5th dimension was triggered

darkO — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 19:28:09 GMT

This is what was given to me, it is up to you to decide for yourself whether or not you feel comfortable understanding and accept it, or not. THE 5TH DIMENSIONAL LEVEL CONSCIOUSNESS We are coming to a critical point in human evolution and involution, we have attained a “critical mass” in our consciousness, a threshold of understanding and awareness, that we can make huge changes and create a difference in our life, our Earth and worlds beyond. Humanity is finally moving up to a 5th dimensional level of consciousness. The more you are alienated from yourself, the easier you will be manipulated. So many of us have been manipulated into a state of obedience and confusion. In that state how is it possible to see our real selves or understand what is going on? Those hungry for power have built every wall around us in order to prevent us seeing our magnificent nature (We are deeply rooted on this planet and it exists for all - undivided. Country boundaries appear on the maps, artefacts devised by a manipulative, power-mad minority. These are devices to keep us fragmented, separated from the whole, from the collective, the Infinite ONE). All social, economic, military and religious establishments are based upon one idea: that is to take your power of consciousness away. In order to control you, they have to manipulate, and fragment your consciousness, to separate you from the divine source, to push you in the direction they wish you to go. They control you with money and your own ego. They take away your responsibility and give you the poison of greed, success and possessions, exploiting your human weaknesses, such as insecurity and a need for acceptance and recognition. If you are constantly exposed to only one version of possible reality, through repetition, then you will see yourself and the world exclusively in the way that the source of that information wants you to. When you open yourself to connecting with your true, divine essence, you will begin to put together different perceptions of possible realities and will be able to chose and change yourself for the better. But, government structures throughout the world have evolved in such a way that we are prevented from realising our full potential. Teachings from enlightened human beings have been altered and twisted beyond recognition over time by those that have externalised the truth and made it complex and difficult to access. They locate Divinity outside of us and would have us believe, like children, that if we are ‘good’, than we might reserve a place in heaven. Heaven has become a place remote from human hearts. We have been controlled, conditioned and lied to by those who perpetuate a ‘god of fear’. We have been forced to place our nature - who and what we are - in the hands of the establishment. How can we experience any innate sense of agency if we are controlled by others? The air we breathe is polluted, the food we eat is chemically and genetically poisoned, the water we drink is altered by chemical residues seriously depleting its life force. Just about every medical drug appears to weaken our immune system. We are constantly exposed to electrical, electro magnetic radiation, and micro wave frequencies. Those who raise the questions about this unprecedented genocide against human beings, and life on earth are met with ridicule and disbelief. Wars are being waged under a banner of the fight ‘for humanity’. Countries are being invaded, innocent people killed, parts of the planet are being destroyed - all justified, even glorified under the aegis of fighting against terror, oppression, unfairness and inequality. It is a little known fact that more people have been killed in the 20th Century by their own governments than by all wars combined. (Governments Kill More People than Wars, by Eric Margolis: http://reformedtheology.org/html/issue06/governments.htm). The more knowing you have the more liberated you will be. There is a wide spread belief that God requires us to respect our leaders, not because they are great, compassionate humans and great leaders but because all authority is derived, ultimately from God. From this belief, it follows that, disrespect for authority is disrespect for God. People are very afraid to contemplate God, because to inquire, you have to break free from fear. By disconnecting yourself from fear you are breaking out of the three-dimensional illusion and getting into the wavelength of love, in it’s true sense. ‘God and authority’ would not like it. In essence, as long as we can be kept and immersed in the emotion of fear, we will actually vibrationally disconnect from the highest expressions of true-self, our multidimensional nature. Political and religious leaders are very aware of this and have always manipulated and exploited the human race by holding it in a state of fear. Systems are designed to trap us in a survival mode, keeping us disorganised, busy, confused, insecure and distracted with unimportant matters while life is happening in the moment. We are subjected to an unrelenting assault upon our emotions and minds, passively engaged in a barrage of violence, sex, wars, and disasters by an indoctrinating media. More confusion in people, more benefit for the leaders. The principle here is to create a problem, offer a solution, and seduce human kind into a subjugating dynamic with authority. The future is not so far, it’s NOW and HERE. We must shift from the old hierarchical structure to a new system of self dominion, in which self-empowerment and creativity is pivotal. We must give _expression to our essential self, our authentic inner self, to facilitate the change of our reality. Only then will we be functioning as a higher, more evolved species. There are humans who remain stuck in “lower brains” activity, in the need for survival, procreation, and status. This persisting pattern of lower level activity leads to psychological pathologies, physical addictions, and obsessions with wealth, fame and power. In such humans the drive for fulfilling and actualizing higher potentials is being stifled. But that is their reality. Real, transformational power is in inner consciousness, not with outer, material forms, such as government agencies, institutions, and global corporate structures, controlled by people with no consciousness, love, or responsibility. We have to refute established authority and take charge of our personal reality. If we share our individual experience of growth and awareness with the community at large we can affect the grater whole. You are a Immortal Light We are rendered vulnerable to manipulation, because of our inherited beliefs, responses, reactions and desires coded in our DNA and passed on through generations. Our emerging consciousness is struggling to overcome our biological and genetic destiny/determinism. Beliefs and assumptions of reality imprinted in our DNA, inherited by our ancestors, whose DNA was manipulated by interspatial beings a long time ago (A group of scientists working at the Human Genome Project recently discovered what many wise people who have been ridiculed in the past have been saying for a long time – that the non-coding sequence, called ‘junk DNA” 97% of our DNA that is not being used is actually a genetic code of an unknown extraterrestrial form). In that struggle, it becomes difficult and almost impossible to see what little truth about our authentic nature is left in us. Beliefs create reality and God exists only in the heads of those who believe in it. Post-modern science has proven that the outcome of scientific experiment largely depends on the belief of the scientist who is conducting the experiment. Personified gods are fictions, an invention of priests, the purpose of which is to make and keep you afraid and guilty to control and enslave you. All religions depend on your active participation through your negative emotions of fear, guilt, shame and animal instincts for survival. God is none of that. All is simply Existence. Existence is Light, Love for All, the self-manifested Infinite Consciousness - the Prime Creator, The Infinite Universe. The connection with this god is an internal connection with your own source, not a connection with an external authority and manipulative ancient stories. It is a connection with the vibration of unconditional love, the ultimate consciousness, All That Is and Always Will Be, The Ultimate Truth. The Ultimate Truth is very simple. You are a Immortal Light, capable of achieving Divine Infinite Consciousness. You are the Creator of the Universe - You are Divine – God - Light. Yes, the plants of truth and knowledge on Earth might have been destroyed, but nobody and nothing can destroy all the seeds waiting to grow, flourish and mature. The seeds are being watered all over the world and are coming out of the ground with truth and its beautiful message of love, compassion, gratitude and wisdom. According to the scientist Rupert Sheldrake, in all of life, in everything, there exist a series of interconnected, morphogenetic fields. The morphogenetic field is a pattern-related resonance in which patterns of knowledge, structure or behavior become increasingly imprinted as a “habit”. The imprinted pattern of information is accessible to other members of that species or type. The field is connecting the consciousness and affecting the behavior of everything that belongs to the field of a particular species. Experiments have shown that when an adaptation in behavior is learned by a certain proportion of a species, the behavior is automatically adopted by the entire species, regardless of the distance between them, even by the ones who had not participated in learning the behavior. The Universe has been evolving, and is still evolving and the laws governing the Universe are so eternal and immutable that they have existed prior to any of the contents of the universe. We are the Universe, and the Universe is infinitely learning, and learning is shared.The more we individually begin to understand our responsibility and our will to change, the more it will cause the “critical mass” acceleration that will bring the change to our world for the better. This in turn allows us to better examine our creation and bring all the energy and momentum up to speed with our true vibration frequency of our ULTIMATE SELF, to examine what we want to keep and what we want to change in our individual immediate environments in order to make the transaction into the new 5th dimensional reality. In the Infinite Universe there are no limits – there are only possibilities. We, as a spark of infinite consciousness, are a part of the Infinite Universe with all its elements and rights. We must unite with common purpose and use the power of collective consciousness to create better selves and a better world for all to share. Our power is not in unrelenting fear, but in the knowledge that is flying and releasing us from our subconscious prison. As long as we, conscious beings, intend not to dwell in ignorance, or be controlled by darkness, nothing can stop our soul journey. Everyone has free will to chose and decide whether to cling to inertia, remain afraid of change, or spread wings and fly – healing wounds and errors, celebrating victory and strength. The light which passes from heart to heart illuminates our path of evolution. It is love within us and the trust in the purpose of all creation that liberates us. It is time for real revolution. The real revolution starts with the knowledge that, “I am radical change!” As we experience many different discoveries, many different realisations about reality we live in, the more we need to raise our awareness and the more explorations of other realms of consciousness within ourselves is a necessity. As we change our idea of ourselves, individually and collectively, new thoughts will change our physical reality. The more we explore and more we are open to the new vibration of our infinite consciousness, the more transitions and transmutations will become apparent in our society, scientifically, economically and socially. Our thoughts and emotions have an effect on the world moment by moment. By sending messages of fear and destruction, we are contributing to the destruction of the world and the entire Universe; emitting the vibrations of gratitude and love we are making the world more beautiful and peaceful. The new reality is going to be a reflection of our new consciousness. Human history is so ugly, with violence and wars – the epitome of madness. Looking at the past it seems hopeless. Humanity cannot grow because we never learn, nothing changes. We derive our visions for the future from the past, a past that was shameful and ugly. There are no new visions. However this gloomy and dangerous situation may be seen as an opportunity. It can lead us to discover the spark of light within us. Only consciousness can light the darkness, give hope and move the attachment to past and future. It is now time for humanity to set down the burden of history, to stop looking for salvation out there somewhere. Love, truth, god, beauty, all are already within us. This moment now is the right moment to break free from the illusions. This is the moment we must take responsibility and shine the light we carry within us. Now we must act responsibly to the light of generations unborn. It is a journey within. Meditation, right intention and our consciousnesses is the key to liberty. Consciousness means awakening, awareness, the seeing, knowing and perception of the world within, and from this comes an awareness of the space surrounding the “within.” When we change our mind, we change the world. When you learn – you grow; when you grow – you progress; when you progress – you transform. The seeds of freedom become fertile in the ground of awareness and bloom in the light of the Truth. The world you see and are deeply engaged in is what your past thoughts have created. The mind lives in the past because it lives in the knowledge, the known, understood, learned. The idea that you build your future relying and learning from the past is no longer valid. To be more aware that past and future are illusions is to understand that thus we have false experience of time. Real time is now and here. You are building what you are experiencing. To create a healthy world, you need to be healthy in mind, body and spirit. A healthy mind is at one with the heart. A healthy mind can state with courage and honesty, “I don’t know.” With that emptiness of mind (without ego-self), and with a healthy loving heart one can access real power within and change. If we truly understand the way in which the present we carry within us creates our past, and overshadows the now, then we can reconnect with the now, take procession of our power and re-create ourselves, individually and collectively. Move the shadow of the past in front of your eyes and see it dissolving into nothingness. When you are moving the past you are also moving the future as both are shadowing your awareness of the present. Past and future co-exist, obscuring the present. Our terms “past” and “future” are simply aspects of the forever, existing infinitely in the timelessness of All-Creation. If we find something we would like to change in this physical reality, we just have to change something about ourselves and we will see that change happening effortlessly, here and now. The more we explore the unknown in our inner world, the more we can see our consciousness as the key, as the essence of any change in both worlds, inner and outer. Perhaps you are thinking that change and growth incurs great suffering? Real growth entails no suffering. Suffering comes from your resistance to growth. You are afraid to realise yourself completely and you become divided. One part of you wants change and the other part of you resists. The part which resists is your ego and with the ego you are always in conflict and conflict creates suffering. It is easy to hand over responsibility to someone or something else, but the truth is you are the cause of your own suffering. You carry the truth within every cell, every micro-measure of your being. The new science of psychoneuroimmunology and the study of neuropeptides have discovered that our negative thoughts and feelings weaken our immune system and harm our personal health and well-being. We are not in control of our thoughts; our feelings flow from our thoughts; thus, we are not in control of our emotions. Our positive thoughts strengthen our immune system and affect our individual and collective health, further affecting our reality and all other realities. True change begins with the call to evolve consciously within ourselves, and then extends outwards to our relationships with others and the Universe. We have to make a commitment to ourselves, in the sense of choosing, in the sense of knowing, in the sense of ultimate completion, and determining who we are. We have to awake to the realisation and recognition that we are all aspects of ONE Infinite Consciousness. The more knowledge you have the more liberated you will be. In every atom, molecule, and cell of all beings there is a ‘seed thought’ of Infinite Universe, the Primal Will of One Consciousness. Life goes by, it begins and ends, but the soul always exists as the seed of the Primal Will from the Infinite Creator. A seed thought: “You are Immortal Light. You are Infinite Consciousness. You are Divine. You are God”. Invocation for moving up to a 5th dimensional level of consciousness. I AM ONE with the Infinite Universe, One Heart, One Breath, One Love, And ONE INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS. I invoke the Light within, the part of Supreme Source, the Infinite Light of all Life, the Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent Infinite I AM, and I AM All That Is. I AM calling all the Family of Light, all my brothers and sisters of the Infinite Consciousness in the Infinite Universe to assist me to remain in the space of Infinite Love, Infinite Compassion and Gratitude; in humbleness within me and within ALL Humanity, every single moment which exists always now and here. I invoke my Light Family members who vibrate with this invocation, to amplify the energy, for the fulfillment of the Divine Intention. May that Light of the Infinite Truth expand beyond any boundaries, any obstacles, any dark intentions, as it travels throughout the Universe, reaching the Earth and every heart in it for the easy transition into higher planes of Infinite Consciousness. I AM intentionally taking to fulfill the Illumination of the Infinite Truth that will set me and humanity FREE Infinitely. I AM asking the Family of Light for the Help to guard and protect every pure action and directions I take, and to bless all Life I contact. I AM the Love, Wisdom and LIGHT. I AM lightening the Light in the hearts of all Humanity and by the Power of Light’s Victory, now and here, I invoke the Infinite Consciousness to come forth NOW! I make this Invocation a reality through the Power of Infinite Universe filled with Infinite Consciousness. Light is always, and I know I AM. The Sacred Geometry meditation These three Sacred Geometry symbols will enhance your awareness. Focus on each one at a time, regardless of your preference. Notice which one you are drawn to and which one (if any) doesn’t appeal to you. Notice if you have any strong feelings toward any of them and if you do, go with it, stay with that feeling. Focused on the Sacred Geometry symbol, until it tells you what it is about it that corresponds to something about you that need to be understand and changed. Instructions for Sacred Geometry meditation: 1. Hang the Sacred Geometry symbol somewhere so that its centre is at the level of your eyes 2. Sit on a chair holding your spine straight, if this is not possible find the most comfortable position 3. Breath in through the nose and out through the mouth, let the breath flow naturally 4. Look into the centre of the Sacred Geometry symbol, trying to not blink if you can; just keep your sight right in the centre, at the point and observe the whole Sacred Geometry symbol at once 5. Look at least 15-30 minutes every day; the experience will be indescribable 6. In time, after at least seven days of Sacred Geometry symbol meditation you will be able to tap into the same Sacred Geometry energy even without a Sacred Geometry symbol 7. Try not to chase any objective when doing Sacred Geometry symbol meditation, just let it gradually guide you towards the ultimate energies of the Universe 8. The Sacred Geometry symbol absorbs your complete awareness, and you can no longer tell if the Sacred Geometry symbol is within yourself or if you are within the Sacred Geometry symbol; this is the state of ONE completion. 9. Be Creative.

More on the Cosmic Trigger Event of Oct 17th: End of 20 Billion Yr Grand Cycle Ivan Rados www.ivanrados.com The time of the Cosmic Trigger begins at Oct. 17th 8 am edt, and ends 1;00 AM NEXT DAY. The peak is 5:10 pm edt. Maybe some of you felt a shift of energy this afternoon10-11-06, ( around 3pm edt) This was in preparation of the real big energy surge coming on Oct. 17th. When you feel these preliminary ones, breathe and lift your energies to hold the higher energy yet stay grounded at the same time. One of the things we did together was to chant the Hindu Bija mantra or the seed syllableSou Hu pronounced sow i.e. a female pig, and Hu pronounced who. . Maybe this will help you as you experience some of the preliminary energy surges before Oct. 17th. I believe we are going to be changed lightworkers after that date and that we will be immensely astonished. God Bless each and everyone of you, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is 'additional' supplemental information to that which Questionnairy just posted about the 'Cosmic Trigger Event' which is due to occur on 17 October 2006. Please read his post! It is suggested here the Arcturians are launching this 'opportunity' for positive transformation which is soon to occur. However, this is a two edged sword in that ... that which we think ... we will create. Many believe the nature of our intent will be very important on this day. Humanity will have the opportunity to create a better world. Everything hangs precariously in the balance at this time. We see the direction our world has taken, and it is essential that we take 'corrective action.' Can we use the power of our thoughts to create a better world? Many have spoken of the GREAT SECRET of the ages. Isn't this really what 'The Secret' is all about? LH 10/1/2006 Mission 1017 Explained! In the great game of creation you are a Wayshower. In this position you are contracted by higher intelligences to manifest constituency. Wayshowers are to integrate one million followers into the space of the fifth dimensional awareness upon the Solar Alignment of Arcturus. The Arcturian Alignment is the first major move of the Wayshowers in the game to create the new world of the Fifth Sun. At this point of time and space Ultraviolet is the most powerful cosmic energy stream of the Galaxy. The highest intelligences of this Universe through our twin universe record that an Ultraviolet beam of energy will enter this planet through the Arcturian Doorway. At this Libra 24 point in alignment with Arcturus this stream will invoke a massive increase in fifth dimensional light transmission. The planet will experience and pass through a highly charged membrane of photons which will expand, intensify and increase all thoughts, feelings and actions. Wayshowers are asked to seek to be in exact alignment and flowing with this stream in unity, harmony, balance and grounding is required to activate this increase in charge and to activate the collective hologram. The ultraviolet fluorescent blue magenta beam radiating from the galactic heart chakra of our twin universe clears the control patterns of old polarized beliefs. The high frequency energetic vibration streams out in spectral rays from the central universe's heart chakra bringing energetic new soul codes and programs as it enters the crystalline sacred geometries of the incarnated souls. In linear third dimensional time at geocentric 24 Libra gateway, the activation point, the Arcturians launch the transformation in universal realities. On the Solar Alignment with the Star Arcturus it is important for humanity to balance and clear its present world views, programs, points, morphogenetic fields and karmic agreements. Once this point passes the slow evolutionary controlled temporal spatial framework will be replaced with a new framework of intense rapid progression. The Arcturian guidance during this empowerment brings the immediate transformation to the new group of paradigms and provides inflow of innovative evolutionary resources for economic, political, social, religious, scientific and interpersonal realities. The galactic changes of this momentous manifestation of the Family of Light the Teachers of Light speak to you with a greater awareness of the coming changes. These changes will hit a crescendo through the third dimensional temporal spatial alignment of one million souls to trigger a fifth dimensional unification that will bring forth the transformation for this constituency fullness of power and creativity. This is the beginning of the flow for the next seven solar cycles. On the Arcturian Alignment the effect will be to amplify by one million times every thought and emotion of the Wayshowers. Every thought, every emotion, every intent, every will, no matter if it is good, bad, ill, positive, negative, will be amplified one million times in strength. We are moving into the Light of the Fifth Sun. The magnification of our collective will be accelerated a million times faster into manifestation. This beam of high ultraviolet light will create a new reality for the planet. The Black Alliance is unaware of this powerful beam which when it arrives will increase energies to such a high vibration so if there is misdirection the reality will shatter and disintegrate quickly into chaos. In awareness of this beam of Ultraviolet light which is being invoked by the Arcturians humanity needs to steward the energy through the power of one million Wayshowers who have focus and the ability to keep focus as this energy is included into the third dimension. Clearing blocks and linking with the one million is the crucial play of the game and upon the Arcturian Alignment the beam of violet will integrate the acceleration. Reality is a viewpoint and is dependent upon the perceiver. As a Wayshower you are one who is multi-dimensional and can see and be part of many realities. The outer or objective empirical reality of the physical body's senses is only a small part of your world. In your new reality of this Great Game of the Gold Ring, a Wayshower is one of a spiritual universe which means that which is non-physical and exists in the invisible. In this vast realm you are the player who lives within the full light spectrum. Your realm as a Wayshower is the Realm of light, the Fifth Dimension. From the Infrared to the Ultraviolet you are connected to the universe and all the stars, the Teachers of Light. Your eyes open up to the vast expanse through deeper connections within your nervous system which are the flowering of your higher chakras. The two main realities a Wayshower understands is the Individual and the Collective. The individual is yours alone and no other has the same set of core beliefs which create your world view and perceptions. In the collective reality we are one and in this shared belief system our connection is the world we live within and our society. In the collective reality we are moving to expanded awareness where the Wayshowers are connecting to the ultimate reality wherein the pure essence of self, the soul is allowing the connection to higher intelligences of the over soul and the spirit of universal cosmic consciousness. This engages the higher mind to empower the rational ego into direct manifestation of will towards physical creation. In moving through the dimensions and the densities Wayshowers are able to see the levels of creation and the layers upon layers. Densities are vibratory levels of light as it manifests. Dimensions are worlds within worlds. Wayshowers must know where they are in the game to know how to stay in alignment with the impulses of transformative energy being channeled into this system. The Teachers of Light are invoking the ceremony of ascension which is bringing forth a new paradigm for the planet. The great move of the game in the Third Dimension is occurring on a cosmic time line. The cycles of transformation align through a macrocosmic microcosmic interaction. These cycles happen through universal agreement of the Teachers of Light and the Grand Universe. The timeline of the transformation is based upon the Grand Cycle of 225 million years which is called Grand Precession. Day and Night result from the planetary spin on the axis. The Year results from the orbital motion around the Sun. The precession of the equinoxes is called the Grand Cycle of approximately 25,920 years and then the movement of the movement of this region of space around the central sun of the Milky Way Galaxy which occurs every 225 Million years and then around the Great Central Sun of the Universe which occurs every 20 Billion years. These are all spirals in their movement. In this spiral progression into future timelines there are points at which the lower densities or dimensions of existence can be compressed by beings of higher intelligences able to operate at much higher vibratory rates. They can channel in messages that allow for collective changes in linear time. All time intersects in the eternal now and from this Now there are what can be termed horizontal and vertical times. The eternal now can be thought of as a vertical plane that intersects countless past, present and future probability lines of horizontal time. A soul is in full awareness of this eternal now this soul becomes free from singular identity in time and space. They become multidimensional and can move up and down through the horizontal timelines, experiencing past, present and future probabilities at will. In the vast expanse of time and space this universe has been limited by the universal controls. We are at the completion of a grand cycle, a 20 billion year trek through space, a progression, the transition or ascension is occurring so that we are becoming one again in the ocean of spirit. The influx of light that is providing for the evolution is the reenergizing of the network which installs and reconfigures all the programs to a higher level of activation. The Arcturian Alignment will gather this energy together and bring it into form. The game is ending with the completion of the circle, the Gold Ring. We are playing the final moves and there is the necessity to achieve the completion of the great gathering of the collective. The Wayshowers are the ones who are to play and build upon the eons of time and finish the game . _http://sethd8. spaces.live. com/_ (http://sethd8. spaces.live. com/) _http://oneflynangel .com_ (http://oneflynangel .com/) ~~~Please join

Lancet calls for LSD in labs James Randerson, science correspondent Friday April 14, 2006 "Use more psychedelic drugs," is not advice you would expect from your GP, but that is the call from an influential US medical journal to researchers. An editorial in the Lancet says that the "demonisation of psychedelic drugs as a social evil" has stifled vital medical research that would lead to a better understanding of the brain and better treatments for conditions such as depression. The journal's editor Richard Horton said he was not advocating recreational drug use, but championed the benefits of researchers studying the effects of drugs such as LSD and Ecstasy by using them themselves in the lab. "The blanket ban on psychedelic drugs enforced in many countries continues to hinder safe and controlled investigation, in a medical environment, of their potential benefits," said the editorial, "...criminalisation of these agents has also led to an excessively cautious approach to further research into their therapeutic benefits." Dr Horton told Guardian Unlimited that important advances were made by researchers using psychedelic drugs on themselves, but that these studies were stifled by the post-1960s anti-drug backlash. "Our very earliest understanding of the neurochemistry of the brain came from studying LSD-like compounds. Those same researchers were also taking those drugs, not recreationally, but as experiments on themselves. This was immensely important work." "The whole taboo around recreational drug use can make the study of these drugs very difficult," he said, "We need to get a balance between these social taboos and what's best for patients." Dr Horton's comments echo those from psychiatrist Ben Sessa on the 100th birthday of Albert Hoffmann, who discovered LSD. "It is as if a whole generation of psychiatrists have had this systematically erased from their education," he told the Guardian in January. "But for the generation who trained in the 50s and 60s, this really was going to be the next big thing. Thousands of books and papers were written, but then it all went silent. My generation has never heard of it. It's almost as if there has been an active demonisation." Some anti-drug charities and politicians argue that medical research on illegal drugs should remain taboo because it risks sending a confused message to potential users. Rick Doblin of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies in Sarasota, Florida rejects this argument. "The idea that by contradicting the exaggerated propaganda you are somehow sending the wrong message is false," he said, "Kids know when they are being told something that is way exaggerated, but then they don't know what is the truth." The journal's call comes at a crucial moment, he said, because several small studies of the medicinal effects of illegal drugs are under way. "I think it is a tremendously courageous step." MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, has shown promise in treating post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety in cancer patients, while LSD and psylocibin - the active ingredient in magic mushrooms - are being investigated as treatments from cluster headaches. Sativex, a treatment for multiple sclerosis derived from cannabis, is already available in Canada.
