LSD is like Magic...

To be the ground...the stars...the water...the air...the everything...is to truly be
on LSD...You realize who you are...who your friends are...and what the world is...there is no way to explaine what you feel when your fully there, but it is worth one night of your life that lasts forever...I hope this gives noob trippers a thing to look for inside but it probly wont...the only real advice...forget you took it...and just go with it...

 

life is magic
LSD helps you see that

 

my life has so much magic, that im about to magic all over my friends face hahahah lol!!!

ya man. i cant wait till i get my hbwr!!

 

Another tripper trying to advise others and explain what LSD is.
Yet again.. it's an individual thing.
You can't preach LSD.

The ONLY piece of advice is take the ticket, live the ride. Experience is knowledge, but only for you.

Everyone will form their own conclusions and ideas, so saying things like 'you realise who you are... who your friends are' is utter toss.

 

Tonight is going to be pretty magical for me.

 

I envy you.

 

Im getting 3 doses of some micky mouse blotter its going to be so great i havn't been able to get any for 2 years.

 

but him saying you realize who you and your friends are is not defining conclusions. I think he deliberately left out those personal details. his statement left plenty of room for the individual tripper to insert his own conclusions about what exactly ppl are etc. his only actual "preaching" is saying forget you took the cid and go with it. serious dogma right? why are u so quick to accuse?

 

because I for one do not automatically 'realise who i am' while tripping.
if anything, maybe i'll pick up on a symbolism of what i am.
neither do i give much contemplation towards who my true friends are while on acid.

okay so preaching was the wrong word but there's so many generalisations that people are shedding on the acid trip in these forums, which ultimately is going to give the inexperienced someone else's idea on a trip - and in my mind this is wrong as nobody cannot be told what acid is like, or understand what it does do you and how that feels unless they have a go themselves.

apologies for snappiness.

 

I think your reasons for protesting are sound, as well as the notion that each trip and each tripper is different. anything that can be said after a trip is valid, since tripping is limitless and if it exists or doesn't exist, it's consistent with acid. to me each voice is another thread in the psychedelic tapestry and the more voices the more interwoven depth of experience, even if it's redundant or self-aggrandizing. as for beginning trippers, I think it's just as helpful to read about connections with earth, ground and sky as anything else. if they don't trip in that manner maybe they'll conclude there's more than one way to trip rather than "acid just makes u go nuts and see stuff for 12 hours and I wanted it to end after a while..." and proclaim this to be the acid experience.

 

I can see where you're coming from and I partially agree.
There's just a correlation between sharing information/experiences and then the possibility of that getting misinterpreted and taken literally by someone else who has no experience; and maybe using the experience of an experienced as a guide towards their forthcoming experience. In turn, who knows - this could eventually be the root of a bad trip for some; as they're following someone else's line of tripping instead of finding their own feet in the acid World. I rarely see detailed accounts of first heavy trips; the feeling of rebirth into an alien World; getting to grips (familiarising yourself) with the repeated entering of that mystical state - whatever it means to you at the time; and, ultimately, gaining the confidence to return to this state of emotional imbalance and broadened perception in order to LEARN things.. maybe about yourself, maybe about what exists inside and outside of the world - but it's all in connection with communicating with YOUR OWN central nervous system; and so how can I or someone else possibly try to explain what I/They've found out when we are ALL different people with different beliefs, perceptions, lifestyles, etc.. - and that's before even thinking about the fact that the substance itself effects different people in different ways.

Maybe I did jump on the bandwagon a bit though; hence the apology.

You see, I put acid on a pedestal. I treat the substance with respect and use it as a tool as opposed to a buzz drug. There's taking acid and there's USING acid. Many get excited and try for fun. Many don't give it the time of day in the weeks that follow; regardless of the fact it's obviously 'there'. Many don't actually process the trip in a sober state; and in my opinion that's where the acid casualties begin.

..because these people aren't ready, no matter how much they think they are;
and if they are taking it to induce a state of euphoria and have fun, maybe even gain a fundamental sense of complete and utter understanding; the self proclaimed 'I know everything!' - then chances are they'll fall.

Acid will show you the way; not people.

 

if a person is really of the disposition to base his trip off one experience report, he would've based his trip off anything he's previously heard about acid, whether it was through the grapevine or from the web. if a person is going to read others reports and still trip uniquely and transcendently, he'll read as many reports as possible and it will enhance his trip, for at least this one reason: he'll have an understanding of conditions that led to either a poor or transcendent trip. He won't expect the same trip but he'll understand how to avail a great one of his own, and the more comments from firsthand accounts the better, even if they are authoritative or dogmatic. The inner spirit that makes for quality tripping also exists in the person who doesn't take what they read as doctrine, but as one voice of many, equally valid. To put it simpler, I don't think what we tell each other really effects how well or how poorly we trip, it's more or less mental masturbation, a form i find just as fun as actual masturbation.

 

Score.

 

I take acid as a way of life...a way to get to know myself better...to understand life better...the fact that its a good time is just a plus...and honestly anyone who would judge me by giving my opinion on how i feel best puts LSD in words...your probably exactly what you hate...

 

I see acid as turning on our whole brain, so that multiple parts of our brain start firing at once. however, the brain is designed to create one conscious, one experience, which may be of many things, but nonetheless, at any one time, we have one total experience (or flow/vector of experience). An acid trip, or other psychedelic trips, are the result of allowing multiple strains of thought to occur simultaneously whilst reconciling these strains into a single conscious stream of experience.
By turning on the brain artificially, we can learn more because the information our experience is drawing from is no longer mediated by your personal focus of value or relevance (the ego). the LSD molecules randomly attatch to neurons in your brain, and thus every trip might turn on new parts of the brain, and as you take more acid, more and more strains of thought coalesce into an amazing unitary consciousness that engulfs everything

so on acid you get to flow your mind through more of your brain but perhaps loose the ability to slow down and focus on one rigid set of assumptions and values and expectations. thus a lot of language based or icon based /symbolic thought and social mechanisms may be difficult to apprehend on acid, whereas freeflowing, aesthetic thought may be enhanced.

 

awesome post Bill, thnx

 

cool ain't it

 

^ hehehe mad hatter
here's advice-

"hang on to your ass"

lsd, its like life man. Life is a learned lesson. There's a whole lotta living in a hit of acid, the rest is up to you.

 

Very true. LSD is the key to the meaning of life <3

 

I have the key. The key is that there is no key. The door is open.

You have the Key. The key is that there is no Key. No Key because there is no lock. No lock because its all inside of you.
