high on life

i think that is the dumbest thing any non-drug user has ever said. yes, running gives you an adreniline boost but that isnt high. maybe you have high levels of dopamine in your system right now but you dont have enough to be high. its so fucking stupid to hear people say it and when i do hear someone say it i always ask if they have ever used drugs and alwys the answer is no. anyone else agree? i mean yes you can breath real deeply and quickly and youll get a "buzz" like your dizzy. and yea sometimes ill get a little body buzz for no apparant reason but you arent high. just a saying made up by the government to get kids to think you can get higher without drugs than you can with them

 

well i get high on life , but not after running or doing something to get my energy boost up... but by simply being aware of my senses, of my surroundings... things tend to get clearer like that... and is in my opinion, better than dope.

 

Hey Mr. Morrison... Well, I really do agree with you... I just hate that saying.. "I would rather get high on life"... I think drug users know what they are getting at.

Anyhow, yea, its easy to get high on other things (besides drugs)... I run a lot, and ya, that can really buzz somone out... I've done a few half marathons... and your mind really does some wacked out things around 20K.... its quite impressive... There are so many moments when you can just get high from non drug activities...

However, to me, drugs are not about getting high in the sence that Im happy.. its about something deeper.. more meaningful.. You just don't learn the same things from mind blowing sex, as you do from a walk on magic mushrooms... both are enjoyable.. and some say both get you high.. but they are both different, and the results are different.

 

the high on life thing is justa phrase people use when they are happy (least that is the only way i have ever heard it used)

 

it annoys me when people say they "get high on life" instead of doing drugs. as if drugs are somehow not a part of life. if they weren't a part of life, would they exist in our lives? and also, they can have no idea what "being high" is like if they never have. sometimes i'll be sober and my depth perception will go loopy, straight lines will warp, fun stuff like that. but i'm never thinking "man, i am so high on life right now". usually i'm thinking so much about other things that it doesn't seem out of the ordinary at all. it's just sort of interesting to see what i can control. and i would never think the ability to twist what my eyes see with my mind is at all comparable to the uncontrollable effects of actual drugs.

 

exactly

 

perhaps.. but try taking awareness walks, meditation, lucid dreaming.. all the good stuff you can get from a mushroom trip... you can experience without drugs, clearer and better... (and ive done shrooms and other psychedelics many times). and there is nothing that beats a good awareness walk, or a controled astral projection.

 

well i wasnt really talking about tripping since i cant say as ive never tripped before. but al;so couldnt those just be flashbacks since shrooms and acid do that

 

humm. no, but at least the shrooms and acid open up the doors of perception, once that is done... go on with meditation, increase your awareness, youve opened the doors... now explore.

but it is possible to get high without drugs... very

 

see even though i dont agree, i can accept your opinion cause youve experianced both sides, while most people who say that havnt done it

 

here ill give an example of one of the many natural highs you can experience:

"The condition which exits between the awake and sleeping states which is characterized by illusions of vision and sound. It was first recognized around 1845 by J. G. F. Baillarger (1809-1890) in France, and W. Griesinger (1817-1869) in Germany.

The state was studied by the scholar and antiquarian Alfred L. F. Maury who named it "illusions hypnagogiques." This condition is distinguished from "hypnopompic visions" which appear the moment that sleep recedes and momentarily persist in the awake state. Both types of illusions are related to the faculty of dreaming; however, hypnagogic illusions may be a precursor to out-of-body experiences. A.G.H."


the hypnagogic and hypnopompic states, what can happen when you are almost asleep... If you are aware of your mind entering and being in this process, you will know that this is better than a LSD trip, not to mention your capacity to have an out-of-body-experience from there...

Drugs arent the only things that trigger something in your brain resulting in a "trip"... another example is death, what happens in the brain when some one dies is similar to a DMT trip.

 

yea i knew about the death and DMT

 

Is it wrong to be happy?

"I'm high on life!" is just an expression used by happy individuals.

Drugs make you THINK & FEEL like you are happy, but if you can be happy without drugs, then all power to you.

 

That shit is fun man, I only found out that other people experienced that recently and that I wasnt losing my mind!

 

yea its truly amazing the things that happen at night when our body is asleep. its like our perception switches to another body, another eye. and we experience things out of the ordinary.

 

I only ever had experience with my double in this state, 3 times, and they were all seperated by a few years, and I could never control it for long, last time it happened was the longest where I actually got up and went outside, but after a while outside my apartment just turned into trip world.

 

awesome .. ive had a few astral projections 2... but i never really got out of my house, it sounds stupid, but just moving in the astral plane is kinda hard to do.

 

That's because your thinking of them as projections, when the double of the self is just as real as the termed physical self. You really just have to let go of understanding that and experience both realities at the same time.

 

true that...

how were your projections like? I remember being able to move aroud just with thoughts... and i couldnt go through walls though ... its probably because when i was trying to i was thinking like "man i bet i wont be able".

but i was so damn fascinated by how real astral projection and out of body experiences are...

 

My last one I remember getting up off the couch and seeing myself lying down with my cat, and I remember thinking Where is my girlfriend? Oh yea shes in bed, then I went outside and it was cool, just walking around like normal, but then I saw faces everwhere and tripped out stuff happened, then I went back in and back on the couch, and I saw people outside my window staring at me, thats when I came back to my body and it was like coming into to another person, where I realized again what had happened, even though when it did I knew I was in two places at once.
Also another time I was in bed when I lived at my girlfriends moms house, and I got up and talked to her in another room, then snapped out of it and was in bed again, then when I went to talk to her again she said that I was talking to her about a half hour ago, even though the transition seemed to be only a few moments. That was very fuckin weird!
