Psychotropic plants connect you with the consciousness of the universe, one love. They are here for a reason and they are real. Use them do not abuse. Respect all life forms.
@ChipArgyle More like; You've got cancer? Here, eat this mushroom so that you can see life under a different light and learn to deal with death and can enjoy the last phases of your bodily existence. Feel better? Ok good
@InSanctvs Chemically induced hallucinations aren't real. They're merely sensation. They may seem real at the time of experience, but what is sensed isn't real. You do understand that I hope. If not, drugs aren't for you.
Bill Hicks would be proud. And btw, good trips and bad trips are dependent on your state of mind before taking the substance. If you are in a negative state of mind, you're gonna have a scary ass trip and vice versa.
Why does society need scientists to say this shit to make it "valid", when for decades (perhaps even millennia) we have KNOWN THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE the truth of the matter??
Why is it that society only thinks it's acceptable to take things like pot or shrooms if you're terminally ill? We're all terminally ill in the sense that we all have a 100% chance of dying someday. Why not make those days more positive too?
FUCK YES. So fucken stoked that this was aired on the news. CNN of all places too! All hail Bill Hicks. I feel just a smidgen better knowing that millions of people saw this on television.
Lol I like the Bush clip at the end. I don't know why, Just sounds like a big fuck you to the shit he got for 8 years. Anyway I'm not really sympathizing I just think it's funny.
"Produce fear and intense anxiety"....yea if you don't know what the fuck you're getting into. Educate yourself and after that just relax, it'll make everything better.
@lustreboy Well, you do need someone with you that has done them before to help guide the experience. It can be scary if you don't know what to expect! Strict supervision? That depends on what is meant by that term. Even peyote is best experienced in community. That is why the Native American Church uses it as a sacrament, and does not recommend recreational use.
@MrGSmith129 ah well I was more refering to the term Strict. I've seen videos of US acid tests on soldiers, with Sergeants shouting at people who were very high indeed, and didn't know what acid was about at all. Don't want that :)
But I totally agree psychedelics should be done with people who know what's going on, and can provide a warm and supportive atmosphere. a good trip buddy is a good friend indeed :)
All Johns/Hopkins had to do was look at the Marsh Chapel Experiment and they would have found their answers but hey, at least there are 3 dozen more souls who have experienced what the "counter-culture" has been talking about all along.
@Illeagle98 Well, maybe they did read the Marsh Chapel experiment and was doing what scientists do. Replicate the experiment. It is standard procedure. Kudos to Johns Hopkins for being brave enough to do this study!
@PsycheDelectic This is the kind of ignorance we have to deal with. Yes the correct word would have been psychedelic, but maybe she doesn't know the difference, and thinks the two words are synonymous.
The usual dose for liberty caps is 30 mushrooms... once i ate 135! no problem except feeling a bit tired...you wimps who are scared to try them, or did it once, and then Never again..... eat more next time! they are our friends!
it would have been funny if someone from johns hopkins ran in the room with a Halloween mask on and scared the piss out of them. the outcome would have been completely different
I strongly suggest each and every grown individual to take at least 1 gram of dried shrooms, for me it had wonderful effects. Besides the feeling of oneness with the whole universe everyone reports, I managed to cure lot's of my neuroses, I stopped being socially awkward over-night almost, I felt a surge of self-confidence, it's like a inactive part of my brain suddenly kicked into high gear.
Fear & Intense Anxiety in "some" people . . . yeah, those people are probably heavy duty materialists aka ego maniacs aka control freaks . . .
What would Bill Hicks say? "Man, if the mainstream media continues to endorse psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelics I might soon have to stop watching porno and convert to Christianity . . ."
@Lacoux No they are not retards for the disclaimer. I took them for the first time not knowing what to expect, and I remember at one point looking down and seeing a rash on my chest. That was enough to convince me I was going to die, I freaked out and nearly called 911 before my friends stopped me... All in all I agree with this study though, they expanded my mind positively indeed. Id never do them again though!
Does it make sence why we are always trying to focus on terminally ill people. Does it really only help if you are terminally ill? Take this your dying. "Can I take that?". No, you may enjoy it for a significant amount of time. THIS GUY IS DYING!
This drug is therapeutic to everyone, not just ill people. I cannot recommend any other experience in life more than taking shrooms. It will make you sane.
@CvijaFaQ i couldn't agree more...shrooms kill your ego witch i see as a biggest enemy to humankind...and take away glasses of fear to learn the nature of things
Shrooms are good, but use them with care! In a environment that is save for you and feels relaxed. And read about them first and then u can have a really nice flight
@0cerpintaxt0 yes indeed use with care...what iv experienced is that if you take too much or if you have empty stomach,bad health in general then it can lead to bad trip aka what id say as uncontrollable loss of balance...but through it you will find truth faster
Notice while playing this, the CNN staff still continued calling naturally self-growing mushrooms, DRUGS. Therefore, the lettuce and all other plants that grow on their own are DRUGS, so to be politically correct, we all take DRUGS on a daily basis, and DRUGS are served on every street corner, at every restaurant, at every eatery imaginable. Nice of them to make us aware that they are hypocritical bastards, something we already knew...and here's "Tom with the weather"- Bill Hicks
This dimension of physical aspects(materialism) that we thrive in is merely an illusion that is produced to enslave us, however, there is another side, or another dimension or reality or whatever you want to call it out there, which is prohibited to use by the world elite(Rothschild Tribunal) because there lies your true spiritual potential which is infinite and has no end, rather then all of us experience this, they keep us in darkness by making us work for their global corporations, DMT...
The secret of having a good trip is not the dose it's the company you are in, the environment you are in and your current mental state, e.g. how much emotional baggage your are carrying at that time. I would only give, as indicated below, a noob 40-50 liberty caps for a 1st trip AND I'd be there to guide them through it and pull them out if the fell into a bad trip. I like shrooms (probably get some this year) but my best trips were peyote. :O)
If you ever decide to try magic mushrooms, make sure you have no major life problems. because all you'll do is sit there for 4-6 hours thinking about your problems. or worse. I've seen my bro turn crazy and think the cops were coming to take him away (he's had trouble with the law in the past) and I've seen people cry hysterically for a few hours. as for me, I have a wonderful time. in other words from my experience, make sure you have a clear conscience and no major problems in your life.
I love Mr Hicks but one thing he got wrong is that 5g is a heroic dose. Me and my friends have ingested ounces of fresh liberty caps and had no ill effects other than a bit of mind expansion and well a broken rib if you count the time my friend fell into tree covered pit in the woods. The lethal 50/50 dose for liberty caps is said to be 80lb of fresh shrooms, and who the fuck is gonna eat 80lbs. No harm done though Bill, we all make mistakes. :O)
@fishypaw i would imagine it wouldnt be close to 100 shrooms... dry or wet you will eat the same amount but wet shrooms will weigh alot more from all the water in it. there are 2 active compunds in most psychedelic mushrooms and one of them starts to degrade through drying, i find fresh shrooms to be more "magical" /shamanic... for me its always spiritual
There are also many types of shrooms at different potency for example you would not need to eat more than 1 amanita if that
@nomadicventures OK, so me and friends used to ingest anywhere from 200 - 1000 fresh mushrooms EACH. This has to be way more than the equivalent 5g dried, So you see my point when I say that I don't think 5g is a heroic dose. In fact compared to what me and my friends used to ingest, 5g is for pussies. :OP
@fishypaw dude all i can say is that on a 5 gram dose i have experienced complete ego death and unity with the divine- depixelation, and complete loss of any motor skills like becoming goop on the floor-
i dont know what kind of shrooms youve been eating but 1000 mushrooms of just about any kind seems like alot- i am very experienced and can vouch for 5 grams being a strong dose of shrooms in fact most people eat an 8th which is plenty to have a moderately strong trip with visuals at 3.5 grams
@nomadicventures Liberty caps - common name, British Psilocybe semilanceata. I am 44 years old and started tripping when I was 17. I used to own a lot of literature on mushrooms (confiscated by the drug squad). As Jimi Hendrix said 'I am experienced' ;O) . I swear on all that I hold dear in this world that I am not lieing or exagerating when I say we took hundreds at a time, we used to collect them by the bin liner full.
@fishypaw ... According to one of the books I owned, the lethal 50/50 does of liberty caps is 80lbs of fresh mushrooms. That means 50 people out of a 100 would lethaly overdose if they ate 80lbs of fresh shroom, and who the fuck could stomache that many, lol.
@fishypaw if someone who was turned on to tripping by this video read your comments and based on that ate way more than 5 grams they may have a terrifying experience- 3.5 grams is a safe bet for a great trip and 5 grams is gonna dissolve reality-
a bad trip is hell regardless of dose- and the farther down the rabbit hole you go the higher the risk- id recommend between 3.5 grams and not more than 5 grams for casual trippers
@fishypaw well if your that experienced i dont doubt youve taken many times more than a heroic dose. However being someone so experienced you should know that for a beginner or even casual tripper 3.5 grams is plenty and even that can be a difficult experience for those who arent prepared for it.
If you had to eat 500-1000 shrooms a trip people would never do it... Typically a trip to the fields dont yield me anywhere near 1000 shrooms and still may be enough for 4-5 people to trip on....
@nomadicventures I was just reading a UK tripper web site and they recommend 40 or 50 as a beginner dose but a lot of the guys say they regularly eat a 100 or more. I am not daft, I know how to introduce someone gently into tripping, I did it with many of my friends, but if you really wanna go cosmic then 200-300 is nice. We did go mad sometimes and I swear we did consume up to a 1000 each on several occasions. One night we got chased out the local woods by 'werewolves' LOL
@nomadicventures Unlike my friends, I never see things that are not there, I get visual and audio distortions but no monsters or gods. For me it was all in the mind, I'd be flying off into space (inner and outer) seeing the wonders of the universe unfold. I learned many things about pscycolgy from tripping. I think 'ego death' as you put it is a comon trip and although I hadn't named it I learned early on that true insight comes from detaching from the ego.
@fishypaw ive never seen something not there either rather i seem to be seeing things that are there all the time... Ego death i dont think is common during every trip, ive tripped and not experienced it- If you had experienced it you would know, because it is actually experiencing death- to completely die to the self- many people call this a bad trip when the are ceasing to be themselves they panic and distract however once you accept it it is beautiful and you have unity with God...
@fishypaw you say you have alot of shroom literature, id read some terrance Mckenna and a book called the sacred mushroom and the cross. The truth is mushrooms have been used in spiritual communion since the dawn of time. See the west takes spirituality out of everything so we have americans who do yoga to work off burger king and people who eat shrooms for kicks- its all about context. next time you trip try meditating by yourself and contemplating God- i bet youll freak at what you find
@nomadicventures I have no need of an invisible sky daddy, whether tripping or not. The universe is even more wonderful when you see it as it is, without 'magic'.
@nomadicventures I have studied philosophy, including language truth and logic by A.J. Ayer. I have read many books on theology and spirituality. I am not going to have a theology debate with you, but I would suggest that if you try to start one, be carefull of how you choose your terms and be clear about the meaning you wish to convey or others will dismiss you too.
if you trip alone and meditate with the knowledge that you may POSSIBLY find God i would bet you would... Doesnt matter how many books youve read, the truth is within-
if you ever try this id love to find how it went regardless of the outcome-
@nomadicventures I'll take your challenge happily and confidently but only if you agree to try the same. You do the same with the knowledge that there may possibly be no such thing as god. I would also suggest that you maybe read up to date scientific journals, particularly on the recent studies of the evolution of superstition and spirituality. I wish all your trips be good ones. Peace.
@fishypaw i definately will but so you to know, i spent my whole life not believing in god, or sometimes saying i did and not really knowing... Look up kundalini awakenings and its relation to the psychedelic experience... its amazing that if you go back enough all religions started with experiences of ecstatic states of consciousness that are identical and if not indistinguishable from a psychedelic trip-
@fishypaw we have taken the spirituality out of everything in the US for capital gain. Tattooing, dance, song, sensory deprivation, pain ritual, entheogenic experiences (tripping), meditation/yoga... all these things had foundations in spirituality-
- I spent 24 years doubting Gods existence and it was psychedelics that helped me find it-
spirituality has been part of the human experience since day 1 i think the question is not if the god experience exists rather if it exists outside the brain
@fishypaw I highly suggest you take DMT, a naturally occuring neurotransmitter found in your pineal gland that is responsible for your dream state. Once in this infinite space, which only lasts up to 5-10 minutes in earthly terms, you will understand that there is nothing to read or learn out there that you already dont have implanted in your soul, you, me, and all the people in the world make up the entity GOD, it is not a person, yet its an infinite positive energy that surrounds us.
@fishypaw go ahead and do it and we would not be having this discussion in this very moment. Yes I have proof, I've been in this actual space(dimension),just like any1 that has ever existed on this planet, one that you yourself visit during your deem-rem sleep, its something that is a part of your genetic makeup. Until this happens, you will constantly bug people about "proof","evidence", once you have done it, everything will be "evident". With this said, have a nice day
@fishypaw 2nd of all, how can you be listening to Bill Hicks' material and not think like he does, the righteous way of thinking on a higher plane? Until you take these naturally growing substances that have their imprint even on your biological makeup, then you cannot fully understand his point of view and the message that he's trying to pass off.
How long is it going to take before this stuff is legal !?! I support pot, shrooms, LSD, DMT, peyote, and other forms of mescaline. Did you see that asshole at 3:33? Grr
im one of the ones who experiences the fear and anxiety :( had some b4 goin into the cinema to watch jurassic park 3... not fun!! i left shortly after the 2 big dinosaurs were fighting ... my friend was sayin over and over, 'dragons, dragons!' i went out of the cinema to call the poison hotline to ask them to knock me out...DONT ASK!! i know its dumb but thats what i wanted.... then i had the massive idea, I NEED TO GO HOME TO BED THAT WILL SOLVE MY LIFE PROBLEMS...
"What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel. "
Psilocybin and LSD can indeed raise your Awareness but not to the degree of DMT. You guys want a religious experience? take Ayahuasca. I have been transformed ever since.
In a world where Prescott Bush can finance Hitler, help stand up the CIA, have his son running Zapata oil during the bay of pigs, be in Dallas for JFK, run the Iran/Contra coke smuggling death squads, fleece the S&L, become president of the Incubator babies than have the grandson get the job and do 911, WMD, PATRIOT act and all the lies, 2+2=5.
The greatest enemy of any one of our truths may be the rest of our truths. William James.
I agree with some others that posted before me - why should we only get to have certain life-changing experiences if we're on our death bed? Same thing as everyone pushing for "medical" marijuana; yes, it's great for those in pain & such, but the rest of us will continue to use it for recreational purposes. Just legalize it already... :/
Just don't do what I did. I overdosed big time! I had no idea how much to take and I made Bill Hick's "heroic" dose look like nothing more than a a teaser.
it still makes it sound like something "lasting" "profound" "weird" "tearing open of my heart" "experiences quite indistinguishible from classic mistical experiences"
@danielrrjd most of those quotes are way out of contex...being afraid isnt necessary bad...most are afraid of having a child, but most can agree it's a beautiful thing to do. Please don't be brainwashed by anti-drug propaganda..(and yeah, God dosent care. He made them..If you're into that kinda thing - I'll take the educated guess that you are. Sorry to be so presumptuous.)
hahahaha why should this only improve the life of terminally ill people WTF? is the government afraid of healthy people enlightening themselves?! this whole psychedelic prohibition seems to me more and more very much like the situation in the middle ages where people couldn't read or write due to church prohibition. now we might not be illiterate anymore but can't see beyond capitalist, worldly cravings, mainly because of state controlled drug prohibition. tragic...
Why is this experience only accessible to the sick ? How can I claim to be a free man, if the government even tries to control what I do within the context of my own mind ? such freedom is a joke ! The mystical state of enthogens is not only for the sick ! People must wake up, & govern their own minds, as truly FREE people would
@CaramelMarshmallow Hard to come by? They grow all over the place here. My grandmas garden is fucking infested with the things, same thing in the area I used to live.
"One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that 'an unjust law is no law at all'." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
psilosybon does change the way you think...it builds bridges and walls between the triggers and recievers in your brain. one trip with mushrooms will forever make a physical change to your brain. (i do not think its a bad thing either!)
@TyTrig Thank God I discovered psychoactive drugs in the 70s they opened my mind to the lies upon lies upon lies that we are told from birth. It's just a ride says Bill Hicks and he's correct. No wonder the assholes who rule this planet wanted them made illegal.
After taking mushrooms once I changed... I stopped wasting 6-8 of every day on video games and trivial shit... jesus christ I used to act like I had autism.
Now, it's a lot easier for me to be more productive and I actually a lot better, a lot more self confident as I actually for the first time in my life started developing proper skills
My whole life made so much sense, it's like "eyes of your own soul staring back at you"

Shrooms are good, but use them with care! In a environment that is save for you and feels relaxed. And read about them first and then u can have a really nice flight
0cerpintaxt0 1 year ago
@0cerpintaxt0 yes indeed use with care...what iv experienced is that if you take too much or if you have empty stomach,bad health in general then it can lead to bad trip aka what id say as uncontrollable loss of balance...but through it you will find truth faster

Notice while playing this, the CNN staff still continued calling naturally self-growing mushrooms, DRUGS. Therefore, the lettuce and all other plants that grow on their own are DRUGS, so to be politically correct, we all take DRUGS on a daily basis, and DRUGS are served on every street corner, at every restaurant, at every eatery imaginable. Nice of them to make us aware that they are hypocritical bastards, something we already knew...and here's "Tom with the weather"- Bill Hicks

This dimension of physical aspects(materialism) that we thrive in is merely an illusion that is produced to enslave us, however, there is another side, or another dimension or reality or whatever you want to call it out there, which is prohibited to use by the world elite(Rothschild Tribunal) because there lies your true spiritual potential which is infinite and has no end, rather then all of us experience this, they keep us in darkness by making us work for their global corporations, DMT...

The secret of having a good trip is not the dose it's the company you are in, the environment you are in and your current mental state, e.g. how much emotional baggage your are carrying at that time. I would only give, as indicated below, a noob 40-50 liberty caps for a 1st trip AND I'd be there to guide them through it and pull them out if the fell into a bad trip. I like shrooms (probably get some this year) but my best trips were peyote. :O)

If you ever decide to try magic mushrooms, make sure you have no major life problems. because all you'll do is sit there for 4-6 hours thinking about your problems. or worse. I've seen my bro turn crazy and think the cops were coming to take him away (he's had trouble with the law in the past) and I've seen people cry hysterically for a few hours. as for me, I have a wonderful time. in other words from my experience, make sure you have a clear conscience and no major problems in your life.

I love Mr Hicks but one thing he got wrong is that 5g is a heroic dose. Me and my friends have ingested ounces of fresh liberty caps and had no ill effects other than a bit of mind expansion and well a broken rib if you count the time my friend fell into tree covered pit in the woods. The lethal 50/50 dose for liberty caps is said to be 80lb of fresh shrooms, and who the fuck is gonna eat 80lbs. No harm done though Bill, we all make mistakes. :O)

@fishypaw 5 grams of dried psilocybin mushrooms are without a doubt a heroic dose.

@nomadicventures How many dried shrooms are in 5g?
fishypaw 1 year ago
@fishypaw 30 grams wet will weigh about 3 grams dried
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@nomadicventures OK, but my question is how many shrooms? Would you agree that at a rough guess that 30g (wet) is about no more than 100 shrooms?
fishypaw 1 year ago
@fishypaw i would imagine it wouldnt be close to 100 shrooms... dry or wet you will eat the same amount but wet shrooms will weigh alot more from all the water in it. there are 2 active compunds in most psychedelic mushrooms and one of them starts to degrade through drying, i find fresh shrooms to be more "magical" /shamanic... for me its always spiritual
There are also many types of shrooms at different potency for example you would not need to eat more than 1 amanita if that
happy tripping
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@nomadicventures OK, so me and friends used to ingest anywhere from 200 - 1000 fresh mushrooms EACH. This has to be way more than the equivalent 5g dried, So you see my point when I say that I don't think 5g is a heroic dose. In fact compared to what me and my friends used to ingest, 5g is for pussies. :OP
fishypaw 1 year ago
@fishypaw dude all i can say is that on a 5 gram dose i have experienced complete ego death and unity with the divine- depixelation, and complete loss of any motor skills like becoming goop on the floor-
i dont know what kind of shrooms youve been eating but 1000 mushrooms of just about any kind seems like alot- i am very experienced and can vouch for 5 grams being a strong dose of shrooms in fact most people eat an 8th which is plenty to have a moderately strong trip with visuals at 3.5 grams
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@fishypaw where are you from? what kind of shrooms are you ingesting?

@nomadicventures Liberty caps - common name, British Psilocybe semilanceata. I am 44 years old and started tripping when I was 17. I used to own a lot of literature on mushrooms (confiscated by the drug squad). As Jimi Hendrix said 'I am experienced' ;O) . I swear on all that I hold dear in this world that I am not lieing or exagerating when I say we took hundreds at a time, we used to collect them by the bin liner full.
fishypaw 1 year ago
@fishypaw ... According to one of the books I owned, the lethal 50/50 does of liberty caps is 80lbs of fresh mushrooms. That means 50 people out of a 100 would lethaly overdose if they ate 80lbs of fresh shroom, and who the fuck could stomache that many, lol.
fishypaw 1 year ago
@fishypaw if someone who was turned on to tripping by this video read your comments and based on that ate way more than 5 grams they may have a terrifying experience- 3.5 grams is a safe bet for a great trip and 5 grams is gonna dissolve reality-
a bad trip is hell regardless of dose- and the farther down the rabbit hole you go the higher the risk- id recommend between 3.5 grams and not more than 5 grams for casual trippers
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@fishypaw well if your that experienced i dont doubt youve taken many times more than a heroic dose. However being someone so experienced you should know that for a beginner or even casual tripper 3.5 grams is plenty and even that can be a difficult experience for those who arent prepared for it.
If you had to eat 500-1000 shrooms a trip people would never do it... Typically a trip to the fields dont yield me anywhere near 1000 shrooms and still may be enough for 4-5 people to trip on....
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@nomadicventures I was just reading a UK tripper web site and they recommend 40 or 50 as a beginner dose but a lot of the guys say they regularly eat a 100 or more. I am not daft, I know how to introduce someone gently into tripping, I did it with many of my friends, but if you really wanna go cosmic then 200-300 is nice. We did go mad sometimes and I swear we did consume up to a 1000 each on several occasions. One night we got chased out the local woods by 'werewolves' LOL

@fishypaw have you ever experienced ego death or encountered God on a trip?
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@nomadicventures Unlike my friends, I never see things that are not there, I get visual and audio distortions but no monsters or gods. For me it was all in the mind, I'd be flying off into space (inner and outer) seeing the wonders of the universe unfold. I learned many things about pscycolgy from tripping. I think 'ego death' as you put it is a comon trip and although I hadn't named it I learned early on that true insight comes from detaching from the ego.
fishypaw 1 year ago
@fishypaw ive never seen something not there either rather i seem to be seeing things that are there all the time... Ego death i dont think is common during every trip, ive tripped and not experienced it- If you had experienced it you would know, because it is actually experiencing death- to completely die to the self- many people call this a bad trip when the are ceasing to be themselves they panic and distract however once you accept it it is beautiful and you have unity with God...
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@fishypaw you say you have alot of shroom literature, id read some terrance Mckenna and a book called the sacred mushroom and the cross. The truth is mushrooms have been used in spiritual communion since the dawn of time. See the west takes spirituality out of everything so we have americans who do yoga to work off burger king and people who eat shrooms for kicks- its all about context. next time you trip try meditating by yourself and contemplating God- i bet youll freak at what you find

@nomadicventures I have studied philosophy, including language truth and logic by A.J. Ayer. I have read many books on theology and spirituality. I am not going to have a theology debate with you, but I would suggest that if you try to start one, be carefull of how you choose your terms and be clear about the meaning you wish to convey or others will dismiss you too.

@fishypaw
if you trip alone and meditate with the knowledge that you may POSSIBLY find God i would bet you would... Doesnt matter how many books youve read, the truth is within-
if you ever try this id love to find how it went regardless of the outcome-
happy tripping friend! we are all one
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@nomadicventures I'll take your challenge happily and confidently but only if you agree to try the same. You do the same with the knowledge that there may possibly be no such thing as god. I would also suggest that you maybe read up to date scientific journals, particularly on the recent studies of the evolution of superstition and spirituality. I wish all your trips be good ones. Peace.
fishypaw 1 year ago
@fishypaw i definately will but so you to know, i spent my whole life not believing in god, or sometimes saying i did and not really knowing... Look up kundalini awakenings and its relation to the psychedelic experience... its amazing that if you go back enough all religions started with experiences of ecstatic states of consciousness that are identical and if not indistinguishable from a psychedelic trip-
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@fishypaw we have taken the spirituality out of everything in the US for capital gain. Tattooing, dance, song, sensory deprivation, pain ritual, entheogenic experiences (tripping), meditation/yoga... all these things had foundations in spirituality-
- I spent 24 years doubting Gods existence and it was psychedelics that helped me find it-
spirituality has been part of the human experience since day 1 i think the question is not if the god experience exists rather if it exists outside the brain
nomadicventures 1 year ago
@fishypaw I highly suggest you take DMT, a naturally occuring neurotransmitter found in your pineal gland that is responsible for your dream state. Once in this infinite space, which only lasts up to 5-10 minutes in earthly terms, you will understand that there is nothing to read or learn out there that you already dont have implanted in your soul, you, me, and all the people in the world make up the entity GOD, it is not a person, yet its an infinite positive energy that surrounds us.
