Ah well, I thought about this again and reappraised the situation. I had ascribed my first witnessing to acid previously but now that I think about it I first witnessed the times I had nightmares out of the blue, and waking nightmares, and worse yet, upon my fathers death. I remember screaming, I hate you God over and over later and feeling so small. I remember looking at the beams in the ceiling and they were so far away. Now I could touch them. But it's like when a kid you couldn't reach the top of the fridge. As an adult I place what I feel all the way at the back. Perspective, relativity, magick, dzogchen. Now I realize that I witnessed way back when it was merely spontaneous, pretty much anytime I was thrust back upon myself. The watching of the dad's death was something else in misery just on par with everyone else in those tragidies. Acid bad trips really weren't nothing after that. But I've taken it so much then. Rather now reaching towards the back and witnessing Erykah Badu, now that's something. I think I'm gonna be the chef at a black jazz club in the ninth. Damn that would be cool. To be a hip jazz white cat in a room of beautiful black velvet. I can hardly wait. I just hope they got the pay. Cause I ain't cheap.

I find Eckhart Tolle and Byron Katie helpful. Attachment and aversion are
usually to something other than the way things are right now.
