ego loss/realizations

Waking up.

 

wow dude, come to think of it, i remember some staff were administering I.V. to a dude a couple of cots down from me when i was still coming to...shit man that could have been your ass! lol. yeah that tool show was some HEAVY shit. i literally lost my shit too (more ways than one), but yeah i actually lost some of my shit, my whole backpack actually. hehe.

 

... OOOOOOOOHHHHSSSSHHHHIIIIIIIIIItitititittitbabababububublehblehweetweetweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrtat...!

 

the hoarding of knowledge is like the hoarding of precious jewels - a vain and foolish thing.

 

Really awesome thread

 

thanks grinners, i find people really enjoy sharing their greatest experiences of ego loss or realizations. thought it would be good for the community.

 

couldn't agree more; feel free to ramble people.

 

what is "it"

 

Yeah....super duper metaphor, but I gotta disagree.
Personalized experiences and the interpretation of them don't count as "knowledge" to me. Some acid story really isn't the same as 1+1=2.

Besides, how is it "hoarding" if someone doesn't want to share their personal experience because they feel they can't truly express it?

 

i don't know why your constantly disagreeing with everything i say on these forums man. you need to go eat some acid or something. lol. :deadxmas:

an acid story might be more like 2+7 = 47, so when you explain it then it might not make sense but you can still pick out the bits of knowledge that resonate with your current karma, no?

if you truly feel like you can't truly express your experience then i didn't mean to offend. some of these things are highly personal. but generally i feel like even an incomplete report is more useful than no report at all. you never know if you don't try, but i'm not here to say that you should try.

probably alot. but in a good way, maybe?

funny you guys should say this, i had some friends that i'm pretty sure were doing medical work at the 'roo '07.... i'll have to ask around.

but among other stories of ego loss are two of my acid trip reports -- the one i already mentioned and 'One Scoop Past Full (trip report)', and then there was one in the salvia forums called 'Eclipse of the Soul (trip report)'

there, that oughta keep you busy for a while... if your interested (the numbers are the order in which they happened)

 

what? weren't you the one that quoted me and apparently tried to call me out or something?
At first I wasn't going to reply to this because I don't really have anything to say, but what you said up there bugs me. I was just explaining why I said what I said, I don't disagree with you just to do so Desos. I don't antagonize you, but I'm definitely not going to agree with something just to avoid hurting someone's feelings, especially when they quote me first lol.
If I disagree it's because I disagree, what can I say?

Yeah maybe.
Basically my thing was a response to the guy that said the thread was only getting "shit replies" or something like that.

 

ah sorry. i felt like you were responding to my ego loss post since you posted right after that. that's good, you shouldn't agree with something to avoid hurting ppl's feelings lol. welp looks like it was my misunderstanding, sorry.

sometimes it just feels like you are lurking in the shadows waiting for me to post and then disagreeing with me, lmao. :smilielol5: but you have a right to disagree, and nothing should go unchallenged. not trying to invalidate your opinions.

namaste

 

Just the ego lying spread out in the hallway, we tend to trip over it.

 

Desos, if it makes you feel any better, I disagree with pretty much everything you say as well, I've just gotten tired of posting it. <3

 

<3

although i'd love to hear what you have to say, i guess that arguing with me is kind of like trying to drive a toy truck into a brick wall. sorry for that, lol. don't be afraid to shoot! even bricks can be torn down.

 

the thing we argue about are not things you can convince someone of through vocal argument. they must have an experience which changes things to come to a different understanding.

 

yep probably. but that still doesn't make either one of us more right

 

We just keep spitting seeds. You never know when a shooting star will appear in observing the night sky.

 

i realized my ego is like..a clearing that society made in the middle of a jungle and my true self was beyond the clearing into the jungle hidden somewhere. and i was led to a weird dimension.. .with no purpose no meaning just being.idk its kinda hard to explain

 

i didn't imply anything in that post other than our differences of opinion are not resolvable through language.
