Hi
Does anyone know or have experience in using psychedelics and practicing shadow work?
I would not like an uncontrolled immersionā€¦
And can anyone recommend some good and understandable literature on shadow work. Some easyer and broad approach, mythologyā€¦
I know a little bit, but it can eventually be used as quiz knowledge

If it was not for growing/gardening
An lifting heavy shit every day in the gym I would be a f nut case
The last test was losing my 30 yr old daughter born today survived by her younger brother that also was born today but 3 yrs younger
An to see this pop up shows me how valuable this community is to the world
Glad to be here
Gardening an lifting heavy weight is my therapy

Sorry to hear @Osogreen261 that is f*cked

Thereā€™s a lot of love & wisdom on OGā€¦some days more than others :sweat_smile:

Most of us are stoned & tired so the messages come in late & hazy but theyā€™re real.

I hope for your(& family) healing :pray:

I came across this thread and was moved by many of the stories and struggles I read. It made me wonder how any/all of you are doing? @Cannasaurusrex ā€¦ a lot of what you post hits home here as well. Yeahā€¦us too. I hope you and yours are coping as best you can. For us, itā€™s been hard to tread such waters and relate to others fully. Only those who have lost children truly ā€œget itā€.

Anywayā€¦I just wanted to bump this thread so that anyone out there who is hurting or feels the need to share might see this topic come across their page.

passing to the leftā€¦

This is one of the special threads of OG. Like our charity threads.

I can grow weed just fine now.

But life without talking to other heads/growers is a real struggle.

OP is banned for life :thinking: but I have communicated with him recently & say CONGRATULATIONS COLA ON BABY #2 (still in the oven):call_me_hand::call_me_hand:

Aloha friends

Hey brother, thanks for reaching out. I donā€™t spend much time here anymore except to check-in and see some funny memes. Two years later, I am still struggling a bit for our collective Mojo back. I donā€™t think we will ever be ā€˜the sameā€™ or ā€˜over itā€™ as ALL the well meaning clicheā€™s go. BUT, I am very lucky that I have a loving family, that continues to laugh, grow, party and cry until I die, and thatā€™s enough for any man. So yeah thanks man, I may have to convince myself sometimes, but it really helps when someone asks to get real feelings out. So grateful for some of the folks around here that I have had the pleasure of chatting with. Cheers @Stiickygreen Iā€™m still growing meds, been a bountiful year!!! Trim prison soon.

@Cannasaurusrex ā€¦ Iā€™ve found that it doesnā€™t get any easier. It just gets more familiar.

Iā€™m glad to hear your relationship is intact. So many parents donā€™t pull out of it. Itā€™s tough water, for sure. Definitely shows you who your real friends are and who were just acquaintances. Itā€™s a mirror (into the soul) few will willingly look into. From living it, I knew/know that, unlike many folks fear they might doā€¦the wound is thereā€¦always. No one ā€œbrings it upā€ or ā€œopens the doorā€ on the topic before youā€™ve already been thinking about it because those memories and that never-ending love for them is always at the forefront of all we do and every thought we have.

Trim jail is in full swing here. Growing dope and loving my wife/other son have been the only real constants in this sea of change. Sometimes itā€™s hard to give a fuck about anythingā€¦but I motor on and do what I can to stay above it all.

Anywayā€¦just wanted to reach out. Hold em tight my brotherā€¦and for that extra second or twoā€¦'cus yeahā€¦we never know when things will change.

But they will.

My brother and sister are twats. No better way to put it, just selfish twats.

My parents have left the door open for them but I doubt theyā€™ll use it.

Iā€™m a sibling and Iā€™m quite disgusted with them.

If you told me 25 years ago that Iā€™d be the good one Iā€™d have laughed in your face.

Iā€™ll settle for a grin. More authentic anyway.

Itā€™s been a weird month, weirder for you, but itā€™s quieting down.
