has lsd changed the way you see the world?

I believe that whether you have had a good trip or a bad trip...lsd gives you a new kind of respect, love and purity towards everything around you. After my first experience (it was a bad trip) i looked at things differently; humanity, religion, values etc, it changed the way i looked at life. At one point i even regretted ever trying it, because then i felt i didn't know who i was anymore, everything i was taught by parents, religion and society proved to me to be so wrong...I got over that after some time and never had a bad trip again. Recently though, i had a self-discovery (no drugs involved) through people's energies, music, love and art. Now i feel that i know myself, i have finally accepted the change and i got rid of guilt. Sometimes as kids, without realizing it, we are brought up with fear eg "if you sin, you go to hell"..Now i reshaped everything and live with love and positivity, not fear and guilt! Someone who hasn't tried lsd and stuff is not able to understand what i mean. How many people here do? Has lsd changed your life? What have you lost? What have you gained? and is the experience worth it?

I now live free, i don't worry about hell, i accept every person, all this is against the known system and i had to choose...i chose my own path, i chose to love everyone and respect everyone. I know that if it wasn't for the lsd, i would not have looked at the world as an outsider and i would not be able to choose my path with my rules! i know a bunch of people who agree with me, and we all have one thing in common:

The positive energy we give one another, without drugs, is so real....this applies to everyone, who did you feel better around? The rich kid with straight As , who complains a lot, with pride? or the silly-looking hippies with no homes, constant smiles and lots of energy? Be honest!

I'm just stating my opinions here and would love to hear yours. It's not something most would talk about but i just want to really get to know the people on these forums, in this world, coz i respect everyone and everything....i know nothing can change my opinion, coz i would rather be the old homeless, toothless woman on lsd with a smile on my face then the old, healthy, rich woman with a frown! What do you think as a person about all this? FEEL FREE TO DISSAGREE!

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

LSD has definitely changed the way i view my life and the world i live in.

It has given me a much more positive and understanding outlook on life. before i had tried lsd i was a very pessimistic person, something would go bad and i would dwell on it for days, just replaying it over and over in my head, unable to let go of the negative energy that it was creating inside of me. nowdays tho it seems like if something happens it just kinda rolls of my shoulders, like oh that sucks, time to move on to more important things and i am always able to look at the upside to any and every situation.

Its also given me a different outlook on spirituality, where as i was raised christian i chose early on in my teenage years that i did not believe in any sort of "God" or supreme being, which in turn since all i knew was christianity i lost touch with any kind of spiritualism. after trying lsd and "finding myself" i do believe in a sort of Karma i guess, in the sense that if you surround yourself with positive energy and are a good person in general that good things are bound to come your way, kind of a what comes around goes around deal.

I wont even go into my theory about life and numbers and how everything is connected in some strange mathematical formula that our brains are unable to comprehend.
because of all this my friends and gf kinda think im a little crazy, some drugged out maniac or something but thats not at all the case, just an ordinary guy with some not so ordinary beliefs.

Peace.

 

Made me ask more questions and more if/thens/ors/ for now just any subject. Made me more logical I feel, though too much would just be abuse to my mind and composure. Changed? Not really. Deeper? Maybe. Can a drug do this for a person? I guess you have to have it in you already.

Peace

 

Not much.
all these stories about fantastic insights is one of the reasons I first tried acid. I wasn't looking for the high as much as I wanted the mind trip. maybe that explains why I wasn't satisfied with the degree of changes but I sure did get high!

some more answers for you

:love:

 

i don't see how anyone can do it and not be changed

 

You see, when you asked that now, something came to my mind. LSD changed me on numerous ways that I am aware, and even more that I am still not aware, but definitely changed. But the thing that came to my mind is that plenty of us on this and many other forums, who use drugs, not abuse them, actually feel like Jesus Christ! (Although majority are not even aware of that)

You can laugh, but let me explain. All of us, touched by that beatiful force, or at least aware of it, are trying to spread to everybody that love is the key for everything, forgive yourself and others, do not take revenge love your enemy (if somebody can be called like that at all), be one with the nature, live and let live......and so much more. When you look on this forum how many of us will try to help anyone, no matter what. Didn't Jesus (according to some books, you know witch one) preached all that? But again, like on this forum, people beeing people, it is easier to worship (or trust) somebody, then to feel them self the same force, or in our case to research a little bit if they really want something. It was realy so much easier to "belive" what Jesus was saying, then to try to understand why is he saying all those things, it was much easier to say this man is great, than to find their own way to consciousnes and feel the same thing like him. I think you all get what I am trying to say. If you don't, sory, belive me (your Jesus) that it is truth. So, having on this forums same questions all the time, we are trying to explain same thing on many different ways, so everybody can find the one he understands, and than, after all of that, somebody "crucify" you because you just tried to help. Doesn't that remind you on story from some old books writing about a man who tried to help others and than those same people crucified him. I think his name was Jesus, if I am not wrong
I am not alone here on this forum, there is plenty of you who are explaining to our new family members (LSD Rookies) same thing like me, but using your own words, and somebody will understand me, somebody will understand somebody else..... and we got small groups of people who understand each other just by the way how they put words in the sentence. Does that remind you on different religions, talking on their own way about the same thing. If you agree that this is true, than you must agree that we here belive in something much more above any religion, and all the religions are just different paths to reach it.

So, do you unerstand now why I feel like Jesus at his prime? I must say that nobody crucified me yet, and I hope nobody will, but hey, people are people, you never know!!

Does this answer you a lot, or not, how much LSD changed me?

Unlimited love for evrybody and anything and...

 

I cant remember how I saw the world before I tried
LSD so I dont know how I can compare and contrast,
considering that I was 14 when I started taking
psychedelics and the mind before that age is typically
not very well put together enough to form a strong
perception of reality.
However I was more or less an atheist until turning
18 or 19, somewhere around that age, and to this
day on the numerous LSD and mushroom trips I've gone
on, every one pushes me further into the arms of God.
This past Friday I took a decent amount of LSD and
towards the end of the trip, I started crying and I
couldnt stop! I felt God's love so strongly and the
tears wouldnt stop streaming down my face. Most
beautiful, thats for sure

 

the real meaning of "speaking in tongues" (in a spiritual, not a sexual sense, in this case!) is not falling down in epileptic-style fits, frothing at the mouth, (seemingly taken over by the "holy spirit," but more likely possessed by something with far less grace and self - er -possession).

speaking in tongues means talking to each person in terms they will understand, about whatever it is you happen to have experienced or believe. i think what j actually meant when he used the term was likely more along the lines of being able to relate to people of differing belief systems, neither alienating them nor pushing your own belief forward in an invasive or disrespectful way.

rabid christians will disagree. that's fine.

i personally do not believe j ever meant to convert anybody. he was not what we understand by "christian" anyway, he belonged to a jewish sect called the essenes. it was paul who was instrumental in starting the religion we know today - and j was already dead and gone (or risen, depending on your take on it). the history of j's life and teaching has been so twisted and corrupted it is impossible to have a coherent conversation about it.

i take the do unto others as you would be done by tenet as a fine one. it is a good rule of thumb to follow until it is seen (as LSD helped allow in my life) that there is no "other"

 

I exactly tried to say the same, there is no "other", for me there is oneness, and I tried on (to me) comic way to say that acid helped me to become one with everything, even God (I just made asociation with Jesus), and that most of us (according to majority of post) felt that and everybody is trying to explain it on its own way. And that is how always was between people, some could feel it and belive it, some who felt it, couldn't explain it and some who felt it could easily explain, but not everybody could understand what they are explaining. But two who realy belive, they recognize each other very easily. You should know that, fellow trancer, when you come to a trance party, you immidiately connect with everybody who is on the same frequence, even if you see that person for the first time in your life.

Any way, I think that key of everything is in love, so I love you all!

 

Well, I wouldn't always call it love, but it did put things in a different light. After I did it I was more motivated to sign myself up for college and get my licenses. Months later .. I'm half way done with becoming a RMA, and I have my license lol. But seriously the thoughts that cross your mind on it, its beautiful. You think clearer than before and you learn so much.

I do respect it tho, I have a new respect for things.

 

it isnt just a new respect for things it has given me a great deal of confidence and life goes on you know some things have become more predictable sotospeak but i stay going with the flow, you feel me? send me a message if you want to relate experiences. i am there for all of you critical thinkers. you all have amazing capabilities wether lsd has shown you a new path or not.

 

what a magnificent shroom

 

Lsd has changed the way I look at everything, It helps you look past all the bullshit and realize what is really important.

 

Guess that's a good way to put it. Ditto

 

great post - i really like the quote at the end

one thing i kind of disagree with that i will get to before i go into how lsd changed my life. you imply that the statement "if you sin, you will go to hell" is wrong. i understand why you might think it is wrong - i think you are trying to say that god fearing is wrong and i agree. but i think that hell and the sins we commit to get there are very real. i dont think that hell is how some religions see it. i think that hell is here on earth as well as an after life. i believe in karma and that everyone gets what they deserve in some way. i dont think that many things that some religious folk think are sins are so bad. (like getting high might be considered a sin by many) i think we all know the difference between right and wrong and when we choose something that is wrong we are destined to pay the consequence by living out our karma. i think that hell is right here on earth for some poeple - some people are living in hell right now as we speak all over the world. in the same light i feel like some of us are living in heaven on earth. i believe that there are many degrees of heaven and hell (if we are to look at it in such a way) - some people are further along in both directions than others. i am a good person living out my life by making good choices. i am not in heaven yet but i feel that much closer with every day that passes. when i was younger i made some bad choices and i could feel my life getter worse - the reason my life is not as good as it could be at this point in my life is because some of the choices i made when i was younger held back my progress. i think that this is how it is for many people even if they dont see it in terms of heaven and hell. if you are a good person living out your life in the best way that you can than you are living a good life and have no need to fear hell. but if you are a person who makes bad choices you are very right to expect that you will learn what hell is. the more bad choices you make the hotter the hell gets. now, i am not at all religious and i usually dont like using religious words but i feel there is no better way to describe my understanding of karma. i grew up with parents who were very much against any form of religion - they are more spiritual now thanx to my influence. it is easy for my father to hear what i have to say when he knows that i have never read or care to read a bible.

but you are right - there is no reason to fear. "do onto others as you would have done onto yourself" live by this rule and you will enjoy life. even if you do make some mistakes in life there is nothing to be afraid of - what will come to you may not be to your liking but it is in your best interest for you to learn your lessons and become a better person.

i believe that LSD changes anyone who does it in some way. but it is not always in a good way. my brother used to play in the same band as me. at some point in our journey we got into LSD. out of five people i was the only one who came out of it still respecting the drug. i guess maybe LSD has some kind of positive effect on them but they do not acknowledge that. my brother insists to this day that LSD was a huge mistake in his life and that it has scared him for life - as you can probably imagine that makes it very difficult to have any sort of relationship with my brother - how can we when LSD is such an important part of who i am. because he thinks that LSD is a mistake the fact that i have been using it for so many years makes me one very fucked up individual in his eyes. i love him as he is my brother but i will not call up my brother only to be treated like a skitso acid freak. LSD does not always change one for the better and some things that it might change in your life might not be to your liking (like loosing the respect of your family for instance). i might be better off for using LSD but that has little effect on how my family treats me and my drug use - unfortunately there is not much i can do but live my life and hope they see where they are wrong.

if i was to get into how LSD has changed who i am i would have to go on for days... there is no way in hell that i would be the person i am today without LSD. (the reason i said "no way in hell" is because i truly believe that right now this earth plane is existing in more of a hell type existence than a heaven) as a world society we are destroying our planet - only bad things will come of this and we are all to pay the price for our horrible mistakes. sure i drive my car to work in plastic manufacturing - so i am a part of the problem - but i have no choice - everyday i am looking for a better way to stay alive - i must feed myself and keep myself warm - i must survive. but i cant just go out to the woods and build my own house because someone else owns the land. i cant buy property that i would like because i cant afford it. at this point in my life i am doing what i have to to survive. everyday i am looking for a different way to live, pay the bills and hopefully get ahead. that is why i say that this is like a hell - because i am literally forced to do something that i dont feel good about. i have to be a part of destroying the planet or i will die or wind up on the street. this is some form of hell. without LSD i most likely wouldnt realize or care to make a difference. because of how i see the world now thanx to psychedelic drugs and weed i am inspired to change things. we live in a difficult time and life is not easy - LSD has definitely made it easier to see a good way and make better decisions in life.

i have thought about giving up many times. thinking that i should stop participating in society. but what would that do - i would only be saving myself. i wouldnt be saving the planet and how could i live knowing that the rest of the world is destroying my home.

so i pick up the guitar and i write some music. i put a band together and i start to get my message out to the world - that way i feel like i am a part of the solution and can feel good about living my life.

anyone who does not see reason to be a part of making the world a better place belongs in hell as far as i am concerned. LSD is a great way to wake people up - i think the world has a better chance at survival thanx to psychedelic drugs.

despite feeling like i am living in some sort of hell i feel truly blessed with the love in my life. i am thankful that i am not ignorant to how things are. i am happy to be living this life with the people i love - even if we have to be surrounded by so many horrible things.

 

Wow thats really inspiring...lsd made me see that too and think that way..im very glad and thatnkful. Thanks for sharing this and good luck in making the world a better place...take care!
