| Leon's Duplicate |
1960
"In seeing the famous “Acropolis”, high on
the hill some distance from us, we struck out in that direction.
It
was a puzzle to get to as there were many times we found ourselves in the
dead-end streets. After several of these we finally found the correct
one.
When we reached the top we were completely played out so we just
sat down and rested and stared at the ruins, the city of Athens
beneath us and the sea away off in the distance.
Browsing among the
ruins, the sea appeared to us as a lovely place to find a place to
eat and buy souvenirs"
While there I purchased a Goddess Sculpture. During my travels It was damaged. Here is the duplicated sculpture that my son, Leon, made when he was a teenager.
As A Side Note: I went online to find if it was a Greek Goddess, but
could not find any information. I then decided to do a quiz on
what Goddess I would be.
Here was the answer.
You
Are the Greek Goddess Demeter
You
are an Earth Mother, provider of delicious food and beautiful
children. You prefer the company of the young, but you have a decided
wanderlust, which makes being tied down lead to periods of
depression. You are conscientious, law-abiding, and spiritual.
Who
Is Demeter?: Demeter is a goddess of fertility, grain, and
agriculture. She is pictured as a mature motherly figure. Although
she is the goddess who taught mankind about agriculture, she is also
the goddess responsible for creating winter and a mystery religious
cult. She is usually accompanied by her daughter Persephone.
“LSD
was made available to the staff for experiments. A few of the staff took part in the experiments that were held. I booked a session on one of me days off. A small dose was
given under the supervision of a staff researcher. It was quite an
experience. Before the session I was to write down a question that I
wanted an answer to. While the LSD was working on me, I saw the
details of the room and the picture that hung on the wall. It was as
if the subjects in the picture came alive and danced before my eyes.
As the researcher sat in his chair, the chair squeaked with his
movements. The sound gave me a paranoid feeling as I thought he was
laughing at me. The session lasted for a few hours. When I was 'out'
of the acute effects of the drug, the researcher took me out for a
meal. He told me it was essential for me to eat as it would lessen
the after effects of the LSD. He ordered me a steak dinner and when
it arrived I took a look at the meat and saw every molecule moving on
the plate that looked like worms. It was very hard to eat it. I was
not sure if the researcher learned anything from that experiment
session, but I sure did. I learned that when you ask a question, the
answer is already there. I also learned that this drug in not one I
would take again.”
