I think my LSD trip might be TRULY significant? Is this what everyone experiences?
I learned the first time I tripped, that you aren't really tripping on LSD, you're tripping on "your own brain." I noticed that my trip began EXACTLY how I imagined it would. From there I realised how the drug really worked, which is "however you want it or expected it to be" (oversimplified as fuck). I gained more control over my trip and was able to observe many things about that state of consciousness, it is very powerful. It was a strange experience to realise that "I've tripped before" when I was tripping for the first time. It's a state of consciousness that I can almost achieve from staring into one spot, I even can get minor visuals without the drug. When I was on LSD I purposefully toggled visuals on and off in hopes to strengthen those neural pathways and better understand how to release those brain chemicals. There is much more brain activity and communication than usual when tripping and I believe you can use it as a tool to further understand how to control your brain, emotions, and perception of reality. I believe this is related to how LSD has been known to cure anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc. People keep asking about and reporting on psychedelics treating mental disorders. I think there is potential for psychedelics to treat any mental illness, or even improve cognitive function in general.
I would say that ~30% of my brain's activity was subconscious before tripping. And that has significantly reduced since. You can't understand what control you are missing out on if you don't even know the thing to control exists. I had the realisation that we really did evolve to have consciousness, and to believe we are in FULL control, which we are not. This is the best I can put my experience into words. It makes me question how much preconceived opinions about LSD can shape your trip.
Some people say you can achieve the EXACT same effect from many psychedelics if you match the dose right. I can see how that could be true now that I understand that you really are tripping on your own brain. I learned that you are capable of convincing yourself of anything, and that being truly convinced can make something "true" in some cases. I can't quite put what I'm trying to say into words, but I've done the best I can. It's like having a fourth dimensional creature take you to the fourth dimension. You gain an inhuman understanding of your own brain and how you evolved consciousness.
I had enough of an understanding of this phenomenon that I was able to get sober people into a slightly limited form of this state of consciousness by getting them to question their own perception and themselves, which resulted in them falling into the thought-loop briefly. (Note: This was all happening while I was tripping. I was conducting psychological tests while tripping lol) From there I think it becomes apparent that you have such limited control of your own brain, that it triggers the state of consciousness. I could tell that something chemically in their brain changed when they understood this concept. I observed larger pupils in the people that I put into this state and one of them even exhibited slurred speech. It's like their brain subconsciously knew how significant this understanding was. You realise that people who have had religious "enlightenment" did have an enlightenment, it was that they could convince themselves that they were enlightened. In fact, you can convince yourself of anything. Truly profound. I have a theory that all LSD does is induce this state, and possibly has some other minor effects. There was a moment that I knew that I was capable of making myself believe that I was going crazy, and as a result I would ACTUALLY go crazy. It was kind of scary. I wonder if it is possible to make a video that has a decent success rate in inducing this state of understanding/consciousness. We do not understand SHIT about psychology.
I would love to hear thoughts about my first psychedelic experience. Thanks!
