SWIM has been living in Israel for the last 6 months.. On Christmas, SWIM was privileged enough to go to Bethlehem in the West Bank.. Being Jewish, it was very dangerous for SWIM, SWIM had to make sure he only spoke english..NO HEBREW.. Swim had to hide his Passport His last name is a jewish name... but SWim felt that it was necissary to experience this..
SWIM also felt it necissary to eat half a hit of LSD Before entering the church of Nativity.. Swim knew where the dose was from but had no prior experience with the potency.. IT was POTENT...
AS SWIM wandered around the church of nativity..where jesus was suposedly born.. swim started to not give a fuck... not trying to hide the fact that swim was tripping face..swim used the 4 friends he was with as cover.. swim kinda just made sure he was standing in the middle of them as to not be destracted and start talking to people.. see the thing is... none of those people understood...they never can understand..
The church was insane!!!! SO much gold!!!! so many mosaics..it was truly breathtaking..litterally swim had chest constriction.. Everything started turning into a joke... swim wanted to tell all these people that they are worshiping statues and rich's.. swim wanted to tell them that religion is a waste of emotion.. Then it started turning crazy.. swim went into a tomb where there is a rock surrounded by a silver star...everyone was waiting in line to go into this room and kiss this rock.. swim found this very baffling had to see what this was all about..as swim was waiting in line...grown men and women started pushing and shoving like little children..the person next to swim accually pushed him off the step.. animals... i was laughing so hard and everyone was starring at me like i was a sinner.. thus making me look as many of them in the eyes as i can and send them a message, swims message... swim finnally got into the room with the rock... when asked if swim would like to kiss the rock.. swim replied.. " no thanks.. but sweet rock" and walked out of the room...people started getting a little offended but no one said a ward to swim.. swim sensing this realizing he forgot he was in the middle of the west bank under palestinian authority.. It was time to take it easy... Great timing too because mass had just started.. So swim settled into a chair and watched about 15 minutes of mass before getting fed up and anxious...swim explored the church for an hour of so... then swim was interviewed by a reporter from the palestinian assosicative press.. Swim spoke of unity... we are all human beings there should be a sense of unity within our species... swim spoke of many other things...
the rest of the tripp was spent walking around bethlehem... then getting lost ... eventually we found our way back to the military checkpoint and swim took a sheroot(special taxi) back to jerusalem. Took a bus from jerusalem to tel-aviv to see some friends..still tripping a bit swim met up with my friends and took a bong rip of tobacco and hash... it hit swim like a ton of bricks..... swim started to freak out in a bad way..got really nervous, uncomfortable with the people around me.. swim closed his eyes and just settled into the high.... the rest of the night was spent with good friends..smoking great hash.. realizing that was a once in a lifetime experience..
