the timboucher experience

So… it’s wednesday. What has been going on? I don’t know. Not much, and everything, I suppose. The responses to my “job” ad have died down a lot from its initial explosiveness on Monday. I think right now, that I have something like 43 responses, and they have only been trickling in. So yeah, I’m definitely waiting till the weekend before I decide how to move forward with all this. Its just very complicated if i decide to do something with it. So many angles to cover, and I don’t want to do it all wrong.

At work, I have been doing random different crap, but spending all day listening to different radio programs. I may have mentioned this previously. Anyway, I am halfway through a six hour lecture from a guy named Richard Brooks of the Theosophical Institute. Its a lecture about the history of parapsychological research, and its really good. Anyway, they have this awesome media library of lectures and stuff. I totally recommend it. I listened to a cool one the other day about reincarnation, and have been talking with my aunt and oldest sister about it a bit. Both of them seem to be sort of into that, and have had past life regression and stuff. My aunt was also saying something about how according to our star charts, her and I have shared blood ties in past lives.

Yeah, so theosophy? What the hell is it? I still don’t quite grasp what it means, but there’s apparently a lot of cool stuff to it. So far the stuff that I have been hearing has reminded me a lot of Dane Rhudyar, who is this old astrologer from the early 1900’s who has a crap load of cool things to say, and who i originally heard about from Rob Brezny’s Free Will Astrology site. He lists him in his saints and mystics section, as I recall.

Oh, also, I got and tried out my salvia divinorum extract today. A small amount just to get my feet wet and get used to it. Wasn’t too outrageous. It just felt like I was what they call the “hypnogogic state” which is just before you fall asleep, and lots of images are kind of swirling around in your mind, and then you start dreaming. But I never started dreaming, and my body felt both articulated and relaxed at the same time. It lasted about an hour. It was cool, but nothing too far beyond what you could do ordinarily before falling asleep. I’ll keep experimenting though. I could definitely see it getting more intense once you get used to it and use more. The front of my mouth is kind of burned though, cause I didn’t dilute it before putting it under my tongue. There’s grain alcohol in it, I think its intended to make absorption through the mucous membrane of your mouth occur more rapidly.

Ok, that’s all for now. Its all muggy and crappy here. It makes me wish that it were rainy and depressing instead, like its been.
