The Big & Dandy Psychedelic Thought Loops Thread

i was stucked once in a loop after taking 400µg of lsd, it was pretty scary, it was a mental and a physical loop as i was trying to put my jacket on, and one of my arm, could not pass through the jacket to wear it the right way...
Seemed to me like i was trying tio put this jacket for hours....
 
times always change, but moments never die.

if you decde to 'keep watching a moment', rather than moving onto the next linearly progressive frame, you can access infinity. its kind of like the void, or death. as the buddhists say, everything is made up of deaths and rebirths, every second is the death of the second prior, and 'you' die every second to be born anew the next.

normally we keep watching the rebirth sequences, thus resulting in progressive occurance. however, the sacred salvia showed me what its like to not move on, and instead stay with the looping-stillness of infinity (since aferall, the You which views a moment, ceases to exist after the imprinting of that moment, a new You moves on and can look back at those memories frozen in time.)
 
When you go through loops sober, you might not even notice them, or you'll write them off as normal. When you go through them while tripping, you can really focus in and think about why the loop is occurring. Sorry for all the second person btw.

Thec craziest thing is when something happens at the beginning of my trip, and during the end of it, the same damn thing happens again. Its not a back to back loop, but it makes the whole trip feel like one big loop.

Yeah, I've made a thread about this before.

Same as everyone has said, psychedelics work in cycles just like life. The loop is a normal part of the experience.
 
Time is not linear. It's only the way we are constructed as bioneural computers which makes it seem that way. Certain psychedelics can help us transcend this and help us see that time is far more complex than we make it out to be.
Oh yes, of course, best not to huff glue.

This thread is not about whether or not it is wise to huff glue.
 
Thought loops will often throw me into memories in my childhood that I have forgotten all about.
 
^^ lol

I got stuck in a loop at a rave. I was candyflipping and my friends were rolling, and I kept tripping how I needed to stay hydrated--and to remember to keep my friends hydrated. I think I went and refilled my bottle of water every few minutes.
 
I can't say I've experienced any intense loops since maybe my first 5 times tripping. i find the experience loopy in general, though, come to think of it.
 
if I ever caught myself in a loop, anxiety would kick in and be like OMG IM FUXED FOR LIFE MY BRAINS LOOPING OMGGG,, bad trip instantly and a loop of demons and devils for the next few hours....no im just jk

whenever I've caught myself looping (of course I would have to have an ego to know this) I've just laughed it off, hystarically....like how crazy must you be to loop...Id rather laugh hystarically (like pee your pants) than loop anyday :p
 
The first time i tripped i got caught in a strange kind of loop.
I would look at something and start trying to explain what i was seeing to my friends (they were also tripping) and then i'd look at something different and the whole world would seem to change, but then i'd have to explain about how the world seemed to be changing and halfway through that I'd look at something different and it would happen again. I just kept trying to explain the experience but could never finish explaining, got out of that when me and my friend decided that we had come to some mental agreement on what i was trying to explain without saying anything :p
Will see if it happens again this time....
 
this is one of the reasons i dislike psychedelic drugs. i've done acid like 8 times and each time i disliked the trip, too much talking and thinking for a drug. i really cannot stand not being able to sleep, each time i've tripped i wished i could have just been knocked out. downers for me please.
 
I've had mind loops before, but never actually done something over and over. Closest thing is thinking I had to pee for like 2 hours on shrooms, probably went to the washroom 15 times, no piss. Or this one time me and my buddy went downstairs to get chocolate milk. First time we got out the glasses, then went back upstairs in a fit of laughter. Second time we poured ourselves the milk after returning to the kitchen for some non-related reason, noticed the empty glasses and were like, OH YA! So the milk is poured, but hilarity ensued (chocolate milk looks funny when it pours), so we forget our full glasses there. Return to the kitchen for a third time, see the glasses and finally get to drink our milk. AHHAAHA good times.

If you loop, you're thinking too much.

To stop thinking, just step into the moment. Notice everything, each moment afresh.

Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.

It is not dying.

this is the best advice so far. Ever once in a while if your looping u just have to stop everything step back and forget about what to do. Just chill and sit back. You don't have to do anything or go anywhere. Just forget it. Paying attention to your breath as it comes in and out can help if you need help with this. Turn of your mind relax and float downstream is what you should actually do.
 
good to know im not crazy....lol

i used to call this "the realm"

crazy shit huh? it reminds me of snapping out of a nitrous ballon and your last thought is the answer to the universe....and then you forget it. ;)



good vibes in here.....think ill stay awhile.
memories....

Heh, try telling THAT to someone actually stuck in a loop.

I just tried to emulate this scenario. If I were the one stuck in the loop, my response to that would be something along the lines of, "wha...? WTF!? Nothing makes sense, and you're telling me to fucking RELAX?? How can I "just go with it" when a ten thousand million swords of guilt are simultaneously stabbing my heart!! "relax and go with it??" you might as well teach me how to fly!!"

Hmmm, nah.

I'll take the diazepam, thank you.
 
Yeah, this happened to me on LSD. It's because you're trying to reach an answer, but everytime you get close to finding it, you get distracted by something. Once that's over with, you remember what you were thinking about and try and find the answer, but get distracted again. After a while, we start to think the same thing is happening over and over, which it is, but not in the way we think. In this sense, we never figure out what it is we were trying to, because we get so caught up on the thought of time repeating itself, thinking time is fixed to playing forward, when it is not.
 
^Or its something more akin to deja vu; misfirings in the temporal lobe relegating things instantaneously to long term memory, so, within milliseconds of the occurence, it is "remembered". New Scientist recently (well about three nmonths ago) had a great article on it.

Also- time does go forward, as evidenced by entropy. :)

loops can go deep on an acid breakthrough (triggered by pot)

when the loops start occuring, that is the beginning of the breakthrough

if you let go and give in to the experience you will get completely sucked into the moment

it is like zooming into a mandelbrot fractal... layers and layers of complex fractal imagery that look like neural and cellular networks

makes me wonder if acid can be used as sort of a magnifying glass for awareness, zoom in or zoom out... or is this all just a figment of my imagination?

this happens after the amnesia and complete loss of memory

... it's a rare occurrence, most who take lsd are too attached to the mind and body to detach into the seemingly infinite moment...

I get the EXACT same experience, often zooming in and out.. layers upon layers, like a mirror.. which is always triggered by marijuana, the only issue i have is i get 'stuck' in it.. and as soon as i get out i go back in, it's like i get a third eye mental image with my eyes open of zooming in and out.. i've zoomed out far enough to change my entire perception of my existing reality and existence.

The zooming in and out is as you said 'seemingly infinite'.. i've found it to be ridiculously intense introspection.
