Past trips and music
    #18989159 - 10/17/13 12:15 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Well I'm gonna start off with a little background info. I started using psychedelics at a decently young age. I loved them, I had beautiful fun filled bonding times with my best buds and after each trip I loved life more and more. Looking back, I miss those days so much already. It's only been a few years, but the things I've experienced during those trips and the connections I've felt with the people and music just feel so deep.

When I listen to certain songs now, I just feel flooded with some of the same emotions from when I was tripping. It takes me back to how I was feeling, where I was, who I was with, what we were doing... I just got done listening to a song and it almost brings tears to my face. I love music, but sometimes it can just be too much for me. Its like it too much of a good thing feels bad. I feel like my youth is just slipping away. And that was one of the big reasons I used to trip more frequently, because I was living life during those times. I was present. And now looking back, I'm realizing how fast life is going by. I don't know if my spontaneously-fun-trippy self might be a better state of mind than how this world is  shaping me as now.

I guess I should trip again? I just feel like I'm losing sight of myself.

I guess this post was more like therapy for me rather than an actual productive post for the community. Oh well.

Getting older can be tough, time really does fly.  Especially when we look back fondly on our younger days. 

It's not too late to be present and alive today.  Make more good memories that you can mourn for later!  :tongue:

What makes us change in the first place, I would guess responsibility. Less responsibility = happiness??

I Don't know SomeGuyX, this post could be more Productive than you think.. I mean Hell, you basically described what my relationship with Psychedelics is like these days... and you got me thinking...

I'm pushing 30, and I Know The real world comes at you hard and fast. Having to function as a gear in The Machine takes it's toll, and it change's one's perspective on what is important in life. Sometimes I am so entranced by the day to day routine that I forget what I am doing it for. I feel lost. Blind. I don't know what my next move should be. It's personally very difficult to take a step back and honestly look at my life.

It's been a few years since I've really danced with psychedelics and I could Use a Shift in perception!

I remember walking home from a spun out party with 2 friends. The crisp, wet, morning air filled my lungs. The sun thrust through cotton ball clouds like a beam of orange marmalade, setting the yellow and crimson trees ablaze. Hundreds of Busy little ants ran all around us, going about their productive days like we didn't even exist. We all remember feeling a spiritually deep connection with one another. We were all thinking the same things as we walked those couple miles down High St. We were walking by a large brown brick building which had a hilly driveway just beyond that ran into the road. As we Passed we looked to our left and saw a Red Mini cooper parked on the hill. The moment we saw the parked Mini we all thought it was coming right at us! With a collective "aaauuh uuuaaah!" we jumped back tripping over each other and falling flat on our asses! I will never forget that..and i miss it!

Personally, i fell Like I am happy when I don't let my worldly responsibilities cloud my Perception.
I've found that my experiences with psychedelics usually leave me with a Fresh more awake mind. And a new perspective

-Some personal therapy too, but why not!

Have you heard the saying, change is the only constant?
It's not only responsibility that forces change and adaptation.  Meeting new sorts of people, gaining knowledge and perspective, it's all one big learning experience if you let it be.

Responsibilities do start to pile up, but growing stronger and making it work feels good. 
You don't have to lose yourself (necessarily :wink: (or maybe it's inevitable :tongue:))

It's amazing how the music can take you back.

I was annoyed by Jimi Hendrix's Crosstown Traffic on one of my trips. Still can't listen to it.

Looks like we can both relate pretty well. A  lot of it has to do with responsibility probably, but I've adapted to it well. A lot has been thrown my way the past year, and it definitely has changed me. Your story reminds me of how I felt too. We all felt connected. When I tripped, they would trip. We used to walk around his neighborhood in the middle of the night all the time. NOBODY was out. We would only see a couple other people each time we tripped. We pretty much captured the beauty of tripping at night. When we walk around his neighborhood now, I still get flooded with memories. Even though it's hard to remember each individual trip now, I always start to remember them when I walk around his neighborhood.

I'm just a little sensitive to life sometimes.

I can totally identify with all of that.



I tripped a lot in my teens and for a while I got into the Moody Blues. They were a very trippy band back in their day. If I put on the album A Question of Balance, it brings me right back to being 16-17-18 years old and I'm reminded of all the feelings and thoughts I had. I rarely listen to that stuff because it's a little uncomfortable and I don't want to spoil it.


There's no question about it - as you get older and you experience more things, the novelty of everything gets diminished.I'll use Christmas as an example.

When you were a kid, Christmas day was amazing, it was like the high point of your life. As you get older and your perception of time speeds up and repetition builds up, it seems like every time you turn around it's Christmas. Then you think back to past Christmases and they all blur together. The only ones you really remember were when you were a kid. At this rate, by the time you're like 80 you won't see novelty in anything. That's why some old people (like my dad) are such grumpy shit heads. "Fuck Christmas, it's an annoying pain in the ass" -my dad.

I returned to psychedelics after 30 years, partly in search of that novelty feeling. I want that back again. Instead of just another Christmas season, which is fine, I want something to make it feel special. I want to feel like a kid again.

the beautiful thing is no matter how wound up you may or may not have become, psychedelics can unwind you and return that childhood wonder...
and if you can apply that perception with your capability to self sustain and provide for yourself...you're really in a good place.
sure you may be getting older, but that just means you have more experience and knowledge. stay curious and open.. don't view age or time with a negative connotation, it really is a good thing to mature and wisen up. to take the reigns, or so they say...

Many people on the Shroomery are some of the most thoughtful and intuitive people I've ever talked to. I wasn't expecting these responses at all, I'm glad that everyone can relate and actually take the time to reflect on deep discussions like this.

Thanks everyone. Much love. I'm just glad I can recognize these thoughts and feelings of myself early on, I feel more... Conscious of my consciousness :smile:
