Wouldn't be great if death was the come down from some short acting drug like DMT in the REAL world?

you'd be surrounded by friends i'm guessing clouds of light laughing and snickering asking you 'did you see anything?'

Well, sometimes I get the feeling it's all just a big dream, It doesn't seem real.

Although it's not a reason to stop living, just pointing it out. peace.

I was just explaining last night how, to me, my life is like reading a very engrossing book. Hanging on every detail, being completely immersed, completely entertained in how it develops. I don't care what it's accomplishing, I don't care how it ends; frankly I will be quite disappointed when it ends. I am simply enjoying the process, enjoying the fluidity, enjoying the narrative style of the writer. I am in his head...and his head is beautiful.

to dismiss life as pointless is a sign of childhood, a sign of inexperience, in my opinion. It's like dismissing a bowl of ice cream as an inefficient time-travel device. You and I both know this bowl of ice cream's usefulness in time-travel pursuits is completely irrelevant in the appraisal of its value. Fact is, it's a bowl of fucking ice cream. It's tasty. Eat it. The end.

I've entertained similar thoughts before. Similar, but not identical. I've sat here thinking: what if I just zone out one day and realize I've been living some elaborate fantasy life? What if I zap back to this mind-boggling hit of 5-MEO-DMT I took a year and a half ago, and everything I believed happened since then was simply an illusion? I would be so heartbroken. I would learn so much from the experience, as I've evolved exponentially since first having it...but my resolve, my patience...good god, it would be fucking smashed. Did you ever see the movie 1408? I would never, ever recover from this. I know it.

death, on the other hand....that's a far more pleasant thought. When I leave this world, I leave this world. The end of my "life" seems a pretty apt time to do such a thing. But snapping out of it right in the fucking middle....right when it starts to reeeeally get interesting....aw man, that'd be some shit.

::sigh::

life is crazy.

If life is a dream, whose dreaming it?

My dreams feel realer then the place I sit as I type this.
 
(Let me apologize for not reading the entire thread before posting.)

I have been living under the impression as of late that consciousness, our thoughts, all of us together, are what is creating this 'reality' thing we keep bumping our heads against. I believe that the question, which is the title of this thread, is an absolute truism or tautology.
 
the entire point is that EVERYTHING permeates EVERYTHING.

if that doesn't answer your question...keep looking

god is real, don't give up....and be sure to HAVE FAITH. You already have it...look in your life...there is faith for something....REPRIORITIZE

be safe, be real.

I find a bowl of ice cream very useful to revisit my childhood days sometimes ;)

Great post, nbsp. I agree wholeheartedly with your views on beauty of the wonderful (even when sometimes frustrating) experience that is life.

Needless to say really, but I voted yes. The psychedelic experience and simple experience of everyday life are almost indistinguishable sometimes, there is only a difference in perspective.
 
Yes , but I wouldnt call it a psychadelic experience, why not call it a spiritual one? when you dont need to take the substance to get the result.....
 
Yes. I was just thinking about this the ther day after a large blunt.

Childhood 0-18: the crazy rush, and come up. Nervouse about the experience and wondering what will come next. Easily entertained and easily amused, slight feeling of being lost and bewildered.
adolessence/adulthood 18-45: The peak awareness and understanding of your life, you may have a constrewed view at the time because you are living it but you feel like you understand and you now know the secrets of life.
Old age 50-death: The comedown, wishing you were peaking again and regretting things you did or did not do during peak expereince.

I think psychadelics mimic this life cycle of birth realization and death and life itself seems to be an experinced based off chemical reactions anyway, so who says that im not just a conciouse mushroom filling in my boring still life with a false sense of reality producing a dreamworld for myself. I think I have heard it before.
 
life is the longest, biggest and most realistic trip one can get, i`d say...
i could write on about this for hours...
 
Up to about three months ago, I would've said "no." But, so many coincidences and strange dreams and conversations I've had with friends have been showing me so many things about the way my mind works. In the past month that I've spent sober (except for one half-bowl I had during the "bonus hour" from Daylight Savings time), I've realized so much about what I want out of life and how to get it.
But, had I not spent the 7 months prior smoking weed nearly everyday, that may not have been the case. It could be that sobriety was so different relative to being high that it was on par with a very mild psychedelic.
 
I'm going to say yes, because I heard Rick Strassman explaining how DMT is active in your normal everyday perceptions. DMT is what gives the world its magic glow of wonder... you may remember this from special moments in your childhood. So-called antipsychotic drugs nullify the action of the brain's natural psychedelic chemicals, and so make the world more grey and dull.

Human consciousness is to monkey consciousness as psychedelic consciousness is to human consciousness.
 
it goes both ways

life is like a trip, and a trip is like a life. since so much is fit into each trip, they are like adventures within adventures
