I have a lot more to add, but this is what is available so far.
I don't want this to be an advertisement, but I think these pictures will
help many of you progress your path. If there is enough interest, I will
post them all to one of the binary newsgroups. BTW: There is instant
access on the first call now. If all you want to do is call, grab the
GIFS, and disconnect, that is fine.

| Entheogenic substances offer us this possibility. I |
|personally believe they may be the only realistic chance we have |
|to make such an unlikely quantum leap of consciousness in the brief |
|time remaining. While we definitely run the risk of opening up |
|another wave of drug excesses in furthering this work, I believe |
|the extreme gravity of our situation makes that risk IRRELEVANT. |
|Part of our strategy should be to retain and use the word: entheogen. |
|It rather precisely reminds us of the proper set and setting necessary|
|for success. --Jim DeKorne |
