I've never tried DMT or mescaline. In fact, my drug experimenting is finis. All drugs affect me too strongly-- I'm already naturally psychic and taking psychedelics is putting gas on a fire. I know enough people burnt out from these drugs.
That's probably a good decision to stop if you've found safer ways to get to the same place. How did psychedelics affect your natural psychic abilities?
Well, if someone says they are a psychic, I'm not going to argue. That would be ignorant, not knowing any better than they would. And why would I deny what someone else experiences?
I have time now, I'm done working for the week, so I'll tell you of my shroom trip. I had previously taken acid and found it intense, but managable-- in other words, I was incredibly high, but could deal with it-- I still knew I was in this world, this reality, on this earth. I did acid 3 times, never had a bad trip, never really hallucinated-- I had a semblance of control. And... the first trip was in SF in 1967--Owlsley's Purple Haze! When I was about 50, I tried shrooms. A friend sold me a bag and told me it was enough for 2 trips. Naturally, I ate the whole bag, and washed it down with beer (which was probably not good-- the beer, that is.) In 15 minutes I felt it coming on, but it wasn't like an acid rush. It was more like an ominious freight train coming, and I could sense it was bearing an evil load. Boom! That quick the world changed-- I felt an electric humming, then I was somewhere else in time and space. I wasn't scared--I still knew I was me and high-- but the world had become different. I walked on my front porch and the barn up the road had become an Aztec pyramid where human sacrifices where about to be performed. This, of course, was unsettling, so I went back in the house, where I temporarily came down. I felt like I was extremely high on hash, but within a few minutes, I felt myself losing contact with reality again, so I walked out the back door. There, in May, I saw the whole world covered in ice and I sensed I was in Viking hell and the world was ending. This, of course, was disturbing, so I went inside. I was getting freaked, so I called my oldest daughter and asked her if I was still alive. She assured me I was, volunteered to come out, but I said I was all right. Then, after I hung up, the visions (and, they were coming in waves) began, and my living room was transpired to Vincent Van Gogh's bedroom in Arles where he died a suicide.. It was still my room, but it looked like he painted it.Hmmmm. Then, the visions abated, briefly, and I knelt to pet my beagle. She looked over my shoulder at something and began quavering violently. I must admit-- that sort of scared me-- the dog saw something I couldn't see. I walked into the kitchen, which transformed into a vast desert. There, I saw an old Indian woman, who I instantly knew was the goddess of mushrooms, sitting near a cactus with her back turned to me. Then, I knew what had happened: I had taken too many mushrooms when I was drinking and not shown proper respect to their power. Soon, I came down, but for about 3 hours afterwards, it was like being wrecked on hash, which I do not like. I don't think I'll ever do psycheldelics again-- I was warned. During my acid trips, I always knew who I was and where I was. On shrooms, I had brief respites of lucidity, but I knew when the next wave hit-- and, it's instantaneously-- I would not only lose control, but forget I was me. And... that can be truly horrifying. If I hadn't taken acid before, I may have gone insane. Stay away from shrooms, at least an overdose.
Mushrooms changed my personality. I have always been this polite "nice" person, without daring to show who i really am, because i felt that i was afraid to "reveal" myself, my REAL self. By taking them (i just took a light dose) i just did what i felt, said what i thought (ha ha ha , not fun fun for everybody, but they needed to hear it) and had this amazing nice buzz inside my body, specially while listening to psychedelic (but not hard) music. Any kind of good music sounds really great....... It's like my personal growth, which stopped at around 12 yrs old, could continue, like the blockage i had at that time just lifted and i could remember how it was to be this other me, that was so much more cool and open...... I would say: try a small dose first, to know if it's for you........ just taste it and you'll see how it feels... but do it NOT by wanting too much.....I mean that the mushroom have to come to you and then it can be a right time to try. (mushies are alive, spirits.... have respect for them. If they like you, they'll come to you.... BUT, do not try to force them to you, be patient....) Hope you enjoy your first trip..........!
Yeah, take a light dose the first time you try it, to get a good sense of what its like and its potential power. I've had trips with the intensity of Thudly's but they were good trips because I was experienced and knew to respect them. But wow, man, that's intense. I wouldn't take it to mean no more psychedelics, but watch what you're doing, man...
Wow. You must be psychic then. Every psychic that has been examined using an empyrical method has been discredited. Coincidence? Not fucking likely - they give general answers, take cues from facial expressions, etc. Feel to prove my wrong - predict something real. Give me some winning BC 6/49 numbers for Wednesday's draw. I'll even play it, to be sporting.
Why the fuck would a psychic waste their powers on corrupt human "ego games"? Change the fucking world with it, man!
If you're going to throw meaningless terms like "empirical" around, at least learn how to spell it. And, I don't predict anything--that isn't what "psychic" means.
i cant wait till i shroom be happy everyone thudly if you believe you are psychic then good for you and we have no reason to think otherwise, there are spiritual things in existance we cant imagine.
yes... and Spooner, man... youre very a rational thinker. you cant see, then you cant believe. I guess you didnt learn from your psychedelic experiences much
Just because I can't see it doens't mean I don't believe in it. But believing in something when there is no evidence? There is a word for that. It's called stupid.
I waste my time responding to young twerps. That is my fault-- I never look at the age on their public offering. First mistake. Mine. Won't happen again. Do anything you wish, drug-taking argonauts: It is, after all, your brain-cells and your Odysses-trip..In the meantime-- shift your ignorance to "The Young Hippie's Forum".
lol... wow , you are such a wise old man huh? I agree that drug use isnt as good as i thought it was... after a few experiences you learn. But i still dont think they are a work of evil. they are just an unhealthy way to expand your mind while you can do it naturally with different exercises. But responding to posts like this. with such arrogance, and transcendency... that just doesnt quite show the 58 yr old buddhist you must be And look at you. You wrote about a shroom trip you did at age 50. and now at 58 you have the balls to talk to "twerps" and telling them that their drug use is just gonna fuck up their lives and they'll end up in hell. Fuck man, wake up... Your mind is really like a roller-coaster isnt it?
