When I dropped acid for the first time, (many years ago), I was expecting to go into a fantasy world of crazy hallucinations. I waited and waited for something to happen and nothing did. Then it occured to me that I'm okay as I am and that I don't need to be take this drug, just be happy with who I am and get on with life , stop looking for something else. When I made that decision something happened I felt great, I'd arrived. I called on some fellow drug experimentors and noticed how introverted some of my them looked. There was one who I'd always regarded as a leader, who always had the most to say, who in the past I'd always felt a bit inhibited with, but now I just felt so free with him and chatted away to him as an equal. I left them and got on with some minor tasks that I would have done earlier had I not taken LSD, I even drove, no problem, in fact I felt extremely able and mentally strong. . I had one or two minor hallucinations but these seemed to align with my ecstatically happy state. and did not get in the way of operating efficently. The next day all this came to an end, my neurosis returned, I was once again a prisoner. But what suprised me about this trip is that I have never met anyone who had a trip like mine. Has anyone had a similar experience?
A trip is subjective and is never going to be the same for two people. Would it be possible for you to take the same attitude to life as you did to your trip? It's possible that your trip has shown you how you could be if you realised that you're always ok, as you were when you were tripping.
LSD is an amazing chemical... I've only done it once, to sample it, and it helped me to overcome my depression. Now, I am only waiting for the time when I feel mentally abel and spiritually aware enough to attempt to reach a higher consciousness.
As I said this was along time ago. I did try to change my whole being by simply making a decision as I did on acid but I'm afraid nothing changed, so clearly acid had its effect on my mind which helped to temporarily blow stuff that a decision alone would not accomplish. Clearing away the mental baggage is a long process using different forms of therapy. I tried the instant route but it dosen't work. I realise that each person has their own experience but I wondered if anyone had something similar.
I don't believe visionary experience is necessarily a sign of a meaningful acid trip. The psychological effects are to me the most interesting. And yes, we all come down later but that doesn't mean that we haven't learned some lessons. Some neuroses may require much more to "blast" it away than imagined, a lifetime. But hopefully we can live happy lives during the "work in progress" and appreciate these useful tools like LSD that we have been given. But also, LSD can help us, but it is no answer to problems of the psyche. It can show us the way, but it is ourselves alone who must recognize who we are.
you got some bad acid man dont buy from him anymore you should get more from a diff. person and quit trying to think spiritually and sit back and enjoy the hallucenations LSD is meant to hallucenate not give you a peak into heaven
I choose to expand my consciousness with acid, this can include but is not limited to visionary experience(what I think you might be referring to as "hallucinations"), for me it gives insight into my psyche but this is an illusion as well. At the peak of a big one there is no ego or anything else for that matter. But if you prefer your hallucinations, to each his own is what I say.
i mean why try to look into your mind or w/e if u werent meant to be able to do that sober then you shouldnt do it Acid is just a chemical and its your brain that makes you think your lookin into your mind your not doin nothin but hallucenatin and thinkin to hard
I would have to disagree with this statement. Your mind is just a bunch of chemicals to begin with. If acid fits the keyhole, then why not see what's inside? If you were in a field like music, art, or writing... let me tell you that LSD will give you all sorts of free association capabilities. It's like a mental block that slows down your ability to freely associate just takes a day off when you take acid. Some people can use an effect like this to their advantage. Usually I just like to have fun like watch the visuals, listen to music, talk to friends, go to a show, etc. As for the 'peak into heaven' comment, LSD makes me feel so good to be alive that I imagine it is heaven. That's just a peak though, if you really want to be catapulted into heaven take some LSD and MDMA.
Now where did you get the idea that the mind was something that shouldn't be looked into? Maybe from looking into it? Most of us do it quite alot, while sober or on acid. But I do find your comment on the brain making you think your looking into your mind but really only hallucinating to be very interesting. And in a way I agree with you. Our perceptions(hallucinations?) are all we have to go on. If I am hallucinating that I am looking into my mind, then it is a hallucination that I am perfectly comfortable with. The insights that I derive from these hallucinations help me understand where I am in regards to my circumstances and surroundings. They help me in seeking pleasure and happiness, and avoiding pain. Acid helps appreciate syncronicity, the relatedness of things. For those that are open to that sort of thing. Other people are happy just to pop a pill and see a movie inside their heads or whatever. No problem.
Dude, where did meth come from? Here's a lesson for everybody: if you're going to try to argue, use material that has some sort of correlation to the conversation. We were talking about LSD, and looking inside your mind, not tweaking on meth.
I totally agree with this mati. I took acid for the first time last saturday and it truely was incredible. I mean i had tons of visuals and stuff, but after an hour or so I was barely paying attention to them and mainly focusing on learning more about myself. I was able to look at myself from many different perspectives while outside of my body. I found many things I liked about myself, as well as many things I didn't. All in all it was very fascinating and I can't wait to do it again.
read abit about the biochemisty of the psychedelic expirience and im sure youll agree comparing meth to lsd is like comparing the number 8 to the color blue...lol. they are in completely different catigories. lsd plays on the same receptors as some very interesting chemicals in our mind, because its structure so closely resembles seratonin. its these naturally occuring chemicals like seratonin, melatonin, ect. that create our sober waking reality...iv found that one can learn alot about the nature of reality and the human mind when throwing a variable like lsd into the mix. its been said that lsd is to the psychologist, what the microscope is to the biologist...
LSD is a microscope in general I'd say... tripping to me is like living intensely, it intensifies everything.... color, sound, emotions, etc. Dam I fucking love lsd lol.
