The Viable Alternative

In the early morning of June 21, 2022, I finished a trip with my first heroic dose of psilocybin mushrooms. I started around 8:50ish PM EST and it wound down at 1:30 AM, so it was around 5 hours. Due to prior experiences with the plant, listening to the accounts of others who’ve used it for healing purposes, sitting with my uncomfortable feelings in the sauna, and having learned how to use the tools of Emotional Welcoming and Revealing taught by a company called Fearless, I was able to make the best of this trip and have my best experience yet, though it was quite intense and at times I wasn’t sure my body could take all the emotional and spiritual processing.

Yeah, I know, it’s been a long time, but if you will, follow me down this lane…

You’re a dude who’s insecure about your height because people have been poking fun at it for most of your life, and that has had a negative impact on your self esteem which in turn has had a negative impact on your dating life, career, and your social life. You feel like a victim and blame all your mishaps, failures and shortcomings on your height.

The other day, I was listening to an interview with NY Times Bestselling author, Tucker Max, in which he talked about his journey of healing and personal development.

I was 25 years old, had graduated college about a year and a half earlier, and was working a 9 to 5 at IBM as an associate consultant.

I remember it clear as day (although it was at night).

I’ve never been a drug user. The most I’ve ever tried are weed and alcohol, and I’ve never had any interest whatsoever of ever going beyond that to something harder.

A few days ago, I got a message from a friend asking me for advice because everything his child was doing was making him angry.

So yesterday, Day “whatever” of the quarantine, as I was winding down and getting ready to go to bed, I felt a bit disappointed with myself because I felt I didn’t accomplish muchthat day.

I was listening to a podcast recently with two international relationship coaches and they discussed how in the West, as opposed to other parts of the world, the feminine is often seen as weak and everyone wants to compete to be the masculine. While the Feminist movement did have some positive results regarding getting women more access to opportunities, equal protection under the law, etc, ironically I think it negated the POWER of the feminine woman.

So, several years back, when I was dating this same woman I had mentioned in a previous post about there being a “third option” between the nice guy and the bad boy, her and I were driving to a barbecue out in Jersey one Memorial Day Weekend and, at a pit stop somewhere, wound up getting into a heated discussion.
