I'm going to see Alice in theaters on shrooms.

Eh, everyone has to feel superior about something. Some feel superior for their humility.

People is funny, aint they?

 

Some people shouldn't trip. That's a given, but there doesn't HAVE to be a "higher cause" in psychedelia. Tripping can be for entertainment or it can be for self-exploration; perhaps both. It's up to the individual to make that decision.

You may trip for different reasons than other people, but thinking that you're somehow special or superior just because you're not doing it for shits and giggles makes you an elitist bitch and you obviously need to check your ego at the door, homeboy.

 

Ok. So? That is how you feel. Of course your not gaining understanding from them. If you treat them as just a drug, thats what they will be. Its subjective man, just as everyone has a right to an opinion.


I feel things are divine, and I would love others to feel that way, but if you wanna eat some mushrooms and laugh your ass off to some hollywood production then be my guest. I can not share your laughter, I would much rather get lost in the woods. Allow nature to stimulate me.

 

Indeed. This applies to both sides of the argument.

 

That's fair enough man. But you misunderstood where I was coming from.

Sometimes, I like to just laugh my ass off and watch movies. You see that as just taking it as a party drug, I don't. I don't use drugs to 'party' anymore. That stopped being fun a long time ago. And since you're not acting like a holier than thou dickhead, I'll explain myself to you.

My mind in every moment of conscious is going a mile a minute. It's part ADHD, part my weird patterns of thought, and part circumstantial. Even if i don't show it I'm generally always very mentally worked up. It's like having a perpetual hard-on. When I have a good trip, it's like my mind is having an earth shattering orgasm, which at once is very enjoyable.. and afterwards I just feel relaxed. It's therapeutic for me to just go there, I feel a very real kinship with that mushroom plane of existence. It feels like home.

But that' the case for a part of my usage. Most of the time I do it for self-exploration. The human mind fascinates me, my own in particular. Mushrooms let me travel to corners on my consciousness that I am not aware of or misunderstand in day to day life. It lets me see what my mind in capable of, so to speak.

And it helps me look at my self and my life from a new perspective. It lets me see what is truly my fault and why. I try as a general rule to be honest with myself, but it's human nature to find ways to rationalize and lie to yourself to protect your ego. I don't like that, I want to know exactly what is going on in my head, I want to understand and love myself honestly.

Is that so selfish? It's surly not hedonistic like you've implied.

Edit: And it is a drug, but that doesn't mean to me what it does to you. It's a drug that is capable of both good and 'evil'. And I recognize that. I don't believe that within its self it is either good or evil. It is just a substance.

The only things that are truly good or evil are human ideas. And we have a way of projecting them onto things...

 

Said good. I like to laugh and good time. I don't want to know myself anyore.I like to leave my shit behind and have a good time.how can you not have a good time if your state of mind is grounded?

 

Actually, I've had the nic name "wildman" since high school for good reasons. No one or myself knows what I'm gonna do next. And i like that. Grass don't grow under my feet. I move all the time. Though 15yrs I did own my own home while my kids were small. And they are like little me's. haha I have been dosing since I was 13. never would I change much. And it has always been for intertainment.

 

That totally contradicts what you said before. It seems that you have gained ALOT of understanding from mushrooms. I think the "delusion" is the delusion that they dont aid in understanding and spiritual growth.

 

I like the way you've handled yourself in here, and what you've said as well. Good job. :cheers2:


EDIT: Damn I wasn't to the end of the thread, I don't know what happened there. Guess I'll read it all now since I see some lengthy posts.

 

No it doesn't. We just don't exactly see eye to eye. It doesn't have to be one extreme end of the spectrum or its polar opposite. There is a vast middle ground. It's not "Either you treat the mushroom as a direct link to god/ultimate truth of the universe or you're just a druggie who likes to get high"

 

I think the important thing to consider here is Sam's signature.
Where the hell did you get that incredible piece of work?

 

Hey man, Im not one to argue, and maybe we dont see eye to eye. But that sure sounds like some understanding to me. Maybe tim leary was right about somethings you know?

 

Not saying it isn't possible. It's just not how I perceive it.

 

Jan Svankmajer, google/youtube him. He describes things through art that there aren't words for.

 

Paitence

 

Well it didn't change anything, but I could of sworn I was quoting the most recent post.

And a word of advice, right click to make the red line disappear and you'll find yourself corrected.

 

Man I've had the same idea since I heard the movies coming out! I have planned this quite carefully. In 3 days, the 5th, I'm taking an 8th of mushrooms 15 minutes before the movie. Before I take the shrooms I am also planning on hitting up some DMT and possibly take a hit of acid.. I'll let you guys know how it went =)

 

Awhaaaa?

 

I don't think DMT and movies would go together that well, personally.

 

Ive never combined shrooms with acid, or acid with dmt, or shrooms with dmt.

Hope you enjoy yourself though my dude, be sure to share details!
