ever think when your tripping that if you trip to much more you might know to much and live a bad life or maybe even commit suicide
I fail to see how you knowing too much would lead to you living a bad life, maybe suicide yes, but the more you know or understand, i think, the easier it is to live a good life. But if you WANT to live a bad life, I think you may find that easier too. I guess it could go either way...
no but one time when i took 2 many shrooms i felt like what shrooms taught people about the universe where forced upon people by taking this drug and that you should learn these things and hold them close but they arent ment to be learned at that point in your existence. lol i was like I KNOW TO MUCH NOW!!!!
I feel that I know to much now. It has effected me in a bad way. Sometimes I wish I didnt know/realize so I could just be happy again.
What you "know" now may change in the future. If you beleive what you know now to be irreputable fact then you haven't learned the most important thing and that is to be open minded! You know very little, you will probably gain more knowledge but you will never know enough to know too much!
Ehh I agree and disagree. You can never know too much, but certain realities can be harsh to accept, especially at a young age.
im not saying i know to much or ever get to the point but if you trip hard like 300 times you might start thinking you dont want to trip anymore cause you know to much as it is and anything more would make life bad
The most important thing that tripping teaches you is that your reality comes from yourself. This puts a lot of blame on you, no? can be quite depressing, but necessary for us hippies who otherwise wouldn't be very produtive.
Yeah, if you have your head in the Buddha-space. I've found it's hard to ignore 5 hits of Orange Sunshine, myself. But maybe that's just me.
I didn't mean something that has an actual biological effect on you, I meant getting angry over spilled milk, getting sad orver a lost lover, thinking you will never come out of a trip, etc.... I didn't mean like "O take a ten strip and will yourself not to trip." I've tripped very hard hundreds of times.... my motivation to still trip is fun, and fun is essential to a good life.
Gotcha, 2ces. That is the defining characteristic of "Hippie," I think. Being able to be in that detached space where you are aware of the bigger picture, so that you realize the things you mentioned are, indeed, trivial. I think Stephen Gaskin referred to that frame of mind as "detached amusement." Of course, he's more enlightened than I, and more advanced, but I'll bet even he gets irked and frustrated from time to time. I just finished his "Amazing Dope Tales" and was quite amazed (had to slip that in) as to how some of our experiences exhibited some "synchronicity." Hmm, interesting.
Yea, I'm still working on it. LSD helps getting there... but it's also tough to keep that amusement going at all times.. you know, without getting bored.
unfortunately, many people have been led astray by Timothy Leary. Politically speaking, Leary acheived remarkable success that could have used to further the movement, but his attempts to explain the psychedelic experience philosophically have been detrimental. Like a few others who don't know how to explain psychedelics, he tries to dismiss them at some point. I don't think he ever really got "the message". We should never consider ourselves as knowing "too much" and keep an open mind.
Leary achieved a lot of success on dumbasses. I know it's shitty to generalize, but a lot of fruit cakes followed Leary. He makes some good points, but read some of the stuff he wrote later in his life to see what happens when you drop way too much acid. I actually think the psychedelic experience offers a good insight into some aspects of tripping... some of the shit in there is like a trip play by play.
