Einstein Quote

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein - (1879-1955)
Psilocybin should only be taken with a spiritual mindset in a supportive environment.

Tampa Bay newspaper discusses how psilocybin has the potential to treat PTSD

USF research may lead to PTSD treatment
Research into the growth of neurons in the brains of mice at the University of South Florida has led to an unexpected finding: Psilocybin, the psychedelic ingredient of certain mushrooms, might one day help treat post-traumatic stress disorder.

Sanchez-Ramos speculates that perhaps very low doses of psilocybin might help soldiers, for example, recover from PTSD. Consider how a loud unexpected noise such as a car backfiring might trigger an anxiety episode; might the chemical help that person un-learn the behavior?

The recent USF study:
