I originally was posting this in the 'Who are you on MDMA' thread but there is a difference.
I am interested to hear what all a y'all think about while peaking/coming down... or more importantly HOW you think.
I wonder why these chemical reactions that alter our normal thought processes lead us to challenge ideas and approach issues in new ways.
This may not be something that you think about but it plagues me after every time I peak.
You know when you are thinking about something 'deep' and you sort of hit a wall... the train of thought derails etc.
I find this fascinating
I think of the mind like a root system with each root fiber representing a thought path you travel...
If you understand how you establish, navigate and maintain these paths it can help you question and answer in different ways... more effective ways.
some travelled paths (eg. 'what do I want to do with my life') get used so frequently that I feel they become 'ruts'. Before you really have the opportunity to ask some real questions, expand the path and gain some ground- you can find yourself at the end of the path faced with the same questions that ended your interest in the topic last time!
I used to just move on and think about something less taxing but nowdays I press on... If you do this the paths GROW and you find youself moving in the right direction
I don't fully understand how the drugs let you see your thinking from this objective point ... its almost like the chemical reaction caused by the drugs allows you to return to points in that path rather than send you all the way back to the start(ie the origional question)
I have to stop writing this shit
