Philosophy Wire: Fall to sleep...


Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2014-08-22]: Psychedelic drugs alter consciousness in a profound and novel way that increases the breadth and fluency of cognition, just as dreaming does. [1] We want to believe that all important things happen while we are awake. And yet... Fall to sleep... To wake up!

Philosophy Wire: DMT, Dreams, Death.


Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2014-02-27]:

A drug causing time dilation.
A drug causing dreams.[1]
The inner eye we once knew we had…
Only in the death does it open completely.
What you knew as white is black...

Philosophy Wire: Drugs. Puke. Visions.


Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2014-01-22]: Jungle drug Ayahuasca could revolutionize psychotherapy. [1] Νausea. Visions. Vomiting that makes you feel perfect. Mysterious wizards who suck the "evil" out of your belly. Ancient rituals. Being free in the mind. An old secret long forgotten... Only Nature who has locked the secrets of our very nature away from us, can unlock them...

LSD, απελευθερωμένη συνείδηση / LSD, unleashed consciousness













Φιλοσοφικό Τηλεγράφημα του Σπύρου Κάκου [2013-12-30]:  Ζωγραφίζοντας υπό την επήρρεια LSD. [1] Το συγκεκριμένο γίνεται Ασαφές. Το Εγώ γίνεται Τα πάντα. Το Βαρετό γίνεται Μαγικό. Κάτι που κρύβεται στον κόσμο για καιρό, προσπαθεί να βγει έξω και να ουρλιάξει... Απελευθερωμένη συνείδηση!

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2013-12-30]: Painting under LSD. [1] The Specific becomes Vague. The I becomes Everything. Dull becomes Magical. Something hiding for a long time in the world, tries to get out and scream... Consciousness unleashed!

Drugs to release the mind ?! - Ναρκωτικά για την απελευθέρωση του νου ;!


A researcher. A thinker. And yet, a drug user...

Ένας ερευνητής. Ένας στοχαστής. Και όμως, ένας χρήστης ναρκωτικών...

Every place will hold its secrets from you. You can never see the Amazon jungle, if you keep intact the bubble of linguistic assumptions of the place you started out from. (Terence McKenna discusses if reality is real)

Culture and ideology are not your friends. This is a hard thing to come to terms with because some kind of alienation lies at the end of this thought process. Culture is not you. Culture is for the convenience of culture. How many times have your sexual desires, career aspirations, financial dealings, aesthetic inclinations been squashed, twisted, rejected and minimized by cultural values? (Terence McKenna, The Universe inside)

Mystery didn't die with the fall of Atlantis. It still exists in every moment. It just lies behind the barrier of courage. (Terence McKenna, The Universe inside)

Wherever and whenever the ego function began to form, it was akin to a cancerous tumor or a blockage in the energy of the psyche. The use of psychedelic plants in a context of shamanic initiation dissolved - as it dissolves today - the knotted structure of the ego into undifferentiated feeling, what Eastern philosophy calls the Tao. (Terence McKenna, Food of the Gods)

Try to free your mind.
Try to let go of your brain...
It is just a distraction.
Focus on what you don't see...
Hear what you don't hear...

Προσπάθησε να ελευθερώσεις το νου σου.
Μη δίνεις σημασία στον εγκέφαλο σου.
Είναι απλά ένας περισπασμός.
Συγκεντρώσου σε ό,τι δεν βλέπεις...
Άκου αυτό που δεν ακούς...

As Green Day said it so eloquently... "As soon as you're born they make you feel small"... Try to grow beyond what you have learnt as "correct"!

Όπως και οι Green Day το είπαν τόσο καλά, "Με το που γεννιέσαι σε κάνουν να αισθάνεσαι μικρός"... Προσπάθησε να μεγαλώσεις πέραν αυτού που σε έμαθαν ως "σωστό"!


Most of the times something evil lurks behind totalitarian bans like the "all drugs are evil" motto... In the old days the most wise men took (natural) "drugs". Now drug addicts are just "ill". Think about it: when was the last time Society or the State cared SO MUCH about your health? ...

Τις περισσότερες φορές κάτι πολύ κακό κρύβεται πίσω από απόλυτες απαγορεύσεις, όπως το "όλα τα ναρκωτικά είναι κακά"... Τις παλιές μέρες οι πιο σοφοί ήταν αυτοί που έπαιρναν (φυσικά) "ναρκωτικά"... Τώρα οι ναρκομανείς είναι απλά "άρρωστοι". Σκέψου λίγο: πότε ήταν η τελευταία φορά που η Κοινωνία ή το Κράτος ενδιαφέρθηκε ΤΟΣΟ ΠΟΛΥ για την υγεία σου; ...

Philosophy Wire: Drugs, consciousness, state control...


Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2013-06-05]: A former Microsoft executive has announced plans to make marijuana a brand in the US. [1]

Contrary to common belief, our society ACCEPTS the use of drugs. Alcohol, coffee, Prozac and now marijuana are all legally used in many places of the "modern" and "civilized" world. What is the catch?

That all of these drugs are altering your consciousness in a way that does not disrupt your view of society regarding its structure and functioning. No one became a rebel by drinking too much whiskey or coffee. On the other hand drugs like LSD are banned - they give their user a too much altered point of view that society cannot acceot. It is not me that says so. TED said it [The War on Consciousness - Graham Hancock].

Philosophy Wire: LSD, potential, fears…

cat-drawing-by-person-with-schizophreniaPhilosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2012-03-11]: One dose of the hallucinogenic drug LSD could help alcoholics give up drinking, according to scientists who analyzed researches conducted back in the 1960’s [source: BBC News]. LSD is a class A drug in the UK and is one of the most powerful hallucinogens ever identified. It appears to work by blocking a chemical in the brain, serotonin, which controls functions including perception and behaviour. Many philosophers think that the brain actually acts as a BARRIER, thus filtering perception and limiting our perception of reality as it is. But modern “politically correct” science cannot go to such places…
