final note from the desk of a psilo-overman

[Bled Welder]

Yes.  I don't know anything about a soul.  Oh sure, I was Hoffmann's best comrade in the 90s.  Different substance than the psilocybe.  But I was a youngster then, who knows.  Perhaps the black hole at the base of our brains is also self-evident on sufficient grammages of d s l.
Being a potential psilo-0verman, or, technically speaking, a potential Conduit, have you noticed the black hole at the base of your brain, and that all the data of your timespace experience is retained on the edges of it, and may travel in a free exchange of information into other timeless dimensions?  And have you noticed that one may go into a timeless dimension, then return into this timespace, and, inevitably, because it has already happened forward and backward, recur again and again the same within this timespace?  Have any of your late 20th century comrades done so?  I'm on the lookout!  Something McKenna seems to have missed, anyway.
Someone has pointed out to me that the machine technology merging with the psilocybe technology is unnecessary to human's connection with the psilocybe, and I agree; I simply noticed that the overmachine hookup appears so be coming, happening.  Where the scientists who create the machines might overlook the black hole at the base of our brains, their machines will not.  For the sake of our Conduit-identity, it may be in our interest to avoid this.  Unless we can merge our identities with the overmachines.
And I do agree with the possible repetetiveness of the experience, since for now it appears that it is necessary to absorb the psilocybe to make contact, but it's not like the timeless dimensions are anymore exciting.  Until I can interpret the data, it only appears timeless.  No television that I can see.  An internet of types, maybe.  Is that fun?  Is there be fun to be had in timeless dimensions?

        The natural technology is the psilocybe. 

      
    
    

    In the last two or three decades of the 20th century, when naturally
    growing Magic Mushrooms were --- in the absence of
    EU-law-enforcement --- completely legal over here, folks collected
    thousands and thousands of them --- "Spitzkegelige Kahlköpfe" (there
    are also other local species, growing on trees) --- on precipitous
    sheep-meadows in early Autumn. We dried them and filled dozens of
    Japanese tea boxes ...

    

    A-and yes, having been absolutely uninterested in religion during my
    childhood and early puberty, 'shrooms indeed showed me a way to
    G.O.T.T., --- making me believe into my immortal Soul!

    

    Very good thing, this. Of course there are many other ways ...  

    

    By the time your number of journeys has reached three digits,
    however, they tend to repeat themselves and the whole thing becomes
    more and more like an ordinary stimulation. Same for the case of Dr.
    Albert H's best medicine. And this has nothing to do with the dosage
    or the circumstances.

    

    Either you've gone over the hill, or you have learned your precious
    lessons. 

    

    And the doors will be open forever ...  You can throw the keys away!

    

    Btw, some German judges they don't follow the EU-laws and still
    think that the State has no right at all to forbid its citizens to
    collect and use naturally growing plants for purposes whatsoever. 

    

    And yes, what Grass writes in "The Flounder" about Amanita Muscaria
    ("Fliegenpilz") is much better informed than what Pynchon does to it
    in "Gravity's Rainbow". A question of, um, experience?  :-)
