Paracelsus was a Swiss physician and alchemist who revolutionized medicine by introducing chemistry, emphasizing dosage in treatment, and challenging traditional medical practices.

I have a burning desire to check out this place which is apparently around the corner from me. Who knew?

Though I could not caution all I still might warn a few Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools

"The Rose of Paracelsus" by William Leonard Pickard is a unique work of psychedelic literature that delves into themes of consciousness, secrecy, and the potential for human cognitive evolution. Here are key points about the book: - **Background**: Written by William Leonard Pickard, who was convicted for manufacturing large quantities of LSD, this book was composed over four years while he was incarcerated in maximum-security federal prison. - **Content**: The narrative follows a Harvard graduate student and researcher who uncovers a global psychedelic network. This network, referred to as "the Six," consists of clandestine LSD chemists who produce the drug on a large scale, exploring different states of consciousness and aiming to advance human evolution. - **Themes**: The book explores the potential of human cognition through the lens of psychedelics. It examines the lives of individuals within this secretive organization who have developed enhanced capacities of thought, memory, and perception. - **Style**: Described as a mix of various genres including prose, fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, allegory, and poetry, it's noted for its dense, Victorian-style prose. Critics have called it a challenging yet rewarding read, suggesting readers approach it slowly to fully appreciate its depth. - **Reception**: The book has been praised for its literary quality and its exploration of psychedelic experiences. It's seen as both a psychedelic biography of Pickard himself and an experimental memoir that combines elements of spy novels and universal love stories. - **Publication**: It was published in 2015 by Société Anonyme/Sub Rosa Press, and has gained attention within circles interested in psychedelics, literature, and the cultural history of LSD. This book stands out for its unique origin story, written by hand in prison, and its attempt to articulate profound experiences through a literary medium rather than the typical scientific or autobiographical recounting of drug culture or production.

What is Afghanistan story abt? @3:00:00

I spent Halloween with that Mushroom! It’s name is Psilocybe! Psilocybe Azurescen!

Will we get the rest of the readings from the rose?

Ridiculous judge on Leonards case...

Actually i feel most people who would read the rose would find the language refreshing 😂...

He’s done many videos with other KZbinr’s since his release with many less views than this vid. You should talk with him now that he’s out.

im here from the video you turned comments off. thank you so much for making that. it rly touched my soul. i cant stop crying every time i watch it. i wish i had seen that before i went into the military and my life was changed

Sending love to Léonard. I can't translate these complicated words because my english is too basic. Thanks for helping humanity

I have come back to this video on so many occasions this is a masterpiece

I listen to this on Thc 32 plus 200ml of good Cabernet………

Only spiritual

Listen to your soul

I didn't see anyone having difficulty with the language... actually very refreshing..😂

This poor man paid a huge price & it took huge toll on his health ..

Leonard is an extraordinary man, and friend. Thank You Leonard ❤

Thanks for your contribution to humanity

Hope you collaborate with salon to continue to read the chapters.

Still tripping on this

I am reading the book now, and it is amazing and life changing.

Please continue the series

👍🏻

do you assist on methods to breakthrough?

Pickard is a true pioneer in the LSD community and the reason why some of us continue to spread this amazing medicine around the world.

yay

Thank you for posting this. I have been reading the book, and I have my dictionary handy. It is easier for me to absorb while listening to it read. Thank you William very much. I am enjoying your book immensely! I am sorry that they put you in prison, The Six and martyrs like you deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

Ol Lenny...😂🤓🇨🇽

Oh wow I'm a half hour in and am blown away

Turns out we were retarded all along.

A year ago I found A Criminal’s Guide to the Chapel Perilous[1]: Gamifying the Great Work. Thats how I found this. Spent 18hrs straight reading it, could spend a lifetime going through everything presented in it. Excellent video, thx. ❤

“As I stepped beyond the threshold, I entered another world-like Dorothy walking into Oz. A slight breeze swirled the leaves and branches and blossoms of the garden, brushing the skin on my arms. Soft air and clear light caressed my face. Just then, the music stopped. It took me a moment to realize that the music in my head was actually in my iPod and the iPod must have run out of power. I took out the ear buds and a far more fantastic music flooded in, leaves rustling, birds chirping, insects buzzing, the distant shoosh of tires on the road invisible behind the trees. I sat at the wrought-iron table and put my feet up. The crystalline light astonished me. The air, neither hot nor cold, was invigoratingly dry. I felt energy radiating from my body into the air, mingling with the radiations emanating from all the life surrounding me. I scanned the back yard. The ornamental grasses had begun to shoot out golden tufts; the crepe myrtle, hydrangea, stone crop, petunias and geraniums all had covered themselves in blossoms. Figs grew large and heavy on the fig tree, which exploded tropically in one corner of the yard, and fat red tomatoes swelled on the still leafing vines in another. Tendrils of Virginia creeper and wild grape dripped from the pines across the back fence, persimmons hung from the persimmon tree like Christmas ornaments. I had seen all this the previous morning, and many other mornings before that. But now I had stepped into a page from an illuminated fairy tale. Just as that thought entered my mind, three large yellow butterflies appeared, flitting in spirals around me. I laughed aloud: I was in Oz after all🌄… …I can’t think of any other way to put this but to say the sky opened, and grace poured down all around me. Light itself had transformed into a palpable substance, spilling down as if from a fountain. But it was more than light. It was blessings of every kind, goodness incarnate, flowing inexhaustible and immutable from above. I didn’t say to myself, “What is this?” I didn’t guess. I knew, I saw, I was in the presence of God. This wasn’t a God with whom I could have a conversation, at least not two-way. I think I said, or shouted, “Ok, I am DEFINITELY not an atheist,” but God was mute, or rather, I understood, or perceived, that the only response God would ever make was the boundless bounty of beauty cascading over me. After the shock and awe, my first thought was that this gift absurdly overmatched anything I could possibly have deserved. I thought, and said aloud, “Why me?” Instantly, that seemed too pleased with myself. I could just look at this phenomenon that confronted me, this Niagara Falls of beauty pouring down, and know that I hadn’t been “chosen.” I was no one special. This was just what God was, a permanent condition that somehow had remained invisible to me until this moment..” reset.me/story/tried-psychedelic-mushrooms-35-years-saw-light/🌈 🍂🌄🍄🌄🍂

To all those who are causing suffering in this world, directly or indirectly: Heed your dreams at night, those nightmares that you most assuredly are having are imploring you to change -before it’s too late… The quality of our dreams is both a reflection of our thoughts and actions as well as a general foreshadowing of the fate of our souls in the next life...A nightly, temporary karma that beckons us to change - for the good - so as to avoid a more permanent karma❤️‍🔥 Beauty(🌷)+Complexity(🌎) =Intent(❤️) The Figure 8 Analogy: An analogy on life, death, the dream-state and the symbolism intertwined within the human experience. We human beings are not traveling in the abstract motion of a straight line towards death (for instance, the numerical straight line of say 1-89). Instead, we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the Awake state and the Dream state. When we awake from sleep we come full circle to when we fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8 )and when we go into the dream state we come full circle to when we awake from the dream state (represented by the top half of the figure 8 ). Upon death; the figure 8 of life untwines, but it’s not the body untwining from the mind that this analogy represents. It's two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind (8-0)… Because the awake state is really a state -of mind with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined, and the dream-state is also a state of mind with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states of mind untwine to form a “larger” state of mind. A state that has all the potentialities of the dream-world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, bonds, etc). This I refer to as the transitional analogy. While conceiving The Figure 8 Analogy, I realized life and death must be perceived -from one point of view- as seperate entities(the transitional analogy(8-0), but must also be perceived -from another point of view- as inseparable entities(the symbolic analogy👇), both of which are ultimately linked by the dream-state. The “Symbolic Analogy” consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the “circle of death” ( O ) abstractly overlapping the ‘circle of life’ (Earth(🌎)with the overlapping area representing the dreamstate-like the common area in a Venn Diagram-and implies that the dream state is just as much a part of life as is of death (by which explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc) for the dream-state has a foothold in the afterlife; and is based on the premise that “while our body sleeps our dream state symbolically represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest.” In other words, while we are lying down and sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead -to a place like our dream-state...A state "of mind” with our body's physical form+Earthly bonds eternally engrained and intertwined. ~8~

Love it - Can't wait to "drop by" one evening

May this cut-and-paste comment be shared at best, tolerated at worst, and, if it's censored, then it's for the unethical gov.corp.goons who know that whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech and controlling the flow of information. Once one concedes that a single world government is not necessary, then where does one logically stop at the permissibility of separate states? If Canada and the United States can be separate nations without being denounced as in a state of impermissible "anarchy", why may not the South secede from the United States? New York State from the Union? New York City from the state? Why may not Manhattan secede? Each neighborhood? Each block? Each house? Each person? - Murray Rothbard Secession indicates consent, but, government is in reality established by the few; and these few assume consent of all the rest, without any such consent being actually given. Government is self legitimized organized crime. Government is the violation of free will masquerading as the protection of it. Thinking a tiny fraction of equally corruptible men and women who claim - by "passing ledgislation" - to know more about what is best for all the rest, and believing their claims are legitimate, is a symptom of media (possibly/probably pharmaceutically) and "public school" (indoctrinated) induced mental illness. Those aware of the evil totalitarianism intent of the new world order that so many politicians advocate, but think that voting will prevent it, are not fully aware. You don't get to be in the political spotlight/a puppet without somehow, knowingly or not, first joining the "club". The good news is, that in order for this nonsense, this evil psychopathy to survive, they do need propaganda, and that's why countering propaganda is so vitally important. If you think the road to freedom is through political and legislative scribbles; you're not even free in your own mind yet. - (paraphrased) Larken Rose Voluntaryism, if realized, will likely be the skeleton key that frees us from the shackles of parasitic, tyrannical psychopaths. It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather, an irate tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams Do you think the majority would agree a system of "community guidelines" aught be made by the community and be one of voluntary association? Wouldn't that foundation alone make obsolete the unethical system of involuntary association?.. and we can build from there? To be and see the good one wants in the world, does one first become aware that happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of a single principle - some things are within one's control, and some things are not?.. That the only one you can improve is yourself, and by that you set an example which ripples out inspiration? Is it really a surprise that as the government gets bigger and bigger and bigger, everything in life becomes more and more hyper-political? When you think about the profound differences that people have, how christians and atheists sit next to each other all the time with some of the most profound differences in belief. One person believes that the person next to them is going to burn in a pit of hell forever, and the atheist believes that's delusional. But they're fine with each other. They're not going to war because it's separated from politics. Now, if there would be a vote tomorrow over whether the government is christian or atheist, those people start going to war, because it's over who controls or rules over you. It's not that we have differences, it's that differences are politicized. Buckminster Fuller also said, "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.". Changing people within this system changes nothing, because the people do not run this system, this system runs the people. We need the right systems for the right people.

Brilliant
