...And I Think My Spaceship Knows Which Way To Go

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go..."

-David Bowie, "Space Oddity"

I remember hearing this song on some mushrooms. All of the sudden I got a glimpse of something that was golden, bright, pure...I had a realization that this thing I called "me"...this body and everything in it was all
MADE UP. It was/is/and will always be complete and total BS...you can read that as, Belief Systems. But the Real Me was changeless, forever, eternal.

This book blows my mind. And that's good. Minds are for the soul purpose of being blown. I mean, if you're not thinking of at least temn impossible things before breakfast, you're just kind of existing. But the purpose of life is to be shaken, stirred, and moved and this book will definitely move you. It confirms a lot of the experiences I had during my psychedelic phase and yet made me even clearer on why I stopped.

I stopped experimenting with psychedelics after hearing a rather brilliant quote from Alan Watts. I'm paraphrasing, but he basically said, "When a scientist sees something through a microscope, he immediately goes to work on what was seen. He doesn't keep his eye glued to the microscope. So, if you have a vision on psychedelics, go to work on that vision...don't keep trying to have another one..."

And that really woke me up. I was given visions that to this day still delight me just by thinking about them. I am grateful for my experiences and my inner excursions. The final frontier is not space, but mind. We all need to be psychonauts and explore the interior realms. We are all so much. This book made me laugh, smile, and think. Some of it was a little crazy, but some of it was truly moving.

"Once in awhile you get shown the light,
In the strangest of places if you look for it right."

-the Grateful Dead, "Scarlett Begonias"

Look for the Light within yourself. You'll be amazed at what you'll find.

"Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be..."

-Willy Wonka, "Pure Imagination"

Your life is whatever you can imagine it to be.

Far Out

Loved the Anunnaki and Sumerian comparative to Hebrew, and contemporary myth.
It would seem that the human race may be monitored, and manipulated by a race of extraterrestrial, or interdimentional beings who have been controlling things since the dawn of man, or longer.
If you visit inner space you'll enjoy and learn from this book

Well written and thought-provoking

Halfway through the book and continue to get more fascinated with the content. Truly a paradigm-shifting concept.

An investigation into experiences of other realms of existence and contact with otherworldly beings

? Examines how contact with alien life-forms can be obtained through the ?inner space? dimensions of our minds

? Presents evidence that other worlds experienced through consciousness-altering technologies are often as real as those perceived with our five senses

? Correlates science fiction?s imaginal realms with psychedelic research

For thousands of years, voyagers of inner space--spiritual seekers, shamans, and psychoactive drug users--have returned from their inner imaginal travels reporting encounters with alien intelligences. Inner Paths to Outer Space presents an innovative examination of how we can reach these other dimensions of existence and contact otherworldly beings. Based on their more than 60 combined years of research into the function of the brain, the authors reveal how psychoactive substances such as DMT allow the brain to bypass our five basic senses to unlock a multidimensional realm of existence where otherworldly communication occurs. They contend that our centuries-old search for alien life-forms has been misdirected and that the alien worlds reflected in visionary science fiction actually mirror the inner space world of our minds. The authors show that these ?alien? worlds encountered through altered states of human awareness, either through the use of psychedelics or other methods, possess a sense of reality as great as, or greater than, those of the ordinary awareness perceived by our five senses.
