What exactly is a trip?

I have used some psychedelica in the past and will also do so in the future. But the thing that stings my mind is, what exactly is a trip? I did shrooms, 4-ACO-DMT (only in low doses so far) 4-HO-MET, 2C-I, 2C-C or an combination of the above. And never did I fully understand what a trip is in this physical reality.
Seeing that there are very experienced people here, I would really like to know what those people think what a trip is in this reality. If you would like, you can also explain why you think it is that way. I know some substances might give different experiences but for the sake of complexity I would like to take tripping in general.

This whole thread is a mess and it needs more thought added into it but I see what you were aiming for.
The trip..the trip is a place you go TO WATCH TIME FLY!!

The trip is what you make it, just as life is

If I knew the way, I would take you home.

I would say extension but those are very limited narrow sighted options, look at some trip reports on erowid that heped me when I first started tripping. What it comes down to is you have to decide which of those options is right in YOUR eyes

Psychedelia is far better of a term than "trip". But I guess at the end of the day, all it really is, is mental "filter" inhibition.
-------------------- On the ground you lay, with your dogs you pray, at a neon hieroglyph sky you gaze Hugging your mind, praying to survive, feeling the love of the hieroglyphs in the sky We all need more love, and mainly less hate Hate is the blind that covers the heart's eye That makes the heart's eye cry Locked deep away in the skies of our minds It's all in the mind

You have no control of what you feel.
When you are sober you are more controlled by "distance"..You accept the same day to day stuff.. Set limits on yourself, accept defeat, have a wide range of emotions. There was at some point in the earlier stages of humanity, where people were generally the same, the same as far as IQ and physicality goes. We lived off the land, we didn't mass produce animals, change their genetic code, torture them over currency. The value of a dollar is more than a humans life.
Today, this modern society in the year 2013AD is controlled....It was all by design from the beginning. Only... It got worse and worse over time. Just LOOK, hear, see, smell, and feel around you. IMAGINE a different way of the world. Not a different planet, but a better earth...Without hunger, envy, lust, pride, gluttony, fear, hate...etc.. All of those types of things cause negativity...
Some say..How can a LOVING GOD ALLOW all of these things, well..because there IS a devil roaming around the world... He is the GOD of earth, meaning he can manipulate EVERYTHING... But he does it in a way we don't fully understand... But what we do know is that nobody's ever seen him.. Maybe he is just embedded into us and we let him out with our hearts.. If your emotion or actions are heartless he is twisting and turning you so once you die, you go to your own personal hell.. A spiritual one..
Once we die in a trip, our body is still a live functioning.. We call that an ego death experience.
Imagine a physical death experience.. Your end of life (EOL) process.. Everything you are afraid of slowly but surely come to accept it.
My mother just died last month.. She was in denial.. Or just sober for far to long and smoked cigarettes since she was nine years old. She was a real b.i.t.c.h most of my life but towards the end she just gave up.. I don't wanna call her a bitch per-say, but we never really did like each other. She was phony, arrogant, lazy, mean..
But on the plus side she was giving when she had it, wasn't a druggie, other then cigarettes.. What I mean by druggie someone who does opiates, crack, or whatever to feel good and "escape" for a while. She lived full force with her conditions. She was smoking cigarettes since she was 9, and she died at 64. She did not care..
Getting to the point, during the last few moments of her life, I had this feeling that she was scared of letting go..of life.. dying.. She would say god will save me I believe... But purposely destroy your body with rat poison and fiber glass... For 55 years of her life.. NON FILTERED AT THAT..
It seemed she was taken by satan because she was willing to not only dabble into cigs...especially at that young age... and for the simple fact after knowing for years what they did...smoke around children..including me... yes she had me at a late age in her life. AND for the fact that I have been telling her for years exactly why they are bad... she still refused to care. I would tell her god doesn't like that.. and.. Do you think you'll go to heaven smoking cigs, purposely destroying her body? She would say yeah its not that bad..other people do more..yadda..yadda..yadda
But in reality she probably is burning in hell... someone who treated me bad, someone I despised and wished would go away.. And now she is gone forever... And I have to live with that. but like it feels wrong if shes in hell.. She didn't deserve that..
But I'm not the judge so my opinion doesn't mean shit..
An then oh wait... I'll be there one day to... wonderful...
just fucking wonderful..
But I don't suicide because of that TEENY TINY percent chance my afterlife will be fantasic..
I'm in my twenties, I feel like I already wasted my entire life... my entire twenty somethin years of living.. And I only get like triple that life span...MAYBE...
Living for 500 years would still be to close to the gap that takes you into eternal damnation..Lettalone 70-100... LUL
What if none of us live that much longer.. People THINK they will because they see old people... lol.. They aren't being hammered with the same shit WE are at EARLIER ages.
Anyway, i'm done typing for now..

Like I'm going on a trip to the coast in a few months, same thing really but instead of driving your taking mind-altering substances and instead of the coast, your going into your mind/opening up your mind w/e you want to call it.

The trip is altered PERCEPTION.
Like a NFL quarterback, the most important thing is PERCEPTION!!
Its all how you view the object.

Life condensed to a few hours of experience. But with a little more kick.
