How to be a true psychonaut.

I'd sat through enough 'health' classes to be intrigued, & then I took a hiatus from age 17 to 25: I basically spent those years you speak of stone-cold sober & it was right for me then.

 

...a LOT of peeps complain over it's effects, though pour moi The Mars Volta is the perfect environs built out of chaos...I have said it before, too, 2C-I (well, 2C-x's) make sweat nice n' stinkeroo.

 

Well, PB hit the nail on the head with his post explaining his experience (basically).

Everyone is different though, Im being reminded of that:window:

 

This is what psychedelics have shown me in general, since the first time that i took acid mainly. They were always showing me "something", but i couldnt quite get it.

The first Lsd trip i had i was sitting around watching tv with my best friend, having incredible visuals/ sensations and feelings, i then took a look out the window and saw the trees swaying slightly, then it felt like my vision came in through the window and went right into my person. I then said to myself that this is "life", my life, and no one elses. Iam responsible for the flesh and congnition that i own. That trip literally showed me everything that i believe about life, or at least my current understanding of the way i percieve it. It showed me subconcious realities that were unknown to me (basically like my primitive human instincts, thoughts without language connected. and, eg) images of people from a side view.. slowly aging, slowly gaining on their person (knowledge, weight in particular represented by fat production on said visions, hair growth, disease, everything human it was amazingly informative haha)... but that is only scraping the surface. i feel i should write a trip report soon as no other has been so intense or meaningful. A truely eye/mind/body opening experience and realisation of the self. After that trip i wished that everyone could have that experience of a mental cleanse, but in our society it doesn't work that way. The true minds will seek and use accordingly, that is why Iam here now writing this to share with all of you.

LSD helped bring all of my psychonautic behaviour into context, and it really felt like that trip was the ultimate peak of my experiences, bringing all of them together as one spiral of meaning showing me that the drugs don't bring us anything new, just show us ourselves, in full, and build upon what we know, separate and connect. It truly showed me the true meaning of what it is to be a person, a family member, a student or whatever the path does bring our way on this beautiful rock of organic chemistry.

 

Psychedelics have steadied my mind. When I was younger I was on anti-psychotics, and sleeping meds. I slowly got in touch with what my mind is capable of, meditation and so much more, and now simply smoke and occasionally trip. I have learned so much and am so thankful for my experience.

 

hi im zombie and i want to become an real psychonaut
ive always lived in the "twilight zone" but never took psychedelics on order to really advance my mental experience.
yesterday i drinked tea that had hallucinatory effects to it but it was an deliriant

 

OP: Brilliant. You put it perfectly. I always thought if you wanted to be a true explorer of experience you have to first abandon all fears and everything conventional. Everything that you are yet still have it in mind. It's one great trek of knowledge and discovery and it can be flustering.
