What exactly is "tripping"?

i always feel as though im am about to be shifted to another dimension on lsd

 

your thoughts are always "here"

 

Tripping for me is being enlightened.

It means shoveling away the bullshit of modern society and being able to see my town, my state, my country, my world, my universe, and beyond in an instant. For the duration of my trip, I understand everything. Everything flows together, working in tandem. The objective of everything isn't to better itself, it's just to exist and flow. It's a wonderful feeling being connected on the grand scheme of thing.

Tripping has changed my perspective on life more in 6 hours than my 13.5 years of schoolin' has ever done.

Taking drugs isn't about getting high anymore, it's about reaching a greater understanding of the universe on a massive scale, not on an earthly scale.

Living suddenly isn't about amassing great wealth anymore, it's a personal quest for knowledge.

 

I think this is a good question.

To me, I think what distinguishes a trip from some other experience (drug related or otherwise) is that you are suddenly shifted in conciousness. You are looking through two new eyes, with a fresh perspective on your life experience.
A new fresh look at your body, your thoughts, your subconscious.
By gaining this new perspective on life instead of experiencing life using your normal patterns and habitual thought processes, you gain insight into how you normally live and think and are able to examine it from a new vantage point.
If things go well, you can use this new perspective to learn about yourself and your life experience which can be applied when you aren't tripping.

It's like being born again and experiencing the world without preconceptions. Almost like being childlike, but with an adult's life experience.

(Hallucinating or a body high, etc. can help force you to see things in a new way, but it's really what's going on in your mind that's the amazing thing.)

I love tripping.

 

Above two posts pretty much summarize how I define tripping aswell.
It's almost as the normal functions of the mind & body have returned. Your senses heightened and also your brainpower. It's only too bad that alot of people use tripping in the same context as drunk or hallucinating.

As much as I hate words if you label something people immidaitely store it in a certain shelf inside their mind. So you tell em I'm tripping on acid they will think your seeing the mad hatter, elephants, and trees talking to you. Although that would be awesome aswell

 

then "here" is everywhere.

Tripping on Acid, it's like drinking Sierra Mist (tm)!

 

Absolutely!

Where ever I go, there I am. My thoughts have more freedom though.
