be something to try, but I’m not sure I need to see anything otherworldly for now. I need to figure out how to make this one better. 🤘🏽

still numb

Gn world, don’t let family from out of town sleep at your place.

🙏🏼🫂🤍 thank you, friend

Some nice Whitetails hanging out near the stands this week. These are bush bucks. No farmland for miles. Just thick bush and siesmic cutlines. And muskeg. And they will be ghosts during daylight except for one week of the rut when they are thinking with the wrong head.

The sky, vast and free, reflects the discord within, like a mirror to the soul's unrest.

The earth, solid and enduring, trembles when balance is lost, as if even the ground beneath us recognizes our inner turmoil.

The fire within, a force of passion, can burn all in its path if left unchecked, a reminder that our deepest desires and pain can both create and destroy.

Water, ever-changing and resilient, can drown in its abundance, showing us that too much of even the purest element can overwhelm.

Air, guiding change, can devastate in an instant, as unpredictable as the wind that shapes the course of a life.

At the heart lies the true path to harmony, but even it can lead to ruin if swayed, for the heart is as vulnerable as it is powerful.

All things must remain in balance; without it, everything falls apart. Balance is the foundation of all. And like a ship on the open sea, we navigate the storms of existence, knowing that it is in the delicate equilibrium of all things that we find our true direction.

Trust is built in layers.

These layers can be added, removed, damaged, or repaired over time…

But some breaks are beyond repair and impossible to rebuild from.

Imagine the divine heard your prayers, felt your heart, and the sky opened up for you and you felt the moment the lightning struck. You were given a layup of a divine blessing. All you had to do was have faith that the way was already made, and grab it..

But you didn’t.

You throttled.

Your record was on repeat. 🔁

You wanted to control the path, instead of following it in unwavering faith.

And so you fumbled the bag..

You allowed your mind and fears to run loose, repeating old stories from the past, and you got in your own way…

And now it’s gone.

Lean not on YOUR own understanding. Your anxious thoughts are not aligned to your heart. They’re aligned to your fears. You cannot have both faith and fear. Get out of your own way. The secret to freedom moves with the wind.
