		<description>Hi
We all have beauty and incredible power for good inside us, to me this is god, we can touch this through meditation closeness and shared experience, K gives you a direct access to this stuff inside, it strips away the filters and puts you in direct contact with your inner self, this world needs that so badly just now, its like fast acting lsd but in some ways better, you can control your trip and explore the places that you want to...

All the best with your research, and drop me a line if you want any input...

Go there love it and bring back good stuff to share...

		<description>Ketamine changed my life.  Last night, not only was I the emerging christ caste into a body previously mine, but I had telepathic connections with all those sharing the experience.  We all shared mutual matter-transmutation - Things recreated themselves before our very eyes with only the &#8216;will&#8217; being given, and we witnessed several different &#8216;configurations&#8217; of the room we were in - multiple chair setups, multiple non-verbal communication, as well as multiple furnishing re-arrangements.

I am the one who communicates with himself.  I fear not the place of after-death, for I Await it arms-opened, willing it to configure itself around me.</description>

		<description>i think that ketamine is the worst drug ever and should have not been invented. i also think that u should put that if it is addictive and other stuff that arent good for you. u should not be saying good things bu8t things that can harm u

thank u</description>

		<description>I have used special K since the 80&#8217;s.  I was introduced to this chemical while attending Columbia University.  Much to my delight, I was able to transcend the boundaries of conciousness and enter a realm that enhanced perception.  Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t remember anything.  Thus, what a trip!</description>

		<description>I have K-Holed many times with the intention of exploration into Ketamine space. I have disembodied and been absorbed/unified with God Consciousness. One trip at a certain point the quote from the Bible &#8220;God Created The World In 7 Days&#8221; came to mind, and so I tried creating. In what seemed like fractions of a second &#8220;I&#8221; (using the term very loosely, as the ego-body is non-existant), created thousands of plants, down to the minscule details such as the color of the fibers on the plant leaves. The awesome power of that act irradicated any doubt I had with what Ketamine is actually doing and what it can connect the user to. Subsequent trips I have asked to experience pure love, see the future, understand the true nature of time... and every question is answered with mind-blowing power and clarity.

With sufficent understanding of what one is experiencing (I have several years of Buddhist training behind me), I know this to be a very powerful tool to see into the hidden nature of reality.</description>

		<description>Animal models for depression include something called &#8220;learned helplessness&#8221; where an animal is subjected to electric shock with no means of escape. They develop behavioral and chemical features of human depression as a result, but don&#8217;t talk about it much. I don&#8217;t know if they still use that to evaluate anti-depressants in animals, but it&#8217;s some model like that, not a questionnaire.

Ketamine is a dissociative agent. I&#8217;ve seen a patient having a wound debrided under its effects. The patient is conscious, but preoccupied with what&#8217;s going on in his or her mind instead of the wound. Why God shows up as part of that dissociation from one&#8217;s body or right mind is anyone&#8217;s guess. I guess ketamine opens up a space in our consciousness for us to look at instead of one&#8217;s damaged body. Maybe God doesn&#8217;t ordinarily get that much room to work with inside us and can&#8217;t pass up the chance for some people. I&#8217;m sure whatever truth there is to that is metaphorical, but what else do we have?</description>

		<description>The problem with taking a pill and seeing God (or whatever) is that you haven&#8217;t done the preparatory ground-work, so you&#8217;ll almost certainly misinterpret what you perceive.

You could place me in a Formula 1 racing car, but it wouldn&#8217;t make me a better driver.

On another note, I too wonder how researchers determine whether or not a cat is depressed.  &#8220;Are you losing interest in chasing mice? Too sad to answer? I&#8217;ll put that down as a Yes, then.&#8221;</description>

		<description>That&#8217;s a great hypothesis: is religion a practice evolved into human behaviour through biological pressure (for fighting depression) ?</description>
