I have been doing psychedelics for a few years now. I have this thing among me and my trip crew called "mirror surfing" it's when we'd always stare at ourselves in the mirror for hours on end, coming to grips to what was blatantly in front of us; ourselves. Recently, I have managed to connect with some one "else" on lucy. I stare into my eyes and they'd get so big they would extend "beyond" my eyes, at it appeared to be. within less than a second my eyes became not my own, on a face far manipulated from my own, with bright eyes, and much urgency- but my eyes and mind kept tearing up in confusion and excitement and her/his face constantly was pulled away from me. finally I connect enough to hear "Not much time...." lost it " multiple realities..." This is what I did to achieve this 1. Be at peace with here, and now. 2. completely centered myself and looked at myself, and angled myself in such a way that i appear to have absolutely no gender 3. Breathe in rhythmic with my heart. Please try this and tell me if you have any of your own experiences, I'm kind of concerned as the essence of her message had immedient consequence in our reality in our gov't. THIS WAS ON ONE TAB OF PRETTY DECENT LUCY. I was in a very stable world. I'm also a very stable-minded skeptic. I really have to see it to believe it--- and that's why I want other people to do this!!
imo if your goal is to come to grips with yourself, the mirror is a distraction...t'would be better to feel the sensations within your body. as far as the visuals your describing, one need not be on lsd. it is enough to just hold a steady gaze, but in this way it seems a simple visual distortion.
I used to stare in the mirror a lot, just for visuals reasons. I have seen my face do all kinds of creepy shit. I used to like to put a mirror behind my head to and look at the reflection in the reflection of the mirror..., that way you get a an endless reflection of yourself to stare at. What do/did you interpret what you heard to mean. Just curious,
This is a LOW dose, like ONE. also this is the 3rd time I've been able to connect with "someone" but before have never been able to make out the words. PLEASE TRY IT YOURSELF BEFORE ASSUMING IT"S JUST A PERSONAL HALLUCINATION
That is what is known as a PARANOID DELUSION. Fine if it's a one time kinda thing, but if it is an ongoing occurance than NO MORE LSD FOR YOU! Seriously, hearing voices, seeing your face alter into another's, being given gravely important messages from these voices, Textbook schizophrenia.
I'm not afraid of becoming a schizophrenic. I believe we have greatly misunderstand "crazy" in this culture. And also read more than a TEXTBOOK on schizo, and you'll quickly find that researchers have found that schizophrenics are actually tapped in to alternate realities, all of which we work within unknowingly in this reality. In addition, this is a LOW DOSE
Could you please provide references to this research. Actual links to the research would be preferred. Sounds intriguing, if it's not a load of psuedo-scientific B.S.
*edit*^^Damn, you beat me to it...*/edit* Can you recommend reading material to find out more about THIS? This makes it more likely that something maybe wrong.... or right?
i'm sure that if you stared into the mirror long enough on lsd that you could see all kinds of crazy stuff. maybe it was just a plain old hallucination. or maybe it was your subconscious. or maybe you did make contact with an offworld entity. all of these things are possible while under the influence of psychedelics. smith, just because he experienced a so-called 'paranoid delusion' i think that it takes on a completely different context because he was under the influence of lsd. if you overanalyze it too much with empirical thought processes and psycho-analytical BS you'll squeeze all the magic out of your lsd trips. auneface, i wouldn't be overconcerned with whatever message was being conveyed to you. be patient and you will come across the things you need to know. maybe if you feel it is that important you should try going back.
Actually as the OP reiterated a couple of times, it was a LOW DOSE, therefore mental aberrations may be more at play here than you want to believe. As far as psycho-analytical bullshit, I'll rely on that over the pseudo-spiritual, quasi-mystical mumbo-jumbo you often purport to experience and use to "guide" you. So Desos, tell me, did your plan that you mentioned last spring in your "psychedelic revolution" thread to change the world for the better by writing music and living in a commune work ? I don't think so because stuff seems to still be pretty fucked-up. I guess you need to work on better songs or whatever, I'll just continue my meager attempts by continuing to help out at the local food bank, even though such endeavors can't compare with the joy, peace and end to suffering that your song writing will bring to the world. So you can keep your magic and I'll stick to psycho-analytical bullshit. But I wonder, which approach helps put food in other peoples belly's?
OP: ever consider that spending so much time during an acid trip staring into the mirror will eventually give your mind something to entertain itself with? try doing other things, lol. seems like you're looking for something in this activity and your mind is letting you find it. i'd also love to read any literature you have on how schizophrenics are tapping into another dimension, a dimension only accessible to people with a physical, neurological problem brought about partially by a virus. resist falling into the fantasies in your mind, they will swallow everything you are
Ill fill the psychedelic revolution void with my music if someone wants to loan me a couple thousand dollars for a new computer and recording eqipment. Viva la revolucuion!
