lsd and meditation go together like peanut butter and jelly. god is all, all is one mediatate on lsd and you will see a world beyond you and me.
It is beyond in that it is unaffected by you and me as self concepts of body and personality for it is unchanging and constant but at the same time it makes up all that is you and me and all that we see
so anyone hear of the 18 year old kid who sat under a tree and meditated for 3 years with no food or water, supposedly hes the reincarnation of buddha.
I would personally say im spiritual but every trip i take i see more and more why there could be one god but at the same time how there could not be one at all, lately ive been leaning towards there has to be.
like the individual atoms that make the whole of me or you, we are the same way to god, he is everything, and we are apart of him, we make up him, we may not influence is actions in this point in time, but that makes us no less important. everything has there place, just like those little atoms do, without them we wouldn't be. that is why we must all do all part so that we can better the whole.
it is something i have seen, something i have studied and put the pieces together. i had an experience of the divine, and with that experience and studying the experiences of others i have gathered enough information to say with confidence that there is something beyond our perception, and behind it all is this god like consciousness system. but why listen to me, why we can all see it for ourselves, all you have to do is break through, break on through to the other side.
We can never know, for God(or anyway you would like to put it) is above the mind and thus above the concepts created within the mind. We can only experience God by being content and still and accepting the truth of reality instead of creating our own realities by our concept of our selfish mind-body-personality concepts. The only reason that I continue to write these ideas is because of the experiences I have witnessed which is why I have come to believe these ideas to be the greatest truth but at the same time even these ideas are only relative to our social/body concepts within the mind that desire to know. Truly it can not be known, God is simply above all of these things because he/it created all of them.
that is true, what is beyond us is just that, beyond us. god is beyond our intellect, we can only really touch on the fundamental elements of how it works and what it is. this is why we take psychedelics though, to take down the boundaries that limit our perception, to have sight beyond sight, and see what is truly lies beneath the surface of reality.
That is a wonderful reason to take psychedelics and the only reason that I use them. But I must stress that it is not only under the influence of psychedelics that this awareness is visible, it is always there all the time and is as simple as experiencing the experience rather than existing as the experience and living in ignorance of the Self.
I believe that we all stem from one consciousness. God is merely a concept which we apply to understand this eternal consciousness and things such as music, psychedelic drugs and meditation are an attempt at a return to this eternal consciousness.
When I meditate on acid, i see all these patterns and i can explore them. its like as i move through the patterns i am exploring different sections of my mind, and all these thoughts start flowing at incredible speed, as if they are flooding from my unconcious. it can almost be overwhelming, but when i open me eyes, everything is clearer. Now, i can do the same thing without acid but the patterns are harder to see. its great because i can revisit parts of my trip through meditation.
I share your view of God. While my first experience with spirituality was in the christian church, I find that the 'oneness' is much broader. For me, limiting myself to a singular philosophy does not provide me the bandwidth I require to explore who I am... who we are. The closest I've ever returned to 'organized religion' would be Universal Unitarian. It is through that organization that I learned about Buddhism; and hinduism; and first understood that this 'oneness' or human connection is absolutely a reality. It is through these experience that I ultimately learned about the world of Psychedelics. Now... now it is 15 years later.
im glad you have experienced this oneness that we are all apart of. always remember that the greatest truth is found from deep within ourselves.
