Hello,
I have been pondering about angels for some time now.
In the broadest sense really.
It is actually a really personal thing for me too for the last few years and probably also beyond in some way, be it for the fact that i grew up in a mostly christian society.
Therefore depictions of angels or angelic creatures have been around me since i went by a church for the first time.
I do know some things that are written about angels but I also have some kind of personal relationship with the topic, as i find the term very fitting for what i have been witnessing now and then.
There is a problem for me in the christian depictions of them, well not really a problem it is all fine if one can spin it into the proper context for whatever.
It is more like i feel like many things about them are probably misunderstood or at least left out even if the writings were honest etc.
There is a whole spectrum of subtlety about them which is kind of left out for me.
It is often more like: He appeared with a flaming sword, or it saved the world by helping give birth to this one child.
I think they get kind of mystified, they are very much real to me, moreso than or at least as much as in christian mythology, although i am not practicing any christianity, i just read about it now and then and take it as another bunch of writings that exist.
But i don't even want to get too much into my religious affirmations because i also think there are many things in most religious texts that are straight out of reality, could even be mundane things like basic psychology, everyone agrees on those things, that doesn't make me this or that for example, so you'd really have to know me well to judge my religious affirmations and I'd probably fail in conveying them truthfully.
Anyways, does anyone here have drawn any conclusions between angels and psychedelia?
For example one thing i noticed, is how similar a psychedelic experience even visually can be, to an angel opening its wings. I do want to add so you can properly understand what i mean here: I have heard that angels use their wings to fly but i have also read that they use their wings to disguise them, to make them invisible to us and others.
Also we anthropomorphize angels or similar things (one could call them many things i am sure, it is just the term that stuck with me) so we make them look like us when we depict them, or with eyes which is still very "relatable", but many people, me included see them more as something overlapping or existing in some form in this very reality.
So, when you blast off some psychedelic and visions start erupting for example, it might be possible to draw some similarities to a being opening its wings, if it had wrapped its body inside them before doing so.
I do like how it plays out in my mind with the fact that i can look literally anywhere else at that point in my reachable view of vision and the unfolding and curling still appears kind of midway or even everywhere, although my head is turned to somewhere else. Same goes for the metaphorical angel, it is not at some specific point sitting there, at least for me.
Also what actually is happening anyways with these psychedelic visuals OEV's as we call them. I can still sense how firm any material is mostly, my judgement on physical reality might even be more correct, even though everything is whirling at that point.
Anyone was able to draw some similar parallels between those 2 things?
I am happily interested to what other people might have thought about this.
Also haven't found many people where i was able to speak about this in my real life, though there are lots of people on psychedelics etc. I don't know
