In extreme cases, people under the influence of religion will kill themselves or others, as we saw on 9-11 and have seen throughout history.
In the 'end, we deserve what we get, either way you're walking.

This is what I present to every soul here...if you are not feeling this elation, you are missing
why you were born.

..with songs they have sung for a thousands years...

The thing is...you know it...you know you are missing something....because that is what you were
meant to feel...that is Home. It really is that simple.


If someone asks, What's your point?....discuss.

Do you glow in the dark? Do you irradiate rooms into which you travel? If I look at you directly for a lengthy period of time, will I go blind? Do little birds and deer and butterflies follow you around everywhere you go? Do the birds and deer and butterflies get irradiated?

I don't think MDMA makes people radioactive.

My version


"The wetlands are alive with the sounds of bull frogs"


Went for a walk couple of weeks ago and came upon a wetlands reclamation area where the bullfrogs were so loud we had to get closer to each other to talk. It was joyous to hear.


Tried to get an audio on here but my computer skills are pretty lousy.

No, but you might share in the $$ I find on the ground wherever I go ...now it is shared
with legless sign holders.

I just saw this Miss Hepburn - https://youtu.be/zcOHMGe7lYg You're probably having more peak experiences than others

I don't know much about Maslow, but his theory is based more on self-actualization than religion.
