I found out that I do enjoy drugs. Not recreationally, but in a spiritual way ... like I can really respect the power that they have over the mind and the conciousness. I think that's the problem with drugs nowadays ... people don't respect them like they should ... They really can awaken some incredible thoughts and visions. What do you guys think about this?
sometimes i think that way. i do admit that i use them for recreational use most of the time, but sometimes being on a certain drug is so amazing and spiritual, its like your in a new heaven. wouldnt wanna abuse certain drugs like shrooms and lsd, then they would lose their magic.
i agree with you completely... that's the reason why i'm taking drugs sometimes, but not too often (if you can call weed like that...). i don't know.. i don't like the idea of being high/stoned all the time. it kinda loses sense then.
Drugs are fun, but assigning them some sort of life-changing significance is kind of missing the point.
welll. thats what i used to think... when i first opened up the doors of perception with shrooms, i did them for their spiritual aspect, except weed... but then... i had maybe 2-3 good trips on shrooms.. and they were enough, i was a completely new open-minded person who ENJOYED life. BUT I kept taking more and more... thinking itll open me up more.. ive probably tripped more than 15 times in the last 6 months on shrooms... where more than half of my trips really didnt teach me anything else... ive opened the doors to salvia, sinicuichi, amanitas, and ayahusca... but i really went too far... thing is... once you open the doors of perception.. leave em like that, why would you go further??? youll just close them once again. And besides... the universe is vast, it is incomprehensible.. you can make the reality you want out of it... drugs will teach you their reality.
and yea.. i kept going and going to a point where i escaped reality... im slowing down and coming back to life a bit.. but man, escaping reality is really a bummer.. suicidal thoughts, people dont seem to exist, life goes on in your own mind... now i just wanna enjoy the life i have infront of me... and besides, the natural highs i get sometimes are amazing. and meditation is also doing me some good
I agree with you entirely. Most people I know just want to get as fucked up as possible, to the point that they don't know what's going on. What a waste of a trip, in my opinion. It is nice to completely escape sometimes, though, and get so drunk that you don't remember what problems are.
I agree, but I think it also has to do with the person. Maybe I'm just odd but I could trip every other day and enjoy it just as much as the last. I wouldn't ever do this but if I could and I had some time on my hands why not?
Drugs are a good way to open your doors of perception. But if that's the only thing you do, and you don't make any other effort to make yourself a better person, then nothing good will come out of it. I don't think there's a number of times you can take psychedelics and have them not have any more positive effect. It is infinite. It just matters what thoughts are going through your head. Open it up with art, music, nature, and maybe spirituality. Drugs are great, and I know exactly what you mean, but don't focus entirely on that. Do drugs and love them, but not so much that you can't feel enlightened without it.
humm. but the funny thing with the "doors of perception" is that... what is the right thing to perceive? we dont understand why we exist, or why there is an existance.. so how could we just simply add things up and say "yea drugs enligthen me".. what is the meaning of "enligthenment" anyways. your mind is just infinite links that try to connect with something.. you can use drugs, but you can use other things... life has no purpose... what we call enlightenment is just a switch in our subconscious...
That's what I was talking about in the post above. Went into that whole thing a year back... Kind've hard imagining how it happened now.
yea i know. i was responding to the poster above... we went through similar things i think... Cause ive really detached from reality because of drugs.. i might of developped psychological problems i dont know, i never went to check... but if your goal to take psychedelics is to enlighten your life and love it... please, do something else.
