Well, any way im giving a short presentation in psychology on how lsd affects the brain. Im heading toward ego deth and effects on preception. any ideas any one?

I realized we are all of the earth and at first thought that this huge object was one of those "entities". Then realized what that "huge object" was. It was the earth. The feeling I can't quite describe in words, but it's a great feeling of humbleness and pride, confidence...all at once

That's a rather broad topic. Most of our objective knowledge about how psychedelics work is in the field of neurochemistry. There is no such thing as a standard universally accepted model for psychological systems, so describing a weird and controversial higher level event like an LSD trip in general terms is tricky.

What school of psychology does your class (assuming this is for a class?) focus on? I could give you some of my personal theories, but unless Freud/Lacan are highly relevant to your class, it may not be a very useful starting point. If you just ask for people's thoughts on LSD and the psyche, you'll get at least as many different theories as you get responses, methinks. You may want to describe this presentation a bit more.

yeah perception could go on for days, I would narrow it down or just do ego death or something like that bc lsd is hard to fully describe, let alone get a passing grade by doing it haha you know?

Ego death is such a pissy term to use with LSD. To me LSD is sheer euphoria, laughter and appreciation of nature and loved ones. Not sitting there not being able to move going "Oh fuck me i'm experiencing ego death like leary said in that book".

I like getting up, walking around and having a great fucking laugh. That's what LSD means to me.

well i have, and so have some of my friends been brain-fucked while tripping, we weren't thinking about it just all the sudden I was like "wait whoa whats happening, I took something, 3 letters, shit" and then my very next thought was just messed up, one of my friends tried to talk to me about how I was just on lsd, and I was josh I would be fine. and I had done mushrooms 4 times, and lsd 14 times before that night. I lieterally didn't know what I had taken, and I knew it was something, then all the sudden "I" wasn't a thought like there was no me, it is hard to explain. I like you had only laughed my ass off and had amazing visuals on my previous 18 trips

possibly attempt to explain the ability to think of oneself in multiple perspectives, first person subjectively, third person objectively. I can really seperate my actual living body from my thoughts/ concept of myself when i'm on LSD. lets the pressure off and lets me be humble. I am just alive and most if not all of the pressure, suffering and annoyance we feel is through thought we ourselves are having.

dissattach and don't let your thought bring you down. just think more thoughts about those thoughts.


i'm getting spacey
