hi everyone this just came to me, i was thinking about all of the things i've experienced while tripping. I was wondering, what new ideas have you been exposed to from acid? What new doors were opened for you because of acid? Do any of you now live differently as a result? Are there things you now believe or don't believe in? How has LSD changed your life? peace
LSD has had a most dramatic impact on my life. My experiences with it are of the high dose ego loss variety. Atheism is now an impossability for me but so to is any traditional religious definition of 'god'. I am more conflicted than ever really. I see huge potential within me but am afraid of it. This potential i identified as a 'christ conciousness'. I am not religious nor was i raised by religious parents however i have had a profound experience under LSD were i not only identified with a benevolent force but became it, this force was christ or rather christ was one of the many individuals who connected with this force and allowed it to flow through him. This force is present in all of us but fear of losing my troubled yet familiar personality inhibits me from giving in to this force. LSD also proved to me in a most terrifying way that reality is entirely a construct of our conciousness and that conciousness itself is an impenitrable mystery. 'out there' exists potentially anything, a sea of energy but what actually is this energy or 'strings'............ god?
acid gave me 100% ego death. i was a cocky bastard prior to taking it, afterwards i felt that love was really the answer to all things. also, i learned about the law of attraction and the ways that it really did work. My good buddy ty said it the best, "By taking acid, you lose your ignorance, and can finally begin to learn."
It will be a long one. It showed me how stuck i was with some ideas that really don't matter at all. Crushed my whole world as I was basing on those ideas. Showed me how everything is nothing and nothing is everything. Very confusing moment of my life cause you don't know onto what to hold on. Then I had to deal with past and better understand it, to forgive and be forgiven in order to move on. In that process I found who I really am. It showed me how the future is sending you messages and influencing now. Tought me how to recognize signs that life is giving you all the time. That you can find the answer on your question while passing two people talking on the street. It made me more aware of what is going on around me. It showed me that at one thing can be looked at different angles and the picture might not be the same but the object is. Gave me ability to understand others better. Then I started living my life completly with different look at it. Told me that death is not the end of the road. Explained to me better the process of action and reaction. The power of thought. And than it killed my mind and I was faced with terrifying truth that my mind is not my only weapon. That you don't have to use it all the time and certain situations awake strange feelings that lead you thru life and you were not aware of them. It showed and proved to me that love can conquer anything. With constant ups and downs made me build my faith even stronger. Untill the questions stopped and stayed just a beautiful perfection. And than I thought oh no, the learning stopped. But no, it showed me that it never stops and its never still, always full of happenings, never borring. From that moment I was able to be a still viewer of constant connection with everything and to even more realize how my one action is influencing everything. I might missed something it's a big list. Tried to put it the simpliest way I could.
i was still unsure whether it drops another layer of the veil or reveals the truth of reality, until a wise person on this very forum said which helped me immensely :worthy: i took LSD three times and shrooms once and have never experienced life the same way since. i took LSD long before and shrooms midway through my so-called "spiritual search," which i consider myself lucky enough to have seen for what it is. (another level of ego-boosting, necessary only until it is seen through. at that point simply seeing and loving the beauty and mystery of the ever-present, unfolding moment replaces any hankering after ideals, and allows for a life of graceful peace where all, including oneself, including all the things that are a challenge to oneself, are seen as manifest wholeness, and loved as such. all action taken in such a state of mind creates a peaceful, harmonic energy as one moves through life. this helps to balance the already present conflictive energy we see and feel around us in the world today, which is, after all, also manifest wholeness unfolding as it is in each moment) i would not say LSD was responsible for this way of being, but it certainly turned my head enough so i could see that open door, o yes, and i could walk through :love:
Christ Consciousness? This identification you made sounds strikingly similar to that made by Paramahansa Yogananda and the ascending lineage of kriya yogis up past Sri Yukteswarji to Babji lol. The Consciousness is most definitley present, permeating existance. Dont be afriad, let it consume you!
to many things to list. but i think lsd helped my previous psychologcial issues. lsd helped me be me. i have let go of alot of things that kept me from being me. i have entirly got rid of my anxiety or nervous shyness whatever. and i feel happy and free and confident without being cocky or overconfident at all. tho all thats self-perception and we all know self-perception is skewed but umm i forget., and i think alot about myself and others, and think things thro before saying or doing things, i may not have done before. this has made me a better person. it has given me a personality of my own. it probably wouldve happend with time wihtout lsd, but perhaps not. before lsd i was a blob of nothing that didnt talk, didnt socialise, couldnt be happy or have fun. couldnt even talk to my family, or look anyone in the eye even my family. people had no idea wtf was wrong with me. allllll gone. now i have heaps of friends and had gf, and hook up with chicks enough of the time. thank fuck. ridd of those psychological mindfuck.
It made me enjoy life even more and brought me back more closely to who I truly am. My believes never changed but they strengthened a bit. I also think I became a friendlier person. I did a lot of shrooms before LSD though and most life changing events already happened on high shroom doses so there wasn't much left for the lsd to change. On shrooms I got over a fear disorder I had about 2 years back and it never returned which was my most life changing experience. I had a baad fear for contageous illnesses, it got so out of hand I touched absolutely nothing public that other people I do not know can touch. After one trip (my 7th shroomtrip, actually) I suddently didn't have it anymore. I already knew I was being irrational but was too affraid to stop being so weird but after that trip I truly realised it. The fear was gone. And on LSD it got even futher away, i started loving life more, caring less about people's differences etc.
