in simple words ,when on lsd we can disconnect from this world (reality?), and connect to another world, right? Now what i think that could be a interesting discussion is what is that world... I just took it once and i had no idea that the lsd high could be so that Just could control myself in that world like 10 / 20 seconds for 2/3 times... I read lots of threads about contacts with identitys/beeings like aliens and spirits etc, and i rly think that something in that stories that make sense, but as i said i hv no experience to find it out alone...soon ill take my 2nd trip and maybe last, im just curious about that 'enlightment ' moment... Post ur thoughts and opinions, i think that psychedelics are just about this imo
for me the LSD world is home. It is were my soul resides. It takes my brain away from reality and back in contact with my innermost self. As for aliens and spirits and whatnot, i have no place there for them.
To me, we always live in the same world - the world constructed by out brains. The extent to which each of our 'island minds' agree or are influenced by similar factors.. is another matter. We assume that we live in a phsyical world, and I believe this. But no human ever escapes their mental universe to 'peer out' into our true, shared reality. The mysteries of the universe mostly reside within our brains.. and each of us has our own universe-machine with its own glitches and hacks
Last night a young man on acid realized that all matter in the universe is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one conciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves
i'm trying to convince my friend to do acid, but he's afraid when he will do it everything around him will die or contract aids. what should i tell him?
I believe it's a pretty common philosophy, and one that I share wholeheartedly, that LSD does not actually connect you to another world as such. Instead the drug can allow a person to perceive the world in which they normally exist in a different and heightened way. Things which are normally blocked out from our conciousness are allowed in and can then be integrated into our minds. This is what I find most interesting and rewarding about tripping. Not just experiencing the "OMG wow the universe is amazing" moment...but actually taking practical knowledge from the moment and using it to evolve your current ways of thinking. If you are after enlightenment, it can and should be a very personal thing. Your epiphany may come through the experience of an alien...or a talking badger, who knows. It depends on your own mind. All I can add is how my perception evolved...and that was through a hightened awareness of how energy forms the basis of all that we are, all that we experience and all that we do not. All of which is linked as "one". Maybe it's just me, but experiences like aliens and spirits never played a part in my tripping because they always seemed so...um...normal world things? Like I said though, everyone is different. What LSD opens up in one person may be totally different to another.
hmm it makes sense too...maybe aliens manifestacions occurs in people who thinks a lot about it, and the same about spirits and all kind of stuff, thats the way our own mind finds the 'enlightment', 'epiphany'...
Well I'm not sure if thinking about things such as aliens and spirits will actually help "bring on" any enlightenment. One favour you can do yourself is to not force the issue to much. Our minds are generally filled with so much clutter that this tends to filter out plenty of the stuff that we are unconciously recieving...and that we want to recieve. The energy itself, if you would like to call it that. If you are conciously trying to make things happen (like searching for spirits etc) you are just filling your head with more "real world" garbage. Trying clearing your mind instead, and let things come to you. Remember that throughout history, people have echieved enlightenment without the use of drugs simply through meditation. LSD can just help short-track this...and can be a shitload of fun too
LSD is great for us in the west. Typically we are all very busy with work, school, etc. transcendental meditation can take a lot of time and discipline at first. L speeds up the process...it's the same world, the same brain. It's not unhealthy or immoral, it's just where we're at as a culture and speaks more to how far removed we are from indigenous human values. An artifical society sometimes needs an artificial method of transcendence. L doesn't introduce foreign things to the mind, it removes our manmade filters and it requires the quieting of ego-thoughts (same as meditation). What is leftover when the ego is silent has always been within us, hence the feeling of familiarity in many trips. UNderneath ourselves lives endlessness, entirety, unspeakable beauty...it's always there whether we know it or not.
