What exactly is "tripping"?

When I first did acid my views of tripping out had drastically changed. I was a frequent weed smoker and I found that pot made me hazy and clouded my senses. Acid on the other hand made me appreciate my senses and the world around me (fresh air, good health, fearless and so on..).

So my question to you hipsters is this.. Does tripping out mean that your totally gone, hallucinating and thinking crazy things or going into a new state of mind such as clear thinking?

 

i think more of the "new state of mind" aspect of it.
it's all about the way you see things, not so much clouding of the senses.

 

tripping: When you go from one place to another.

 

When your walking or running and your foot catches on something and you lose your balance and fall down go boom.
Thats tripping.

 

Take three hits of WoW and find out.

 

Take 3 hits of BoB and forget.

 

Pretty much.

If you want to reduce your chances you should tie your shoelaces more often. I know you youngsters like that hippity hop and it's untied shoes.

 

Who you callin' a youngster, sonny.
I trip over my walker more often then my shoelaces.
Damn!, I just blew out my hip again!

 

when i say "im tripping out" to someone, I -always- mean that it is in some way an "incapacitating" high, if only for the ego. if I am put into a state of supreme lucidity and clarity in all things, which I feel aMT produces reliably at 20mg, i would probably not even remark on it at all or i would just give a very approving glance at whoever i would have otherwise spoken, the glance being about the quality of the subjective effects I am experiencing.

 

when you actually yell out 'im trippin balls ahahahah"

 

this is pretty accurate to what i feel.

 

i am of the opinion that one of the greatest realizations you can have while tripping is that you're not going anywhere.

 

^Yea you're going right here, the great journey to the self.

Now to answer the original question. There are different parts of the trips, and all parts have there purpose.

The first part of the trip is like the trippy mind altering part, the part where your seeing crazy stuff, and thinking crazy things. This is all for you to witness your mind, and your thought process, to spark your creativity energy, to ask what the mushrooms are trying to show you, and so that all of that can be transcended.

Then the peak is the clear state of mind with new thinking. I love how clear everything gets during the peak, your visuals turn high def like, your thoughts are so clear, no chatter in the mind, just single clear thoughts. This is the part of the trip used for transcending the mind. This is what tripping to me is about. This is the most crucial influential part because this is when the trip becomes "magical". Use this part of the trip to meditate, and see into the self.

Then the last part of the trip is the reflection process. Reiterating what you just experienced and learned in the trip and implanting it into your mind. Living out the rest of the trip as the new and improved you. This is where you get the freedom to play around with the end of the trip, figure out how this will incorporate into everyday life.

So i say the most important part is the middle, but all parts are important.

 

really?

 

Then you're already there! :cheers2:

 

Haha .. Amen to that..

 

so what does that mean?

 

nirvana?

 

where is there to go? youre not going anywhere when you trip, youre just putting on some molecular goggles and seeing the world through them for a while. it's still this world.

 

But your thoughts travel.
