The Yellow Submarine (if you havent seen this on acid yet there is a problem.. lol)
Fern Gully
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Howls moving castle
spirited away
mirror mask
big fish
fantasia
The Last mimzy (really great to watch before 2c-b as well)

just about any disney movies... there are a few that are bad... but most are great for frying and i have like 29 disney movies...
TREASURE PLANET IS THE SHIT ON ACID! LOL

 

If you like Cat Soup, try watching Mount Head, especially the end

 

is it anime or what? and can it be downloaded?

 

Yea! It's an anime about a man who has a cherry tree growing out of his head, and he, well, just watch it It's on youtube for free

 

I must be missing something...movies while on lsd? mkay...

I will list some of my post-trip faves:
chocolat
dan in real life
joe vs. the volcano
american beauty
one flew over the cuckoo's nest
easy rider

it's pretty amazing watching certain movies after a very enlightened trip. esp. movies you've seen before; there is so much more depth and meaning

 

i totally agree, but have you never at least seen the yellow submarine on acid? b/c its so fucking amazing... the beatles really did something incredable with that movie.

some of my most favoritest movies i came to like on acid, like Bridge to Terabitha... and i TOTALLY rediscovered Serenity on acid... that is intense shit... im tellin ya if you thought reevers were intense before just you wait. i mean sometimes we just dont wanna wonder around so we chill out and listen to music and sometimes watch movies... i love alice in wonderland on acid. its so comforting... its been known to bring me out of a freak out..

wanna know what was the best? The Nightmare Before X-mas 3D on acid... it was like sitting on the edge of a building and spying on them it looks so real. its fucking rediculas! lol. but it was so awsome... unfortunately we coudnt get it until right before the movie so it took quite a while to kick in... however it started kicking in pretty much at the beginning of boogie woogies first scene. man that was so worth it.

 

Yea, the ability to accept that everyone enjoys drugs the way they see fit and not according to the pseudeo intellectual bullshit thrown around this forum and the rest of the net as if anyone can understand how or why LSD does what it does.

 

And before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, Im not saying that everyone here is wrong. What I am saying is that the day any of you can control an acid trip, then we can start hearing what people should or should not enjoy while frying. Until then, its a bunch of fluff, and I dont mean the white kind.

I wouldn't ever say that you can't have fun doing something like watching a movie on acid, in fact to engage in an activity native to your normal reality while on acid and make it fun or deep is a skill, an exercise in mental control. if I had a dispensable supply of acid i'd pry try it myself. from my end it just seems similar to a water shortage; people are struggling to stay alive and hydrated when others are watering their lawns with it.

I can't ever take the term "pseudo intellectual" seriously because anytime someone uses it, they are usually lumping actual intellect and psuedo intellect together. i'm not implying that's what relayer is doing, it's just that typically when someone says psuedo intellectual they are just fishing for some sorta defense for their lack of intellect, and resort to the umbrella term "psuedo intellect." it's convenient, and it negates the exercise of further intellect.

 

Why would you watch a movie on lsd? It would be fun but theres much better things you can do. If you mean watching a movie while you coming down then thats understandable but i would never watch a movie while peaking.

 

The thing is that it is not a matter of how easily you can score LSD, it's a matter of being yourself. If you read Leary, Ram Dass, Mckenna, the poster's on this forum, your favorite 60's rock band's biography, etc. and feel that you have to incorporate the method's they have to share, how can you truly be yourself? The advice people have to give you is all fine and dandy, but MANY of the regulars posting here spout their opinions as if they are solid fact with no regard to the reality that we all react differently to every chemical, and we all have our own ways of learning, enjoying, suffering, and so on.
It's one thing to say "You should be in Nature during a trip, watching tv or being on the computer is a waste" and another to say "I find my trips most enjoyable and beneficial to my mental health when I am not distracted by modern technology or negative (to my point of view) people."
A lot of posters here even try to go beyond the first level of God, mother Nature, and bring in THE God (whatever it is) as the reason for sharing their 'facts', and the truth is that if God is within everything, God is within your television, your movies, shit She's even within the beastiality and child rape films on the internet. It's not what you do, it's how you do it and why, and that is a matter of personal taste.
Tripping and going out in Nature to meditate is a beautiful thing, something I've done hundreds of times. But I also have a very different take on spirituality than most people here would agree with, and I would never say that what one person finds to be enjoyable is of any more or less value than my own tastes.
Burn Im not saying you are preaching like what I've just mentioned, but there is a lot of that going on here and it's pretty rediculous. One man gathers what another man spills, remember?
It's all reflecting the same in some kind of light.

And if you would like me to point out what I find to be pseudo intellectual, I would be glad to go to another subforum and start a thread listing my meaning and pm you the link. Perhaps Random Thoughts forum, our favorite wasteland?
Namaste

 

that's pry not necessary. i'm sure u have the right view of what is psuedo, I just didn't know if I was being referred to as such, and if I was I couldn't still productively use my own intellect in this thread. but thanx for clearing that up.

I think that we didn't actually disagree, but were talking about separate things. obviously, many take cid with no intention to be enlightened, but arrive there anyway, in any given environment. it's just that the ignorance about the nature of L is so widespread and so accepted and watching movies on it seems on the surface to be consistent with that ignorance, but as you pointed out that's not always the case. you can have the most "ideal" setting and still achieve nothing but confusion and fear, and you can trip on the spur of the moment with no prep at a house party and become rapturous (although those are probably exceptions).

I would never look down on someone who drops then watches a movie; acid is still new to me and it's hard to see it as worth doing. but I agree that the godhead some seek is visible in all things including and especially movies; it just seems that that fact is more apparent after the trip in your daily observations. watching a movie before coming down just seems like it takes too much conceptualizing, which is a habit of the mind that precludes the success of a trip. but for all I know, one line in a movie could be a catalyst that sends the viewer to higher plateaus.

 

Attic Expedtitions
Waking Life
High Intensity

 

i fucking love the attic expeditions... but i dont know about watchin it on acid.. lol..

we usally go for really lighthearted movies... or ones that are only slightly morbid like the nightmare before x-mas and mirror mask.

and sometimes when everyone is stuck inside and no one wants to go wander its good to put on a movie.. to have something going on for those who choose to pay attention.

i perfer to fry int he day time almost exclusively but if i have to fry at night i have a HUGE selection of things to watch on acid.. lol.. i also have turntables and over 150 gigs of music... im a good fry hostes... most of the time. lol

you guys know the yellow submarine was made TO FUCK WITH PEOPLE ON ACID. straight up... every little odd fucking thing they did was to fuck with you on acid... its a straight up work of art and that is what made me fall in love with the beatles. blue meanies are my FAVORITEST villens EVER... lol.
and under the surface the movie has so much more meaning... its about the chemical drug world vs the natual drug world... the blue meanies are all of the meth users and cocaine users and generally that sort and the people of pepperland and the beatles represent LSD, Mushrooms, DMT, pot, etc. it really is an amazing touching movie if you watch it all the way thru on acid. we watched it while we were coming up and by the time it was over we were peaking and didnt know how it had happend.. it was amazing... we were all an awesome mood for the rest of the fry.

really watching movies on acid is not that odd... i know tons of people that do it. my friends in alaska used to do it in the winter b/c they couldnt go out and fry... so they would sit around the house drawing and painting and watching movies

 

i havent seen Attic Expeditions on acid either but i plan to. High Intensity is an intense horror movie with a lesbian vibe, very brutal with a great plot and beautiful cinematography. It was made in France and is dubbed.

 

depends on what you mean by odd. it's not out of the ordinary, not unusual; a lot of usual behavior seems odd to me though.

Being indoors on acid is one thing; the activities involved with being indoors wildly vary. A movie is taking in input, writing, painting or music is giving output. Again I'm not rejecting the validity of a movie while tripping, just wanted to point out the distinction.

From everything I know about acid (which I admit isnt a lot based on personal experience), we spend most of our lives seeking input and conceptualizing it with our known perceptions of reality and identity, and acid seems to flip the direction of energy. instead of you gathering input from the known world around you, the acid elicits the pure output from the source within you, and alters your previous perceptions. Movies can do this I suppose to an experienced psychonaut, but writing or painting draws upon the raw power inside and manifests it in the fixed world. They both have a place, but have this fundamental difference.

 

I agree with you that an outpouring of creativity is more beneficial to your state of mind than absorbing an already manifested source of creativity, but the difference pretty much stops there for me. The mind's creative potential is a reflection of God's macrocosmic work, or to put it another way, we copy the manner in which God is active in Her creation. But what is apparent to me, is that the mind can not actually create anything at all. Even our writing, our paintings, our drawings, our music, is just a copy of what is already there for us to experience and reflect on. Our imagination is not actually creation itself, it's just a manipulation and rearrangement of what already exists. The mind can only perceive, interpret, and sense what it exists in, nothing new actually ever comes out of us. Music is already, always has been, and always will be there, we just act as the vessel to channel a certain amount of it in order to experience emotion and to share it with others. So when we sit down and pick up a musical instrument while on LSD and start freestyle jamming, we are not creating music, we are channeling it. We tap into not a source, but a flow, and we move with it, our body parts balance out the waves of which we are composed of. When we imagine visuals, we are just manipulating the sense of perception, but we dont create our visuals. We dont create our sensations period, we just receive them. So any act you decide to do during a trip, is always going to be an act of absorbing and interpreting that which is there for us. We do not create, we play with creation itself.

On that note burnabowl, I've come to realize that if everything we do in this lifetime is meant to push us closer to that state of enlightenment (though I dislike the term), then we can see that enlightenment will and does come from everything we experience. Whether we 'create' art or absorb another's art, we are still able to learn. We may even learn more about ourselves by absorbing another's work in certain situations, though obviously it depends on how attentive we are in the moment. If enlightenment is not a state of knowing everything that can ever be known but rather a state of eternity, an acceptance of the entirety of our reality, the Oneness, the never ending bliss, than everything and anything we do can be seen as equal under the same Light. It is my opinion that enlightenment is not a state of merging into God in the fullest, but rather becoming connected with the Awareness that is everything itself. The Awareness is always around us, it is within us and without us, and is the guiding force, the architect, of the universe on every plane and level. This is what some refer to as Krsna, or Christ consciousness, and the next step (at least I dont believe) can not be attained until the bodily host for the condensed Awareness is cut off from the soul. If a sort of consciousness, the Awareness, descended upon the Earth and inhabited itself within trillions of seperate life forms, the liberation comes from tapping into the Source of it all.
I apologize for spouting my opinion here as if it were an objective fact and cutting short before I can make my point crystal clear, but Im high on oxycodone at the moment and need to run to the store. Hopefully I can return to this matter tonight and finish my point, but until then,
Namaste my friend.

 

hahahah, you cool bastard. you're totally right and I know this because i've recently experienced a lot of what you said. thanks for breaking that down.

 

I don't like any screens when I'm tripping but a friend of mine said that if you watch Sin City on acid, you can't tell whether its drawn or if it has actors.
