It is very possible for everyone to access other worlds without hallucinogenic substances or having to be highly spiritual. I have done it and know lots of people that have. There are techniques out there.
good slideshow talk! enjoying it
really enjoyed this, thanks Jules
Thank you John Higgs for making the video game Crash 'n' Burn ❤️
I found myself at work simply copying Blake pictures. He is mesmerising
In Blake's notebook (26min in the video) /23 May 1810 you read as "found the WORLD golden", to me it looks like 'WORD golden'. WORLD makes more sense, but on a page in one of Blake's letters (29min in the video)he writes WORLD 6 times and never leaves the letter L out. So does he mean WORLD or WORD?
25 mins in - could it be "23 May 1810 found the Word Golden" ?
Highly likely that Blake did eat mushrooms. They would be growing all around him in London and surrounding countryside.
God does not dwell in temples made with hands, but we are his temple's says Bible. I guess that was Blake's basis.
Where does the Bible say that?
53:20 Wouldn't he had written about it in his letters if he did psychedelics? I would think that would be an experience you tell ppl (if not the time looked at it as something really bad, that Idk.)
If Blake read Shakespeare, I believe that is where he got his insight into how the human mind works. Whoever “ Shakespeare” was, he was a genius too.
I wonder if he used opium. Sometimes the things he says reminds me of Thomas de Quincy,s confessions of an opium eater.
