Esoteric Psychedelic Ideas and Revelations Inaction

dread said:
The physical existence, laws of physics and matter, all that, it's just an agreement between all parts of the collective psyche. The physical universe is the way it is because we all agree it is that way. Ultimately, we are all one mind, we each represent different ways of experiencing life.

That's a great way of putting it. :)
 
as a psychology student I often find myself - during presentations, discussions and so on - trying to expose all the psychedelic "knowledge" (this beeing the manifestation of "believes" I've been having during pre-psychedelic times* - glimpse to dread's statements ;) ) I have gained - of course without mentioning PDs at all.
I've been dissappointet for some time for people stating that my thoughts are "too complex, complicated, not understandable". But then I found out that there are always some/few people that actually DO understand.
And I believe the whole effort is not worthless as long as only one person is "touched"...

"Intellectual solitude" is hard to handle though - I think you know what I mean...



*doubt -> believe -> knowledge. PDs are the catalyst. imo.

Okay, here's an idea my girlfriend and I have talked about a few times that we may or may not have come up with tripping (I can't remember; might have been 4-AcO-DMT).

Where we live, it's very hot in the summer and people aren't really very nice to each other. We thought we might set up a small table with lemonade and home-made cookies (or something similar) on one of the main streets downtown in our small city when everyone is walking to or from lunch. Most of the time when someone offers something for free, there's an ulterior motive: join my church! buy my product! vote for my politician! We'd like to do something nice with no strings attached, because there's not enough of that these days.

What do you think?
 
^Brilliant idea man :D Really. Show people that kindness can exist with no ulterior motive and it could open up the world for them. I like it! :)
 
I have tried this, people are just not accustom to others being nice with no ulterior motive. I think your idea is a good one but, just be prepared for most people to look at you like some kind of nut job and most people will try to take advantage of the situation if there is a possibility to do so. Also food seems to bring people together,especially different cultures living in the same area.
 
^Well, I reckon people will have to get used to it! I know I got much pleasure when I lived at my old house, picking lemons from our massively over-lemonised lemon tree and putting them in a basket out the front o' th' house with a big FREE LEMONS (AND TIBET) sign on them. Felt nice....so I guess there was an ulterior motive, but I'm sure some people had a nice lemon tart or two.

Also- I just set and broke a record for the amount of time the word lemon has appeared in a post. Wicked :D
 
lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon, record broken ....fuck im childish
 
^Yeah, well I think a lot of us would know that feeling of feeling (huh?) like a child again when tripping. You can feel so innocent and everything appears marvellous, new, and full of wisdome.

Selfishness- well, I think if you can't rid yourself of it by understanding what it is and why it is, I don't know about outside help....Thouhgh any activity that encourages and enhances empathy, be it good or bad, is a great way to learn.

I wonder if a small child would ever learn to stop being selfish just by observing negative reactions in others. That's what I meant by that, little kids have needs and beg others to satisfy them regardless of the others willingness and whatnot.
 
^Is a child ever really selfish though? I mean, sure, they are self-centred in te sense that THEY dominate their own world, but I don't know if really young children are selfish in the negative sense. They just want things, regardless of whether anyone has anything tey want to give.

H key not working well today.
 
Great point, it's not like they think "haha I'm fucking up their shit, but oh well I want chocolate milk" or anything.

And if there was no such thing as harm reduction, I would definitely take LSD in the company of a small child.

Actually- is that really that dangerous? I don't plan on doing it, but at the dose I've had of LSD I was very functional and I could weigh the outcome of my decisions very efficiently.

I'm a high school student, and a sizable amount of people in my area are turning on to Eastern religion, specifically Buddhism. At first I was thinking "great, a wonderful system of philosophies is going to be cheapened into a high school fad", but after talking to some of them they seem very earnest and completely enthralled by how it's changed their lives. Like me, most of them don't practice any traditional Buddhist rituals other than meditation.

I mention this because "Psychedelic Ideas and Revelations" very closely parallel these beliefs and practices, and this seems to be a very new, very positive occurrence.
 
^My only concern re: tripping around children (which I've done quite a few times) is that, if there was an emergency (kid gets stuck in a fence or something), there needs to be a sober person around to assist. Of course, that situation is fine if there IS a sober person around....kids are great to trip around, as they simply don't find much behaviour odd.

Buddhism and psychedelics have soooo many parallels. I only got "into" buddhism properly via tripping, though it always interested me. Started making more sense post-psychonautica though.

Ever since I was a kid, raised Christian, I had the idea in the back of my mind that was something like "if everything else in nature goes in circles, why don't people?". As in, nature is made up of infinite cycles, but according to the Bible we live, and then we die. From then we are judged based on whether or not we blindly follow a religion. It made NO sense to me, especially since so many people will never hear of Christianity. I was also born curious and analytical, it's like I was being guided all my life to where I am now.
 
sori to offend any of you IMO christianity is the biggest load of shit ever

edit: along with all the other religions of that time

From what I remember from back wen I was a kid, I hadn't the slightest idea that anyone could be hurt by my actions or requests. Grown-ups were all-powerful and untouchable, other kids I could only upset. Evil is a foreign concept in early childhood. Kids are natural born communists - If you have some, give me too! If you don't have any, well make some! From each according to possibilities, to each according to necessity.

And when the unfortunate happened, it deeply disconcerted me. Such as the time when I popped my grandma smack in the forehead with a steel bearing ball when I was about three. The thought of actually hurting someone was foreign to me. There are mean kids but they don't grasp the meaning of evil. To kids, everything is temporary, everyone is immortal.

Isn't the whole ideal of communism based on giving not taking?
If chidren were commies they would be more like "here I have an icecream have half,children are more capitalists "this is my icecream and I wont share it"....like most adults
