"the game" - THE PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE 1

If I recall correctly in the book "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" there was a section in the beginning all about the subtle little social mind-games that people play and called all of it "the game"
Ken Kesey was a huge promotor of being completely up-front and honest as often as possible, putting yourself out there as a whole and transcending above the fear's that ultimately cause us to seek power and acceptance in subtle ways. That whole book is a really great read actually I highly recommend it, it's got some inspiring stuff in it.
Do you think using psychedelics has made you more aware of the subtle complexities that run behind the traditional decision making that comes into play when people find themselves in specific situations? Or in short, "the game"?

it's helped me in subtle ways that i didn't even realize until weeks after a trip. for instance I realized I don't argue almost at all. i've learned to let go of things and realize that I can't change things so why bother giving in to those negative thoughts.

Well what kind of "arguing" are you talking about? I think being able to dispute opposing ideas with people is a normal healthy thing to do.

the usual day-to-day pointless arguing at home or at work out of anger. not as in debating, i probably used the wrong word, like quarreling or bickering about stupid shit, especially with myself. like if i don't agree with something i'm made to do at work, why get mad. i should just comply and get the shit done. or when i was talking with a friend and he got pretty mad at me about something ridiculous, I just said, look I'm your friend why are you yelling at me like this over something so stupid, and it did end up working. where as before I'd probably respond defensively and try to call him out on something else. pretty sad, but i'm glad i've moved on from even little things like this.

Psychedelics introduced me to 'the game'. But psychs alone are not 'the game'...life is 'the game' but with psychs you are more aware of its existence and how it works. Its like were all playing monopoly and the trippers are the ones that soaked in enough 'game' they realize that they are indeed playing a game. Most of the others do not even know, so they remain prisoners. Thus the game can 'shapeshift' from a game into a jail/prison
-------------------- Something there is mysteriously formed, Existing before Heaven and Earth, Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging, All-pervading, unfailing, I do not know its name; I call it tao. If forced to give it a name, I call it Great (ta). Being great, it flows out; Flowing out means far-reaching; Being far-reaching, it is said to return. It's just a shot away..

I get the sense that there is a sort of significance to what I have done in this "existence" when on psyches, it lingers
Also get a sense iv'e come to this conclusion before.

Some people just have no idea about it and if you brought something up they had done they would just be right confused haha. I've always realized it in others, myself too, but physcs have definitly made it easier for me to see in others and in myself, especially myself. Gotta straigtin my emotions out to shape others you know!

Yeah before I tripped I wasn't so aware about the "game" but after realizing this it has helped me feel so much better about myself. It does make me sad though because i believe that deep down inside everyone knows that its a game, I just wish everyone would stop pretending so that way maybe life could be beautiful.

Psychedelics definitely effected the way I think and make decisions. It put philosophy into every mental equation. It's like there's a buffer of thought between me and reality and it protects me. I know deep down that there's something going on that I can't possibly understand, so whatever happens good or bad, it's not the whole story. In a different universe or dimension (or whatever) I'm able to see the big picture and it all makes sense.. but this version of me is here and now and I have to deal with it. But is this real? I should carry on as if this is real in case it actually is. Did you ever pass out, and then wake back up totally disoriented like kids who hyperventilate? Ever do that? At some point I'm gonna wake up just like that and I'm gonna look around and realize that I've just returned from the human life I'm experiencing right now. Then it will all make sense.
