Most profound LSD "trip report" therapy ive ever read...

a man, deemed incurable in every psychiatric sense, obviously resistant to therapy, uneffected by regular drugs, is given 600ug of lsd.
if you have any interest in psychology, this is an amazingly informative report

Cool, I'm definitely saving this one. chronically dysfunctional. Sounds like me.

 

Cool I read it. Very simple, although I'm sure what David experienced and thought during and after the session wasn't exactly simple, but maybe it turned out just as simple as this report concludes, hence his acceptance of regular life and a place as an ordinary person. I wish I could have the opportunity for a high dose in a controlled environment for the same purpose as to penetrate all the isolating and alienating images of self that have evolved, at least since my last trip. On growing in a new realm in the months after a reflection shattering experience, I know what it means to see what is around you and grow in balance with it. But it's not easy for those that are inherently different, it requires much self discipline, which is not something I have been able to find. It seems that as long as one who is different is exposed to the ordinary crowd they will remain isolated, because in being yourself you are bound to further isolate yourself from the empathy and relation of the many ordinary people, but I have also found that is also a good method in finding those who accept you with ease, and they will be all you need.

i know exactly how you feel. too bad you had a lasting bad experience. LSd and psychedelics are helping me overcome these same issues

 

Reading that made me think of Tommy;

If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right.
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
I'll tear your soul apart.

Give us a room and close the door
Leave us for a while.
Your boy won't be a boy no more
Young, but not a child.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
I'll tear your soul apart.

Gather your wits and hold on fast,
Your mind must learn to roam.
Just as the Gypsy Queen must do
You're gonna hit the road.

My work is done now look at him
He's never been more alive.
His head it shakes his fingers clutch.
Watch his body writhe
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
To break your little heart.

If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right.
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
I'll tear your soul apart

 

^That song actually sums it up perfectly.

"I casually mentioned that because of all the different medications he had taken over the years, perhaps he had become drug tolerant and needed a second session with a much higher dosage. At this news he went stark white and was totally speechless."
. heh

 

A bad trip is when an individual uses all his energies into combating the pending loss of ego control. The ego, in fighting to stay identified with what is "known," creates a living hell - everything turns to negations, everything is experienced as threatening and dangerous. All of the rejecte! d aspects of the self are projected onto the external world and one experiences "reality" as demonic

Good to know.
