A friend is in Peru atm. He’s gone on a 6 day (?) ayahuasca ceremony (I think it’s 6 days?) which promises to be very intense.
I think you take the ‘medicine’ (as the maestro/shaman call it) every day or two. Each time, you dive deeper and deeper back into your greatest fears, each time cleansing physically, emotionally and spiritually and breaking through to a deeper understanding of yourself.
This morning, I’ve been getting weird sensations. It feels like a pressure or frequency change around me. I haven’t had this many similar sensation for ages so I’m thinking it might be him? When it happened, I looked up the time in Peru and it happened to be the time I’d expect him to be peaking. Right now, he should be coming down and returning to his hut to record what happened.
He’s a very experienced and knowledgeable, dude. He was initiated into the Ngombarl tribe during a ceremony on Uluru (Ayers Rock) and is incredibly knowledgeable in both political and esoteric spheres so whatever has been revealed to him will be fascinating to hear.

I got a dog
Awww… so cute 
Age? Sex? Name? Interests…?
.
Name: Kuqo
Sex: male
Age: 4 years and 9 days
Interests: I’ll just say a bit about what he’s like. Very good with everyone, especially with women. He’s hesitant to go to my male friends who come over right away, but he goes right up to my female friends and asks to be petted. He doesn’t have a problem with dogs, except for dalmatians. Hates them for some reason. Hardly ever barks. His favorite hobbies when I’m walking him include and are limited to sniffing and pissing on mailboxes. When I let him loose in a nearby park, he likes sprinting and jumping on top of things.
I trimmed his coat a couple of days ago and gave him a dog Mohawk from his head to his tail. He looks like a hyena.
I think the hyena look was a nice touch

what kind of qualifications did you need to have to apply to the PhD program? Bachelor’s in Philosophy, I’m sure. Certain courses? Did you need to have some kind of lengthy thesis paper?
Well, you need a bachelors degree, good scores on the GRE, a pretty good sample essay, and good recommendation letters.
What program? Are you in the US?
Florida :-"
With Susan Haack? I’m gonna be in St. Augustine, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Key West next week. Drinking heavily and talking about philosophy a lot. If you see me say what’s up.
I’ll be in Orlando next month for the FPAs, but right now I’m in the western part of Florida. Let me know if you’re around the Tampa area.
Ha everywhere but Tampa pretty much.
Fucking sweet, dude.
Yesterday, some cheese and wine type of stuff in st Augustine. The day before, wings and jager bombs in Orlando at 2 am sleep deprived for 36 hours and under the influence of multiple substances. Tits all in my face. Today, ft Lauderdale. Beach, booze, odd sensations physically, but still flat lined otherwise. Probably the lack of sleep. Went to two bars tonight. At the first one, I won a free drink for being the first to scream the artist the band was covering. At the second, I found cash on the floor by my feet enough to cover more than half my tab, and I was buying drinks for other people too, so that was very nice.
I swear I live a charmed life.
The vacation continues. More to come.
Also, PhD guy…ethics teacher you say? Would I be crazy if I asked to see a syllabus or at least get an idea of what you teach and how?
