I'm young, 15, and when L finds me I will be ready... I feel, anyways. I have strong beliefs and a philosophy of just being. I simplify it to the simplest I could to just be and to just live and be aware of the song that makes up the universe. I need some help to keep that frame of mind though. I need advice. I keep on reading about philosophy, I think about it and I try not to anymore. I've been a philosopher since 12 and I'm choosing to quit that life and would just like to be... Could you guys just give me some support on my decision. I need it. Thankyou, thankyou <3
You don't have to quit being a philosopher. We are all philosophers in one way or another, and your philosophy can always be "just being." Create your own philosophy of anti-philosophy. I highly suggest reading the book Be Here Now by Ram Dass if you haven't already. Concepts can point the way, but they are never the answer Don't worry about tripping yet... you have many decades left to get into that after your brain isn't in such a developing state
I think I need to cry. I almost cried tonight but I couldn't. I haven't cried in over 2 years any suggestions on how I could make myself cry :[ it would sure help.
hey man just remember, the mind is extremely powerful. your mind can overcome anything by keeping focused - the fact is you are still young, your body and mind is still developing, and you have plenty of time to consider what path in life you will take, regardless of LSD. (an example, i was doing alot of opiates.. and i had to stop, i couldnt get a good buzz anymore.. and its very hard to just quit opiates.. they have a huge physical and mental dependence. but i had such a good mindset, i went 9 days without doing/purchasing any oxy, and the days are still adding up.. will be 10 days tomorrow, my friends, and GF are very impressed.. and i told them, my mind can control itself, and its urges.) philosophy is fine, and there is no reason why you need to stop now, since you are interested in it. If you dont want it to be your occupation ect.. keep it as a hobby, there is no limit to what your mind can know. stayloose said it well. trust me, from the age of 15 to your 20's, your mind, point of views, will change alot. just remember, when you find yourself, you will know, and decisions such as these will be alot easier to make. also, there is no rush on LSD.. its very popular and it will probably always be around. Every LSD experience should be a journey, not a destination.. Just like Life. keep in mind that you are young, and whether or not you want to, you will go through changes, its just part of being human.
I hope your right about me Mephisto. See, my problem is existential. Everything is somewhat not real to me and I just believe in the all, I believe in 1 thing and it is everything. An ocean of energy is what it is and reality here and now seems like an illusion. I'm focusing on reality though and i'm hoping to get more friends and just do some normal things and I think I will get better.
dude you're 15, just think whatever you want.. experiment.. you only live through teenagehood once.. and then you're stuck as an informed being! (possibly informed) I think you might be ahead of yourself a little. You believe in everything but it is somewhat not real to you? What IS real?
"The highest form is no form, the highest at is no art" (bruce lee) You are young and you learn more every day, and from that you build your concept of reality. It's not a constant. There will be signifigant changes in your opinions and ideas in the very near future. Philosophy is a word to describe yourself figureing out the universe. You do need to cry. You might find though that tears are an outward expression of a powerful emotion, good or bad. Have you ever been so glad you are alive that you shed a tear? I have! A genuine love for onesself and your life is important- It reveals your capacity to love the universe around you. If there is ONE truth in this universe that you need to believe in, it is LOVE. Happyness and friendships and tears and philosophies can be built on no firmer a foundation than LOVE. Allow me to demonstrate, sister- This Love Is Commin Your Way (())
When you are 15 your emotions are typically going to rule your heart, which will rule your mind, which will rule your soul, until you begin to crawl into selfless awareness. You need love, it's true. But love also backfires when you think you understand it. If you believe in the One, then you can see everything as leaves on a tree, or pebbles in the foam, or sand on the beach, or waves in the ocean. No reason to be attached :cheers2:
Damn kid, you've got a head on your shoulders. From what you've described, if it comes from the heart, you've got nothing to worry about. Don't stress. Although grand realisations such as the ocean of energy can make a persons "real" life seem unnatural and fake, it is something you have to realise and actually laugh at. Appears to me that you are experiencing and learning things earlier and quicker than most people. This is a good thing because it means you have an open mind. Sometimes all this can get a bit much though. I've found it helps to simply smile and laugh at the absurdity of it all
You got the right mindset, take it. Some people make too big of a deal about if a person is \"ready\" or not. If you dont already smoke weed i suggest you try some first. Try doing things you normally do but while really high, you can realize a shitload about the world and it will increase your self-awareness
I gotta disagree with that. Whether someone is ready or not is not an issue. That's up to them. But telling them to just get wasted and "do the things you normally do" is pretty reckless dude. If a person is unsure of themselves I believe the last thing they want to do is go and load up on drugs. I would feel comfortable in saying that the vast majority of "bad trips" experienced are due to peoples bad mind-set...ultimately being unsure of who they are as a person. Taking drugs, especially as powerful as LSD, is taken for granted. Some people abuse it. Then we wonder why so many individuals have negative experiences (often because thier mind is not ready for it).
Thanks guys for the insights. I'm ok. Also I'm ok with drugs. I can get into a good mindset for when I'm high. I know to take all the precautions before any drug. It's all good now I think. Thanks!!
yo fellow sydneysider I hope you are getting good acid ! people being unsure of themselves is definately the root of almost all bad trips. But at the same time, there is nothing a teenager can do about their sureness in themselves.. that just comes with time. So either wait till you are older and more mature or just go for it and dont feel like you must be ready for anything... we are all as ready as eachother.. that is.. not at all! at least the first time people shouldnt stress about being prepared for their first trip. All they should know is that experienced trippers all say that going into a trip when you have issues on your mind is not going to make them go away.
yo stonerbill...not really! haha I see what you're saying hey...sometimes it's best to just relax, go for it...and let the trip sort itself. oh and rofl at Severely Stoned
I didnt mean for him to get loaded up on drugs since hes unsure of himself. I just suggested he try and get used to a higher state of mind before dropping. Who said anything about getting wasted? And how is getting high and doing things you normally do wreckless? Obviously i didnt mean anything dangerous, i meant doing whatever you like whether it be playing music sports or even school if hes up to it. You didnt smoke alot of pot did you haha
