This is a Photo of an Ambulance Taking Away my Housemate for the Last Time... She was a Great Person and I'm Glad I Met her...

 

Ambulance Coming to Take Away My Roommate - Never to Return - gvan42

She Faded away Gradually and for the Last six months she stayed in bed all day and all night... I believe that she did not notice her own death due to severe dementia... So... It's all Good... and I Liked Meeting her son... We live in an Assisted Living Facility and They Take Care of Us... Whatever is Needed... When I First moved here I Had Difficulty walking and needed a Walker... By endless exercise My Legs grew stronger and Now I Can walk a few city blocks... and I Can Take a LYFT Car anywhere without a Care Giver Accompanying Me... They feed us Good SUGAR FREE Food. Take a Blood Sugar And a Blood Pressure Reading Every Day... and I Eat a Dozen Pills, vitamins every day... My Doctor Prescribed about six medicines... and Most Importantly... I Have the Internet to Keep me Busy... I Believe that Writing and Debating with People is Healthy... In Previous Generations, Men would work their entire life, retire and FAIL to find anything to do with their time... and die young... 

I believe that there are only three possible things that can happen after Death... #1 Nothing #2 Go To Heaven #3 Reincarnate... For those of us who Have Lived a Good Life, the Future Looks Good... I'm totally comfortable with Evil People Burning in Hell for all of Eternity... or Getting Reincarnated as a Flea... They Deserve to be Punished... Life is Pretty Simple: DO NO EVIL... 

I keep on reading articles in the newspaper that say "People are Learning How to Accept Death Comfortably by Using Psychedelics." I'm pretty Comfortable with My Own Death... I Have no Idea if That's because of Psychedelics or not. I Took LSD in 1970 for he first time and for the Last time in the 1990s... During an Anti-War Protest March in Washington DC During the Presidency of George Bush the Father... So, I Have No Memory of My Opinions about Death BEFORE Having the LSD Experience... are there any of You that have a feeling about death? I'd especially Like to Hear the opinions of people that CAN Remember What Life was Like BEFORE they took Psychedelics... or the Opinions of People that Have NEVER Taken a Trip... 

I earn my Living by Having a Man Play the Stock Market for me. He works at The Bank of America... If the Market Goes UP... WE Win! If the Market Goes Down, The Federal Government Bails us OUT... Like they did at the End of George Bush the Son's Term... a Great System... for the top 10%

I Have Noticed that People Who Had the Psychedelic Experience Turned Out to BE NICE, KIND and HAPPY. 

CORPORATE GREED FREAKS Often Missed Out on "The Sixties..." 

The CIA Project MKULTRA Concluded that LSD Had No Value as a "Weapon of War." Does it Have a Value as a "Weapon of PEACE?" In General, Populations that Took LSD Turned Out To Be LESS VIOLENT than Similar Groups... Acidheads are often interested in Art, Music, Poetry, Organic Farming, Love, Peace, Ecology... GEE, What If Everyone Was Like That? 

We are Seeing a Movement to Legalize Magic Mushrooms... What About LSD and Peyote? What IF We Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics FIRST and then Recreational Psychedelics Later. The Main Advantage to Legalization is there Would Not Be the FEAR of Getting Arrested as a Setting for Your Trip. I Have Experienced that Tripping WAY OUT IN THE WOODS has a FREEDOM aspect to it. On Occasions where My Friends and I Were the Only People for Miles Around... We were More Relaxed than Tripping in Public. 

ANOTHER Massive Advantage is that the Chemical Fabrication of LSD Would be Better Quality. Often, Illegal Chemists Make a Substandard Product OR Sell an Entirely Different Chemical (DOM) and Call it "ACID" - I Have Spoken with People that Took DOM (sometimes called STP) and their Three Day Trip was Frightening and Awful. We Would Certainly Reduce the Number of Trips to the Emergency Room with Quality Control.

and the Someone on Facebook Posted: I’ve been practicing having compassion and loving everyone...well to tell you the truth, I think it’s working. This morning while taking my morning bathroom trip, I noticed an ant on the floor struggling to carry a large crumb of what I’m assuming came from food source of some kind. My heart broke a little and I started looking around to try to find where this little ant was trying to travel to and figure out how I could help it. I then realized I am quite a large human in comparison to it and if I tried to help him/her, I would only frighten the poor thing and probably cause it to lose its food it’s struggled so hard with carrying. So I let it be and wished it well. Is this what Maharaji meant by loving everyone?? Humans are a bit trickier to get down, but if I can have compassion for a small ant, surely I can have compassion with whoever I come in contact with. Just wanted to share this little experience
💜

England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.

Brazil is a football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona’s hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.

Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.

Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
