I have done acid many times and mushrooms dozens of times. As far as intensity and connection with the spiritual realm, mushroom take you to the edge of the abyss so you can peer in - but acid takes you to your spiritual heart - to the depth of your soul and being. You need only to be sure that you have enough fuel (lsd) for the journey. Picture yourself in a boat on a river, With tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, And she's gone.
The first thing you have to do is define what spiritual is. And please don't post a merriam-webster or wikipedia link.
I have gazed at that image many times and other images dozens of times. As far as intensity and connection with the spiritual realm, that image takes you to the edge of the abyss so you can peer in - but other images take you to your spiritual heart - to the depth of your soul and being. You need only to be sure that you have enough fuel (images) for the journey.
they aren't answering shit. Neo is the same dude who equates an alcohol overdose on his bathroom floor to a spiritual experience. Just being assholes to be assholes. Good thread ruined by spongebob and other crap posted by the goof troop.
Spiritual to me means that you've tapped into something that goes beyond the mere flesh and bones of the human aspect of yourself. For lack of a better word, i'll use the word spirit. Generally speaking, it is possible to have a recognition of this "spirit" without tripping at all. But i would say that tripping on psychedelics does allow for you to have a heightened sense of awareness of something about you that is beyond just the mere human, or can be a "welcome mat" for the recognition of what goes beyond the human. Why? I'm not even sure. As far as acid vs. shrooms goes, i would say that both access the spiritual, but in different ways. Shrooms being more organic and earthy while acid is more...i don't even know...acid. That's all i got...
