LSD and psychic power.

No. You'll become a dead animal in a cage with shit in your pants, for God's love is eternal and infinite in nature.

 

When you stop looking you'll have found it

 

when I used to be in NA and AA God was our higher power. The guy who invented the AA 12 step principles was a result of prescribed theraputic lsd use to quit alcohol.

AA Steps


1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

 

So they say.
That may be correct in a philosophical sense (we already have everything we need inside of us, so what is there to look for)
but on the level of practicality, we are here for a reason, and here involves experiences that inevitably lead us somewhere else.
A path
A lesson
A look
A future

 

Here leads you to here

 

My english teacher has yet another beautiful quote...."The Obstacle is the Path"

edit- One of my most favorite teachers, makes me want to become one..

 

Also i just read all of the previos posts before the 12step one...And that cycle ended for me, How?Because i relized it made me tired

 

don't believe it

 

What do you mean?...I thought everyone was talking about how the mind was a universe inside of a mind etc...Wouldnt that be considered a cycle of thoughts?...If so, i stopped thinking so much about that because i realized how much time it took to do so

 

Universe is external manifestation of mind
a perfect reflection
for all to see

 

So the mind is the opposite...Ahh i see haha

 

theres no such thing as giving up. your either progressing or digressing. human beings are unable to plateau, if your not moving your stagnant. if your uncounsious of whether your progressing or digressing, your digressing

(i dont think i spelled digressing right, guess i dont know that one right now)

 

its degressing. but good words man.

 

no, they are the same.

 

knowledge

 

The sun seems to be the only process that drives life.

perhaps there is some other metaphysical sun that shines light onto all of our consciousnesses? That feeds them all with the necessary outside influence

 

I see what you meant now...Before i didnt understand

 

i don't believe this for a moment. not all progress is made with self-righteous awareness. in fact i would go as far as to say that very little of it is.

 

Thats true, a lot of progress is behind the scenes, but its a good rule to live by, when in doubt, you could do better

 

i hear ya, and the truth is, the backslide is progress in its own way in hindsight. what i was trying to get at is, if your not working on yourself, your being worn down.
