good trips are usually pretty boring. unless they're, y'know, extra good. bad trips are so insanely ridiculously hilrarious. Abudcted by aliens, space demons, madlad behavior, encounters witrh the police. this is the divine comedy. (obviously not talking about my own bad trips here. I dont think I would ever act out cause Im a *responsible psychonaut*

I fucking love the r/drugscirclejerk subreddit. I think having some humorous self awareness is the first step in dealing with serious problems. Everyone has their own psychedelic experience. some people like mushrooms, don’t like lsd. I love lsd. babe, I remember when I was talking about how I could eat acid for breakfast . and now matter how strange it got it remained a great time . even when I took one of the same edibles from the next night. that brownie absolutely was the most stoned I have ever been in my life , but this night the lsd and the edible syngerzied in a way that I was able to remain hyper conscious in this thc hole trip. Absolutely reggie . God , past lives, all that fucking nonsense. all God . let’s have an orgy. Now DMT, Psilocybin, those guys scare the shit out of me. Alien beings , mischevious, and very horny, like a sexy succubus. I want to become her. She’s God, she’s the devil, she’s everything.

go lock yourself in a room with no light for 10 days. you’ll trip sack, face your deepest fears, and maybe even astral project. I havent done it lol. but tell us all how it is if you do!

Chris Sawyer created the original Roller Coaster Tycoon, by himself, in Assembly maybe that doesn‘t seem as impressive as some of the accomplisments here but as a CS geek it boggles my mind.

Feeling downright sorry for myself. Imaginary possible past life scenarios Two lifetimes ago. I'm a man living in southern California. It's the early 90s. I'm 26 now. My little brother was killed by the police when I was 16. Shortly after I began experimenting with drugs with my friends. I try all the psychedelics, stimulants, and few opioids. My favorite drug by far is methamphetamine. I love going on benders and the feeling of insanity. I enjoy mixing meth with over the counter cough syrup and sleep medicine. I checked myself into rehab after a particularly nasty bout of deliriant and sleep depirvation induced psychosis. Life is starting to feel real again. My face is looking better. In the previous life time. I'm a sadhu in northern India. I smoke prodigious amounts of marijuana every single day and pray to lord shiva. I live amongst the homeless. I try to help the heroin junkies overdosing in the street as much as I can. People respect me. they're more likely to give to me than the other homeless. I donate whatever I can to the hopeless heroin addicts. I left my family when I was 16, I haven't seen them in years.

It's hard to convey my love of cannabis. If you the worst that comes of using this plant it not accomplishing goals, becoming lazy, that's actually wonderful. Some people , like me, create whole imaginary worlds, very different from the human dream. The laws of physics change, this other world is so uhman, so alien from consensus reality. Inhabiting it for years is like suicide. My soul craves Earth, humans, and relationships. People can't read your mind in the human dream. It feels invasible when people start reacting to your thoughts in such an obvious and tangible way. The weed dream was fun. I love it. Better psychedelics, meditation, and Love can give me everything I want. I need some sex. I need a girlfriend. I need normal days. I need a quiet dream. The cannabis dream is so loud, so shakti, so crazy and anxious. So awe inspiring, so consuming.

without spirituality the brutality of survival would be so overwhelming, I used to want a metor to come down and wipe out all the life on earth, now I can playfully laugh at the whole ordeal consciousness finds itself in on this planet, every bad trip ends, eventually. it all returns to love in the end.

dxm is a underrated psychedelic. more visual than ketamine.

it has a lot in common with a high dose of edible cannbis. from my experience. the center of consciousness can merge with the surface you’re lying on.

@integral when people say mushrooms are loving, I find that so interesting because of how 180 degrees it is from my experience with them. and nn dmt. wow. people think it’s just this blissfull beautful thing. people really do exist in their own reality

@Joscha invisible guru forum jed mckenna (the “real” one) disagrees with book jed mckenna on that point. awakening is beautiful. book jed mckenna has a nihilistic streak. forum jed mckenna is much more conscious of the beauty and love of God. nihilism is only like stage one of awakening.

ketamine addiction… utterly horrifying be very careful guys. even monthly dissociative use can damage the bladder . Before using ketamine to treat depression for example, try “real” psychedelics. go to ketamine only if the first doesn’t work.

In rehab I had a “trip” or sleep paralysis experience where I took visteril to sleep with a noisy roomate. I remember waking up and there were these ghosts in my room, when they noticed me I realized they were my friends. We tried to exchange words but as soon as we did they would disappear. I think I went to sleep about 3 times because it came back in waves. When I went back to sleep it felt like there was a party going on in my room, with random people running in through the walls and closed door. it was quite unsettling, I didn’t use that medicine again.

insights into bad trips — there’s a huge amount of variation amongst nightmarish experiences. dumbassery and low consciousness reckless behavior are the primary factors that edge the merely bad trip into the psychologically damaging area. one idiot who ate an entire bushel of datura and ended up getting arrested exemplified this to me. — synthetics such as LSD, 2C-b and the 5 meos which generally bypass spiral dynamics stage purple delirium and “evil” are a miracle and a luxury of the modern world. life wasn’t always so easy for psychonauts. experiencing a sisnister version of alien consciousness on mushrooms made this crystal clear to me

even if you’ve been in the game for awhile , I think this book might still blow your mind just a bit, it did me. plus there’s lots of great sexual tension between Jane and her husband. fantastic read/ listen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KepX0sfECUI&t=6313s

today I took an “extra large” (as per the package instructions) of legal amanita muscaria gummies hoping to go deep while listening to the gateway experience tapes. nada, zilch, nothin, but in some youtube comments lots of people were saying that they have been able to have a trip on this substance. I wonder if it’s one of those things where only half the population are able to digest it properly or somethin.

consider that a hyperspace being could be inside you right now (or you inside it?) unseen and apply that to the third dimensional universe as a whole

the scary thing about mushrooms is you never know what you’re gonna get, you don’t know if the 4 gram trip dose you do one week is gonna be less insane than the 6 gram trip you did last time. it’s also the best part about mushrooms. they often act as mirror of the most evil parts of yourself, but you can come out of that feeling like you excercised your demons and are reborn

lock myself in a pitch black room for a few days. get really good at astral projection. binaural beats to a lesser extent and prolonged darkness to a very great extent will release endogenous dmt and cause you to have transpersonal (perhaps not psychedelic per se) experiences

watching the chronicles of narnia on around 300 ug of LSD added an emotional and spiritual punch. aided by the nature of the movie itself being very Biblical of course. I experiened ego death as Asland died and God consciousness when he came back, it was a gorgeous experience. not an easy trip by any means. like when Asland died, it felt truly terrifying. as if I was Asland. watched pirates of the caribbean right after and at this point I was profoundly sleep deprived as this was a latenight trip so I had the experience of just goofing off with my mates and wishing the trip would end so I could go to bed lol. side note we had a friend who wasn’t tripping but he definitely also felt some effects from us. these things alter our brainwaves, which probably can also affect others.

thanks . next time I’ll try a different brand!

all of a sudden have an urge to learn the math of game design. physics is crazy. I wouldn’t mind making a game or two. just for fun, I don’t wanna work in the industry. maybe I’ll make a game with my own music in the soundtrack. that would be a badass way of combining my skillsets. concept art would most likely be outsourced.

conservative doing some good metaphysics and epistemology. gets a little too triggered by secualrism for my taste. could go farther and deeper. very interesting overall and a different perspective from what I'm used to with leo and others, but covers lots of the same ground.

One absolutely central inconsistency ruins [the naturalistic worldview].... The whole picture professes to depend on inferences from observed facts. Unless inference is valid, the whole picture disappears.... Unless Reason is an absolute--all is in ruins. Yet those who ask me to believe this world picture also ask me to believe that Reason is simply the unforeseen and unintended by-product of mindless matter at one stage of its endless and aimless becoming. Here is flat contradiction. They ask me at the same moment to accept a conclusion and to discredit the only testimony on which that conclusion can be based. — C. S. Lewis

more ways in which I as a liberal am conservative 1.) psychedelics — I don’t know shit about psychedelics, every trip is unique. — I try not to to reckless things, for instance I haven’t had a breakthrough trip on dmt “just because that’s what you do” , all my dmt trips thus far have been low-dose and will continue to be low-dose until I’ve gotten all I can out of it — I’m extremely cautious about my marijuana use, I went to rehab when it was taking over my life and followed up with recovery meetings because I don’t want my life to be out of my hands 2.) work ethic I believe in the value of hard work. I know that if I don’t take school seriously I’ll live a mediocre life. 3.) sex and dating as I previously stated, I haven’t had sex with every single person I potentially could have. Generally speaking if I don’t see a future with someone I won’t have sex with them just because. I am extremely cautious about playing with women’s feelings. I don’t want to hurt anyone. 4.) technology and artificial intelligence, I am on board with calls to limit research into ai until we can learn more about it. we need to make sure it’s morally aligned to our highest good before plowing forward. 5.) spirituality I think there’s a right and a wrong way to do spirituality. neo advaita is bs for instance. understanding God is a serious pursuit for serious thinkers, not a wishful thinking “already enlightened” thing. furthermore I recognize that taking a bunch of psychedelics or becoming a great meditator is NOT the same as awakening. fundamentally awakening is about serious contemplation, not practices. the practices are only good if they’re in service of contemplation.
