For growth and healing.

Okay majordude i get the message lol.

I`ll definitely be getting those books to read,i suppose that in time i will find what i`m looking for...I am awaiting my teacher to arrive so that i may be able to learn to teach myself,one day.

They say when you are ready they come.

Peace and love to you all :)
 
If I were you I would try to come to terms with the fact that everything changes rather than constantly try to revert back to a better time in your life .....

I used to suffer from nostalgia so badly that It damn near killed me, eventually I just learned to let go, even though those were great times in my life, as well as great trips (before adulthood, when you are still innocent is definitely the most enjoyable time to trip) those times are passed.

That doesnt mean there is not something else that that I can enjoy.... it just means LET GO OF NOSTALGIA SO YOU CAN MAKE MORE MEMORIES TO BE NOSTALGIC ABOUT....

Sorry for the minirant
 
I think i may have been misinterpreted here,i`m not nostalgic,i`m not harking after the past.

What i was trying to get accross was that when i used to play with psychedelics i was young and nieve and wasn`t tainted by what goes on in adult life...I did literally play with psychedelics and discover many things in a way that was innocent of all the crap we build up for ourselves along the way.

I`m not wanting to go back,for the past is the past and that is where it stays,what i would like is to have a psychedelic experience that can be used in a more constructive way to open up parts of my life now that i feel are closed off to me,parts that were closed off by becoming an adult,you know that great big fucking wall we create for ourselves.

With growing up and coming of age we learn behaviour,how to protect ourselves,we become cynical and judgemental as well as a whole other host of behaviours that suit our self preservation in our societies.

So it`s not to go back but to embrace the future with some help from psychedelic therapy,to be able to evolve into what i already am,it`s just knowing how to,to free it,to awaken it into it`s full glory that is.
 
I think you have misinterpreted me.

I specifically am talking about nostalgia for yesterday's mindset....

You will never go back to pre-corruption, you can not regain your innocence, it is in the past.

you can still do things to get your mindset more similar to its old ways, but you cant unlearn the way the world works....

and because of your current understanding of how the world works.... you get the point ....?

I have a different view of what spiritualism is,my belief is that it is a personal one that cannot be shared as the only person to walk my path is myself,so for me holding space and ceremonial whistling are really not for me,nor is the idea of being cleansed with sage smoke...I just don`t personally believe these rituals,they don`t work for me and i wish not to pretend that they do by being involved in a Ayahuasca healing ceremony for my own needs.

I believe that there are the approaches to healing that involve psychology,psychotherapy,life coaching and self development that can be used in psychedelic therapy,this is what i mean by western approaches.

I believe that you can gain as much from these methods as you could from donning a poncho,shaking a grass rattle and going through the peruvian medicine wheel.

I don't think trying something out will offend anybody... try their way out and then your tried and true way.... or the other way around! (If you never try it, don't knock it in this case imo, or do!)
 
I get the point hebrew hammer but you dont get mine,thats not what i`m trying to say...I seem to have trouble communicating with certain people.

I`m not wanting to go back to a particular mindset.There were valuble insights learned many years ago that got lost or were not used properly,they got buried,i would like to retrieve them to help me continue on my journey.

We all tend to bury things or loose things.Shamanistic practices help in retrieving those things as well as psychotherapy and the like.

I`m not wanting to re live past times,that cannot be done,it is gone.Hopefully you understand now hebrew hammer.

Yes exactly,those epiphanies that i had,i think i could have only had then because i was a child and my mind wasn`t as closed,but being a child i wasn`t able to understand them as well as i would now.

I think if i hadn`t of done psychedelics back then and only now as an adult,it would be far more difficult to have those kinds of experiences because of all the programming and shit we pick up along the way,much more work would be needed.

Whereas now i would be re learning what i already have experienced and put it to good use as an adult in an adult world,to enhance my life.I feel that it`s always on the tip of my tongue so to speak,but never spoken.:)
 
@OP: so you have a unique belief system, but want psychedelic healing aided by others? Sounds strangely familiar.

My strategy has been to try harder to relate to the beliefs of others, by considering their beliefs as metaphors. I've met with limited, but nonzero success.
