Anyone else in need of a heavy spiritual trip?

[drmcnasty]

I have used psychedelics for recreational purposes but prefer to use it for its psychological values. For the last couple months I have been ready for a change of life. For me this is the time to lock myself in my room and consume large quantities of cubensis. Would prefer LSD but don't run in those circles anymore so ill make do. I need to do a lot of analyzing, internal reflection and work things out with myself. Even if it ends up being a horrible experience it will pay off in the end cuz you see all your faults and work out how to fix them. I am curious if the younger members on BL do this. When I started with psychedelics twenty plus ago there were rights of passage and things passed to you That you passed on to the next group.

I've been kinda feeling like this lately. Like I'm at a spiritual standstill and I just need a push, just a little taste of what I'm after and trying to achieve in my daily life.

young, beginning psychedelic user here. i don't really have a group structure to do this kind of exploring with. would kinda like to be in a more spiritually oriented group ('entheogen users' versus 'psychedelic users'), but then again, spiritual trips are something to be done alone so i'm pretty much fine the way i am now. thankfully i have some people to relate my experiences to, that helps.

on a sort of a break right now, 'personal breakthroughs' became a sort of addiction. i thought i was onto something grand, a great understanding of life, but instead it turned out my intellectualism backfired, spinning some elaborate trap for my soul. i'm taking it easy on the psychedelics, no trips for somewhat over 4 months, will do something of whoop-ass caliber when my 'cooling down' period ends.

I haven't done much with psychedelics for 20yrs and Just not sure if I'm happy where I'm at so time for some serious soul searching.

Psychedelic use can turn into intellectual masturbation if you're not careful

I've done enough spiritual exploring to last myself for a long time. I've tripped probably 90 times in the last three years. Now when I'm tripping it just feels like I'm home. Its not something I feel I need to do anymore I just enjoy doing it. When I first started tripping each one was a life changing experience, now they're just fun. I used to think tripping was the closest thing to religion in my life. I've realized that they're just drugs, and when I'm on them I'm just high. Its a much more amazing high than conventional drugs, but I'm still just really high.

Its not something to really be done with a group for this purpose. This is between you and yourself and it can get very dark but at the same time its cleansing.

hehe, that's exactly what it was.

nowadays i believe there are no shortcuts. no real, quick, fail-safe, get out of jail free and go straight to nirvana-type shortcuts. psychedelics can help, but it's still a lot of hard, honest work that needs to be done to change things you think requires changing about yourself.

I have never heard it put that way bit very true.

Entheogens can be used for mindless recreation unkowingly (the most potentially harmful situation), they can be used as a means of unconscious reprogramming, as a mode of therapy, and they have recently been used in modern medicine, assisting the terminally ill to cope with death. These so called "drugs" are widely used by those who understand them as tools for reaching a divine clarity, healing and enlightenment, a state that does not have religious preference, but is a truly universal kind of communion with your most sacred and divine aspects. This is all situational and depends upon the users conceptual framework. If you give mushrooms to a shaman, a yogi, a quantom physicist, an artist, a spiritual healer, etc. and this is taken in an appropriate setting, a controlled envirnment, then you will see different results and enormous significant breakthrough that shape our collective mind. Entheogens need to be understood and respected for what they are, to which we owe great respect and reverence. When you give these tools to those who are not searching for anything higher, they're not ok with letting go of their egos, then these results are unexpected. Not saying it doesn't all have its place, I mean to quote fight club, you gotta crack some eggs to make an olmet. It all comes down to our awareness of ourselves, to put it simply but honestly, you cannot deny that we are seeing exponential changes towards this planet, and where as before we may have been concerned with cultivating the Earth, developing new technologies, governments and social structures, we are coming to a point where we need to shift our selfish focus from domineering a capitalistc, currency driven system via a means of acquiring and sharing resources - we now must heal the wounds we have caused ourselves and our home. etc. etc. same old story. We do what we can to find out who we are so we can be free, another hope for the future of mankind in a cage of mokeys, and I no longer need psychadelics to trip, but it is definately akin to dynamic aplification of chakras and cellular vibratory levels

I'm at a spiritual standstill and I just need a push, just a little taste of what I'm after and trying to achieve in my daily life.

I've been feeling fairly lost as of late too.

Now when I'm tripping it just feels like I'm home..

The moment the plateau hits it feels the same way. With every psychedelic i've taken thus far.

I love this, I actually said last night to my lady;

"Baby, I am spiritually worn out and drained, I need like a mental reset. I'm going to need some dxm tomorrow."

And guess what, I got a shit ton of DXM today.

Just for this reason, a spiritual awakening :D

 

[nearjat]

I've never really looked towards DXM for a spiritual awakening To each their own haha. Seems like some drugs open your eyes and others close them, IME, DXM closes my eyes.

Completely agreed, and I wish I had some straight LSD but I can't touch anything illegal for now =[

But yeah for me a 4th plateau dxm trip can surely make you feel a spiritual awakening if you know how to control em ^_^

Meditation pros! I love leaving my body :D

I don't know where to find shrooms in my hellhole so =[

^^;

No need to be weary of LSD if you have the mindset. I'm looking at a high ego shattering as stated above. Definately not a recreational dose.

It's fucking sad that you need to take drugs to realize what your problems in life are. How about just doing it while sober instead of taking too many mushrooms, getting scared shitless and take whatever random thought your drug-addled brains produces for good?

If you want to make criticisms of the OPs motives to consume a drug, how about you do it in a respectful and adult manner? There's no need to be so condescending, negative and immature about it.

Also, I really don't think he soley relies on tripping for personal insight. .

 

[Help?!?!]

Blah Blah Blah I came onto an internet forum to talk shit and cry like the child I am.

Its fucking sad that your computer addled mind needs to come onto the internet to talk shit to other people. How about you take that peon sized thought that your brain "produces" and use it to fuck off.
