So What has LSD Revealed To You?

What lies that you once held to be truth were exposed on LSD. Do you now know what the elusive experiences of "enlightenment "is? Do you feel that you are not a body but a seperates entity a soul if you like? Did you perceive anything in inanimate or animate objects including people that you never noticed before? These are just prompters, I don't know whether I'm fishing in the right pond, just tell me what your revelations were.

 

that anyone under the influence can walk on water, not just jesus.

 

yes all of those things - at one point there was definitely a feeling and understanding of the presence of "something" like, a higher power... or, idk it's hard to describe but it was very amazing

 

My last LSD experience gave me clear insights on myself. I won't get into too much detail because it's personal to me, but I had some psychological issues that became clear as daylight to me during the period of afterglow (12-16 hours after ingesting 200 mics). Since then I have focused on working around my issues and trying to make the best of my situation. What LSD did for me was bring more emphasis to my problem, and thus allow me to establish a new conceptual framework for viewing my life and improving it.

I also felt so peaceful during the afterglow. I have had a DXM afterglow, but the LSD afterglow was very different. With the DXM afterglow I had, it felt so good listening to music (what they call music euphoria), whereas with the LSD afterglow I felt like a sage because I had actually attained a new consciousness. This has actually spurred my interest in Buddhism, which teaches the way to inner peace and happiness. There is a relationship between Buddhism and LSD, because both allow you to gain insights on yourself through concentration/meditation.

 

The experiences I had to deal with in the afterglow have been positive and negative, and integrating the negatives and realizing what they mean has showed me a new path in my life. Like anarchist, it has made certain things clear to me that I need to change in my life, and has more or less solidified to me who I am as a person in this world.

I have realized that something I thought to be false is in fact true, though not how I had thought. Religion is not what it seems on the surface, but it is not as bad as many people may think. Religion falls under the larger idea of spirituality, and that was confirmed to me during a very exciting and intense experience during my most recent trip. I felt as though I was standing in front of or sitting next to the godhead, so to speak, though it was more the center of everything, the center of balance in eternity. It showed me that certain things I had been taught were true, certain older wisdoms. One was the great balance of all things, from older English literature. In the stories, especially Shakespeare, nature would get all out of whack and that predicted bad energy or the like because people were doing things that were out of balance. I have taken that further and said that everything must balance out - if you have a lot of negative experiences in your younger life, things will be better as you get older. When you do good things to people, good things will come back to you. I then started reading a bit about Eastern religions, and found out that some of the basic tenants of those religions that follow karma deal with the same ideas.

So in essence, experiences under the influence of LSD in addition to reading and thinking about things, plus thoughts I had already had, I have reached a point in my life of understanding that I imagine a lot of people get from believing in Christ and God, or any other major religion. Which led to a conversation I had with an adult friend who is a rather devout Catholic, but who has respect for other people's thoughts on the subject. I came to the conclusion that there are many paths toward the same goal; LSD is simply one of those paths, and the one that I (and many people here and elsewhere) have chosen. Part of me wants to believe in the idea that LSD finds you when the time is right, and that I won't ever be able to find it again because LSD has taught me everything it's going to about life. That would suck though, because I want to turn some of my friends on to it, I think that I could make a good experience, lead my friends through a good experience.

"and I, I took the road less travelled by, and it has made all the difference"

 

That you can only find all when you have lost everything. Learned lots of stuff from dosing but in the end all it did was distance me from my peers. Woah is me. Pass that thang. SSSSSSSK.

 

Yes that serenity in afterglow, I'd forgotten about that. I felt centred and peaceful and I noticed other peoples awkwardness and cautiousness with each other with little bits of social conditioning checking them that I felt free from. I came down the next day though.

 

That Condoleezza Rice is not Black .

 

Interesting, actually if you would care to elaborate on that. I have only one friend who is truly accepting and understanding of the psychedelic principles. Everyone else has that 'taking lsd will make you crazy' mentality... even though half of them will take shrooms, ugh.

What were your friends reactions to your decisions? What made you decide to press on with your 'mission' if you will despite feeling distanced from your friends?

Cheers

yeah, its too bad. LSD reconfigures your value system and when you try to share and teach those messages of love, you end up rejected and people thinkingyour crazyjust cuz you prefer a hug overa handshake. it actually becomes harder to foster real, meaningful relations with the people around you and you can become depressed, even bitter about it. and slowly, you become isolated and confused in your new, but vast universe inside your mind because no one is willing to be receptive of anything out of the ordinary. i find what happens is a group of trippers eventually forms who understand eachother more or less and share some incredible moments, but its with a limit because its kept quiet. with no new and different energies, set and settings influencing your "trip"(or life) it becomes static again, and almost cult-like. what started as the broadening of horizons ends up with its own limits and roadblocks and sooner or later you've traveled the territory a thousand times and have seen all the sights, no matter how "far-out" they are to the rest of the world. the same thing that could have set you free ends up drivin you crazy.

this is why i have a serious intent to find the psychedelic experiences that can be had everyday. i often find a change of scenery does a lot to your state of mind and after taking lsd im able to notice those major and subtle shifts and much more sensitive to whats going on around me. its a matter of putting yourself in the right situation. if youre living the life many of us do, which is chillin out smokin herb listening to music and dose down on the weekends, its not going to neccesarily spiritually elevate your life - maybe for the moment, but not in the long run. that part is up to you, and all the LSD will do is act as a key to free your mind of its shakles so that whatever there is to know and feel can be felt to its fullest. but after a while the depth of your experience becomes a matter of set and setting more than just the drug you take.

But on the other hand, LSD is a hell of a lot of fun... so wahtever


sorry for the long reply, actually on my way down from some heady liquid and had some time to think haha

 

very true

you cant know the truth unless you leave everything behind

and thats lsd for me is useless...hopeless...i learn benefic stuff but the drug just fucks me up much and the bad equals the good i dont get anywhere.

 

Sure I'll elaborate a little bit.

Mostly people just can't relate when your goals aren't making money, winning competitions, and putting big useless shiny rims on your car. Or they can't understand why you hate the new eminem joint, cause it's off the hook yo.

People can't understand why you would give more than you take.

It's an awful time trying to find attractive women who aren't completely caught up in material and fucked up ego games, which is pretty much impossible to deal with when you're operating like I am. You almost have to bite the bullet momentarily just so you can find some 'love,' until you can't deal with it anymore.

While I am frustrated with babylon, everyone around me is blinded, even intrigued by its illusion. I am judged by my shoes ffs.

Many mistake kindness for weakness and try to take advantage of you.

The bad almost outweighs the good like g-fruit said. owell.

 

amen

 

To add, you can't live on a pedestal though, that's another problem. It goes against the nature of the person you become from this sort of thing to deny acceptance of others, at the same time likely not being accepted. Good luck.

 

L never taught me much, it kind of just makes me extremely egotistical, paranoid of everyone, and much more likely to fight someone who try's fucking with me or my friends or whatever, I guess pretty much the opposite of what's being said here lol. L does make me sort of crazy only because I never feel any pain while on it, like when it's snowing outside I can just sit by myself on a curb or walk around freezing with no problem, stupid shit like that. Everything being said here I learned more from smoking herb as a youngn, but that makes me paranoid if I smoke too much for too long. I definitley would have to say I got so much more out of eating mushrooms so many times, only I couldn't exactly explain the insight I've received from them.

Oh and 2ce's, mushrooms are why I became vegetarian, since you asked before

 

Man, we're from the same state... I can only hope we cross paths sometime. I would love to chill out and pick your brain/pass the joint.

see you at vibes?

 

Yes you will see me at vibes as long as I am in good health, just got an mri of my abdomen yesterday better tell these quacks something, if not, they better know something by august or I will be in a desperate state, pullin some john q shit lol cept for myself.

probably relayer will be there too if he's got enough spare change to make it up here.

 

OH I will definitley be there man, Icant wait

 

what has LSD taught me?
the truth as far as im concerned. The beauty and the ugliness we sometimes overlook in our everyday existance.
it has shown me what god really is.
it has shown me love.

btw, there is nothing wrong with "liking the new eminem joint." It is okay for peoples opinions to differ concerning music. And eminem just happens to be a good lyricist (i dont know too much about hip hop, as far as im concerned he is the best lyricist.)

love+light

see ya'll at vibes.

 

haha i don't dig stuff that glorifies sad beefs man, and all the other bullshit that most hip hop is about, especially mainstream. That's another thread entirely though.
