The Eight Circuits of Consciousness (3489 words)
No specific sixth circuit chemical is yet available, but strong psychedelics like mescaline (from my 1962-63 "sacred cactus," peyotl) and psilocybin (from the Mexican "magic mushroom," teonactl) open the nervous system to a mixed-media series of circuit V and circuit VI channels.
Circuit VI is preparation for the step after that, interspecies communication with advanced entities possessing electronic (post-verbal) tunnel-realities.
Specific exercises to trigger circuit VII are not to be found in yogic teaching; it usually happens, if at all, after several years of the kind of advanced rajah yoga that develops circuit VI facility.
LoT - Circuit Guides (345 words)
Charade is situated just 3 miles South-West of Clermont-Ferrand, in the heart of the Auvergne region (home to the largest volcanic gouping in Europe!), and twists up and down, winding without any discernible piece of straight, around the volcanic outcrops of the Puy de Dôme.
The circuit, like Spa, has changed over the years, and we now drive on a shortened section of track measuring 2.4 miles, down from its initial 5 mile length.
This is where the similarities end though, as whilst Spa has gradually been sterilised over the years by F1, Charade remains a very daunting circuit and not for the faint hearted.
