How come people get great revelations on low doses of Lsd, some even weed?

[Demeter]

I had wonderful experiences on my first try of Lsd with a sitter. I took 300 mcg and it was revelatory, to say the least - the universe began to reveal its secrets.

Then yesterday, I tried 100 mcg on my own, in the manner I had done previously, listening to a psilocybin playlist with shades on. Needless to say, I prepared for it with serious intent. I had hoped to continue the journey in a small way. As the day wore on, it became apparent to me that low doses are for earthly affairs - they deal with another important realm - your physical, emotional and mental life. The insights you get are small steps in learning about yourself and others' lives.  This happened for me.  For example, I became aware of people in my family who needed my support and felt their pain. It was also emotionally cathartic - I felt that I let go of many sorrows - a process that began with 3 hours of straight crying!  So, in terms of evolution, the day speeded up lessons on the way to becoming a more complete, thoughtful and compassionate human being which otherwise might have taken several years. All good work!

But it is the higher doses that target another level or realm - revelations of reality, the universe and your place in it.  It seemed to be the case that in broad terms, the higher the dose, the higher the vantage point. This came to me as an insight but may be common knowledge here. Would you agree?

But some people here have reported great enlightening experiences on their first low dose of Lsd or smoking a joint of weed. How did they get to be in that position? Previous karma which induced a state of readiness?

Have you ever had breakthrough experiences from non-breakthrough doses? Would love to hear from you as to how you think they might have occurred.

Some people don't even need LSD at all!

Everyone is at a different level of spiritual attunement.

I chalk it up to medichlorians

@Demeter No matter where one is and what one ingests, if you listen intently, reality will always lead you to work on the ignorance that is important in that specific moment. Having any expectations of going into „higher realms“ is exactly what will hold pure, open discovery back - that‘s what limited me for a long time at least. How psychedelics work changes depending on what one has understood and how much one has purified. This is a journey we all need to go through one step at a time. So don‘t rush, take your time, and trust that when you sincerely look into your experience, you will find out what you need to find out at any given moment. This humility and openness is what paradoxically gets me much deeper than I often expect, even without psychedelics.

@peanutspathtotruth , thank you for this beautiful advice. 

The experience was making me wonder if the process of healing and purification would ever be enough because there is an immensity of things that need to be healed. So, could one get stuck at that point.

Yes.

@Demeter Realizing how much work there is can be both disappointing and humbling. If one accepts that, it can lead to even more compassion for oneself, patience and willingness to go all the way. I do think one can get stuck in shadow work. That's what psychotherapy without spiritual work is doing. That's why we look into the nature of reality at the same time. Don't worry, reality will tell you when it's time to let even healing go. You got this ♥
