I just want to say that when I first started posting here, before I'd ever tried LSD actually, the quality of this forum was not nearly so high, unless my memory is simply distorted. Maybe it's because I've noticed some really positive changes in certain posters and so I feel like the board has developed a lot. I feel like there are several posters (I don't want to name names because I don't want to leave anybody out, which is a highly likely scenario at this hour ) who can be counted on to give high-quality, well-reasoned, descriptive answers to so many of the sometimes wise and sometimes dumbfounding questions that are asked to our community here. There was a time when I got so frustrated reading thread after thread where there would be at best one or two balanced, informative replies to a question or discussion. Nowadays, if I see an active thread, I can count on the fact that several people have already given some really balanced and informed opinions, often covering what I would have said as well as providing added insight and extra angles that I would not have thought of. I hope this doesn't make me seem like an egomaniac whose role it is to praise or criticize this board, but that's not what I'm saying at all (I mean, in the end, we can only judge the opinions/thoughts/writing of others by comparing them to our own thoughts and evaluating how they make us feel). I just see a level of maturity and depth and GOOD WILL that really makes me happy. Those kinds of good vibes and deep thoughts feed off each other, and I know the quality of my posts has risen a lot lately because I have been inspired by so many of you guys. So, cheers everyone There are some really kind, thoughtful, insightful people here, and I'm glad to be a part of this forum, regardless of what the topic is. I would love to chat with many of you guys about anything! P.S. No, I'm not on E, speed, L, weed, booze, or any other intoxicant at the time of writing. Perhaps a hint of sleep deprivation, but this is from the heart baby
This forum is important part of our connection, it the confirmation about so many believes that we had in our lifes but had nobody to ask. And more and more people find huge relief when they open their heart to somebody, even to somebody they know only the nickname. Peace an love!!!
I thoroughly enjoy reading shapeshifter's posts, as they are far and few but always speak volumes. Not to mention stayloose, you always seem to have a clearly defined thoughts... and that permeates here. I actually look forward to your posts in this forum. I also, don't want to name everyone... but they know who they are. All of the love I have been seeing lately in real life and on these forums is very encouraging. It provides a glimmer of hope, a torch in the tunnel. :cheers2:
Even since I signed up I've noticed a lot more well informed and helpful posts. Good work everyone, haha.
This is an important place. There needs to be a place like this where people who are having unconventional thoughts, either good or bad, can come and share them and know that people will understand, even if they don't agree. I doubt there are a ton of places on the web or anywhere else where someone could arrive and say "I'm pretty sure my brain is being controlled by spirits - what should I do?" and get a legitimate, heartfelt response. And that is a beautiful thing, as stupid as it might seem to so many people.
yep. these forums are great. having a place where someone can come to talk about anything is a rare thing in this world.
I've never come here with personal issues, 20% of my posts have been informative in nature, the rest have been joking around in Random Thoughts. But I have come here at 4am, coming out of an 8 hit acid peak, downing whiskey and going off about white noise, alley cats, and the meaning of life, and have always found people willing to immediatley connect to my level even if they are sober. Which, outside of the crazy people living outside in cities, or partys, doesnt happen in the real world
You know what I think of Ravi, and Indian music (also noise rock) in general? I think the music and in fact, the instrument, is designed to catch a little white energy ball of noise which, for some reason, is ALWAYS one step ahead of the musician, and two steps + ahead of the audience, and the waves of sound are bending and attempting to wrap around this ball, but it just bounces away, leaving a trail of notes for your mind to tell your fingers to play. It's like God is playing tag with reality.
I have been listening to him almost nonstop for 2 days . . . Just the combination of indian scales (puts western scales to SHAME), 10+ beat rhythms (again, lol) and the fact that he is essentially a one man jam band, improvising for hours with only a scale and a beat to go on . . . i mean wow. He is in the moment.
Thank you posters! We all owe a great debt of gratitude to each other for such positive and constructive thinking. Keep it up everyone!
I don't post here much but I read almost every thread that I can. LSD can lead to such interesting places within the mind. This forum has really helped me explore the realms of possibility and in some cases impossibility that come from the depths of psychedelics. I still am a relatively inexperienced tripper and the amount of insight I find in a lot of the more experienced poster's responses honestly blows me away. Thanks to everyone who helps this community develop and grow through the exchange of ideas. :cheers2:
i love this forum! ive learned soo much from everyone on here, it feels good to share these experiences with each other, i feel i learn something new everytime i visit here. wouldn't it be great if we all gatherd together one day?
:-D I have met a couple of posters (Relayer, Share the Warmth) in person and I have nothing but great things to say about both of them
hipforums has increased my vocabulary and given me better writing skills. who says learning cant be fun?!
