imo. i dont believe there is some higher force making concious decisions about what t is serious and what is a 'joke' in the universe. we're all here together. i believe acid is a tool, and if you think even consider the thought that it might be a 'joke' then stay the fuck away.
I mean that's a pretty random conclusion to come up with unless you had the help of my friend Lucy. Twas a joke mate, no harm meant
its not a joke, its just a substance, just like any other substance that creates a reaction in your brain, which changes your persective, thats all. It just does so in a way that it seperates the normal pre-concieved notions of everything become distorted. That within itself can be a form of therapy, or it can just be a way to get high and see some pretty colors and confusion. You ever look at something and say to yourself 'my god that is ugly', but another day you see it in a different light and it becomes beautiful? IMO Psychadelics allow you to see things from a different perspective, if you want to. As far as looking into a different world, I don't know. There are certainly higher levels of consciousness, pretty fascinating stuff. Ever since my 'trippy' days, I notice a lot more 'gut' feelings about stuff that is 100% accurate, even some stuff that goes way beyond that, I/E the feeling I am going to meet someone special on a certain day and it happens, dreams about stuff that happened a few days later that were so accurate it freaked me out. Its not going to elighten you unless you are open to it. The reason this works for some people we spend most of our lives being told 'how' to look at things, how to feel, etc. You give yourself a chance to seperate these preconcieved notions and think 'outside the box' on a trip if you want to, actually its more like jumping completely outside the box and kicking it to the curb. I know for a fact that I wouldn't have the positive outlook on life that I do if I wasn't able to take things from a different point of view, a few trips in my past allowed me to do so, because from the moment I was born I had things drilled into my head about the way the world 'wanted' me to see things. Not sure if that all makes sense, lol, at least it does to me.
yur puttin it on a pedastal just with that thread. were all puttin it on a pedestal by being on a forum about it
LSD showed me the drug life / party scene was not for me. I was always an open minded individual (still am), and the first time I tripped it was just an overall good and exciting trip, but my trips just kept (and started) getting worst as I kept chilling with kids who were all about just getting fucked up (and I was tripping with them). It just didn't mix well with me anymore, and it was weird how it was almost like my mind was telling me to get away from all that, as I was tripping.. I always got the most strangest but truthful vibes, always being able to tell what and when people are trying to get at something with me in the simplest social conversations.. It's done a lot, though I feel as though I'll leave my tripping days a lone until I find somebody actually right to do it with. It's definitely a very powerful psychological tool, it's almost like it made me and my friends just start to speak our problems unwillingly, trying to get at them, idk, it was different. There seemed to be a phenomenon amongst my friends, they would be tripping sack and always asking "What are we going to do" / "why are we here", and they'd be shocked if you just said, "drugs man", lol. Poor lost kids.
speak for yourself man, it is a powerful drug that helps people see clearly even after the trip. it may be a joke with no punch line for you but for many it is lessons upon lessons learned with new perspectives and creative ideas among many other benefits and experiences. i realize that eagle does not trip anymore and this post is a good representation of how against tripping this guy really is. so then why does he post here? a subtle attempt at steering people away from this drug or scaring them away. imagine a drug that has such a powerful effect on us could be a joke, you have to be fucking kidding me. anyone who thinks lsd is a joke - please keep tripping with that mindset and see what happens to ya - now that would be funny. :H
I really like this post alot. Especially what you put at the bottom. There is no Answer. Infinity has no end. I also love your sig pic haha.
LMFAO!!!!!! that makes a bit of sense. this is a decent theory. i'll be giving it quite a bit of thought. and i still need to read the other posts and opinions on this thread. and WOW, that is one hell of a joke. i knew god had a sick sense of humor.
u remind me of this guy i know named angel feather. i wonder if u know angel feather(he's a part of that rainbow tribe too)
simular instance in my youth, I always had the magic way of getting lsd,or shrooms. Some people I knew would take advantage of that and constantly hound me to get them lsd. At one point I was tired of all the mashed up heads without direction and hearing how bad these "kids" who were no older or even older than I was at the time, So I dipped them hard as I could with liquid, No joke 20 drops a cube. I really did this after one of them stole something from me while in my house to get acid..WTF.. That ended that cycle, I was probable 16/17. About the time I was 18/19 I had a freind who went loopy.. He stole a few pounds of weed off his dad, was stealing cars and robbing houses. While we were walking down the railroad tracks I gave him 4 hits of white blotter and I said the tracks go this way< to your house, they go this way> to mine, Ill see you later, At that point in time I knew I would never see him again. The one time I was with him tripping, He said "Im tripping so hard you could get high off my spit" Thats stupid I thought. Well to make a long story longer, He got mixed up with this dude and they together strangled this guys mom in a bath tub, He did 15 years for accessory to commit murder.. After all this he still managed to find his way to my doorstep again looking for LSD. Some nerve! And he was on State Supervised Parole at the time.. WTF..
Silent war? If there is a drug, when taken, that causes you to leave the military and live a simple and happy life, then I don't see how that would further the goal of hidden controllers. That would actually be a very bad thing for them, which could offer an explaination as to why its usage would be deemed forbidden. The specialness of each psychedelic experience should only be measured by the individual that experienced it. One can find the experience spiritually empty, and another could find it spiritually fulfilling. It really depends on the individual, and I don't think that it's right to try to invalidate each others very real and very personable experiences. Although, I don't think any drug could substitute a spiritual journey; Spiritual journeys still depends on the individuals readiness to walk down that road, and a choice as to whether or not to consider such as merely a "joke". Psychedelics can give way to an understanding that the road has always existed; you just have just neglected to know of it, for whatever reason. I see drug usage as a way for people to have evidence that their spiritual journeys would be worth leading. It can help the individual to realize that there is more and it should be searched for, even if it is in their own little special way. What matters is whether or not a mode to such is working for the individual. If it isn't working, use another method, and another, until you find the correct mode.
I agree the movie is not put together nicely. It just gives you some answers that you should accept just like that and it's not explained how it works. And I don't know can it be explained better then realizing them from personal life experiences.
