Psychedelic Drugs

Here's a good analogy for psychedelic drugs that I thought of. Our normal everyday perception is darkness. We are shrouded in darkness. Psychedelics are a key which open a far off door. On the other side of the door is pure, beautiful, naked light. When you open the door, for the period of time the door is ajar, we can finally see clearly. Some drugs open the door slowly and they degrade the space in between you and the door. Like a star millions of light years away, it takes millions of years for us to see it. Drugs like mescaline, LSD, and psilocybin are the slow ones. First, you see only a hint of light, a small glow, and it gradually grows larger. This is the come up. For the hours in which the door is wide open, this is the peak, the plateau. When the door begins to shut, the light slowly fading away, is the comedown. But for DMT, the door is slammed open. The light hits you instantly. It's so fast you can't even perceive the opening and closing. It's just BAM! Pure, intense, immediate illumination.

I've been thinking a lot about psychedelics and reincarnation.
I now feel like living is like the spirits taking a psychedelic trip. I think most of them live atleast once, just to know. And just like psych's, I think everyone should trip atleast once, just to know. Then you have this idea about other realities, but you dont have to do it again, unless you like to.
Then the spirits are on a webpage called The Lifery where they talk about ways in which they can come to life, getting more and more far out each time, knowing they will always come back to the center, but during the trip being unaware of it.
And the one day you find yourself tripping on this life, and you've decided before hand to guide youself into this situation and into this thread and are now reading my post.

Incarnation into this existence is merely a way for the soul to learn the lessons it needs before it may move further up the etheric ladder towards Source (as all souls will eventually become one with the One Infinite Creator again). The human experience is the best experience for a soul to have as this is the most effective classroom/playground for the soul to grow. Assume, if you will, that every experience is just a lesson to be learned. If you find your way through every experience to peace and love then it is a lesson learned.
However, most who get incarnated into the human density tend to be distracted and enraptured by materialism and other pointless distractions. This is stupid, as why would you waste your opportunity to end the cycle of reincarnation by being a douchebag to people and effectively learning nothing? We are just spiritual beings having a human experience, as someone said.

Reminds me of the Allegory of the cave. Wiki it.

I agree, but only half way. That is just the stage of the journey they are in. I can only look down on their ego's, but as a spirits having a human experience, no one is any more valid than the other. We NEED those people like god needs the devil. Otherwise he would be pointless. The only way we can understand our stages in the journey is by other stages in the journey that are apparent because of other people. Alan Watts speaks extensively on this.
After all, we're all just god experiencing god experiencing god

You are very much correct. All possibilities must be, shall be, and will be experienced.

I am a big fan of the Allegory of The Cave but didn't see the connection until you mentioned it!
