Suburbs of Kyoto.
Year 2020, Buddhist calendar 2563, June 21st.
First of all, I would like to talk to the accused. He was detained in a small town away from downtown Kyoto.
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, Japan was under a state of emergency and a stay-at-home order was laid down. The visit is also a tele visit. A lawyer connected me via Skype.
What appeared on the other side of the screen was a cute young man with a smile, which was different from what he saw in court. Excuse me for making a noise, I'm sorry, he repeated, he looked like a very humble person.
It is far from the image of "unemployed with no fixed address" and "drug seller".
Occupation seems to be agriculture. He builds his own hut in his field and lives there, but for some reason his resident registration does not work.
I was going to put in a book called "The Constellation of the Spirit-Astronaut's Stray Record" that wrote about my experience in South America, but he has already downloaded the electronic version of the book to his smartphone. It was.
Even in Japan, where there are few crimes, some people are sometimes arrested for drug abuse, but if it is the first offense, not an organized crime, and if the person himself reflects on it, he will not be prosecuted.
So I was surprised to hear that an individual was charged with a drug case. Moreover, he has been detained for three months and has been repeatedly prosecuted. The drug is ayahuasca tea containing DMT. Lawyers also say that this is the first trial.
He apparently misunderstood that a young female prosecutor with a sense of justice and a sense of mission had caught a new organized crime that abused the Internet to buy and sell drugs, and prosecuted him too much. He said plainly.
Whatever the reason, it is true that he was charged. Japanese judiciary is extremely precise. If charged, 99.9% will be guilty.
"I will fight to the Supreme Court!"
"Supreme Court?"
"Tea (O Chá) is not illegal. It is unconstitutional under the right to pursue happiness in Article 13 of the Constitution."
"How many decades would it take to do that? How much do you think it would cost?"
"Because I was arrested and became famous, the book of Herbal Life has been reprinted. I am writing a book of Detention Center Life in Part 2 and then a book of Trial Life in Part 3. Sell it in a trilogy and make it a bestseller. My estimate is that the royalties are 15 million yen plus or minus 2 million yen, so you can earn three trials. "
Is this a louco? I was confused.
"There were no victims or victims in the series of incidents, a psychiatrist reported from a tea party participant," It is extremely significant and interesting that suicide volunteers get rid of the suicide urge and get well. The results have come out. If this wins the innocence, we can proceed with the treatment research using Ayawasuka tea at once. "
With the above two points, I decided to fight to the end.
Fighting does not mean trying to justify or evade bad things, but to play an intellectual sport of "interpreting the law." I can clearly say that I didn't mourn for humanity, so I can say that. For the time being, I will forget about the people who have been forced to investigate and have had a terrible negative effect on their minds, and the great damage caused by the four months of detention, and I will fight for sportsmanship in a healthy manner. "
I read the record in advance. There were many incomprehensible parts of the suspect's behavior, but it was written that it was coherent and did not require psychological examination.
It may have been a problem for him to sell tea to the general public. However, then you should be sued under the Pharmaceutical Machinery Law. Isn't it a violation of human rights to file a criminal complaint under the Narcotics Control Law?
He is easygoing. "Please forgive the prosecutor. She also doesn't know what she is doing (Forgive the prosecutor, for she knows not what she do., Perdoe a promotor. Ela não sabe o que faz. [ * 1] "
Is this a bad joke (sacanagem)?
Is the young man in the PC monitor the savior trying to be crucified to atone for the sins of all mankind? Or is it just a fun criminal who just makes fun of people?
"I am invincible!"
"why?"
"I have nothing to lose."
His stupidity overlapped with the appearance of the legendary Zen six ancestor Huineng.
There were 500 disciples under Hongren Goso in Zen, China in the 7th century. Everyone thought that Yuquan Shenxi, a talented man with outstanding grades who was familiar with all the scriptures, would succeed the five ancestors.
However, when Shenxi read the poem "Kokoro Nyomei Kagami (my heart is shining like a mirror)", Goso called Shenxi into his room and argued that you had not yet realized. ..
By the way, Huineng, a young man who worked in the kitchen, could not read and write letters, but in response to Shenxi's poem, he wrote that it was "essentially unique." Upon hearing that, Goso was surprised and called Huineng into his room. Well, I heard that this living Bodhisattva was working in the kitchen.
Buddhism is a spiritual devotion, and everyone has no choice but to understand and convince themselves. Help people who are totally lost. Hongren Goso gave Huineng the teaching of relentlessness and made him the sixth ancestor [* 2].
He is invincible because he has nothing.
The accused was blessed with the love of his parents and grew up without any inconvenience. I went to a national university and studied microbial culture. It was interesting to see the cells divide under the microscope, but I couldn't talk to people well. When I talk to people for a long time, I get a headache for some reason.
Even after graduating from college, I didn't get a job at the company. The Japanese work too much from morning till night. Japanese companies have too complicated relationships.
He began aquaculture of sea urchins and other seafood on the coast. However, on March 11, 2011, a major earthquake struck Japan and the tsunami washed away his farm.
He lost everything.
He then attached a roof to the back of the light truck he was using at work and named it the "Snail." That was his house. While working part-time in a short period of time, I moved from town to town.
Apparently he is not a macho man. However, his knowledge of biology learned at university helped him. In a monetary economy, people with low incomes say they can't eat. Is that so? If you look at your feet, there are many plants and animals.
Rice cultivation began in Japan 2000 years ago, after the civil war, and 1500 years ago, a unified nation was finally formed.
From the perspective of China, the Japanese were lagging neighbors, but rather than creating a strong empire, they established a "national opposition society" [* 3] that coexists with the forest.
Prior to that, during the Neolithic period, the people of the Japanese archipelago lived a semi-settlement life like the indigenous peoples of the Amazon for more than 10,000 years. The Jomon people knew how to remove poison from acorns. I never forgot my gratitude when I killed the wild boar. I didn't have a problem to "eat".
The accused ate a plant that could be eaten. I knew what kind of plants were poisonous by looking at the animals that were eating them, and by sniffing and licking them just a little bit. It's a method called sensory test that I learned at university.
Even if you don't have money, you can live with knowledge. Knowledge about plants (sabidoria). He also obtained a hunting rifle license and shot and ate wild boars. While thinking about how the murdered animal felt, I disassembled the meat and thanked him for cooking and eating.
Eventually, the plants began to teach him knowledge (sabidoria). Through "sickness (" bebederia "), he gained wisdom (sabedoria)."
He showed me the notebook at that time through the monitor of the personal computer.
One afternoon of an early autumn day.
The roadside was overgrown with tall grass. Many small pink flowers were in bloom.
As I approached it gently, I felt that a faint singing voice was heard from each flower.
I decided to have this for dinner. It was boiled in salt water to make a soup. I added plenty of glutamic acid that I bought at a convenience store and added umami. It wasn't delicious, but I felt that I had taken something important in the plant into my body.
I finished eating. The sun went down and it was completely night.
The light of the streetlight that jumped into my eyes shook.
Pleasure ran five or six times on my spine.
Consciousness awakened. The world looks perfect. I can only say that.
This is the pleasure of finding a bug.
The world is full of bugs. If you flip the skin a little bit, you'll find a bug that's so perfectly thin.
Wander along the shores of the dam lake at night with your eyes wide open. The rubbing grass is very tickling. The call of autumn insects is played around in the brain.
I returned to the "snail" with a pleasant drowsiness and fell asleep.
With just a little thin skin, the world is in perfect shape.
I just didn't realize that I had been living with colored glasses all the time, and I just forgot that there was a perfect world in front of me as soon as I removed it. notice.
Let me explain to William James, who was awakened by nitrous oxide.
The consciousness we call rational consciousness, our normal, awake consciousness, is just one special form of consciousness that surrounds this consciousness and is extremely The conclusion is that there is a completely different form of consciousness, separated from it by a thin film. We may live our lives unaware that this form of consciousness exists. However, when the necessary stimulus is given, the consciousness in the form of such consciousness appears in a completely complete form in an instant. It is probably a well-defined type of mental state that has a place for its application and adaptation somewhere. This explanation of the entire universe, which completely ignores this unusual form of consciousness, cannot be final [* 4].
Since that experience, the mysterious chronic illness of having a headache when talking to a person has disappeared before I knew it.
Then he began to explore the psychoactive substances found in plants. This is because humans need not only physical nutrition but also soul nutrition.
As I listened, I could hear each plant singing its own song.
There is one song in one plant. What are the plants talking about?
If you have any questions, just ask Google. Even though I was wandering around, I didn't go out of Wi-Fi. Rather, I thank the civilization for providing the infrastructure to connect to the Internet wirelessly.
Searching the net, he found a blog with a mysterious name, "O Tempo do Higan --A anthropologia da consciência-".
In the jungle of the Amazon River, there is a minority called Shipibo. They say that they drink tea called ayahuasca, meet the spirits of plants, and listen to the songs of the spirits. It is said that a Japanese anthropologist went to a Shipibo village, drank tea himself, and experienced the world of spirits. I instinctively realized that this was what I was looking for.
The active ingredients of "tea" called ayahuasca are N, N-dimethyltryptamine and DMT. According to the IUPAC nomenclature, 3, 2, dimethylamino, ethyl, indole. The molecular structure was immediately reconstituted in the brain. It soon became apparent that it was serotonin, an indole alkaloid that closely resembled five, hydroxytryptamine. I studied biochemistry when I was a college student.
However, DMT is broken down by digestive enzymes when taken orally. The indigenous peoples of the Amazon are aware of this and say that they are making tea by combining a plant called Chakruna containing DMT and a plant called Ayahuasca containing Harmine. It is really well devised. He was very impressed.
Then, I thought about reproducing this Ayahuasca tea with plants that grow naturally in Japan. DMT is found in every plant. After trial and error, I came across a plant called Acacia Confusa, which has yellow flowers. The spirits of Acacia sang a deep blue color like celadon and a gentle orange color like a group.
How to procure monoamine oxidase inhibitors? I asked Google to tell me this too, and I bought a supplement called mocropemid online. Swallow this with acacia tea and you'll see the perfect world beyond the thin skin. There is sufficient reproducibility.
Friends who graduated from college and got a job at a big company or government office eventually collapsed due to overwork. Rather than being physically tired, I take too much responsibility and fall down.
Japan is very safe. Surprisingly, the probability of being killed living in Japan is only 0.3 per 100,000 population. This is an order of magnitude less than the probability of committing suicide living in Brazil, 6.1. However, the odds of living in Japan and committing suicide have now dropped to 14.3 per 100,000 population, but 20 years before he graduated from college, it was 26.7. This is about the same as the probability of being killed living in Brazil, 27.4. Which society is more dangerous to live in?
Most suicides, however, are said to have died from a disease called depression.
Depression is a national illness in modern Japan and can be fatal if not treated properly. However, the more serious the person, the narrower the field of vision. People with depression don't want to go to the doctor because they worry they are responsible. The doctor is also busy and can only listen to one patient for five minutes. Taking antidepressants like SSRIs only cures half.
I also found online that there is a religious group called Daime in Brazil that drinks Ayahuasca tea and is conducting joint research with a university hospital. The dissertation was written in English, but with the power of Google, I was able to translate it into Japanese.
Ayahuasca tea cures depression in just one day [* 5], and even if it is drunk by ordinary people, it makes friends with the spirits and makes life more enjoyable [* 6].
He started a "tea party" with his friends.
A drink of tea will reconstruct the way the world looks, rather than cure the mental illness. The colors of the world become more beautiful.
Eventually a lot of people started to gather around him. He continued to serve tea to hundreds of people.
I asked him if he was caught because he wasn't a doctor and he didn't learn shamans as a master, but he made hundreds of people drink tea in his own way.
He obediently admitted that he was young, but laughed, "But together, half the sadness and twice the fun, is the theme song for Pokémon."
He seems to have studied science at university, but not thought. He seems to be watching anime, but he hasn't read a book.
The source is not Pokemon. Schiller. "Friendship doubles joy and halves sadness" [* 7]
This way I heard.
