Hi, Junguerites

René, a complet description, as usual.
Nothing to add, just three small comments:

The metaphor about keys is not only simbolic. As it seems, LSD
do nothing by itself, it only acts as a "key" open and locking some
"doors" in the sinapsis between neurones.

The reference about Mexico and West is interesting - it remeber
me of McLuhan( the coming of East). Though,  I would not say LSD
is Mexican (its posible that greeks take a similar pharmakos at
Eleusis - but may be that greeks were much more oriental than us:
pure europeans:-) ). And another question is that at high doses is
difficult to distinguish between LSD; Mescalin, Psilocibin, etc...

The coment on the individual and life-after-death touches the nerve
of Die Schere: it is what is about. But the problem remains: what is
the individual? can we separe what is "I" and what is "the other", or
"the colective"? what part of "us" belongs to to the kingdom of Dis
Schere that doesn´t cut?.

best regards
Roberto
