    Few weeks ago I read up on A. Muscaria, picked up a couple in a local forest, decarboxydized them in an oven and drank tea with 4g of (poorly) dried mushroom. 3 days before sleep.

    Holy mother of fungi, it’s like having an antidepressant that, you know, works. Deep sleep duration increased from 10 to 19%. Walking up in the morning felt normal. Weed consumption dropped roughly by half.

    Only after three evenings, effects are felt four days after, although waining.

    I’m just a noise on the Internet, my words are worth nothing. But read up on the mushroom, it’s definitely something different from what people think it is.



  • Ah, another non mainstream source of inspirational knowledge is the Blindboy Boatclub podcast. Over years he produced a lot of episodes on the subjects of mental health and experiences delivered in a very democratic, relatable way. Mixed with crazy hot takes, like how Ney York disco was the original punk for/by LGBT community, seasoned with a thickest Limerick accent and storytelling. Delicious.


  • Happiness is not found. It’s not an object, rather a state of perception. The more you’ll objectify and discretize happiness, the less likely you’re to achieve it.

    That being said, usually drugs.

    On a serious note, two books helped me to understand this mystery a bit more

    1. Zen Mind, beginner’s mind by S. Suzuki
    2. Flow: the psychology of optimal experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.




  • Just as Christianity is not a unified church, and is divided into Orthodox, Protestants, Catholics, evangelists, Baptists, and the bazillion of other denominations, Buddhism is very different ranging from extreme practices of Shingon sect, to a very practical philosophy of Dogen’s Zen Buddhism.

    Buddhism is many things, and religion as well.
