I had a completely life changing experience only two days ago, and have not touched a drug since then, but have pondered what happened, and concluded that I will always feel the way I felt when under the influence.
In the end, I came to several generally acceptable principles. I figured I would eventually find some place to post them, and I'm always open to additions and tweaks, as well as questions, because some may seem obscure to minds other than mine...
Mu. [It's a Zen thing. You can look it up, but you might not fully understand it by itself.]
Love unconditionally.
Make no assumptions.
It's ok.
Don't ask why; ask why not.
You don't need a reason to celebrate.
Recognize the irrational and let it go.
Live actively.
Don't get refunds.
Be your own god.
Everything is plausible.
Don't TRY to be generous.
Patience pays off double.
Rules and rulers are made, not born.
You can never be too lighthearted.
People will always take advantage of you.
Life is formless.
Nothing is done in vain.
A coincidence is just a sign that things are ok as they are.
If you have to make excuses for your beliefs, reconsider.
Active hate is the same as love.
Be deliberate.
There is beauty where people say there is not.
Like I said, my list is still growing, so input is always more than welcome, and if you want to know where/how I came up with these things, let me know and I'll blog more in depth about it all.
I love you all.
