The mind steroid...

Is it something that is sitting in front of you? Or something you chew?!

What is, "the mind steroid"?

Novels can take us to imiginary places that become real to the reader. Books can show is the power of imgination.

Ah, yes, I agree. To me the power of imagination is just one of the greater benefits of the Black Gift. :D

I've never heard of a "mind steroid." I typed it in Google and this thread is the fourth result. I guess to me a mind steroid would be something that fills you with abunch of useless facts but leaves you with no real knowledge.

I'd also go with books of all descriptions, conversation, debate, experience, many kinds of meditation and coffee as black as my soul.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the phrase, but wouldn't books be the farthest thing from a mind "steroid" considering the detrimental effects of steroids.

To me a mind steroid is something that enhances the power of the human mind; knowledge, understanding. However, to me, that which has become the human mind was artificially enhanced in aeons past by what some of us call the Gift of the Black Flame.

What is this crap about steroids being bad ? Do you people even know what steroid means ?

There are lots of steroids - steroids are a whole class of organic molecules. What do you think cholesterol is ? Do you know why cholesterol is essential ?

Steroid does not exclusively mean dianobol or some other black market anabolic.

Lots of veges contain steroids which are very good for you. Do your homework, jeezuz.

Meanwhile, back to the topic - if you mean what is the metaphorical equivalent, something 'intellibolic' as opposed to anabolic, then I would say ***** ********** ******* without a doubt. (Sorry, Rule 6).
