Bill on why drugs are illegal, after a "heroic" dose of psilocybin mushrooms: I laid in a field of green grass for four hours going "My God, I love everything." The heavens parted, God looked down and rained gifts of forgiveness onto my being healing me on every level: psychically, physically, emotionally. And I realized our true nature is spirit not body, that we are eternal beings, and God's love is unconditional and there's nothing we can ever do to change that. It is only our illusion that we are separate from God or that we are alone. In fact, the reality is that we are one with God and he loves us. I love Bill, unfortunately, one doesn't need drugs to have this spiritual experience and come to the same conclusion. AMDG

39 SWM no children never married emotional black hole of need with intimacy fears iso compatible carbon-based life form -- preference given to spiritually centered individuals grounded by hefty bank accounts who don't need me to fill their empty lives with meaningful activities and ideas they couldn't possibly come up with on their own. If your best friend came up to you and said, "Listen man, you know we're best friends, right? Let's sign a contract that says we're best friends for life, and then if we ever decide not to be best friends, we go to court and you give me half your stuff."

Clicky: What not to do (how the Aggie almost died) AMDG

How many of you have had to cutaway because of line twists? Was it because the canopy was elliptical or "high performance?" I've always (in the 75+ days I've been doing this) thought that line twists were no big deal.
