RE: Philosophy of Use: A Mind to Trip
Thank you. I am of the mind that if someone is going to do something they should do it in the way that will work out best so I try to share the little things that I learned and were helpful.
Haha well the good thing about tripping is you never really forget how it feels so you can always summon that trippy spirit and get back into that state of mind a little bit if you want to.
I go there all the time, just without the chemistry
😎
nice
Yes! I had that realization later on during my first trip on LSD. It's just a way of thinking! Psychedelics help show us that mindset, but if you have enough understanding of and mastery over your mind, you don't need to take anything to get there. I'm not completely there yet but the way LSD affected my mind has never really left. I'm much more able to handle the darkness in my mind and I'm able to find inner peace at some point nearly every day without needing weed to get there.
It takes a little doing but it isn't too much trouble to get there. A lot of the anti-drug types will point to this a negative thing because the drugs "change" you but I would argue that the change is usually positive (because it is). The only danger (for an average user who doesn't have some health condition that may react badly to the drug) is tripping too often. Psychedelics are pretty safe as far as drugs go but they are taxing on the mind and body. You use up a bunch of stuff your brain needs to function properly and if you trip too often for too long it can leave you pretty, well, trippy, I guess, until you fully recover.
Once you get there, if it is fair to say that tripping is like swimming in the ocean, it is like stand in a puddle but, in day to day life, that is all one really needs. As far as the "flashbacks" you hear about, anything besides after effects for a day or two after the trip is just drug war mythology.
I agree. The reason I'm here in the first place is because I embrace change rather than fearing it. I'm curious and I don't care what society says. Change is almost always positive, and when it isn't, we take two steps forward and one step back, which still equals one step ahead on the map, because negative change brings positive lessons.
You're right, tripping is mentally and physically exhausting, and tripping too much isn't really a good thing. But I think the brain is a muscle, a very very powerful one when mastered, and it might actually be possible for "swimming in the ocean" to be sustainable for day-to-day life, but it would take a lot of work to get there, I think.
There's also the question of whether there's any point in doing that. But why let that question stop us from trying anyway? If we get there, we can always swim back to the shore. The only real point of anything in life is to experience the journey and learn from it. That's what I think anyway. I want to see just how far the mind/brain can be pushed, and I don't think it's possible to go "too far", as long as I'm careful and respect this ocean that fascinates me so much.
True enough.
It's a fun and strange way to live. I think you will enjoy it.
