Intent with psychedelics

What is your most common intent when using psychedelics?

 

I never have an intent. I get on the roller coaster and just see where it takes me

 

usually, if u focus on something right before tripping, then what happens will be exactly the opposite. like Kamran said, it is kind of random.

 

fixed!

 

i have insight in mind when i partake... although i used to use them as a recreational thing, i found personal insights anyway...

 

I used it because I was curious and for personal insight, but it ended up being an aid to art/music. Music had a bigger impact on me for weeks afterward.

 

i use them for a combination of recreation, sensory enhancement, and spirituality

 

GB, you forgot to add an "All of the above" selection in the poll.

 

Isn't 'most common intent' and 'all of the above' running into a contradiction.

 

i chose sensory enhancement but that is because i have been taking mostly 'candy' psychs recently.. when i eat acid my intent is almost always for spiritual growth

 

To get fucked up. Some spiritual insight . But truthfully its all irrelevant.
Whether the Steeler win or lose.. I still have to pay bills, work, shit shower and shave...... Just like taking Psychedelics.. absolutely meaningless.

 

To uncover the light, and help others do so

 

I've never taken psychedelics in a predetermined way and have never had an intent.
All of my experiences just sort of happened through no conscious planning of my own.

 

Not at all. I often use psychedelics for all the reasons or intentions mentioned, often all in the same trip.

 

Ah, well its not that i didnt forget, I see a contradiction between the two statements therefore I didn't include it.

 

Well I really can't pin my intentions with psychedelics down to just one, sorry.
Not a flaw with your poll, just I really can't single out any one selection.

 

hedonism, wearing many guises

 

Modern and Ancient.. :mickey:

 

I like taking psychedelics for recreational use..but i always aim to get some kind of spiritual growth from my trip.. or personal insight. I also found that my trips definitely boosted my creative ability! (or maybe just brought it back)

I also feel more in tune with nature and my surroundings.. it seems like most people just go about their day and never take time to notice all the wonderful things around them and finer things in life.. trees, a sun setting over the horizon, the wind, landscapes, vibes from nature, a good tune, even other people!

But sometimes when i'm tripping really hard, I just lay down and have all these crazy epiphanies and revelations running thru my mind! I remember one time when i was tripping hard on an eighth of mushrooms..all these thoughts of religion, time, the universe, life, family, being born..all started pouring through my mind and body... I didn't even ask for it!! That was the crazy part haha.

So yeah, basically i trip for recreation i guess you could say. But..i always wish to gain something from my trip. And as for spiritual growth, epiphanies, personal insight, etc..they just seem to kind of happen sometimes.

 

This is exactly where I was going with the thread, many of these things can happen sort of like as a byproduct of the trip but I don't go to a rave all night on acid or ecstasy with health being my primary concern, nor do I plan on playing the guitar on a heavy dose of dmt, I'm skeptical if that's even feasible.
