there is a greek word psychonautics meaning sailor / navigator of the mind / soul, i think this is what captain mission certainly became, as well as being dad, ex husband, social worker, health worker, writer and all round strange eccentric nut job but i have become very fond of this term, psychonaut as a far more accurate description of one who explores the magickal realms of the mind, as opposed to magickian. magickian comes with so many connotations and preconceptions, i understand that, i guess when i use it i think of it in archetype terms but most people don't even know what archetypes are let alone understand what a magickian is. anyways, the term magickian can easily backfire, where as psychonaut has an untarnished association, plus it is generally associated with mind altering drugs which although not prerequisite in the practice of magick is actually a very useful tool. from wiki:


dr. elliot cohen of leeds metropolitan university and the uk institute of psychosomanautics defines psychonautics as "the means to study and explore consciousness (including the unconscious) and altered states of consciousness; it rests on the realisation that to study consciousness is to transform it." he associates it with a long tradition of historical cultures worldwide.


plus robert thurman is quoted as saying 'the modern tibetan masters could be called a psychonaut since they journey between the frontiers of death into the in between realms.'


so there we have a rebirth of types, a change in language is as good as a holiday they say. captain mission psychonaut not psychopath if you don't mind. 


now, onwards there is a terrible crisis in the universe, but don't panic, i am attempting to alter the status quo. my herbalist has said all organic plant medicine's have run out, all stocks depleted and there is no known time at which they will be available. however there is hydroponically grown substances.
i rejected her kind offer, i never use any hydroponically grown green goddess for fear of infiltration by artificial chemical agents that will wage war upon my neural networks and re wire them for the zombie army. 
this did come as quite a shock as my stock was running low and i never anticipated this sudden shortage. it makes me quite worried about the future of evolution when i hear things like this. i have sent out a few thought forms to assist, post haste, for the entire realm depends upon the spice flowing. grok that!
