Bill Hicks: Gifts of Forgiveness and Psychedelic Experience

But I've always found religion to be fascinating. Ideas such as how people act on their beliefs. Pro-lifers murdering doctors. Pro-lifers murdering people. It's irony on a base level, but I like it. It's real basic irony, but still, you can get a hoot. It's a hoot. It's a fucking hoot. Your pro-life, it will kill your ass. That's what fundamentalism breeds, though. No irony, you see. They take the word literally, you know. Fundamentalist, yeah. Well, once again, I recommend a healthy dose of psilocybin mushrooms. Three weeks ago, two of my friends and I went to a ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas and took what Terrence McKenna calls a heroic dose, five dried grams. Let me tell you, our third eye was squeegeed quite cleanly. Wow! And I'm glad they're against the law because you know what happened when I took them I laid in a field of green grass for four hours going my God I love everything the heavens parted God looked down and rained gifts of forgiveness onto my being, healing me on every level psychically, physically, emotionally and I realized our true nature is spirit not body that we are eternal beings and God's love is unconditional and there's nothing we can ever do to change that. It is only our illusion that we are separate from God or that we are alone. In fact, the reality is we are one with God and he loves us. Now, if that isn't a hazard to this country... Do you see my point? How are we going to keep building nuclear weapons you know what i mean what's going to happen to the arms industry when we realize we're all one it's going to fuck up the economy the economy that's fake anyway which would be a real bummer you know you can see why the government's cracking down on the idea of experiencing unconditional love. It's interesting that two drugs are illegal, alcohol and cigarettes, two drugs that do absolutely nothing for you whatsoever, and drugs that grow naturally upon this planet, drugs that open your eyes up to make you realize how you're being fucked every day of your life, those drugs are against the law. Wow. Coincidence? I don't know. I'm sure their motives are pure but uh isn't that great mushrooms grow on cow turds I love that I think that's why you giggle the first hour it's growing cow turds heaven is in a cow's butt! I know where heaven is. Where? In a cow's ass! Oh my God. Lift me up out of this illusion, Lord. Heal my perception that I may know only reality and only you. Stuff like that. I took most dreams and went to Astroworld. Now I had a really bad time. You're a moron. They are sacred. Go to nature. Wants to be on the black dragon tripping. I would fucking be puking, man, about 50 yards with each hurdle of the black dragon. Possessed dragon. I just think it's interesting to see how people act on their beliefs, you know what I mean? Because your beliefs, they're just that, they're nothing, they're how you were taught and raised. That doesn't make them real. That's why I always recommend a psychedelic experience, because it does make you realize everything you learned is in fact just learned and not necessarily true.
