Psychedelics – Risks & Benefits
The poem I read out is from ‘Fragments of Life’ by Ulla Conrad.
The other video I mention is:
Follow your Star!
Deep down most of us believe in magic, because we know that sometimes – just sometimes – magic can come tumbling into our lives with a blinding flash, and suddenly there we are facing the person we’re destined to fall in love with, or being offered the job we never believed we would get, or we just find ourselves walking down that same familiar street, but this time it’s different – this time we’ve fallen in love with life: this time everything looks different, and life feels wonderful and exciting again.
Most people believe that you can’t make this kind of magic occur in your life. They say you’re either lucky or you’re not: it either happens to you or it doesn’t. But what if we could make magic happen? What if we could do things that actually made these types of experiences occur more often in our lives? And what if there was a course that taught this kind of magic?
Well, there is – it’s called LESSONS IN MAGIC and I’d love you to join me on it! Of all the courses I have created this one holds a special place in my heart. The transformations students go through are just amazing!
“This course has planted a seed in my being that is starting to change my life for the better, I cannot express in words how much of a positive feeling the course gives you. If you are serious about changing your life for the better with Magic, look no further, this is THE course you need to map it out.” Alain Giroux, Canada

“One of my strongest convictions is that we are constituted by other people: the relationships we have had in our life form the very fabric of our being. This means that our parents, friends, colleagues and teachers, and all the other people with whom we have interacted, live inside us. Others are in us, we are in others: it is like the heavens of the god Indra, where glistening spheres mirror one another, and also mirror the mirroring, and so on to infinity. This means that the music we have loved, the books that have moulded us, the landscapes, paintings, movies and architecture that have impressed us, are all part of the vital substance of our existence.”

Merlin, Sam Neill & Manannán McLir
A great quote from actor Sam Neill who played Merlin a while back:
“And I must say, if there, was a local druid church I’d probably go to it. Because it’s all about the things we really should be doing these days, that’s to say respecting the land and being good to each other.” Sam Neill
