How have drugs HELPED you out in life...

I wasn't far off claiming to be 'enlightened' about five or six years ago. A far more accurate description would have been 'insane'.

I've had the misfortune of meeting one or two people who looked like they should be lurking outside Games Workshop and thought they had a pick 'n' mix of the Hindu pantheon on psychic speed dial, but luckily these people prefer to stay away from the gaze of mere mortals whenever possible.

last night on MXE when i saw how my life has been over the last 2 years! i feel amazing, like brand new and so focused!
i do attribute alot in my life to drugs, for me trips have been more than just fun, they have been the catalyst for reaching out further and pushing myself further!
i feel like im ME again and life has never been better! im actually excited for the future! life is good!

oh man, i can relate to this so much, been banging on about the beneficial MXE afterglows in the megathread for awhile now. amazing isnt it!

DMT = opened my mind and gave me some of the most profound beautiful intense eartshattering experiences of my life, made me interested in physics, the universe for some odd reason, made me realize so much, given me deep insight, changed my perspective on things, the way we're all connected, etc

MXE = the first aferglow lifted me out of fairly deep depression and anxiety mainly due to alcohol and mephedrone abuse, gave me new motivation for life, optimistic, made my self explore myself and analyze, see things from a different view point. the experience itself is very weird and twisted, but if done right and treated with respect, also combined with valium, it can be life changing and literally ive felt enlightened from it. potentially a life saving tool to some people if used correctly. long lasting. helps to keep me in the moment, move me forwards, used to be so stuck in the past sometimes and over thinking everything, these days im in the moment, not giving a shit and not afraid to be myself, didnt have much self asteem when i was younger but due to age and some of these experiences its made me realize how much bullshit there is in society, how messed up things are, the workings of life, its gotten me so deep. and partly i think it could be due to the "ego-death" experiences ive had, once you've died and get re-born a few times, it makes changes. but ive also disrespected this drug and its bitten me hard. but its always come back loving if i treat it right

Ohhh yeyahhh. I atleast wish I were.
 
ah yeah, i used to have a problem with alcohol in the past, used to open me up like it does for many people, ended up stupidly abusing it and ended up in such a mess many times. mild alcohol w/d at the age of 19. regrettable. then got into other drugs, and it does really make you realize how shit alcohol is, how dangerous and damaging it is, and the crazy fact of its legal status etc. the law on drugs is so backward and fucked up
 
yeh 100% agree! alcohol is the worst IMO!! worst effects, worst side effects the lot! id much rather see it gone and mdma replace it! ;)
 
Would be amazing if that could happen, but could never be replaced with mdma, mdma cant be abused like alcohol, all the seretonin side effects and stuff, brain zaps

I think that if recreational drugs were legal, you'd get companies developing safer and better drugs all the time.

yeh thats very true! look how alcohol is.... no matter what you flavour it with or dress it up as its still the same thing n that makes BILLIONS! i hope i live to see the day when recreational drugs do become legal!
 
too wasted to tell you lol, but yes they have helped to shape me the person I am today=D
 
Interesting one. I'd suggest different drugs opens up different door in the mind that you otherwise didn't know was there and gives you the /choice/ to walk through it.

For example, MDMA made me a happier person in life, but I had to choose to forget the woes before first taking that fine powder. Mushrooms made me consider what I actually wanted from life rather than short term gain. MXE showed me how much of a dick I'd been to various people (a very difficult door to walk through) and showed me that it's never too late to make it up to people.

The list goes on, and whilst not every drug is as dramatic in terms of personality development, I can attribute more to drugs the person I am today than a lot of other things. I've always been a nice, caring lad I suppose but I never used to be a raging commie bastard working for others. I'm really happy with who I am now and can't imagine what I'd be like if I said 'no' when I was in a terrible state of mind. Funny eh?

how so?? I'm intrigued.

You cannot become enlightened thru psychedelics alone...but through true and consistent work on yourself through other mediums, with occasionaal psychedelic breakthroughs - wow it's easy to see where you're going if you really want it, and take the time or the balls to make the right decisions.

This is certainly true. And it is important to really want it and to keep your overall sense of purpose otherwise it is easy to slip from the spiritual path and concentrate on consumption only. At least this is what happened to me for a short period of time.

The use and abuse of drugs has not only changed my present perspective but also the way how I thought and felt about the past as a result of which I ceased to execute the basic things that already made me happy and replaced them with consumption. This easily can become compulsive when you start telling yourself that the next
trip is going to do it for you and bring on the major change that you are hoping for.

Nevertheless being through this stage I can look back and summerize the positive effects of drugs in my life.

MDMA and Methylone helped to see more depth in the workings of the world, overcome anxiety and shyness and accept myself and others the way they are. It also helped me to enjoy music and dancing much more. Today I can enjoy a sober night out dancing and have an amazing time doing it which I couldn't have done before. This is also how I got rid of compulsive drinking.

2C-E helped me lessen the identification with my body and therefore accept it for what it is. It made me stronger and more self-confident.

Can you point out anyone alive today who is actually enlightened?

No one I've met, not right now.

Eckart Tolle is enlightened... There's some dude in India I have sensed as utterly enlightened although I cannot remember his name at this juncture. If the Maharishi were still alive today I'd say him...

Of course, the Dalai Lama is enlightened.

I'm sure I will meet some enlightened beings in the future, and may even become enlightened myself in this life...I'm not counting on it though, however.
 
I'm pretty much with Ismene and Sam on this one. although I'm willing to believe there's this enlightenment thing that exists, just because it's a lovely concept and the journey might be alright getting there. half the values I read about retrospectively that underpin Buddhism, I've either discovered and either adopted, or am working towards developing myself, without the need to follow Buddhist guidance. but Buddhists propose a kind of opposite 'path' to mine, and eschew deconstructivism, and I can't just abandon methods I've found by myself, that work in terms of understanding myself and other people, and that have made me feel more contented

I honestly think that whatever 'enlightenment' may be, I'm completely incapable of it anyways, and therefore don't want it. it's idealist beyond what i believe I'm capable of and there's almost no point in following or searching for a solution to something you don't believe is even possible or 'solvable'. much like 'happiness'. It's a misnomer. I'm kinda happy with being content some of the time and working on the rest as it suits

most of my best drug moments have been with shrooms. shrooms have allowed me to see things - perspectives purely on an introspective level that I have been unable to see due to my own neurosis. theyve allowed me to realise some really key fundamentals when it comes to understanding my own motivation and that of other humans I'm close to, or those who posses good qualities I aspire to possess and wish I could develop. mental barriers and weakness I've built up as protection methods often melt away when I take shrooms and that defensiveness is possibly the only barrier I have to removing the neurotic and cuntish tricks my head feels necessary to employ in order to function freely with other humans and in social situations.

shrooms plus a little mdma, at some point usually results in floods of tears and total gratitude for allowing me to realise and neutralise some of the above mentioned cuntish tricks I possess, as well as seeing the outright positives in other people, which i've either not really understood or been able to acknowledge before hand.

my life would not be the same without mdma and shrooms. shrooms take the poll position though
