Interview with God
By Pibulus
So i went to this place called San Jose, it's a pueblo, pop. 200, on the peak of some mountains in Mexico/Oaxaca, the clouds touch the town.. the sky meets the earth, it is about 3000 metres above sea level, the pueblo's economy is based around mushrooms.
These aren't just any mushrooms however, they're sacred mushrooms, and to take them you rent your personal cabin on the edge of the mountain by yourself, basically looking into infinity.. you talk to a shaman for a while before, he tells you how to go and then you digest.

This was my first time.. i started seeing rainbows, then the clouds on the mountain joined, to create a face, it was old and wise, and it was the mountain. I began to doubt the reality of the situation but my instincts told me to go with it and LISTEN. So I did..
He says, you can do this anytime, you always were, but you don't notice because you think your problems are important. You are here to learn. So I say, wow, ok im going to ask you some questions..

Beginning of Interview with God
P- Why do children get raped and burnt? why do horrible things happen.
G- Because they can.
Almost too simple..
if it can happen, it will happen.. if you can, you will, and that's it for everything. If nothing horrible happened then the universe would not be a natural chaos. It would be ordered and then there'd be no point, or fun.
P- Why have I been depressed and nervous so much?
G- Because you don't love yourself enough, and if you don't love
yourself you cant love anything. Also, because you worry about your thoughts, you think they can harm you, and that you can control them, and both those things are impossible, and hence, you're using up a lot of energy. That's why you're so tired, you think too much.
P- Ok so i shouldn't think.
G- Thinking is what god does.
P- What does that mean?
G- Humans are created in the image of god because they can think, which allows them to choose their own experience, life is a choose your own adventure book, as opposed to a normal book. For it to be choose your own adventure, you need to be able to think. The difference, the only difference, between the grass and a human, is that the grass IS and FEELS. The Human, IS, THINKS, and FEELS.
P- Please go on.
G- A blade of grass does not worry about where its going to get water from next, it allows for all things, and it get the water eventually, and if it doesn't, too bad. Its part of the whole and can never be lost. Just like you. But as long as you THINK you're lost and try to THINK of a way out, you'll continue on THINKING you're lost. Humans are fun because they can consciously evolve, they can skip ahead or go backwards, as opposed to the steady evolutionary process of plants, most animals, and matter. Its more fun that way don't you think?
P- yeah...
G- But you're part of the same system as the plants, so the same rules apply, want it or not there's still a steady evolution always, but this is more of a mass human evolution, than an individual case. The individual can skip ahead at any time, the mass continues steadily and gradually. The blade of grass is always looked after by god, because its a part of god. Like the human.
P- And how do the schrooms work?
G- The schrooms are a concentration of earth energy.
G- They carry the memory of the earth, and they possess you. That's why when you take them everything is so fresh and new, because the schrooms, the earth, is inside you for that time, seeing life through human eyes, and of course, its fascinated.
P- Ahhhh
G- And its really obvious, and people should eat some occasionally for cleansing and grounding, they grow where the sky meets the earth, there is no coincidence to this, and shamans have always known it. Divine information is easier to access when you are possessed by the earth.
P- But i can still think.
G- Exactly, the earth possess you but not completely, you still have a degree of control and that's your THINKING faculty, which is really beautiful after all. Thinking allows for greater AWE. The greater the AWE, the greater the JOY, the greater the SLACk.
P- Hmmm, and why do i forget so easily.
G- This information comes when your brain is in sleep state, its hard to recollect, we dont want to give the game away do we?
P- But can i remember?
G- If you want.
(I just want to clear up the conversation wasn't exactly like this, it was more telepathic and without so much colloquialism, but you get the point)
At this point I grabbed my notepad and feverishly begun to write everything i'd just heard.
Then came the most important of all questions..
P- But.. how does all this help me get laid?
G- When you know the truth, you don't worry about getting laid because you already have everything, and then, you'll get laid.
P- Awesome, thanks God.
G- anymore questions?
P- not really, i cant think of any, and of those that i can i already
know all the answers.
G- that's right
P- catchya
G- i'm always here, you are never alone.
P- Oh, one more thing, what am i supposed to do?
G- You just do what you think is right, and let me take care of the rest.
