so after doing lsd. i feel its like it opens an ability of abstract thoughts that you can have in your mind about a situation but your sense would convinve your brain not remember it cause otherwise you're god. so you that's why cant really explain what lsd is after you've done it.

Had the feeling of chewing on my brain while getting sucked in :)

I have seen this higher reality... Once I saw a ½meter diameter white spiral growing in size, bending everything around it, then sucking me in. The reality I saw felt more real than this once - it was like a parallel universe - a universe 001 where ours were the copy of the original. I started thinking about the meaning with life, our existance and I am studying science like hofmann did so I am normally never philosophical, very strange that I suddenly became that. I found the meaning with life

@jeffbriggs1987 Of course, a strong insight one may have while on an entheogen is that one doesn't need the substance to reach this level of understanding. That the understanding is there, and has always been, it's just up to us to open our eyes to it. Psychedelics offer us a wake up call, but we are the ones that need to get out of bed, instead of letting the reality phone ring indefinitely. Think of color changes and breathing walls as side effects of this medicine, albeit very fun ones.

@jeffbriggs1987 It depends on whether you think knowledge is a bad thing or good thing. Some would insist that ignorance is bliss, and would desire to stay within this 'matrix', unaware of how big the world they live in really is, and how much their experienced reality is caught in one tiny subjective box. They would hate to stray beyond the boundaries of this dimension of intellectual 'thought'. Others, like to expand their 'general knowledge' of being, and may mediate or ingest entheogens.

alone on a unknown trail with your mind and a little piece of paper. Life changing experience? I think so.
