Have psychedlics made you spiritual?

[my boyfriend has] never tripped and he doesn't understand the collective consiousness vibe. In fact, he's really big on evolution and thinks souls don't exist, and neither does an afterlife. He's scientific about everything...




I'm wondering, how many of you were turned spiritual by psychedelics? By spiritual I mean, believing that there is an afterlife, believing in reincarnation, believing in the soul or spirit etc. Personally I am like her boyfriend, I consider myself as reasonable and rational as is realistic for a human. I don't believe in god, the soul or an afterlife. I have taken MDMA, mushrooms, salvia, weed, DMT (oral and smoked), and mescaline. Though many times the experiences were extremely enjoyable or interesting they didn't change my view on spirituality.

DMT showed me the spirit world.  I'm not really sure if I live my life as a spiritual person though.

No, if anything they've helped push my viewpoints in the opposite direction.

I don't believe in a soul or an afterlife either.

Not really but they did help convert me from being an atheist to an agnostic.
All I know is that we don't know shit, and won't until we die.  So I just don't question it anymore.
Anybody who thinks they know what is going to happen or why we are here is fooling themselves.

Yes.  I mean, I used to believe in the religious god I guess, then a few years ago I took lsd, and i haven't really looked back since.  Not saying LSD made me not religious but i think it slowly over time made me a lot more open minded.  I am older now too I guess but I give credit to Lucy for showing me what could be. 

I consider- inner self to be spirituality, so have psychedelics made me more spiritual i'd say yes. but spirituality to me has nothing to do with religion .

Mushrooms made me more spiritual, but I discovered their existence while researching religion with the intent of experiencing it's original form, so in retrospect I see how my bias filtered the experience.

Many years later, after taking a break from psychs and then returning to big doses, I see it differently.

I practice mindfulness meditation and enjoy yoga, but don't consider myself spiritual. I've lately taken to describing myself as an atheist, too. Done all the DMT, LSD and shrooms in the world.

They're hallucinations!

I used to be a strong believer in God.  I was raised christian, and never had any reason to doubt it.  I tripped one time with friends, and loved it.  I searched around, found this site, and started growing.  I had more shrooms than I knew what to do with, and I was tripping every weekend, and sometimes during the week (tolerance anyone?) This went on for maybe a year.

At first I felt like the shrooms brought me closer to God.  It was like it put me on a different plane of existance...  Like I wasnt a mortal human anymore, but a spirit.  However, the more and more I tripped, the more I began to question if God was real.  It prompted me to do some research, and I stumbled onto THIS website.  After reading much of what his website had, and talking to almost all my friends about God, I am convinced that he is NOT real.  He is something made up by man because we are afraid of dying.

  I think that shrooms helped to open up my mind, they helped me to think for myself, and not just believe what people tell me.  Its easy to think something is true if your parents tell you its true from the time you are born.  If you were born blind, and your parents told you the sky was red, there would not be a doubt in your mind that the sky was red.  Sure there would be people that told you the sky was blue, but what do they know?  Who are you gonna believe, a complete stranger, or you parents who obviously love you, and have your best intrests at heart?

  This is my oppinion of course, and I am not trying to push it on anyone.  I respect whatever anyone wants to believe in.  I am simply trying to share my experience with you.

I was a hardcore athiest. Dismissed anything supernatural as "silly" and actively sought out such things just for the purpose of denying they existed.

Then I took some shrooms and had many other psychedelic journeys.

I think I've just realized that going around seeking to disprove everything is a nasty way to live. God is just a mental place that one can strive to get close to (or maybe even reach if buddhists are right) The important thing is to get in touch with it (him if you'd prefer). To really try to grasp the holiness of true reality. IMO to seek truth in reality is to seek closeness with god.  Every religion does this (if followed honestly and not misguided by extremists). I just have an anti-establishment personality, so this "alternative" way of knowing god works best for me. I feel like it's more honest. But really every religion will take you to a state of knowing god. They all lead to the same place.

hope thats coherent i'm pretty :awehigh: :lol:

I would have considered myself an athiest before my interests in psychedelics began.
But reading about psychedelics and peoples spiritual experiences with them
made me more open to ideas of spirituality and concepts such as panthiesm.
I would say that my first time tripping was just the solidifying factor in my opinion of spirituality.

I don't beleive in an all knowing, self concious supreme entity, the
traditional view of god.

But through psychedelics and philosophy i have been able to come about
a more open minded universal spirituality.

I beleive that "god", and the universe are the same thing.
That on a very basic level all of existence exists as a single entity
which we are a part of.

There is a universal "soul" and our individual conciousnesses
are extensions of that concious entirity, though we may not be aware
of our being a part of it.

We are all apart of a supreme love, we are one with it.
There is no path other than love.

A Love Supreme
I will do all I can to be worthy of Thee O Lord.
It all has to do with it.
Thank you God.
Peace.
There is none other.
God is. It is so beautiful.
Thank you God. God is all.
Help us to resolve our fears and weaknesses.
Thank you God.
In You all things are possible.
We know. God made us so.
Keep your eye on God.
God is. He always was. He always will be.
No matter what…it is God.
He is gracious and merciful.
It is most important that I know Thee.
Words, sounds, speech, men, memory, thoughts,
fears and emotions — time all related…
all made from one…all made in one.
Blessed be His name.
Thought waves — heat waves-all vibrations –
all paths lead to God. Thank you God.
His way…it is so lovely…it is gracious.
It is merciful — thank you God.
One thought can produce millions of vibrations
and they all go back to God…everything does.
Thank you God.
Have no fear…believe…thank you God.
The universe has many wonders. God is all.
His way…it is so wonderful.
Thoughts–deeds–vibrations, etc.
They all go back to God and He cleanses all.
He is gracious and merciful…thank you God.
Glory to God…God is so alive.
God is.
God loves.
May I be acceptable in Thy sight.
We are all one in His grace.
The fact that we do exist is acknowledgement
of Thee O Lord.
Thank you God.
God will wash away all our tears…
He always has…
He always will.
Seek Him everyday. In all ways seek God everyday.
Let us sing all songs to God.
To whoma all praise is due…praise God.
No road is an easy one, but they all
go back to God.
With all we share God.
It is all with God.
It is all with Thee.
Obey the Lord.
Blessed is He.
We are from one thing…the will of God…
thank you God.
I have seen Godd–I have seen ungodly–
none can be greater–none can compare to God.
Thank you God.
He will remake us…He always has and He
always will.
It is true–blessed be His name–thank you God.
God breathes through us so completely…
so gently we hardly feel it…yet,
it is our everything.
Thank you God.

nope.

Was always "spiritual" since I was a little kid.  My mom was good about finding subtle ways to work a real sense of magic and spirituality into everyday thangs.  Made my childhood beautiful and my later psychedelic use colorful to say the least.

Atheist --> LSD --> Mushrooms --> Atheist.

Unless you count being in total awe of nature and the cosmos to be considered "spiritual".  But i don't think theres anything like a 'soul' or afterlife and the like.
