ear plugs..

have you ever tried them while tripping?? ,, if not, then, do this you must..

..

 

Damn. That sounds like it would suck. I'll do it for science though if I remember.

And I've always been wondering, are the sounds you hear while you're tripping a creation of your intoxication or is it really 'the blood coursing through your veins in your ear?'

 

you ever glued your eyes shut while tripping? shit works wonders

 

Not ear plugs, but I have used

While listened to music, taking them on and off

 

I usually prefer wave your hands back and forth around your head to cause the sound to get to your ears in many different ways.

 

yeah i used to include those ear muff type things in my tripping bag of tricks..

sensory manipulation can do wonders

try plugging and unplugging your ears (that cartilagely bit right in front of the ear canal) with a finger rapidly. its weird when youre sober, even more so tripping. it works best when theres a lot of sound going on... people noise or music works.

 

maybe add an eyepatch and cut off circulation to one leg for better effect

 

i used to enjoy the dark quiet room when mushrooming. the less external stimuli your taking in, the more vividly you inner vision is going to fill in the sensory gaps...it gets strange. but i havent done somthing like that for quite some time.

im reminded of a poem i saw written on the wall of a bathroom in iquitos...i think it was originally written by huxley but im not sure.
it goes...

"the fragments of his mind were as the particles of water in the pitcher of aquarius, the water bearer.
the bucket is emptied through the heavens as the fragments of the boys mind were dispersed into the infinate abyss.
as the fragments expanded outwards and onwards into the cosmos, the gaps inbetween left vast space into which his conciousness allowed itself to conjure hallucinations of universal proportions, that spiralled into the expance with metaphysical vitality.
his visions were potent, he saw lions conquering, and pyramids collapsing under the weight of their capstones."

 

the blood sounded like creation.. takes a while to get used to the underwater feeling, but wow does it open up some internal awareness..

 

I haven't done earplugs, but i've listened to music with headphones. The isolated quality music was orgasmic. seriously.

i've laid in my bed before in the dark on acid, listening to the "static" of your ear. like you know when you get the high pitched ringing in your ear sometimes? In the movie Children Of Men, they say that when that happens, your losing that ability to hear that noise. So I guess i'm tuning into my deafness so to speak? Listening to that static can make a very interesting isolation too

 

hahaha shit was funny

 

not ear plugs but ear muffs


blocked the outside world and kept my ears warm at the same time

 

What did you combine sound deprivation with, and at what dose?

Were you hearing anything that sounded like a 'real-world' sound?

 

I wanted some ear plugs so bad the other day, but the thought didn't occur to me until it was too late... they will definitely be handy next time around.

 

My favorite thing to hear while tripping is glow poi tunnel winds going a milion miles an hour from every direction around you.

 

I always liked that sound as a child... Whip any rope-like or stick-like object through the air and listen to the WHOOSH! never done it tripping too much... Them green lasers in a smoke filled room create the visual stimulation but not the sound of the WHOOSH. I need some glowsticks on a string... or the end of a 2x4 lol. Better for the WHOOSH.

 

Fire whips are the shizz too, I love dancing with them.

 

Don't even teach me about that....

I had enough fun taking a strip of cotton, rolling it into a ball, and taking thread and wrapping it tightly in all directions [be sure to stab the needle through the middle of the ball about 10 times or so] then squirt that with some lighter fluid [non-pressurized is the only I dare to try it with] and light it. You can let it sit on the palm of your hand and you are not burned. Throw it back and forth, roll it around on your hands, grab it between two fingers, etc. Just keep your hand below the middle of the ball... don't touch any yellow flames. only blue. When the lighter fluid begins depleting it's easier to burn yourself when the flame is smaller so watch out. It's generally not dangerous compared to many other activites... I DARE YOU TO TRY IT.

Gasoline on a snowball works in the same way but it's more dangerous and burns you more often... also it's less re-useable... I prefer a piece of cotton with lighter fluid. TIGHT IS RIGHT.

 

pyro.

I will try ear plugs next time I spin glow or fire poi and see how it goes.

I have shot firearms while wearing earplugs on a few different psychedelics and that was really awesome.
