Yesterday i was reading some dmt experiences and i came across an interesting one apparently at one point in the dmt trip this guy had a thought rush through his head that he said he couldnt control, it wasnt like a thought it was pure knowledge, and this happens to me sometimes when im peaking hard on LSD anyways acid has had me really confused lately and i couldnt figure out what the hell was happening to me during my trips but this quote really helped me to understand all the weird shit that was happening to me "Sometimes, the forces of the yin and yang are speaking to each other through the inner flows of one's soul. People often mistake these messages as something that was meant for them. So they 'tighten up', actively trying by force to grab ahold of these messages, and thus cutting off the flow, creating a great inbalance."
I think I'm in the same place as you man, I just had an incredibly WEIRD acid experience the other night (which I will probably do a write-up on soon). For the first half, it was really hard to deal with and I felt like I wasn't tripping, and I kept trying to make myself trip in anyway possible. Then I had a realization that I couldn't really make myself trip, I had to go with the flow and let the acid do it's thing. Anyways, good quote!
i do like the quote, but words can really only take you so far and sustain you so much before it's just a matter of, is it actualized or not?
embodying our realizations. if i were to only understand intellectually that love and kindness towards everyone is mutually beneficial to myself and others it would just be a realization. if i practise this kind of behavior it would be virtuous action.
