    Hi Phyllis,

    : > Just a quick comment on the peyote trip. The way I regard the use of the
    : drug, and many other traditions and rituals that accompany religious
    : activity is that it clears the mind, of static patterns which restrict,
    : perhaps, so that the mystic experience or ,MoQ'ishly, dynamic quality
    : experience can be attained. But, mystic experience, which, personally, I'm
    : not sure exists, is only one form of DQ.

    I'm happy with that.
