whats all this shit dissing soaring eagle. he has some farking amazing advice. he is a very wise man from stuff i read. funny just tonight i went to see a friend that i had been doing drugs with and well now i havent been seeing them cause iv changed alot and have this girlfriend and see her alot on weekends, and he tells me how they said id gone skitzophrenic. farking bastards. i woudnt say so at all. just changed alot.
Peter Popper - have you read 'be here now' by ram dass yet??? how about the psychedelic experience by timothy leary???,,, read them and learn to meditate. you have to find a healthy view of what lsd is. thats what soaringeagle's problem is - because of his life experience he has a very unhealthy view of what lsd is. taking advice from someone who does not use lsd anymore is dangerous. if they saw a true benefit to using lsd they would still be using it! moderation is key!
3X1 - with all my love and deepest sincerity... along with your frequent expressions of love and compassion, your occassional displays of arrogance, over-inflated ego, delusion and self-authoritative judgements are also true blessings to me. I THANK YOU FOR THAT. Now before you get your defenses up and unsheath your battle sword, please know that I really mean this from the bottom of my heart. "Sarcasm" is not my intention at all here. In fact, just the opposite. I truly believe that everything you post is absolutely valid and truly enlightening in it's own unique way. You provide a worthy "example" for me to learn and grow from, and just as important... you are also a "human mirror" which reflects the fact that, on occassion, I too am also capable of displaying those same positive and negative qualities. Namaste.
I was just saying that he probably would not agree with the advice that I was giving you. The fact is that you take lots of drugs all the time, then struggle with the effects. My advice was pragmatic, and I suggested that if you are going to be doing all this stuff anyway, change it up often so you you don't get too fried on any one drug. If you're taking advice from Soaringeagle, I think you'll be doing well, because he would probably tell you to sober the fuck up and never touch anything but weed again (not to put words in his mouth). Honestly, I don't think that's the path you're heading down, but if it is, great! That said, Soaringeagle has in the past replied to some of my posts in a very condescending, unrealistic, and grumpy (not to mention, barely literate) manner and once jumped in a post to 'set me straight' for suggesting that humans are at the top of the food chain.
so you dont think that the mind of somone who has been straight, then taken alot of acid and had those experiences, and then stopped and come out of it and gained a new overall perspective in straight life doesnt have good advice? compared to someone who is still using the drug, and is still in a 'fantasy' world. everyone has differnt advice, and perhaps the advice from somone who has been there and come out of it and stopped with a new perspective is more landed and is more liable to give alot better advice, and you guys who are still in a fantasy world just dont want to accept it. i may be wrong but if you just brush this off than you are in a fantasy world.
That is a very wise and accurate realization PP. I'm really happy for you. Unfortunately, many young people get too lost and caught up in the psychedelic game (or method). If abused, lsd quickly morphs itself into just another "escape drug" of which many can easily become psychologically dependent on ("denial" of this fact is a classic sign of dependency), rather than acting as a positive spiritual tool for helping to cultivate a higher conciousness, peace of mind, and an overall healthy balance in life. Just like most everything else in nature, LSD is both equally positive and equally negative. It's a fine line to walk. But if you always remain foccussed on the middle path ... you will be just fine. Best wishes.
Honestly, it sounds like you're looking for someone to tell you to sober the fuck up before you ruin your life. That is probably the safest route to go. In general, I haven't really done that myself, but there have been extended periods of months where all I've had is beer. I advocate a balanced approach to intoxication that minimizes the risk, and my 2 happy, healthy, overindulged kids, wife, and hundreds of students that I teach don't seem to be affected by my 'fantasy'. I'm optimistic and feel free to say and do what I want. My life is not fucked up, and I continue to improve things. Typically, I don't even drink beer or anything until everyone's asleep anyway. I feel crazy, but I've always been a bit nutty. I've had six friends die from drugs or drug-related suicides, and some are in jail for a long time too. Who knows what will happen to you?
im clean. i have stopped taking all drugs. i only drink for the past 2 months or somthing. i smoked weed once tho and smoked mushrooms once last week. but thats it. which is probably why im talking on these forums again a bit. but my life is good. if i was skizo how could i hold down a beautiful latino girlfriend, a job, and be passing my college shit so i can be a cop. yeah im a cop next year. and anyway, just cause im in this state of mind now, doesnt mean my psychdelic use is over. i mean its called taking a break, perhaps tryin again in months or years to come at a much much more wise level. so those who say iv ruined it and shit thats bullshit. lsd can make your ego way to big, and make you think your realisations and point of view is the right way. when i did acid i found it made me think like that. and whilst at the same time your saying how open minded you are, its obvious in these forums how close minded acid can make you in a way. from my own experiences reflecting on it, and by reading other peoples in this new perspective.
my world is no fantasy. you are very confused. that is your problem, you think that psychedelic drugs bring you to a fantasy or fake reality when in fact they bring you closer in touch with reality. you should probably just stick to the booze for the rest of your life. i dont say this because i think it is good for you, i say this because i feel sorry for you and figure that alcohol is probably the best way to waste the rest of your life in a way that you can easily justify. maybe we wont have to read about your constant lack of respect for psychedelic drugs and those who use them any more!
Yeah your right trancedeviate. it must be his path and it's really not my place to get upset with it. I just find that institution to be a complete skullfuck on society. But that is no reason to single out an individual who has no control over any of that at all. I just don't really like cops because they're after the things i do and the people i see. But who do I hurt? how am I obstructing justice? I just like to do my things and I keep to myself. I'm not trying to turn on the world or to make money I just want to have my spiritual practices LEGAL. maybe one day...
Where do you draw the line with this sort of reasoning? For example, back in the early 19th century southern US, if someone chose to be a slave owner would you say "Perhaps that is his proper path". What if someone decides to be a hit man, could this just be their proper path and so we should not speak up about it, or mention that we think they are making a mistake by choosing that line of work? I believe letting someone know that we believe they are making a mistake is the compassionate thing to do. And telling a hit man that perhaps its just his proper path to be a hit man, would be doing him a disservice.
Girls of any race really aren't that hard to hold down, as long as they're not stronger than you. Latinas can be pretty strong though, are you sure she's not holding you down? When you're a cop, are you going to bust people for drugs? It's kind of in the job description... This revelation is unsettling for a number of reasons.
you are probably the person i am talking about most. firstly just because you think there is somthing wrong with drinking alchole, doesnt make it so. i enjoy alchole on a once a weekend basis, and it is allways fun and never leads to any problems. you had bad things happen to you cause of alchole when you were young i think i remember, maybe you cant handle your alchole and your a dick when you drink, maybe you need some councilling on the matter. and if your so in denial about how lsd blurs the boundary of fantasy and reality. i dont know. i discovered on lsd that i had woken up out of a dream. sure it was great and i thought the same shit as you. but months later with no lsd use you will see things differntly. lsd makes you more intune with reality. perhaps it does. i thought it did, maybe somthing happend to me. anyway its all still a jumble up here. who knows. but cant you see out of your "close-minded" perspective at all? are you that stuck in that beleif that you find there to be no probable way that alchole may be good for some and that maybe lsd does blue fantasy and reality? i thought you were open minded. and i dont see anything wrong with being a police officer. some of my friends have said similar shit to yous, and i have allways stayd strong, and am going to archieve my goal. so fuck everyone. i have wanted to a cop since in primary school. my reason is cause it isnt a shitty desk job sitting at computers all my life, and its not a shitty aprenticship like building or some crap, its an active job, my mind will be kept sharp and busy. the cops deal with the skum druggies. you guys shouldnt have a problem if yous just doing acid n mushies and shit. so whats the big deal. without police where would society be, seriously. think about this shit. fuck.
Popper have you seen a movie called Waking Life? If you haven't I highly suggest you do, I think you'd like it.
i just took a look. it looks like a pretty good trippy movie. my torrent download site isnt working for some reason unfortantly. ill find another one.
