I wanted to start this blog to put ideas out there and step out of the narrow confines of being a fashion brand. Behind the creative output you see manifesting through Arahant are a whole host of ideas and practices that i've been working on for a number of decades, ideas emerging out of things like meditative practices, music, art, philosophy and psychedelics. In this post I wanted to write about a 5 gram "heroic dose" mushroom ceremony (heroic being the term the psychonaut Terrence Mckenna used to describe a 5 gram mushroom dose) in which I had a number of interesting insights, one of which was to start working on this blog that you are reading now. For those who are dismissive or still on the fence about psychedelics this piece may seem esoteric, weird or simply the ramblings of an hallucinating artist. If that is you I encourage you to read on and approach the ideas with a playful mind. I could reference how psychedelics are becoming mainstream and being utilised in mental health practices in order to convince you the legitimacy of these compounds. However I would rather urge you to follow your own curiosity and not dive into something simply because of herd mentality.
