I might be converting back to Christianity
    #14628004 -

A series of unexplainable events and self meditation have lead up to this possibility. It is just so hard for me to revert back to the psychedelic state. Leaving my trust with drugs that change your brain chemistry, I can't rule out the chances of the experience being my imagination controlling my beliefs. I feel the need to humble down and accept myself as a naive human who does not know any better but trying to make sense of the unknown through psychedelic drugs out of desperation to fill my curiosity.

So you were seeking the answers of life through drugs? That seems just as outrageous to me as finding answers through religion.

Just accept the fact that none of us know anything, and enjoy the time you've got :thumbup:

Hey bro, good for you! Hope you find what you are looking for.

Also, drug use isn't going to get you anywhere in life. It might make you feel good, but you sure as hell aint learning any secrets from using them.

Yes at one point, it the same story for many psychonauts who use to drugs in order to achieve enlightenment since it is all so convincing. The whole idea of seeking true reality or a different perspective is what drives most psychedelic users to continue usage.

I continue to use psychedelics because they're amazing. It's crazy to me how you can eat a few mushrooms and completely leave this reality.

Although, I take the trips at face value. I don't look for deeper meaning from my experience, because I know that I am on drugs.
I take them for fun. Sometimes mushrooms will make me face things in my life I otherwise would have ignored, and they can be constructive; but you aren't going to get any answers about life from them.

My advice is to take a break from psychedelics, but don't go seeking answers from religion. Religion provides answers, but they are bullshit. Instead, observe the world around you, take it in, appreciate it, love it, and accept the fact that you will NEVER KNOW ANYTHING!

I did, and my life has been an incredible ride since.

Hey man, if your choice is from the heart Christ will welcome you back :hug:

To me they don't bite. God created psychedelics, the opportunity to take them, the session that unfolds and how that affects you. As much care goes into every aspect of that as in crafting the proton.

I dont think they take it very phiolosophically. I mean i guess there are some really nice christians im not hating on them, but from what ive seen they seem to take it pretty much at face value.  Example: 'jesus christ is our savior' 'he died for our sins' 'all of jesus glory', all seem face value to me.

:facepalm:

no.. when i said "they" was people studying the bible first of all, not the C & E crowd (thats when you go to church on christmas and easter).

did you know a lot of "acid" heads talk about the trinity?

Most eras thought of Jesus through the esoteric tradition, not modern literalism

Philosophy and Christianity are not mutually exclusive.  The bible is a very weird and contradictory book.  If everybody took it at face value, they'd be stoning people to death for working on Sunday. 

The Bible has been reinterpreted again and again since it was written.  This is why we have so many different varieties of Christianity.  Look at Martin Luther or John Calvin for differing religious philosophies.  Hell, even the Catholics differ from the Orthodox on the nature of the godhead. 

There are many, many points of contention among different sects of Christianity and even within sects.  So, yes Virginia people in Bible class are likely better versed in Christian philosophy than the layman.
