Dangers of Frequently Tripping

Depression= regret or something like that

All other are just terms created by the "big boy" to keep society on a mainstream...I mean look around, tell me that if everyone went on a trip on shrooms, acid whatever, even smoked some weed, wouldnt the world just be more Wahoooish....This is why "big boy" doesnt want any of it allowed, all of these substances makes people feel free and great and wonder about stuff...Now what kind of world would we be living in if the world was not controlled? Oh wait a free one...Freedom is word that brain washes people the way my mom uses laundry detergant to clean my clothes...These substances dont allow brain washing, it allows free thinking and realization......The time is coming where people start saying wtf to everthing



And as for tripping frequently, ill be able to let you guys know how it goes because iam going to be doing alot of it this summer i hope

 

^ my dream

 

i just wonder where the line is crossed between positive and negative. what if you just embraced the hppd? completely let it happen, allow the "negative" auras to be there. i just wonder if it could sustain itself.

as far as the driving visuals go, i don't know...

 

sometimes i wonder if we've ever even as a society been in control. maybe the realization isn't that you lose control, it's that you lose the idea that you were in control from the get-go. i think true freedom exists unconditionally, that's what makes it free.

but yeah itsallgood, i could see that. soon people are going to start questioning everything on all scales

 

We could literally create a human paradise in the words of terrence mckenna.

 

i could see it, we just gotta stop trying to control everything and i think naturally a paradise would fall into our laps. obviously it would take time. but we gotta remember there's no "point" to get to where it's finally a paradise, because even if there was, that idea of paradise wouldn't last. everythings always changing. if we could all just start to see that. then we would appreciate everything that came our way and not cling to anything.

 

The point to life should be fun/learning...thats all life is, its the ultimate ride.....And i agree *sigh* one day my felllow cat man, one day

 

Tripping too much or abusing psychedelics ends up with the individual losing touch with reality; they get lost in their own projections and can't differentiate between what is real and what they think they perceive as real.

Think of your mind, how it isn't you. Then think of it with a superhero cape on and the ability to shoot lasers out of it's eyes.

 

it depends on whether you interpret things like trails as extraneous to reality, or inherent in reality. I interpret the psychedelic experience as being inherent in reality, and it is in fact a suppressed function in the sober world. That is, we are ALL living in the trails and rainbow kittens and k-holes and ecstasy and giggles and terror, but it is suppressed by our physical chasis in order that we may continue serving our genes as survival-machines.

Did you know that your body is continuously feeling pleasure, and that pleasure is being suppressed by your brain? medical fact hombres

 

Yeah that's true, I agree with you there.

I guess what I meant is that we lose touch with the reality that we are here to be in.
It's a fun place to visit, but most people aren't ready to stay yet.

 

I have been taking lsd a lot. The only thing i can really say that has changed in my life , in a negative way, is that by eating acid you have effectively lost up to 20 hours in which you may have been doing something practical and helpful to yourself.

You may think that LSD will teach you so much and therefor by taking it you are improving yourself however when it is taken every week or more you start getting less and less out of it. By all means it is an extremely fun way to spend the day but there is more to life than fun and soul searching through psychedelics.

A world of freedom is a world of chaos. Imagine the mayhem that would be a world that isn't controlled. We need change certainly but we are not ready for freedom. Not by a long shot.

I think i should point out that psychedelics, and other drugs, have as much potential to destroy the world as they do to help. We need people to challenge what the trippers and stoners and freethinkers are saying. Just because we try to expand our minds and preach peace and love and freedom does not mean we are any closer to creating a better world than any other right wing conservative politician.

I think any change for the betterment of the world must be a collective and balanced project with influences from all different types of thinkers. Trying to please everyone is impossible.


Sorry to get so off topic.

 

I think most people who expand there minds enough do come to realize it's not about freedom or anything, but rather about balance, it's all about balance.

The problem with people who don't expand there minds though, they never get a big enough concept of whats occuring to see where the center is in order to balance themselves. They just start out somewhere, then assume that the vicinity of their immediate perception is the entirety of existence and then attempt to balance within there. But there just balancing themselves within a closed off little nook of existence, meaning, they completely missed the center of the whole of reality and are really really far from any balance at all.

 

Trippers and stoners just don't seem to affect the world at large that mutch for good or for bad. Practicing (not preaching) peace and love is a good thing though, our world needs peace desparately, and it needs love abundantly ... and freedom doesn't necessarily mean chaos, one can have freedom of mind within a self disciplined and structured daily life. I guess peoples perception of peace, love and freedom differs.


What bothers me about this whole thread is the belief that one needs to take substances (ie. LSD) to free their mind and change their perception ... and belief is a powerful thing.
Although sometimes the mind gets stuck, ... thinking and beliefs can become rigid and harmful to ones personal reality and psychadelics can help break that rigidity but as you suggest they can bring problems of their own. But i think drugs should be used as sacred medicine and not for recreation ... who wants their reality to be dependent on a substance after all?

 

Is your mind not free already?

 

i don't think you can achieve freedom. if it's truley free, it's got to already be so. how can you define freedom? everything is already free. we just throw concepts and labels on things.

 

Timothy leary tripped every week for like 35 years, and he seemed pretty sane. And albert hoffman took small doses every day i hear, and he lived to 102 and was still very intellegent at the time of his death. Just something to consider...

 

In order to do this you have to be a very grounded person, have alot of acid, and big balls

 

I've given this question a lot of thought since you wrote it. I think My mind is still attached to my senses and memories and body although I'm sure some people are able to detach psychologically. I'm not there yet. Maybe I need a mega dose or maybe it's something I can learn or maybe it's something organic and inherent in human nature. I want my mind to be free but it's still connected to "me".

I'm working on it though.

 

and hoffman took micro doses i believe. not enough to make him trip
