Fungi to be with
The quest for mystical experience can take many forms. For some it's through contemplation - of the stars, of sacred geometry, of the navel; for some it's via meditation, others prefer to ingest psychotropic substances.In KS not so long ago expert nutritionist Patrick Holford mentioned in passing that such numinous luminaries as Plato, Aristotle and Pythagoras ingested such things in their day, so there's a respectable precedent for what follows. My position vis-a-vis drugs will become clear but I should say at this point that the visions experienced by contributors to KS do not necessarily reflect the visions experienced by the editors, and the story I'm about to relate is a warning rather than a recommendation.Not that I've ever met anyone who follows an example I've set. My own sons don't do as I do, except when I dribble and bang the table. A while ago now, friends and I and their dog, Graham, went up onto Dartmoor - to look for magic mushrooms. We were looking respectfully, we thought. The plan was to trust the moor. If the moor wanted us to find magic mushrooms, well and good. If not, fair enough. Meanwhile we would help the moor by looking very very hard.
