Psychedelics make me feel REAL

Meditation is what we're all looking for, and if we all seek and succeed in this, then we shall over take this so called "matrix," or just be one with it, whatever might meet your specification, if you specify.

It's just one step at a time, and it's not always going to be a pretty stairwell..

Everyone stresses/has problems/blahblahblah, its just how you handle it. Negative thoughts will only go in negative directions.
 
wow, lots of questions i ask myself are asked here, and some are answered. how crazy.

i feel like i learn lots of things while im trippin, and try, really try to remember at least a few of those good lessons and implement them into my "real" life. but its hard as hell for me cause first of all, i just like trippin, getting fucked up and being lazy. even though ive been raised a disciplined person and am pretty disciplined when compared to other people. i think psychedelics are just ways for people to get in touch with their inner self, the self that wants to be "real" and we just have to work at it.

also, meditation is really nice, ive tried it only a couple of times and its been great, really great. i actually felt some faints body and mind feelings i feel when trippin hard. like ultimate comfort with myself and stuff.
 
i can remember numerous times on acid thinking that i can see things in a very right way.. a more complete way than when i am sober... like i am seeing things for the first time as a different creature.. no more or less real unless my insane thoughts are the only true reality and that is more real than our everyday thoughts..

i know how to put it - i feel more alive - its like life intensified and magnified..!
 
I can relate a bit to the OP here.

I've always wondered whether psychedelics were as powerfully therapeutic to the average person as they are to me. When I talk to my mother about the benefits that I've seen as a result of psychedelic usage, she tells me that they're simply a chemical substitute for the joys and healing power of nature, friendship, etc. Well, maybe for her they are. There's something about the psychedelic nirvana that is untouchable by any common sober experience, I've found. Yes, during the course of one's sober life, by and by there will be great and joyous experiences to be had, but one cannot count on these to arise at any regularity or frequency, as they can with a psychedelic regimen. Why wait for perfect natural conditions, when you've been gifted access to these relatively benign yet powerful chemicals?

I really think that when my mother speaks of psychedelics and their uselessness, she speaks in ignorance of their true capability. However, that hasn't stopped me from pondering the huge gap between my sober and psychedelically-induced states of mind... do some people really have such a glowing sober life that drugs would have no particularly attractive effect? Is this, perhaps, why they remain illegal? In the eyes of most, the costs truly do outweigh the minimal benefits? Or perhaps, because of their biology, psychedelics simply cannot affect them in a profound way? Hard to believe...
 
Protovak, how do you normally feel when you are not under the influence of psychedelics? Can you enjoy the things that you used to enjoy doing? Do you like to socialize at all? Do you lay in bed most of the day and have difficulty finding an appetite? Have you always been like this or has this feeling lasted for many weeks or months? If the psychedelics are making you feel "normal" you might want to stay away from drugs as this could possibly indicate unipolar or bipolar depression and if you "feel normal" it could be potentially triggering mania (if you have a predisposition, known or unknown to mental illness) or exacerbate unipolar depression.

Taking psychedelics and feeling "normal" or functional is something that I notice commonly in persons with unipolar or bipolar depression.

Apply what you have experienced on acid to your every day life. It's what I'm currently doing.
 
Have you done a lot of ecstasy in your lifetime?

I have a friend who sounds exactly like you, but he says he is dulled out from all the E.

Definatly stay away from the E if nothing satifies or catches your interest. I feel those negative effects still from that horrendous drug. TOKE UP!
 
its because you are so fake in your personality in sobriety.. take what you learn about yourself on your journeys as a lesson on how you should be, instead of going on the journeys to be you

Not to freak you out needlessly, but have you ever looked into the symptoms of mental illness? Some cause a lack of emotion... schizophrenia, for example. And in the case of having schizophrenia, you should probably stop dropping acid.

You don't diagnose a mental disorder with one symptom.

Plus, there are mental disorders which better fit with just "lack of affect/emotion" being the one that the OP is complaining about.
 
I am the polar opposite.

In my sober state I sense and feel and LIVE WAAAAAY TOOO MUCH. I am CONSTANTLY overwhelmed by a noise of sights, smells, sounds, sensations, tastes, feelings, passions, and emotions that I am in a constant whirlwind with. FFS, I'm even a bona fide synaesthete when sober!! While this can be poetically beautiful, in our world more often than not it results in anxiety and impaired functioning.

This is why I take extreme caution when taking psychedelics, and even then have managed to run into many disasters.

This is also why Dissocaitive Anaesthetics (stress on the anesthetic half), which work in a manner opposite to psychedelics, help allow me to think of things without a torrent of life and colours and noises and the emotions that entail coming in the way.
 
I agree that acid most definitely makes me feel more like me than I do at other times. However it's a fleeting state of grace which IME cannot be held for long & the harder you try the further it can recede.

It'd be interesting to see what, if any, correlations there may be between people who regard LSD in this way.
:)


Jamshyd - I generally find that LSD makes my mind quite peaceful after a couple of hours, ketamine seems to add to the confusion of everyday life for me
