#1. no unnecessary suffering

#2. bondage is for the bedroom

#3. never complain; never explain

#4. don’t should on yourself

My ego quakes 

Everything in the dark inside me shifts

and breaks 

Light peers through the cracks

Illuminating the shadows

That once held me back 

The blindfolds that I wear

One for sex one for sleep 

How many more blindfolds did I choose to keep 

Hiding beneath the safety of a story

The darkness can’t see pain or glory 

Just as the night strips us of our senses

Flying wildly and putting up defenses

Wake up 

Strong emotions don’t need to be reckless 

Command the energy 

Create

There’s giving love

There’s receiving love

There’s being love

There is giving 

There is receiving 

There is being 

If you be as you truthfully are 

You will give without expectation 

You will receive without hesitation

And within you begins the restoration 

My heart beats with this message from the trees

From hawk and hummingbird and the earth around me

A circle forms

The light returned

I take with me the lessons learned 

All in a moment

I break open

“The joy of a psychedelic is when you have the balls to go into the darkness and all of a sudden you realize that darkness was a complete illusion. All the darkness and negativity and spooky feelings, and guilt, and fear, and crap you thought was inside you, and all the bad things you thought you’ve done, and all the things you feel terrible about secretly…you realize that’s nothing. İt’s an illusion. The universe loves you, you are completely embraced by the entire universe. You are an incremental part of the functioning of the cosmos. You are an incredible, wonderful, perfect thing. And when you get a glimpse of that, it’s the greatest feeling ever. Because you’re healed. Because that’s what true healing is, man. True healing is realizing you were never sick in the first place. True healing is realizing you just had a little bit of dust on the windshield man… you gotta brush it off… that’s all."
