Yeah I ordered the wallet lol.. I'm too paranoid to pass that shit up. It sucks that they will come too late in the year. I was really looking forward to an outdoor grow. Fuck it. Too late on getting the order delivered to another address lol.
Don't worry about it, bro. I've also ordered seeds from a few different banks and no problems. I would use the stealth option where they send them in a T-shirt or mug, it's a little extra but I think it's worth it. I once received as a gift from Attitude a white t-shirt with a huge picture of Hendrix's face, and large print reading, 'Supply The Demand!' One evening, I wore it to a bar when a buddy popped over unexpectedly to take me out drinking, and picked up a couple of long time customers because of itOriginally Posted by Hepheastus420
I am now cloning and no longer fuck with seeds, but I'll probably order again in the future when I get bored with these five strains. Some good advice I read here (after the fact) is don't ever order seeds to the address at which they'll be grown, but some other heavies on here don't think it's a big deal. Like Zaehet said, you're one of millions of customers, and I guarantee there are thousands of growers that live right in your area...

Just posted this in your other thread:
Awww, C'mon Hep! This will be a fun adventure, and a great learning experience. Who cares what happens this round? Your not counting on a bumper crop to carry you through the year financially, so go out and fuck up and learn so you'll be ready next year. You may be surprised, if you move your ass those little ladies could get to 4-5 feet high!

lol I saw that. It's back on..
What a great song, I'm surprised no one has covered it lately.
My interpretation is that the pictures are trying to fit the lyrics. Einstein was indeed a radical, but not in the negative way you seem to be thinking. The next word is 'liberal' which shows Obama, then fanatical- Mckenna, then criminal- picture of police dragging man down steps during some protest. He uses a picture of Ayn Rand around 3:18 that is only there trying to answer "who I am" in a direct reference to the philosophy of Objectivism.
That's my take FWIW.
BTW, I have to tell you, I just found someone that has a source for DMT. I'm looking forward to trying it.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. ~Carl Sagan
Will you please post a link that describes the Yoist idea of death, and or an afterlife? I am legitamately interested. This is my favorite part about leaning about new philosophies of life.
"Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astounding universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy."
- Carl Sagan
Once we have established the inseparability of Occam's Razor and sincere exploration of Truth,
we can achieve deeper understandings of our own life and how it makes sense for us to live.
No possibilities can ever be completely ruled out. But it does make sense to sort out the
understandings that are currently supported by our experience from the understandings which
are not currently supported (even if someday they may be). This is the notion of exploring and
understanding the universe so that we can discover the best way to achieve the things we
want to achieve.
So lets turn our attention for a moment to a practical application of this
wisdom. There is a deep rooted human desire for life. Very few people want
to stop existing. Humans, in this respect, are like every other living
organism. We strive to stay alive, to live for another day. The evolutionary
roots of this are well understood at this point. Organisms that did not
employ every fiber of their being in the struggle to survive so that they
could one day reproduce viable offspring, and pass on this will to survive,
have, long ago, died out. It was only those organisms that favored life that
survived to exist in our world today.1
Humans share this feature with other living organisms. Unfortunately we do eventually die.
Though we often struggle right up to our last breath, there eventually comes a day when the
functioning of our bodies and our brains which produces the miracle of consciousness and
awareness, ceases, and with it our personal consciousness appears---based on all the
available evidence---to wink out of existence.
The horror of this should not be lost on anybody. We have evolved to resist death with nearly
every fiber of our beings, and yet every one of us dies. We all fail in the end. The result of this
can be seen in practically every human culture, since the beginning of known human culture --
people have been proposing a cornucopia of alternative versions of reality to help cope with
this eternal pain. We have concocted stories for ourselves where instead of dying we go on
living forever in eternal paradise, are eventually reunited with our loved ones in the spirit world,
are continually reborn in an endless series of live, etc., etc.
All these stories about the continuation of our consciousness after the deaths of our bodies
have one thing in common: they propose a sea of conjectures for which there is absolutely no
evidence. And, in the majority of cases, they contradict one another -- if one is right, than the
vast majority of others must be wrong. In every case as we pair away these additional
conjectures, we finally come down to an understanding of consciousness that exists in tandem
with the functioning of a brain, the logical conclusion of which is that when the brain ceases to
function, our consciousness ceases to exist.
Furthermore, many of these stories of continuing consciousness have profoundly negative
impact on our world. If our world is just an illusion to prepare us for entry into a land of
immortality (or a series of births, deaths, and rebirths leading to eventual release from this
suffering called life and entry into nirvana), then we diminish the importance of our actual lives.
Indeed, this is the goal of such beliefs: by making the life we will eventually lose relatively
unimportant, a belief in the afterlife lessens the agonizing sting of death.
But if this is not the real life, if this is not the one we should worry about, how can such a
belief not help to make us react less strongly to the horror around us, the destruction of our
world, and even to enable us to participate in destructive horrors. Humanity will be much better
off when we can shed these unsubstantiated (and contradictory!) fairy tales about a
continuing consciousness, and truly embrace our lives as our only known shot at being. This is
our one chance at existence, and we would all be better off if people were trying to make the
most of it.
We don’t claim to have evidence against the existence of an afterlife. However, the tales of
continued personal existence after death seem highly unlikely to be true because: (1) they
meet all the conditions of wishful thinking as they are the prototypical notion that we want to
believe, (2) as they contradict one another, what is the likelihood that the one you were
taught is the correct one (out of the thousands that have been taught to millions of other
people), and (3) there is no evidence for any of them and thus they meet the conditions for
being considered fictions, i.e., each is one of an infinite number of possible stories with no
evidence to support any of them.
Imagine someone claims that the lights don't go out when you flip the switch -- instead the
light exists forever in an eternal “afterlight.” That certainly is possible. But what the evidence
suggests is that the light stops being generated when electricity stops running through the
circuit. We don't understand exactly how electricity running through a circuit creates light --
we don't even understand what electricity, charge, electrons or photons really are. But the
model which includes the “afterlight” includes one of an infinite number of possible unnecessary
inventions with no evidence to support them. We tend to call such invented stories fictions or
fairy tales. When we shave the “afterlight” away, we are left with a cessation of the
generation of light when the electricity stops flowing.
Similarly, when we shave the afterlife away we are left with a cessation of the generation of an
individual's consciousness when the brain stops functioning. Some may say that doesn't
account for the evidence of many people's feelings that life goes on after death.
However, we already know that people often have feelings about how the world works that do
not correspond to reality, especially when those feelings and beliefs represent strongly desired
wishes and prevent the experience of nearly intolerable pain. So the best explanation for those
feelings (in the case where they cannot actually be verified with evidence) would be to
recognize that while it’s possible they are correct, there is no evidence of their being correct.
Therefore, a belief in that truth is an unsupported belief, one among an infinite number of
possibilities, a fiction.
By denying the existence of death, by hanging on to the notion of some sort of continued
personal existence after death, we make it impossible to truly spiritually prepare for death. By
accepting the apparent reality, we can really prepare ourselves, and achieve a deeper
appreciation of every moment of our lives.
