When I first took shrooms I lost the immature addiction to candy that I had before the experience. I have no idea why, I think it was because that night was a really self critisizing trip, It was a sorta bad trip because I was tripping with my friends on the side of her house and they went inside to get soda or something and her grandmother had woken up and and she gave them both horrable trips because she freaked them out, so it was a bad situation to trip in. But ive really become a little crazier since my experiences. How has tripping and shit changed you?
acid completely changed my life forever...other than powerful realizations iv made while tripping, acid was a huge catalyst in turning me on to my spiritual path.
Before I took acid I always believed that life and everything was all in my head and no one really existed except me, but when I was on it I realised that people really exist and it is just hard to connect. I realised people rarely really truly connect with eachother. We SHOULD connect a lot more. People always have masks on their faces (their superficialities) which limit them from showing their true emotions because they are afraid that others would judge them <--- we need to stop judging. I learned the world would be perfect if everyone just tried to understand eachother and didn't judge eachother. That way, we could show our true emotions and feelings without having to worry that other people will judge us. I learned to put myself in other ppl's shoes before I judge them. I learned the most important thing we can do is connect with people and show that we care about them and that we understand...When I was on acid so many people were looking at me and talking to me as if everything I was saying was just artificial because of the LSD. THey had no idea that it just intensifies already existing thoughts and ways of thinking that we aren't as in touch with. So many people wouldn't allow themselves to connect with me because they just weren't open minded to it at all. I could connect with a few people (they had done LSD before) and they understood me. Anyways, in the long term, I am more accepting of people, even if I disagree with things they do, because I know they just don't understand and that it really isn't their fault. I also care more about other people and am more willing to sacrifice things so that they can be happier.
you start to realize the each person is completely different then what they appear to be in the physical.. that its all just a coverup.. their egos (and ours) are in control, and that if they arent experienced they have no way of really knowing themselves
I think it makes you much clearer and more focused. It also seems to leap your thinking forward. I felt like I matured many years... Just a few thoughts from a noob...
my friend and i wrote some stuff while on acid... it's mostly babble but what else would you expect everything pasted here is unchanged from the original papers, spelling and whatnot (btw our dose was 2 tabs each, which we are guessing was around 100-200 ug in total... and also a small j of resin paper) my friend's pages: Page 1: There is no words.... Describing these fucked up thing. I forgot what I was writing about. Ma Hand is getting skeleton.... LsD Is FUN.... CATCH THE SKULL, CATCH IT.... C-MaC Page 2: CME presents-Caluj Where in tha wurld is Carman Sandiago. We need out, into the world.. We will cut tha screen. Yeti, Chicks = Meed Dem 4 Master plan to live. My Pants are Brefenig. We need some buddies..... Page 3: To a special someone - Before I come outa my dream world, but really, I'd rather have you here more than anything else, be it more drugs or money. I'd Just want you to be here. I dont even know if im writing right but I dont see how i used to. I never want you to try this. Its bliss is better than life itself. Please never try this ever. Never do anything that can make you see too clearly and..... fuck, I cant even try anymore, I'd cry but there is no point... I'm already dead (crossed out) I'm talkiing crazy Calum..... my pages: Page 1: WE ARE SOO FUCKED (signed - Logan) Page 2: This is Logan (stick picture). Where is reality now sucka? TE ORDER IS IMPORTANT Page 3: Before I come back. Calum are a funny man. Porno would be good but forgot how to turn penis on. loage keeps changing sizex. What is going (on - added that after i realized i had forgotten to write it... lol) WE DONT KNOW. What are we doing this feels so crazy. room keeps changing sizes. ATTENTION SPAN = 0. We are seeing faces Page 4: Everything feels dreamy.... THEY WANTED TO GO HOME BUT........... Page 5: This Shit is not 4 kids, this shit can seriously fuck you up. MY Toung hurts but I dont care.... We just stepped out of out box - being a simple human is better Page 6: PEACE MAN. everythinng feeling makes a trail the whole room is moving. the trees outside the window are doing crazy stuf. lots of trails colours patterns FUCK YOU. Attention span = 0. Everything is so interesting but very confusing. Body feels different all the time. WHAT ARE WE DOING WHAT IS GOING ON W CALUM KEEPS DOING STUFF Page 7: (weird picture of my friend's face with lots of random shapes and squiggley lines) the funny thing about these notes is that they all seemed like meaningful realizations at the time. i think that's where tim leary went wrong - he never took the time to analyze his work in the proper context (lol). oh well at least it gave us a good laugh as for it having changed me... well, now i know how fucking shitty it feels to come down from chem drugs
If you do not judge, then you will not progress. you need to judge yourself in order to learn, and you need to judge others in order to judge yourself. i think simply putting yourself in their shoes (genuinely) is all thats necessary to make the whole judging thign work, along with judging people's good points as much, or more than their bad points. like, saying something is wrong isnt going to help, but saying thigns are right are the only way you can take a direction and suceed, as a society and an individual when judging becomes active or agressive, as opposed to passive, thats when its a problem, imo ive not tried it yet but i will be as soon as i get the chance
Can be more specific about your spiritual path... The only reason I'm asking is that I would say the same thing. It was during my first trip that I felt tangible spirituality, if that makes any sense. I never doubted it (that spirituality exists) whole-heartly since then. I wonder what about cid does that? And all I kept saying was that I had many realizations... Well said!
^^^i guess my path would be considered a type of shamanism...i just try to do things that make me feel good, and balanced spiritually. from meditation, to spiritual tripping, to just putting out positive vibes where ever i roam. "I never doubted it (that spirituality exists) whole-heartly since then. I wonder what about cid does that? " good question...id say because psychedelics re-connect us with the gratification of imediate experience. which feels very spiritual.
^^^that's cool... Putting out positive vibes is very important for society as a whole. Here in NY, people walk around looking so sad and depressed. I try to have a smile on and talk about positive things... One time on the subway, there was a guy asking for change and all of sudden he goes, "I'm the one out of work begging for money, how come you all look so depressed?" I thought it was so funny and true... Did you ever relate to spirituality in terms of God? I don't mean to get religious here, and I won't try to define God, but for me, I totally felt so a presence that was kind of over us, protecting us and leading us in a good direction... Of course, I can never explain things like the tsunami or anything like that, but I felt it at the time.... what about you?
god is a difficult word to describe. i think of god as more of that universal life force energy that connects us all. not so much an actual entity or being but an energy that gives everything its form. another higher power of mine is my higher self, or my divine self...which is god, or a part of god rather, playing out one possible role, in this infinate realm of expirience we call life.
