still tripping randomly?

my wife has a few crystals and i just love holding on to them and staring into them when i am tripping. good idea, as a way to see energy fields.

we have this one that is a piece of a meteor. it has many small creators on it that seem to have no pattern when you are sober but when i was tripping the pattern was so obvious and looked a lot like some of the patterns in alex greys art work.

crystals are wonderful trip accessories.

in addition to seeing the energy fields try holding them in your hands and feeling the energy.

 

i sometimes feel like im re remembering a feeling i had when i tripped on mushies last time. its weird. and randomly every so often i smoke i get super paranoid but i think thats because im sensive to smoking if thats possible

 

sounds like you had a wonderful trip.

 

if i went to see a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist they would insist that i have mental health issues. if i went to them and complained that sometimes i hear a little voice in my head they would tell me that i am schizophrenic when really i am just in touch with my higher self, guides or angles in a way that others do not understand and can not explain so they label it an illness.

you have to remember that doctors would stop making money off of you if they cured you. it is in their best interest to keep you permanently fucking screwed. they label people with mental illness all the time and many people BUY in to this shit. it is a horrible thing what these doctors are doing to their patients. i am sure there is the rare case where a therapist does want their patent to better themselves. i am sure that when it comes to drug use and how it effects who you are a doctor is the last person you should trust.

OCD is something that you can grow out of very easily. easier if you don't consider it an illness. just look at it this way - what you have may be a gift, now you have to try to relax, maybe meditate, find ways to work with who you are in a way that is productive. when we label ourselves with an illness like OCD we tend to see it as a permanent obstacle and not something that we can work with like a gift.

the term schizophrenic really pisses me off because i know for a fact that if i told doctors everything about myself that they would say i am schizophrenic. i like to look at it in a very different way - i am a super human being with super human abilities - i can see and talk to spirit guides, i can look into the future to see what is coming for us all. a psychiatrist would say that i am hallucinating and experiencing paranoid delusions.

when a young child tells his parents that he is going to be a doctor when he grows up it is a healthy dream. when a musician on LSD realizes that he is going to be a famous rock star it is a delusion of grandeur.

i am not perfect so we can all assume that that there are a few things wrong with me. what is wrong with me is not an illness it is just who i am. i am a work in progress just like everyone else. labeling what is wrong with me will not make it any easier to fix the problem, actually i think that in most cases labeling the problem only makes it worse by making it seem overwhelming and confusing. we all have to admit that we have things about us that need some work but we should all avoid labeling these things as mental illness. it is just something we are working on. taking drugs to treat or eliminate the symptoms of these problems will only mask the problem making it difficult to work through the problem. using drugs to explore who you are like LSD, mushrooms, dmt and mdma can be very therapeutic.

 

Certainly, my personality which is obsessive by nature...it can be a good thing. I am a musician and I think my obsession with sound has helped me a great deal in that regard. But it also can be a great obstacle in my life...If there was no problem, it wouldn't be an "illness" to me. But the fact is, I lived most of my life without severe symptoms. When those began to emerge in young adulthood, my life got a hell of a lot harder to deal with.

Look, I agree that many times what "normal people" call "insane" may just be a human quality they do not understand. But try not to go COMPLETELY off the deep end there bro.

And dude...Everyone has "voices" inside of them pushing them one way, pulling them another,etc.. But when you can actually hear those voices sonically, when they say very disturbing things, when they say things in a disturbing tone, when they do this constantly...That is schizophrenia. Im not sure you understand the difference. You are a person who has used a lot of drugs and apparently is in touch with higher powers, and suggesting that most human beings are not in touch with higher powers, so you are somehow very very special. I can respect that, sure. I don't believe in a single word you're saying about the future and spirit guides. But anyway...

No one wants to label what is wrong with you okay?? the fact is that some peoples lives suck because of problems that have to do with chemicals in the brain. Medically speaking, most people agree that there is some sort of a balance of chemicals in the brain, deemed to be "normal" for human functioning. You would probably disagree with that. OKAY THEN. Don't go in for treatment. But to imply that mental illness' do not exist...Well would you go as far to say that physical illness' don't exist either. Because we are talking about essentially the same thing. If your heart can get "sick" then so can your brain. Thats logical. I hope you can understand and make this connection.

As far as the child who says he will be a doctor...well I dont know if you realize this but children are actually well, CHILDREN!! At a certain point in your life, most people think its a good idea to GROW UP into adulthood. That doesn't mean you no longer have an imagination, but it means that you choose to live in a reality dominated world, rather than in dreamland. Certainly, we all have some children like aspects left inside of us. But come on man...people grow up. Thats another fairly simple thing I hope you can understand. (see what im hearing from you is all this beyond logical stuff that you say you uderstand, but don't you think it would help to start with the very basic understandings of life and work your way up?)

Also, you're wrong about the man on LSD. They would not call that delusions of grandeur, they would call it the effects of the drugs he was taking. And thats exactly what it is. It is a MAN MADE SUBSTANCE (meaning that it does not occurr in nature) and it does some serious shit to your brain.

Anyway, I don't mean to be offensive sir. But I have had my drug problems. I've had my mental health problems. I've also experienced health, peace, and a simple life. I want to encourage people to choose the latter. In my opinion, that is the one that will help you accomplish more, have more fun and live a more fullfilled life (and I tend to believe we only have one on this earth.) All that other stuff (energy fields, spritual world etc...) well hell, maybe one day after this earthly life is all over, Ill figure out all that stuff. Maybe not. But for now Ill leave it in Gods hands and try to live the life I was intended to.

 

didnt they do a research project where they gae 1000 people lsd and 70% of them said it was the most spiritual life changing event in their whole lives?

 

i read to page 2,this is my 2 cents on the issue,alchol fucks people up waay more than LSD and i know cos im irish,lol,LSD and mushies always made my mind transparent and clear and i use them half spritually,i always see the road nd stuff like its rippling like water or some1 shook it like a carpet acid is worth doing,its an expierence that will chang you,but its like the matrix blue/red pill, given the choice i'd like in world of acid rather that be only alloud try it once but ye have the choice to stop but your brain mitent,or you could never expierence it,and the visuals for me anyway arent bad,and i had a weird childhood and have had to lie my way out of going into "mental facilities" how bad,if i told them the truth they would have me thrown away,my mum continually say i have marajuana induced pyscosis cos the irish papers were hammerin home every pot smoker will get it etc, but i can deal with my mind,while holding down a fulltime job and am very sociable,end of day,when it comes to psychiatricks,tell them what they want to hear,and even if its odvious your lying they cant do shit,just watch out but from some1 who would be considered "insane" once you can control you mind while sobre yor doing ok and expierence!you only live for X amount of years,no point in playing those years safe,then your like 50 an have a bad heart and struggle for 20 years before dying,live life!and sorry i been too busy living life to learn how to spell

 

whatshappenin23 - have you ever tried LSD?

 

no. To be honest Im scared as hell to.

 

and you should be!

 

he would've gone insane down the road anyways. pretty much doomed from the start. think of it as darwinism lol.

he is comparable to the slow animals in the back of the herd that get hunted and killed, therefore making the herd faster. its not nice but neither is life.

as jimi hendrix said after Woodstock, different strokes for different folks. do a little research on your family's history of mental problems if they even have any, before doing a psychedelic. use, don't abuse.

 

HES NOT INSANE. fucking idiots.

 

I have experienced something similar to this but not with crystals. My friend has this colourful zippo which changes its color tone every time you twist it in the light. We never found it as amusing as we did after the tripped on acid. During the trip the colors became so vivid and so much more detailed that we couldn't stop staring at the damn thing. Now its been a couple of months since the trip and all of us still see the lighter's colors in this different new way.
It's pretty cool.

 

oh yeah--i'm all about the crystals...poor 3xi--like some women blow their money for fashion, i'd spend our every last penny on weed and magic rocks if he'd let me lol

crystals have huge healing properties. i wear hematite around my neck to keep all the energy centres flowing and balanced. i love citrine (great for healing & abundance) rose quartz for love, moonstone for female issues etc etc etc. i sleep with them & plop them in my bath. sometimes 3xi gets annoyed when he rolls over on one in the bed (lol) so now i keep them on the nighttable or put them under the bed. powerful stuff!!!!
you can look up the healing properties of crystals online or in books--there is a TON of info out there!

 

i've never experienced visual hallucinations when i'm not tripping, however my audio hallucinations when i'm stoned can be very strange. once i thought the bathroom fan, and someone walking upstairs, were combined to produce the song 'tokyo drift.' it was pretty weird cause i was just jamming to it, and later realised that it was just a mix of ordinary noises.

 

wow you just took me back...I totally forgot about this. When I was like 14 I got really baked and it was raining. For a long ass time I thought the rain was playing like some LL cool J song or something...Then I realized it was just water drops. Fucking weird. I got arrested for the first time later that night. Thanks for the memory

 

Don't listen to this kid ^ or else you'll wind up insane like him. He doesn't even realize it. It's sad.

 

Actually yes you're right, I do have mental health problems. In my opinion most likely brought on by drug use. Thats why I commented in the first place, because I know from experience.

Continue doing hard drugs. Fuck your brain up. Its your life. Is that better?

 

^use him as motivation to actually use things like erowid.com before taking drugs. probably found hip forums after realizing it was too late.

 

From my personal experience. Insanity and schizophrenia seem to be when I feel abnormally good and other people think I should feel abnormally bad. So they start sticking negative words to me, so that I must then produce positive words to expell the negative words and in the process of doing this, the giver of the negative words will possibly get a hint on how to maintain a state of feeling abnormally good by watching me do it. Honestly, thats the only reason I think psychologists invented the entire concept of mental illness. It's all just a reflection of their own underlying issues and by sticking such words to other people that have come to grips with and integrated such "issues" into their blissful state, the 'psychologist' may figure out his own sadenned state. It honestly appears to me that becoming a psychologist is nothing but the most elaborate and concieted way to sort out one's own personal problems.

And I only stand in the back because I can tell that futile game of running in the herd isn't really gonna make any of them happy in the end.

I also stand in the back because I know those predators that stalk the slow ones in the back are just fantasies made up to scare people into senselessly running with the herd.
