Who has flashbacks?

i read that 70% of people dont have flashbacks. and that having flashbacks is a sign of mental weakness or somthing. so that worries me, as daily flashbacks do indeed happen.

see if we can find a correlation bettween flashbacks and somthing else, like mental weakness, or rather people with flashbacks that have other strange mental effects which others dont who also take lsd that dont.

 

no one gets flashbacks.

lsd metabolizes from the body within hours.

if you think you're having a flashback

you're probably just happy or anxious.

tracers indicate a rise in dopamine levels.

typical menacing neurochemistry.

 

that is alot of bullshit man.

flashbacks are very, very real.

you obviously dont have alot of knowledge in this area. lsd does metabolise quick, but you dont have flashbacks because lsd is in your system, its all psychological. you can have flashbacks without even taking lsd. just from intense experiences. like people from the war have flashbacks. lsd is intense and producers flashbacks in some people.

 

please don't make such ridiculous assumptions, Peter.

We obviously have different definitions of the term "Flashback"

So please, enlighten me, what is a flashback from your perspective over there?

I've interviewed countless trippers, my friend. I mean no disrespect.

I know for a fact the tracers people see are from a rise in dopamine levels, which are triggered by all sorts of things.

No one I've ever known/interviewed for my research has had a flashback.

So we must have different ideas of what a flashback is.

You can achieve samadhi without LSD via yogic techniques,
but with that
you have the intention.

 

When you are tripping (specially if you are on pretty high dose), you tend to loose some time, and you can't remember what was happening during that time. Usually, during that time, you are expiriencing something you are not yet ready to expirience, and later in life (it can be even after several years), when your grow mentaly and spiritualy to understand what was happening, it comes back to you as a flash back, and suddenly you realize why it came to you that way. It is nothing to be afraid of, every time flashback was bringing to me new realizations, or just prepared me for new realizations.

 

I can resonate with that.
It seems the term flashback is subject to every observer.

Some people who experience their Kundalini rising without them realizing it would most definitely associate it with a flashback if they've done LSD.
LSD usually forces the kundalini to rise, especially if you dance for hours on end.
There's quite a bit of divinity going on 'round here.

 

p.s. where did you get the 70% statistic....that's kind of funny.

Try and open up your crown, buddy.
Download that white light,
let it wash your soul. :]

 

I didn't mean on tracers. To me flashback is when sudenly you feel like you are in that same situation, like you are tripping and it lasts 1-2 seconds of "real time" but it can seem to you that you were absent for hours. You actualy live that moment again, it is similar to dejavue, but much more deeper. It is not connected just to what you see, it comes back with full on feelings.

 

Word, I was just saying.

 

just because you havent had any and your mates havent you have 100% certainty that it must mean there is no such thing as a flashback.

you'll know you have a flashback when it happens.

flashbacks for me occur everyday, somtimes but not allways when i see my shadow, look at silver kitchen sinks, bring a cup of liquid to my mouth, see shiny water on a wet day on concrete etc. for me its a significant alteration in perception, which usually feels like things are in 2x fast motion. for usualy 2-3 seconds.


while smoking weed it results in a contuous feeling of shifting states of conscoiusness from one to another.
i havent even done that much lsd.

 

I was having flashbacks sort of for a while... but like, I would honestly say now I'm in like a constant flashback. So it was like LSD sort of showed me this new way of operating my brain, then at times that new mode of consciousness would punch through my old consciousness so i could remember the new way of using my brain and integrate it more, until I eventually did.... Really in all honesty, from my experience, they should be called flashforwards.

the feeling that would come back to me was that of the merkaba, if you kind of imagine it surrounding you, then the accompanied feelings of like floating above the universe. At first I would only recognize the feeling of floating above the universe which was really weird, cause it feels like I personally know everyone and there is this like big hyper dimensional 'goo' that is what human consciousness is and everyone is hooked on to a piece of it. And so I would feel very clairevoyant, psychic in a way, like I'm floating above the essence of humanity looking down on it. Which was intense and highly mentally disconcerting to me cause I was all like 'what am i sposed to do with this mindset?!', my mind would jump from one new foreign perception to another with no home point so to say and I didn't want it to feel 'above' humanity in a sense. But then I remembered the structure of the merkaba one day, and got a slight visual sight of it again and when I got this feeling back it reminded me of the association between them. So now when going into that mindstate instead of focusing on like that 'goo' of consciousness or psychic feelings, I just focus on the merkaba around me and it feels like a balanced center point in this feeling.

It's really peculiar but it seems to me the merkaba is the geometric formation of this feeling, like every feeling has a geometric association, like the nature of the energy of the feeling takes geometric form when you separate yourself from it and view it independently. And the structure of the merkaba feels like that being in space feeling. Like getting a slight glimpse of the structure around you, it LOOKS like feeling, it is pure feeling, just feeling takes geometric form the more clearly you get in touch with it.

the other day though I ran into a friend that told me something that really let me bring this new feeling home but. He told me about this guy Nassim Haramein who is a physicists, quantum physicists I guess. But off a mix of solving and exponentiating some of Einsteins theories, a bit off of his own theory and some expirimentation he produced a model of the spin of the universe. It says this in one of his youtube videos better than I can say it, but all current physicists don't know what makes atoms or whanot spin, they just have this rough concept of 'initial' spin that keeps everything going. When really thats not the case, the spin is essentially like a hyperdimensional structure. Like the encompassing structure of the universe is this certain structure of energy that generates spin. And Nassim's models have pieced together a structure of energy that is nearly the same as that of the merkaba if you look here http://www.theresonanceproject.org/graphics.html
He postulates that is -literally- the shape of the universe. That you fly out to the edge of the universe and you would literally see this shape and all the galaxies and everything would be inside it. But at the same time it's also the component of existence smaller than subatomic particles, like it is the smallest percievable function of our existence. So in meditation, when you focus on the merkaba, attune your conciousness to it, you are quite literally focusing on, wrapping your mind around, and getting a feel for the actual encompassing structure of the universe. Like it is the supposed 'godhead' as it seems. Like really this merkabic shape of the universe just sort of hyperdimensionally telescopes down to encase our feeling and perception of being down here. But we're still in that energy structure and everything outside it is just like a hyperdimensional interaction projected on the walls of this merakaba.

anyways, felt like typing that out cause it let me come to terms with my uh 'flashforwards'

 

I don't think they should be called flashbacks, thats a little misleading. if you were having a flashback then you'd reappear at that certain time that your having that flashback on. I really don't know what they should be called but flashbacks do happen. Its just a spontaneaous release of the LSD in your body that gets triggered by either stress, deja vu, or even cracking your back.

 

thats not true. lsd and cracking your back thing is a myth. lsd goes out of your system quick. its just a natural psychological phenomonon. a flashback can be from any intense experience, like being in a war, or a crazy car accident.

 

oh, hmmm...I could've sworn that happens.

 

when u crack ur back and get kind of light headed thats not a flashback man everyone gets that

 

I think acid is a state of mind.

I'm not saying you trip at any random time. But I think it's very easy to find yourself with that very familliar state of mind at random times. I think my thought process has changed for the better. Creative ideas flow much more easily. I can feel the change....it's not a flashback. It's just that state of mind.

 

state of mind. i remember walking on the beach at night on acid with some friends having so much fun we all forgot we even did lsd. it just felt so right.

 

It is not the LSD that forces the Kundalini to rise Stalk, being that your isolated ego consciousness is the moment to moment manifestation of the Kundalini Devi, LSD only helps direct the energy channels or nadi's to a more refined path, which in turn may allow one to begin to seperate their awareness from the Muladhara, Swadhisthana, and Manipura, having it come to rest at the Anahata. The Ajna is very typically opened temporarily in most people on a psychedelic trip but it's inevitable closure or at least hazing under maya is due to the disorganized ascension of the Shakti. Without proper sadhana the state of an awakened Kundalini will remain a distant melody because we are so wrapped up in thought at all times, mental creations, the network of memories which constitute a personality, that we can not fully come to terms with divinity. LSD most certainly enables one to awaken to the presence of a divine nature but it also enables a flood of isolated, egocentric thought. The thought is the repulsion from Truth, and the awakening is the attraction to Truth, or Sat, samadhi is that of Sat Chit Ananada.
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."—John 3:14.
The Sahasrara is the white light you are talking about, but to enter this light, all attempts at comprehension must be reversed. Being that the Kundalini rising is in actuality a reversal process, the undoing of Creation, Devi coming back to join Shiva, so must all concepts of self and Divinity and the seperation we have made between the two be negated. Positivity is a negation process of all that is not positive, so obviously true highest diamond samadhi is not something that just falls in your lap and LSD can even take away from one's ability to attain it. LSD is a wonderful tool but never holds the answer, simply because there is no answer.
Either way, I do not practice any sadhana currently and love Acid, and my meditation consists of a bunch of nothing. Call me lazy, it's probably true!
Namaste
