Do you ever see things much clearer after a trip? Last night was a great night went to a punk show and had a blast split 4 grams with a good friend and every thing was great. after the show we went to an after party. and was peekign just as we got there. i sat back and watched the room like it was a t.v. show.and i was amazed here i am in a room full of people i have known for years.. and yet at 4 in the morning i am almost embassed to be there. i see what these people i used to look up to have become. drunk and violent craked out and high strung.... it almost feels like i have moved past them. i hope the ones that are looking up to me dont ever have this moment
I often too see things in different aspects(or clearer, i guess) after a trip.... i also become more aware of it at any time when im sober and my friends or use to be friends were not so sober. Guess its why i have a very selected group of friends, i only will hang out with like 4 people on a daily basis, but thats becuase i know these are my friends through thick and thin, the rest.... they were a bunch of dopes, strung out kiddies that thought gettin high and yayed up was the thing to be and if they werent then they were pissy and violent, i knew a kid that would wanna fight when he was high, i would be like chill the fuck out dude or get the fuck out, dont need that vibe. Sobering up for a long time also gives you a great prospective of how fucked up your friends are or can be.
Take me now! Where have u been? I haven't talked to you in a while, how have you been? I will have to get on msn sometime and say hey.
nothing is quite always what it seems - although i do agree and feel that a trip can truly expose yourself to recognize a situation fully, from my realization it simply meant de-mystifying situations that i thought to be very very complex. and in the process realizing that they were in fact just the opposite, simple. truly the challenge lies there in with acknowledging that which you have learned, and applying it to your life situations, and OTHERS, and not writing off what you learned or forgetting it. i like to think of these chemicals as a gift and a tool - respect is key. after realizing it i think you can put the tool in the shed in keep it locked up, or even dust if off sometime to do some handy work. once you acheive the clarity it never goes away, it is there to stay and one certainly does not have to repeat the process in attempt to heighten that feeeling. PEACE-
That is one of the reasons i trip. Part of the whole "doors opening" thing. I disagree with michael though that it is unobtainable any other way. Psychedelics show us things that we must integrate into our lives and use long after we stop psychedelics (if we stop, lol). And yes, you are extremely hot takemenow.
Michael wrote: I think it would be more accurate to say that tripping can let yourself see how stupid you are. Then its up to you to "get smarter".
I'd have to disagree. I think it reveils more to you. If you are indeed " stupid " in whatever way you meant it then it will show you that. But when I smoke weed sometimes I get really self concious and think i'm talking like a jackass or doing stupid shit. And the first time I've shroomed I was scared that I would get that feeling but much worse and it would turn into this horrible trip of self concious thinking and being paranoid about what others think. To my surprize when I took them I became perfectly contempt with myself.. I chilled out and was completly being myself, and for whatever reason I realized that was how I should always act, just being myself. I took a look in the mirror and was more than completly satisfied with the person looking back at me. I had conversations and realized that no-one thought poorly of me. It was all self-concious bullshit in my head. And even after the trip that feeling stuck with me and hasn't left. Everytime I shroom now i'm just reminded of it and have a great time.
That sense of clarity is the reason I do shrooms. I see it as a spiritual tool... oftentimes, however, it becomes clear that my situation (like yours) is not one I am proud to be in. It's all good, though. That's how you learn.
once after mushroom tripping day i understood that the world isn't sow colourful like in the trip it's bad realy bad. we all have to make world more more colourful, when we could feel fine. many things that you understand after good trip, mush is the best gift from nature
exactly the same for me mate, weed used to make me look inwards too much and id start pickling my head so i stopped smoking it. and i sorta thought mushrooms might do the same thing, but as u said, it cleared all the shit out of my head and i felt like myself. deffinatly a tool im gonna use more. the disconnection and twistedness is nice too
