Oh wow! Awesome...I rememebr all those shows! Hey youd be the perfect person for me to ask then...Has the character of the acid trip changed for you as you got older? I mean the visuals and other effects are just really different than how they were when I was a teen. I feel like my visuals were more abstract and out of control back then. Nowadays they have simmered down quite a bit...just curious.
I had wondered this myself, wondered if my brain had fundamentally changed or something.
Here is what I see, from my perspective.
The brain is an immutable powerhouse of wonder and possibility, we only scrape the surface to do all the things we do every day, while the real interesting stuff goes on underneath, deep down in the works of the machine, in the heart of the city where your conscious mind has no reason to frequent.
Acid is literally the keys to your brain, it's effects are as changeable and plastic as your very mind is. You will be AMAZED how much more control you have over how your brain works than you think, it's almost like rebooting a computer in safe mode and looking at the code or something.
If you go into an experience expecting something, you will be more likely to get it, and as far as I'm concerned, to be disappointed.
When I trip I learned to just leave myself open to the experience, not expecting anything, which is hard because we do it subconsciously- and I have been blown away by the variety and beauty of life that has been opened before me.
It is a special thing to be a living human, our brains and souls carry so much wonder we shut ourselves away from as we get older.
As you grow and mature, you naturally put up more filters. If you let it, if you're comfortable with you, all those can fall away and psychedelics can show you things LITERALLY you could have never imagined.
Anyways, my point was that after tripping balls more than a few times, you get to think you know the substance, and come to expect certain things. We can't really help that, but we do have the power to cast those expectations away with a simple act of will.
You should try lucid dreaming, it will help you navigate the trip space easier, and really delve down into the really really cool stuff without panicking.
