Sanity

But dont worry because i think so too lol

 

yep. You're nucking futs!

 

Smooth,real smooth....lmao

 

I may not be a very smart man........... But I know what love is.

 

My definition of insane, is if you worry about whether you're sane or not

 

when i went to uni i did a psychology subject, and what lsd does is close to what schizophrenia is like...

a schizophrenic has blurred conscious and sub conscious and guess what, thats what lsd does.
the more lsd u do, the more u blur the two.
and its called being insane.
i had a psychotic time after i did 12 hits in a week, i was out and had a few drinks when i became crazy, talking to myself, trying to drive away without the keys, and had to be restrained and carried to bed saying i was goin to buy everyone flowers. but yeah.

 

Is Lucy sane?

 

That was a magnificent point

 

I wouldn't worry too much about being labelled insane by the standards of a sick society.

There's no universal definition of insanity, it's all very subjective as, like burn said, we consider others by our own measures. I consider myself the sanest person on the planet, but I know many people would disagree, some more than others.

 

ur not goin insane unless ur having psychotic episode, delusions, exessive paranoa, and hearing voices.... otherwise ur just fried and on the verge of goin insane or having a psychotic break.

id do anything to unblur my consciounss and subconscious...

 

Ok. Stand on your head and flap your arms.

 

like bird

 

Forgive me for saying this Pete, but you abused acid. I mean, there was a long while on these forums where you were heavy into drugs, and even other posters half a world a way who have never even shook your hand were concerned about your well-being and state of mind, that's how heavily you were using these substances. And now you come back from the brink, from your own misuse, and make sweeping statements about acid in general, comparing it to insanity and schizophrenia. I think it's safe to say that acid can be a powerful spiritual tool Pete, but when you abuse something, you are going to get burned.

 

Well if you were anyone else I would tell you do eat some LSD. There may not be any help for you though. I hope there is, but if I were you, I would mentally come to terms with the fact that you will always be like this from now on.

 

i just try and take a look at what lsd really does to people.

i know it makes for some awsum things up in the head, but i dont think me or anyone of my friends who have taken acid have benefited from it. i dont really think albert hoffmen did either.

lsd can be a key to spritualness, but what is spiritualness. i think have beleifs in things that arent proven or physically reall is stupid. but thats merely my opinion.

the one thing u have to be aware of is that no matter how much you or I beleive in somthing, it doesnt make it real. ok remember that.

i actualy beleive we are too unevolved to possibly figure out what we are doing here in this world.... lsd makes us question it more, but its only just imagination, and it ends up hurting the brain.
lsd does open doors and does make u question things more.
and inteligence is questioning....all of the prodigy kids just constantly are asking questions, because they are so smart they want to know more.
lsd makes us ask questions we arent ready for.

 

which brigns the question, should we be running around taking lsd seeing things and asking questions we just possibly cant understand, putting our minds into overdrive. lsd has made me smart in many ways. dont get me wrong i dont always want to diss acid, im just trying to figure it all out myself still.

and its true, people who use lsd have seen things that non acid trippers havent, and understand things on another level, making non-acid trippers think were nuts.



There is a reason why we are here that is more profound than the wildest trip. It is the answer to this, that and everything.

 

I can tell you for a fact that I have benefited from it. There's actually a thread going on where people are talking about what they have gained from LSD.

So, your reality is defined by things that you consider "physically real". In other words, if you can't point to it, then it doesn't exist right? So where is your consciousness, where are values, where are morals, where are concepts, where is justness, where is truth, where is love? Do these things not exist? They aren't physical.
What you are talking about is the modernist paradigm that came about during the Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution. This has given us the whole "mapmaker" worldview, that is, the perspective that states if you can't point to it then it isn't real. It's called the mapmaker worldview because these people set out to create empirical, scientific evidence and advancements by interacting with reality, and these give us great technological benefit, yes, but the whole problem with the mapmaker ideology is that it completely leaves out the mapmaker. Thus, we wake up in a hollow world with no values, just simple physical things that we can point to with no meaning. I think belief is a lot more important than you are giving credit for, Pete.

If you can ask the question, then you are ready for the answer. Knowing what question to ask is half the battle.
BTW - I sincerly hope you don't mean what you said about imagination hurting the brain.

 

That shit teacher lessons bro, some harsher than others

edit-teaches

edit-i also forgot how great of lesson it can teach

 

well it taught me a lesson, sorry i keep re-posting

 

Yeah i like the idea peter has about how it blurrs you conscious and sub conscious. It seems to really do that and if you take little bits on a normal basis for a while, then you start to learn how to always use your subconcious in all situations. And that right there is learning how to use more of your mind than you ever could. The subconcious has all the answers that you need in life, it has all of the good and evil.
I agree with what peter is saying in a sense. But moreso i do think that lsd teaches us the things that matter most. I mean it is just a drug, and from the perspective of the person not on it, it's just making the person feel special and giving them false realizations. It all depends on the perspective of what you goals are in life. If you think what matters most is advancing society and making the world cleaner then lsd isn't worth jack shit. If you want to experience different perspectives and ways to experience anything to whole new level, especially if it's a fun thing, then drugs like lsd are the answer. Just like anything though, the more you experience it, the more repetitive it gets, so that's why the most brilliant people try to be productive in every way they can by helping their own self and helping the world and others.
