I warned you its long so dont bitch, here's that crap i wrote one of the times i did shrooms when i got home and went to bed, i just scribbled down loads of crap and after a bit of neatening this is the blog i came up with:::
Um i'm not much into this blog crap but i finally got round to typing up something i wrote while i was comming down off a night of many shrooms, obviously you can tell some parts i wasnt quite thinking straight but overall this is what i think:
I have a dream of technological paradise. I believe we are nothing more than animals, I was never big on science at school because of the way it was put forward, boring facts and diagrams and equations but I have come to realise that science is amazing, we are infact life, there are millions and millions of forms of life in this reality and we are lucky enough to be the most intelligent form of life known yet. There are things that are in this reality that are not alive like the rocks and the water and there are things that are alive for a brief moment in reality. This is a gift, the subject of death is something people just don't talk about but I accept it openly, we are not immortal, nothing is immortal, and also I do not know what happens after we die, I believe we do not have the capacity to contemplate such things, as with the beginning of reality, we just don't have complex enough brains to work that one out but I do have a complex enough brain to admit that I don't and probably will never know. I don't fool myself with fantasies of a creator on the clouds or a magical land we go to when we die, those are things made up to control. I am not rubbishing spirituality, I fully accept I am young, and as a human I am ignorant, there may be further things in this reality that I have no concept of at all, but for a start I would like to concentrate on the reality I am in at the moment, and the reality I am in at the moment is a world destroying itself, somewhere along the story of the human species one of the more intelligent humans realised that they could control they rest, this is done in the form of religion and some from of human power such as monarchy or government, and the people caught up in these things are made to believe that to rebel against these powers would cause chaos. But no, stop being such a sheep, we are all intelligent creatures, we no longer need to be controlled. The human race has advanced through different stages as it works out how to use what the world has to offer, first we shaped the rocks and killed the lesser intelligent animals for our own use, then we discovered metals, gradually moving onwards with plastics and chemicals and at the moment we have mastered electricity. But we are not using it to the best of our ability, we are using it to make money, it's the thing that is really keeping us down, this craving for something that doesn't exist, nature has no payment, what is needs is provided and it takes it as it needs it, we should follow this example.
What I am talking about is communism but I hate to use that term as it has failed so much in the past, we have reached a level now where I know we could make a community where our lives are made extremely easy by technology and everyone gets to enjoy life each day as it comes. Obviously things need to get done, but no-one would mind doing their selected job if people were matched with a task they are good at and if they have more days off then they do working. I am talking about a dream society where people work for 3 days, recreate for 4 days, all tedious jobs of life are done by technology and the technology is powered by our provided power source, the sun. If you are hungry you are given some food, if you are thirsty you are given some water, if you want some clothes you are given some clothes. As one of the few rules of the society anyone who abuses these necessities would simply be sent away from the community and they can crawl back to the rest of this failing world. We are all equal, there is no need for greed, if we were in such an easy and loving life people would feel no need to rebel and so the system could work freely rather than being made to work by force, you see I am not talking about communism as it as been done in the past like this is your hut, these are your clothes, no I am talking about a totally free communism with the technology of file sharing and machines to make things if you want some music, you download it, if you want a movie you download it, if you want a t-shirt you order it and it is made. The possibilities are endless and I know your mind which has been in your society all its life is screaming at you now saying it could never happen but it could, I know it could, because the fact is, if it doesn't happen the human race will continue to create its own destruction. We need to live in peace, there is no need for all these wars and murders and they are about money and religion. We need to reject money and religion, they are not the way of nature and accept it or not we are nature. We are matter which is in this reality which is alive, not for very long, but we are alive and we need to make the most of it.
I have to say thank you so much for reading this far, I can't apologise enough for how crudely I have put this but I am young, I didn't pay much attention in school and I am very very frustrated. I know what must be done but the world is so vast and I am so little, I feel like a germ on a gigantic round rock, however much I dream there is really nothing I can do on my own, but the human race has a wonderful team quality, if enough people believe something then they can make it happen, so if you have similar feelings on the sate of the world or if what I have tried to explain has inspired you please please please send me and email, pass this on, add your own feelings, do whatever you want. This is a scream for help, something needs to be done, we need to form a community and see how it goes, the human race never progressed by sticking to the same routine, we need to move forwards for the better, and preferably in my life time, as I fear this may be the only one I get and I don't want to waste it doing tedious jobs so I can buy stuff I don't need.
Now if you've read this far then again thank you, all the above was the really important stuff I needed to get out, the rest is about my dream, I fully accept this is just my dream, It probably will never happen but the important thing is it could do. The problem is some people are so hooked by their society they would kill to stop it from changing, we cant just set up a community because all land has been sold off now for this money or it is owned by some government, and the ideals of freedom we would live would offend some of the most extreme members of some societies maybe causing more war and pain and death which is the last thing I would ever want to do. So I have come across two ideas, both hideously far fetched but both possible with our technology and the human will. One is that we set us an underground community and by that I mean actually under the surface of the earth in the core, the entrance would have to be somewhere remote and ungoverned such as a desert and all that could be seen of our community would be acres of solar panels for our power and we would have to secure a water source as well but it could be done. Once that is established we could revolutionise the way we live, I have no fear at all at "playing god" we have these big brains, lets use them, that means growing fruit and vegetables in big hydro plants, sun and soil is primitive, we could grow food quicker, bigger and healthier using lights and nutrients and science. The same with animals for meat, lets breed the perfect lump of meat on legs, it's not cruel, they are not intelligent enough to be offended by this, as long as we feed them, look after them and kill them humanely then where is the evil ? We would have little need for oil and plastics and what is needed could be traded with resources we have, metals needed for the technology could be mined and everything else we could provide ourselves. We are a very resourceful species, I'm sure we could do it. All we need to do is form this community and eliminate greed and hatred and jealously and evil in general. Instead of teaching children about lakes of fire and pearly gates we will teach them about human morals, what is right and wrong, the importance of the conscience, not forcing it on them, simply guiding them to the way of a happy fulfilled life.
The other option is that we go to another planet. Other planets don't have any rules and we could try a kind of earth take two, this would be extremely difficult and properly wouldn't happen in our lifetime but I would still rather it happen and the human race is saved than we continue the way we are and we blow each other up and poison the world. There you have it, that is my dream, I don't want to be a celebrity, I don't want to own a big house, a fancy car, a beautiful wife, I want humans to realise their place in reality rather than living in their own little worlds and I want us to change for the better so that we can advance gradually, inhabiting the planets like we inhabited the different islands, exploring the galaxy like we explored the sea and making our very own paradise until they day the sun runs out and out reality is over.
Thanks for reading this and please get in touch and let me know what you think...

Some interesting views there westy, you've thought deeply about, however with such a specific view, their are going to be criticisms. Firstly i think you care too much about this reality and its civilisation. In the big picture we dont know what we are and what reality is, The most important thing which is what u seemingly try to state is that we are all free and we should know, and act like it. Aslong as in your mind you know your not imprisoned under the darkness and the lies of society, you are free. As it is all mental, the control is kept through our minds, they are not physically controlling us. I think your communist idea is interesting but i dont think it would really work because humans are too different from eachother, everybody would have to think the same and be the sameto a certain degree, and also as you have stated people are to ignorant, i dont think we would advance in technology as quickly either, because who would do it, no one is going to work extra hard, to only get the same as everyone else. We are better sticking to the world we live in, yes it is destroying itself, but we do not have to live behing there cage, this is one mortality in a long life of imortality....

damn man i know, people only work hard for money, it all boils down to money and it really pisses me off, no other life form needs to create a fake need, why cant we just take what the earth gives us and enjoy it ? anyways you know how fucked i was when i wrote that, i think it was Iyshas, or that time at my sisters ... anyways YES MENTAL FREEDOM !
