- The Cessation Of Sin (Trip Report) -

I had missed this up until now...

Simply amazing in every way.

Thank you.

 

your report has just taken my glow into undescribable territory!
...just...wow!

 

Thank you all for the amazing compliments.

I wasn't familiar with the Hindu pantheon at all. I'd never seen the imagery of Ganesh and had never heard of any of the Hindu gods, which is why that moment was so powerful. Conceptually, I had no idea what I was looking at, but at the same time I knew exactly what it meant and exactly what it was. I can't stress enough how frightening it was. Pure terror simply from seeing something so awesomely overwhelming.
I don't actually believe I was gazing upon an actual god though, it seems much more likely that it was some sort of manifestation of an archetype from the collective consciousness of humanity.

None from LSD.

I don't know, I don't think I'm entitled to comment on free will in general or that I'm particularly articulate enough to accurately express my personal beliefs about it.
All I know is that in that moment it became very apparent to me that I was on a very strict path, and that every "choice" I had ever made had been leading up to that single moment of realization.
Upon further reflection, it seemed to me that the realization itself would have been revealed to me in that moment, regardless of whether I was on acid or not.
In short, I felt that any choice I'd ever thought I was making had merely been an illusion of indeterminism.
Perhaps free will exists, maybe I only hadn't earned it yet.

 

that was a pretty amazing trip report, I compliment on your writing skills. Do you still prefer alcohol over lsd?

btw, this makes me eager to experience my first lsd trip but I also realize that I should remain patient and maybe one day I won't have to search for acid and it will simply find me.

Good job.
