I'm too high to answer that, so you could just suggest things. I'm very open minded.

Bong Water by Hornburg was alright.
1984 by Orwell is a favorite of mine.
Or anything by Franz Kafka is good :thumbup:

Meditations - Marcus Aurelius

It was written by a Roman Emperor deeply rooted in philosophy. I read quite a lot and this was one of the most profound and deeply affecting books I've ever had the pleasure reading.

I can also second 1984 if you haven't read it.  Some of the books written by Stephen hawking, like brief history of time and the universe in a nutshell are also fascinating.

Food of the Gods by Terence McKenna  :bow2:

The Psychedelic Experience by Tim Leary and others if you're into tripping. In my opinion it's a must-read for trippers :thumbup:

The Secret by Rhonda Bryne. Best, most useful  book i've ever read.


The Secret is only the best book i've ever read because it's benefiting my life to unlimited levels. Food of the Gods and The Psychedelic Experience are also my favourite books but for other genres

I was just telling someone how I thought "down and out in paris and London" was a far superior book.  And though the concepts are good, "1984" and "animal farm" are a bit dry.

I guess orwell is much like Huxley in that regard, where both are such talented writers, that they don't  need to retreat to the world of fiction to convey something entertaining and thoughtful.  And that they almost dampen their impact by doing so

start reading the 'Wheel of Time' series by Robert Jordan. you'll be set on books for a while - as long as you like action/adventure/fantasy.


but for starters i would say, in this order:
  • Animal Farm by George Orwell
  • A Brave New World by Alodus Huxely
  • The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
  • Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien

Acidic, I heard the "wheel of time" series can drag, to like a ridiculous degree.  though, I'm generally not a fan of fantasy, always more into sci-fi.

1984 by George Orewell isn't a fun book. It's about living in mega tyranny. Worse than Nazi Germany. Interestingly, the book which was the first real 1984-style book is called Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Al sounded crazy to people back then but all his predictions have come true - and the worst is yet to come! Al only knew because the Huxley family was part of an "elite" group of families which rule the world. His brother or something was in charge of some of their dirty work and he told Al what goes down.

Don't read 1984. I'm sure it's fascinating n all. But when you understand how the world really works, and understand just how real it is, it just takes it to a whole new level of :feelsbadman:

Fortunalty i have a plan to be safe in the future and i have weed for now so i am :feelsgoodman:

Crazy conspiracy stuff aside, a Russian book "we" is credited as being the inspiration for both BNW and 1984 (though I think orwell always denied it).  But if you liked BNW you should check out island, which was kind of the antithesis to it

There are many incompetent people in the world. Dr. David A. Dunning is haunted by the fear that he might be one of them.

Dunning, a professor of psychology at Cornell, worries about this because, according to his research, most incompetent people do not know that they are incompetent.

On the contrary. People who do things badly, Dunning has found in studies conducted with a graduate student, Justin Kruger, are usually supremely confident of their abilities -- more confident, in fact, than people who do things well.

One reason that the ignorant also tend to be the blissfully self-assured, the researchers believe, is that the skills required for competence often are the same skills necessary to recognize competence.

The incompetent, therefore, suffer doubly, they suggested in a paper appearing in the December issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

"Not only do they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it," wrote Kruger, now an assistant professor at the University of Illinois, and Dunning.

there is one book "Winter's Heart" that drags a little, probably my least favourite out of the series; but it's finally coming to a close now, even though the Robert Jordan is, unfortunately, dead, he thankfully kept extensive notes and exactly how the series should end. i have only read the first part of the final book (it's being released in 3 parts) and i like where it's heading. the second part was just released this past november, i'm waiting for my sister's boyfriend to finish it so i can read it, as i won't be buying it until it comes out in paperback so as not to mismatch my collection thus far.

i personally love the series, and have read it - albeit incomplete as it is - several times so far. thinking about re-reading again, or at least the last couple of books while my sister's bf finishes the new one to refresh my memory.

so yes, it does drag in some parts, but it is overall a superb series and definitely worth at least one read.

I think both 1984 and Brave New World make valid points.  1984, written following WW2, deals more with the rise of the military-industrial complex and a society that survives through constant war.  It's also important to note brave new world was written before the advent of nuclear weapons, something huxley admits changes some of his views on the subject.

I would read Brave New World before 1984, especially if you are looking for a lighter read. 

If you go Kafka, I suggest starting with the Penal Colony or Metamorphosis.  I think all of his stuff is short story form.

Ursula LeGuin wrote a decent fantasy series called Earthsea that I enjoyed a few years ago. 

HP Lovecraft is one of my absolute favorites.  His work is mostly sci-fi, cultish thrillers.  Any one of the compilations would be good, but I would grab one that has At The Mountains of Madness in it.  I think it is a great introduction to his work and there is going to be a movie about it soon.

Stephen King's The Stand is har to beat too.  It is worlds better than the movie made 20 years ago.  I read the original print version when I was 8.  I happened to finish it right as the uncensored version his the shelves, so I read it all over again (back to back).  Actually... I think I am going to buy it right now on Amazon so I can read this weekend.

Stephen King's IT is also a very respectable horror novel.  His character development in IT is very admirable.

The suggestions about Leary and McKenna are good ones.  I highly suggest Leary's autobiography called Flashbacks, it is fun to read and gives some great and amazing stories about the adventures Leary had at Harvard, with beatnik artists, in jail, etc .  I treat McKenna's Food of the Gods like a reference book.  I bought it hard copy and go back to it almost as much as my dictionary.

I am not a cannabis grower.  I find the cannabis growers to be the most open to experimenting and sharing out of all of the different botany groups I enjoy.  I frequently use the suggestions that I find to apply to own organic gardening and food production.

Anyone read anything by Edgar Cacye?

He's an old-school fella who, without the aid of Plant Teachers, got himself into a trance state and wrote books about revelations he had whilst in the trance.

I've only read a tincy wincy bit of his work (getting some of his books soon). He made a lot of predictions for the futre. All being jaw-droppingly accurate.

He deffinatly has my stamp of approval :thumbup:

Edward Cayce is some pretty profound stuff. He would come up with remedies while in a trance state and helped hundreds and hundreds of people. He'd let them into his home for sessions and they'd line up around the house. While in a trance he came up with the idea of inserting a nail into a kid's leg to set his broken knee. We still use this medical practice of setting broken bones and he actually invented it.

I really like his work about lucid dreaming. It's probably the best resource for the subject that I've encountered. Not really sure what to think of all his predictions and information on Atlantis though.

I've only read a tincy wincy bit of his work (getting some of his books soon). He made a lot of predictions for the futre. All being jaw-droppingly accurate.

He deffinatly has my stamp of approval :thumbup:




Yeah, a bunch of stuff.  I have been to his foundation in Virginia Beach too.  It is a really nice place with free classes, meditations, yoga, etc...

I can trade / lend book with you Ganjy if you like.

Here are all the books i can recall:

- The Secret
- The Psychedelic Experience
- Food of the Gods
- 2013: The End of Times or a New Begining (discusses all the ideas about what will happen for 2012. Fucking interesteing. Not cheesy at all. Has to be the best book on 2012. I decided to read it after having a 2012 insight during my last trip)
- The Invisible Landscape by Terence McKenna and his brother (this book covers the most philosopical stuff. But it is so hard to understand. Literally, every 20th word i'd have to look up the definition. Too much for me. I only read 1/4. I don't recomend it unless you're veeerrry philosophical and know a lot of long, un-common words)
- Awakening to the Toa (about Toasim. Pretty much explains how to be all peaceful, loving and accepting by using all sorts of medaphores. Good shit)
- Meditations from the Joint by Tommy Chong (a book Tommy Chong wrote while spending 9 months in prison. Nice, heart-warming story)
- The Secret Life of Weed (lil book on how to grow weed. Both inside and outside)

I have a couple other books but on very differnet topics. If you're interested in the best true crime books (best an in most extreme) then consider the following:

-The Iceman
-Gas Pipe

Will be getting a lot of books by Edgar Cacey, The Archaic Revival by Terence McKenna and also Flashbacks by Tim Leary within the next few months. After i've read them i can trade / lend them too :smile:

That reminds me, killing pablo by mark bowden is a good one too.  It's all about the CIA involvement in taking down his drug enterprise.

Lol CIA taking down drug enterprise. They smuggle the drugs! In the 80's and / or 90's they got busted big-time. Got in no trouble whatsoever though.

Google "CIA busted smuggling drugs" if you don't believe me

They play both sides man. You would be delusional to think every drug smuggler is in their pocket.  The ones who aren't are taken out. Pablo got too powerful for his own good.

Of course not ever drug dealer is in their pocket :lol:

Yer, not shit. And at the end of the day the "mega-banks" are the winners. They loan money to countries to fund drug prohibition and they also smuggle the drugs via organisations such as the CIA.

It' fucking rediculous how they get away with it along with 100000 other things

Same goes for our aid to Pakistan, they aid and allow insurgents to cross the border into Afghanistan, then they retreat back over the border.  We've known about this, and yet have no desire to go to war with Pakistan due to their nuclear armament. It's only currently come into public after the wikileaks release.

I was just about to explain how all his predicions i'm aware of have either occured or there is evidence to suggest they are about to but i cbf'd. Too much.

Yer his Altantis stuff is very...un-heard of. Not saying it's not true.

Some of his ideas on Altantis are:
- Atlantis was the first place on Earth where spiritual man became phyiscally human
- People live today, have experienced previous incarcinations on Atlantis
- Atlantis reached an astonishing level of technology before it sank into the ocean around 10,000 BCE, including TVs, lazers, atomic energy and cybernotics
- Altantis will rise again

With spiritual things, before tripping, i remember being not very open to there being a "spirit world" or whatever. After tripping, all that stuff is very plausable seeing that i've experienced a lot of it. So when i hear out-there things like Cacye's ideas on Altantis, i take them seriously

The problem with all that is the lack of tangible evidence. Psychedelic drugs have a profound effect on the mind, but many people get locked into delusions surrounding their experiences with them. 

I guess anyone can believe what they want but, if I say I can fly most people would want to see me fly, not explain to them how I know I can fly.

That said I do think we are all connected, but it's in no way spiritual.  In other words string theory.

Either way I think we can both agree the mind is an amazing organ.

I'm curious what predictions has he made, and were they only connected after the fact, or was there certainty to them?  The problem I have with "predictions" is that they only connect the dots and interpret meaning after the prediction takes place.  Vagueness can create an illusion of precognition.

Well I think he has info that is bigger than what he has so far posted, and he's threatened to release it if anything happens to him.  The pentagon seems pretty anxious to find out what that is, but who knows?  The world is a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

Have you ever had any full-blown spiritual trips? I'm talking 10/10 spiritual...

I'll tell ya some of his predicitons from my book which dedicates a few pages to him:

- A shift in the planet's axis in or around the year 2000 CBE, leading to the flooding of costal regeons and the loss of much of Japan, Greenland and some of Northern Europe (heard of the shifting magnetic filed? That sould have something to do with it)

- New Land appearing off the East Coast of America (i remember Alex Jones saying a couple months ago how new islands are appearing somewhere - can't remember but pretty sure it was off the East Coast of America)

- Massive destruction of LA, San Fran and the disapearence of NY (this could be from a major false falg terrorist attack which we will witness before the 2012 elections in America)

- Volcanic eruptions of increasing intensity along the Pacific Rim (HAARP, solar flares, changing magnetic field...)

- The Appearence of a land bridge between South and North America. Which surprisingly appears on the ancient Piri reis maps (changine magnetic field...)

- Global warming in cool regeons and cooling in warm regeons (HAARP, solar flares, changing magnetic field, etc.)


Edy was born in 1877 so i find it well impressive that he made all those accurate predictions so long ago

Empirical evidence is tangible evidence, and observation through experience is the definition of empiricism. You can form logical constructs outside of physical experience. Case in point- mathematics, as well as Einstein's famous 'thought experiments'. True, some people go into delusions, but others also resist the truly phenomenal. There is definitely more to the human experience than these three or even four dimension, and I believe psychedelic drugs allow our senses to perceive more than they are normally capable of. Or rather, allows our mind to process information from the senses that it usually just ignores.

Spiritual is just a word to describe something very hard to explain. You call it string theory, others have no knowledge of theoretical physics and call the connection something else. I don't have any idea how to describe what I feel. I just know there's some weird shit going on out there and we're a lot closer than we think we are.

The mind is not an organ. The brain is an organ; a collective tissue with a specific purpose.. do you think that the mind is entirely contained within the brain? That every thought, whim, and emotion in your head is caused by a series of chemical balances and reactions? The very action of producing (entirely nonphysical) thought.. just proteins ?

Um.. there always was a land bridge between North and South America? Panama and Costa Rica solidly connect North and South America. That's why we had to cut through Panama to create the canal.

What a great mindset. We can all learn so much that way

:billymaythumbup:

I was being very sarcastic. Best to listen to all the info and make your own decision without simply resorting to pre-determined cultural beliefs

Right. I still don't see the context of your sarcasm. You can't agree with a sarcastic statement otherwise it's not sarcasm.

I interpreted your previous post's message as "don't take any of that crap seriously". You saying "Um..." at the start sure did give your messaqge a sarcastic tone.

I just wanted to remind you to be open-minded. It's better, trust me

I'm not sure appeals to cultural belief are going to help you over come the fact that there's a place called "Central America"

I got "cultural beliefs" from "cultural operating system."

You fellas got so sidetracked. THEBats just asked for some of Edgar Cacye's predictions so i told him some.

Now i'm getting in trouble for his predictions? Stop now

The problem with all that is the lack of tangible evidence. Psychedelic drugs have a profound effect on the mind, but many people get locked into delusions surrounding their experiences with them. 

I guess anyone can believe what they want but, if I say I can fly most people would want to see me fly, not explain to them how I know I can fly.

That said I do think we are all connected, but it's in no way spiritual.  In other words string theory.

Either way I think we can both agree the mind is an amazing organ.

I'm curious what predictions has he made, and were they only connected after the fact, or was there certainty to them?  The problem I have with "predictions" is that they only connect the dots and interpret meaning after the prediction takes place.  Vagueness can create an illusion of precognition.




Empirical evidence is tangible evidence, and observation through experience is the definition of empiricism. You can form logical constructs outside of physical experience. Case in point- mathematics, as well as Einstein's famous 'thought experiments'. True, some people go into delusions, but others also resist the truly phenomenal. There is definitely more to the human experience than these three or even four dimension, and I believe psychedelic drugs allow our senses to perceive more than they are normally capable of. Or rather, allows our mind to process information from the senses that it usually just ignores.

Spiritual is just a word to describe something very hard to explain. You call it string theory, others have no knowledge of theoretical physics and call the connection something else. I don't have any idea how to describe what I feel. I just know there's some weird shit going on out there and we're a lot closer than we think we are.

The mind is not an organ. The brain is an organ; a collective tissue with a specific purpose.. do you think that the mind is entirely contained within the brain? That every thought, whim, and emotion in your head is caused by a series of chemical balances and reactions? The very action of producing (entirely nonphysical) thought.. just proteins ?




I do believe the mind is contained within the brain, but yes you are correct, and is what I meant when I said the mind is a fascinating organ.  The brain is the organ, the mind is rather the complex networking of neurons and their interactions with one another. Direct physical changes will effect the way you think. Specific areas of the brain become active when performing certain tasks, we can isolate their specific function.

Also I've had very spiritual trips, but I'm a skeptic and remain very cautious to my mind getting misconstrued by these experiences. 

And while the experience is tangible/empirical the interpretation is not.  It's almost akin to dream interpretation, which in my opinion is mostly subjective bs.

And as far as those predictions, well...

I'm pretty sure being open minded is what's inferred by:

My bad man, for real though. I just see flaws in an argument and I have a tendency to jump on it. It's not personal to you, I just really enjoy exchanging ideas, and a bit of healthy debate is usually helpful.

That relationship and network between neurons is maintained by electrical impulses, the firing of synapses. It's the electromagnetic field created by all of these impulses which provides the perception of a mind. That electromagnetic field is a cloud of energy, and that field isn't necessarily localized within the body. Dozens and dozens of studies have proven, almost beyond the shadow of doubt, that the mind can exert influence over relationships of cause and effect beyond it's physical reach (the phenomena of observation in quantum physics, the influence over probability in random number generators, etc).

Specific and isolated parts of the brain also become active through the act of thought alone, a nonphysical stimuli. Our brain's physiological response technically can't differ between imagination and reality. This is why we can experience legitimate fear through imaginary thoughts. Why a sickening idea can make your stomach drop. What's not real is just as real as what is real, and what is real is just as imaginary as what is not :lol:.

Our brains most certainly do have designated regions for specific tasks, I just don't think that the immense capacity and potential of our minds is entirely contained within this 3lb mass of flesh. It is an observed fact that your muscles technically begin to move before the signal from your brain, supposedly meant to command it, even reaches the muscle. There has to be something else going on here.

No really. Brain waves outside of the brain? You just said neurons aren't necessarily localized within the body?

Thread is already derailed. I'm just happy the book recommendations steered away from the growery/shroomery cliche of "must reads". I'm surprised I didn't a Hunter Thompson book.
