Why?
I have tripped a bunch of times. Had some insane shit happen that was funny. Had some insane shit that happened that was terrifying. Never had any of this eye opening ego death bullshit happen that they talk about in podcasts. Overall I wouldn't recommend it. Even the cool stuff wasn't worth the bad. Get on your knees and start talking to God. That is alot more eye opening.
I would like to hear about the insane shit that was terrifying.
One time I was tripping and had to go home by myself. And when I got home my brother and his wife were randomly there. I didn't want to go inside cuz I was tripping. So I sat out back waiting. I sat down and stuck my head between my legs. I literally felt my head detach from my body and it started flying around the backyard like a bat. Well my family eventually discovered me and said I was running around just screaming I'm a bat. But as far as terrifying I would classify it as extreme anxiety. Feeling weird. Being worried you are gonna die. Shit like that
You didnt ask me but Ill tell you my insane trip. This one was on Salvia back when it was legal. After I exhaled, it felt like someone threw an incredibly heavy blanket on me. It started crushing me, eventually compressed me into a book. Once I realized I was in fact a book all the pages turned into mirrors. I suddenly felt like I was standing in the middle of two mirrors in a black room, I could see reflections of myself going off as far as I could see in both directions to my left and right. All of the reflections started doing different things. me just kind of like wtf.
Salvia is a really short but intense high so i came back to reality shortly around the time I was thinking wtf. Ive done it other times, but that was the most crazy and somewhat poetic trip I went on. I dont really see how even that trip was revealing of anyhting in anway. Im a book? there are different versions of youself? At the end of the day I was just fucked up.
Bad trip, I'm pretty sure I've told you about it before. Catch me drunk on mumble again some day and I prob will again.
Interesting.
I can't quite seem to get a hand on whether Hallucinogens are the gateway to enlightenment, or the gateway to Hell.
Could be something more mundane, in-between.
Who fucking knows.
The morning after I took LSD, I remember looking in my pocket, and the more I looked into it, the more I could see little things moving down there, and the more I looked at them, the more I realised they were little shrimps looking at me, and the water and the rocks became apparent... At that point I decided to stop looking in my pocket
After all, the shrimps weren't menacing, and I had seen enough
Both. It just depends where your head is at before you trip. I've been down every hallucinogenic hole I could get myself into. Most were amazing some were freighting. My personal relationship with my creator began while I was tripping. No regerts.
Both....depending on many variables. Strength and quality of the substance. Set and Setting. Your inner landscape. How meticulous you plan, and whether or not luck is with you. If you do everything right...gateway to enlightenment. A couple mistakes and gateway to Hell. Interesting enough, sometimes you learn as much from the latter, if you maintain some semblance of control.
They are a gateway for sure. But you have to want to go through. Party people take them to see the fun stuff that appears as well as the door. If you take a small dose, with the intention of self discovery, and the willingness to see stuff that isn't there, the experience is different than taking drugs to get high.
Oh it can go either way. Think "Jacob's Ladder" or what I can only describe as heaven.
It probably depends, like just about everything else in life, on the user?
