it could be. that's why i made this thread. i find the fact that this happens very interesting. the reason i made the theory i did was because all i the people that i have known that have experienced this i felt did not fully tap into the potential lsd had to offer. not that they were less spiritual people, or that because it happened they were less spiritual. there could be instances where it has happened to people that entirely understood the capacity of what was happening to them, it's just that in my life all of the instances where it happened were a result of lesser capacity or intent. edit- maybe instead of result i should have used a different word or phrased the sentence differently. i'm not saying i'm right here. was just my own little theory so i thought i'd throw it out there. i'm not trying to pass this off as fact.
my conclusions about the people that i have known being unaware or unwilling to tap into some of the more spiritual aspects of things are by no means based on the fact that they experienced the acid jitters. these are all people that i know very well. i just began to wonder if maybe the jitters were a product of their unwillingness.
Well you can hold the same beliefs about ego death, and the eternal energy that thrives within us all and not judgmental of others. These experiences are not for you to feel that you have gained some sort of advancement in contrast to the rest of society, but instead to completely find thy true self that is so deep within us. Yeah sure, people's identities and personalities are variable when it comes to their ego. Some people have huge egos, yes? But I think if you are to truly use what we think we're using from the experiences instead of contrasting our selves in differentiation, comparing ourselves in similarity. Like wise we should more easily be able to look to someone and realize their soul. Their deep true soul, no matter the size of the faux shell. Yeah lots of us go through lives serving some purpose other than the greater good within and without. Yeah so many of us are jaded to eternal truths that manifest before our eyes in nature. but. We all shine on. I don't know. I still am one to believe that ego death should be a popular experience. That people who don't open themselves to any type of transcendental experiences are a little blind. Blind to the eternal energy within them. Yet it's still there.....very weird.
You're overlooking the fact that there may be no spiritual aspects to the entire thing after all. Your perceptions are your own, and it isn't right to insinuate that their experience or way of doing something is wrong or inferior to your own, because they don't experience the way you do. Maybe their acid trip has been the greater all this time, you'd never know.
And no one would ever know. Maybe one calls apples spiritual when one disagrees but calls oranges spiritual? Why does it matter? Love is projected, you can project it on apples, or oranges, or evyerthing. You choose.
i thought i already said that it was just a theory, and that what is going on could be completely different from that. i made this thread to come up with ideas about why this kinda shit happens.
Yeah, honestly could be anything. I witnessed somebody who had a very very bad trip. I posted a trip report on it once before on this board. One thing that kind of corresponds with what you have to say was there was a period when he was kind of "glitching" out it looked. He kept whipping his head around spastic-ally and it seemed very Tourettes-ish. Not to mention he was making all sorts of strange noises that could be comparable to tongues lol.
man that was a fuckin beautiful post. i guess the connection i was trying to draw is that the surface charachter of these people tends to be a little blind, the persona of their faux shell is what's in question here -- as to whether it relates to the acid jitters. yet still others are not blind, but make a conscious decision to not allow the divine glory to flow through them. these are the two types of people that i have seen experience the acid jitters. i have also even had some of these people come to me after the experience and agree with me in the aspects in which i believed them to have been unaware -- with a new perspective and awareness. also every time i have seen this happen i have also been tripping mad balls, so i really understood things on a deeper level. these aren't just opinions that i have forumulated about these other people, these are opinions we have forumulated together.
yea, very tourettes-ish. not exactly like a tingling in or surging in your spine like i think pr0ne is talking about. edit- but this^(prone's text) seems to be how it gets started.
Still looking for god in church eh? My belief, from my own experience with these jitters on many psychoactives and from reading lots of experiences, is that they are the same mechanism which causes seizures. It is a surge of muscle tightening, sensation, blinding light, thought, whatever. It is serotonergic sparks flying, your whole physical shell going through the trip-throws of a substance, one part of which is the occasional "jolt". Haha, just kidding. It's really Thor, when you take LSD your soul is charged with mystical energy and it brings the stern and mighty gaze of Thor onto your puny husk, and he may toy with your voltage for his amusement.
Well when my big native american friend had the twitches he was dancing around like an excited southern black preacher. We came to the conclusion that was what he was in his past life. True story.
Those sensations can be anything, who really knows? I do feel though, that it is something divine because it fills my being with healing light that soothes me, and nourishes me, and makes me feel determined, to love, more than before.
i agree with the OP. this phenomena is something i have observed time and time again in myself and others, especially when going through intense phases of ego dissolution/connection to source consciousness sometimes accompanied by loss of motor function/loss of waking consciousness (typically accompanied by an out-of-body visionary state). what i've seen, is the process of kundalini awakening is characteristically different for each person. it is suited to their particular path. the constant in the process is the actual physical sensations that kundalini awakening produces; sensations that may result in erratic bodily movements, tremors, and verbal utterances to name a few. kundalini awakening can occur quite rapidly and spontaneously, or over an extended period of time, again depending on the person/path. psychedelic exploration certainly stimulates the process.
this happens to me everytime i trip it has for the past 2 years and when it occurs the muscles in my neck tense up. any thought? i am still new to lsd
I notice some weird shit sometimes when i'm on it, like fuckin my eye feels all weird like there is something in it? I don't know how to explain it, I don't even remember what it was when i'm not tripping.
