So Much Work ...

Hello All! I am a new member here at hipforums, but an experienced psychonaut ... I am so glad to have found this place, as it seems like a great place for many illuminated people to gather. I can not tell you how good it is to see this community and how it thrives. Many good vibes are here, as every post i have read thus far has been infused with positivity and love. Greetings aside, there is much work to be done. The journey thus far has been a good one for me. I've laughed, I've cried, been in terror, in bliss, and although I have had many many psychadellic experiences I feel it is time to try and tie everything together. To try and take all the experienced I have had and tie them in together, searching for the deeper meaning of it all. But where to begin?! It has been a month sinice my last series of trips (4/18-4/21) .. almost to the day. I believe what I need is a good trip to start me off on my new journey. Envigorate my soul .. gather my thoughts .. and set a plan of action. You are now onboard for my ride. Buckle up .. strap in tighly .. and hold on for your dear life. You are in for one hell of a ride.

So much work to be done ...

 

there is nothing to be done its all been done before

once youve done the work it cant be undone

think about this.. you call it work you think your getting a job done
but..if your really getting a job done do you need to do it over again?


last month..what did u accomplish?
how was it undone so that now you have to do it again?

 

nice to see you again soaringeagle...

but what is this work you speak of?

oh and I love how everyone's first post in the CID forum is always about how they are experienced and how they have taken "many many" trips. Funniest part about it is that I never read a number of trips. I only read and get the impression that I shouldn't refute anything that this serious tripper has learned.

NOT TRYING TO SINGLE YOU OUT PSYCHONAUT BUT IT HAPPENS REGULARLY

 

lol i agree with soaringeagle on this one... once you've had a breakthrough LSD experience there is nothing left to be learned from it.

im sure there are other ways for you to tie your past experiences together without drugs, through drawing, music, or even just going out for a long hike or climb.

 

I agree with MeatWagon, psychedelics should not be your primary focus, I believe it should be used to just kick start spiritual awareness and then over time rely on them less. There should be a healthy balance in life. Too much of anything is bad.

I don't really know how to explain it but I would recommend watching Ram Dass - Fierce Grace (2001) an insightful documentary about Richard Alpert. He uses LSD a lot but then realizes peace happiness and joy is within himself when he travels to India to meet his Guru. It's hard to believe how much what he says in the film affected me and I feel I should share this and inspire other people to watch it please for yourself.
Thanks

 

Well when I read the teachings of Don Juan, a way of getting a good view of things is to go from your last memory of the last person you met and go from there to the first (its term I have forgotten at this moment), write down names and any debts you may have, then take care of them, any apologies you might have, make amenze <sp?>. This actually helped me dream lucidly for a while, but it sounds like you are still looking for something and I think a drug trip will not help you.

Like one poster said, I believe soaringeagle, it has all been done before, there is nothing that you can't find by looking into eternity and understanding why you are looking at it, the answer will come. I learned that one long night looking into a corner of my red room while on DXM, best trip I ever had, and it sticks with me through all my nows.

 

I think LSD and other psychedelics should only be used to "keep the cement wet" as Owsley once put it. When the world around you starts to become "concrete" and "definite," it's probably time for a dose.

By that token: you can always put more water in the cement, but you can't take it out. If you know whaddimean.

 

meditation contemplation and reflection

the trip isnt the work..it just opens your eyes

the work comes after..
you can take a thousand trips and never get anywhere if u dont also take the time to understand where ya been



imagine exploring the world.. but doing it at the speed of light
can u truly say you experienced europe if youd flew through it in the blink of an eye

psychodelics are the same the more u pole trip upon trip the morte blurred the scenery as you fly on by you dont give yourself time to meditate contemplate and reflect on where ya been ya might as well have never gone in the 1st place


have u even defined this work..work has a goal..would another trip today blur or clarify this goal and why would u need clarification if all things were crystal clear last time

 

I think I may have been a little strong coming on, and possibly slightly misunderstood. First off I don't mean to come on here flaunting what I have and haven't done .. My main purpose in stating that I was experienced is stating that I am not new to the strange and beautiful journey that LSD has to offer. Second when I speak of "work" I am talking about nothing more than simply searching my soul and taking my mind to new levels of consciousness and insight. It is true psychedelics are not the only way to do this. Music, Art, Meditation, and Love are all big parts of my life, and essential to my journey. I don't mean to imply that anything I have learned or experienced has been lost. It is about taking my experiences further. I have laid a solid foundation, it is time to "wet the cement" and continue to build upon what I have already accomplished.

We are merely a strand in the web of life.

 

Cliqueishness is as prevalent here as anywhere. The road is uphill.

 

Welcome Psychonaut420 to our "little" family!!!

 

the road may be uphill, but we have spaceships

 

The main thing is that you are happy, (or at least 'content' in whatever cliquey paradigm we find ourselves in

 

I'm a rebel, soul rebel.
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer.
I'm a rebel, soul rebel.
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer.

See the morning sun, the morning sun,
On the hillside.
If you're not living good, travel wide,
You gotta travel wide.
Said I'm a living man,
And I've got work to do.
If you're not happy, children,
Then you must be blue,
Must be blue, people say.

I'm a rebel, let them talk,
Soul rebel, talk won't bother me.
I'm a capturer, that'w what they say,
Soul adventurer, night and day.
I'm a rebel, soul rebel.
Do you hear them lippy.
I'm a capturer, gossip around the corner,
Soul adventurer. How they adventure on me.

But, see the morning sun, the morning sun,
On the hillside.
If you're not living good, travel wide,
You gotta travel wide.
Said I'm a living man,
I've got work to do.
If you're not happy, then you must be blue,
Must be blue, people say.

I'm a rebel, soul rebel.
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer.
Do you hear me?
I'm a rebel, rebel in the morning.
Soul rebel, rebel at midday time.

 

i'm slightly unsettled by the first page of this thread. what a bullshit reception for someone trying to express themselves in an unassuming way. you took what he said way too literally and threw all your egos at him; very discouraging to me. as soon as shapeshifter posted it turned around though

 

Why's this fussing and a-fighting?
I wanna know, Lord, I wanna know
Why's this bumping and a-boring?
I wanna know, Lord, I wanna know now

We should really love each other (love each other)
In peace and harmony (peace and harmony), ooh
Instead, we're fussing and fighting (fussing and fighting)
And them workin' iniquity (... iniquity)

Why's this fussing and a-fighting?
I wanna know, Lord, I wanna know (... know), I wanna know now
Why's this cheating and backbiting?
(I wanna know ...) I wanna know, oh, Lord, I wanna know now

(Stop your fussing and fighting, stop your fussing and fighting)

(Stop your fussing and fighting, stop your fussing and fighting)

We should really love each other (love each other)
In peace and harmony (peace and harmony)
Instead, instead, we're fussing and fighting (fussing and fighting)
Like we ain't supposed to be (... supposed to be), tell me why

 

there's nothing wrong with fussing if it's aimed at a higher good. I never detected an absence of love in this thread, just a prevalence of ego.

 

Damn, well let me find a more appropriate Marley song to throw on here then :tongue:

 

By the way, an ego motivated action is always without love, save for the ego, wouldnt you think?

 

whatever you do dont listen to most of what soaringeagle has to say.

i think more tripping could be just what you need. make sure you apply what you learn when you trip into your everyday sober life. meditation is also very good advice. there are many other ways to advance in life without lsd and only a fool would see such drugs as the only key to enlightenment.

there is no end to what lsd and other psychedelic drugs can do for you so there will always be work that you can do with the aid of such drugs.
