Shrooms and becoming magically happy, is this how it works?
    #19103818 - 11/08/13 01:55 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I have a theory on why people feel so happy after taking shrooms.

On shrooms the people I have talked to feel like they are thinking extremely fast and accomplish maybe a year's worth of thinking in only 10 minutes. Most people have problems with the shallow things in life like finding a purpose such as fame or love. With shrooms they are able to think through their life and find great things in life and how they can accomplish their desires and reach a happy shallow conclusion about life. (By shallow I mean not deep, not "caring only about appearance")

However, for deeper people they have already thought about everything there is to think about regarding life, so shrooms do not have the effect of finding happiness in life because they've already reached their somewhat negative but beautiful conclusion about life.

I consider myself a deep person and I believe that I've thought to the extent any human can about life and have reached my own conclusion about what I can do with my life, so shrooms didn't have that "realizing oneself" or "finding happiness in life" feeling. I didn't have any new revelations what so ever, so does this mean I really have thought about everything or does this just mean I haven't taken enough shrooms? Are my realizations about life really all there is to discover?

You do not necessarily have all kinds of realizations, but you will see things from a different perspective and be amzed by the most simplest things.

If you have not just been totally blown away during a shroom trip you need to take more . . .

I don't know if that's true, I don't think they make you think at hyperspeed, I do think they strip away the ego though, and when you don't have this face to look into that tells you "No, don't worry about those insecurities, don't worry that you just feel like crying because your dog died, don't do x because society standard y doesn't call for that." That's when you learn

Once that conditioning is gone you are left with only YOU. At this point in the trip you actually start thinking of yourself and realize things like "Oh, I get it. My most primal emotions surface in my mind if I can't express them physically or otherwise (spiritually?) Turns out, I think I just want to love everybody and I just want to be loved. And the reason I was being an asshole was because I was afraid of facing up to that fact in this male-energy dominated society... etc"

I get what you mean about feeling like a 'deep' person because that's very much like how I'd describe myself, although I'd call it 'heady'. I'm in my 'head' a lot, constantly thinking and overthinking things. This is usually accompanied by social anxiety or a lack of confidence in yourself as a consciousness, that your physical, most satisfying and human forms of expression have been repressed because of the ego (which is formed as a result of society, on and on and on)

Or something along these lines... I think the most important realizations I've gained with my psychedelics experiences is that the mind and I are NOT the same. (Eckhart Tolle talks of this)
If I can be 'I' that means I'm in my body. Being in your body is associated with being relaxed, breathing into your belly, the absence of the ego. This is supposedly the state we were in back before society's existed and when the opinions of others really didn't matter. I think mushrooms put these facts into your face and say "LOOK. Understand that these feelings are what are important, not this idea of money or material possession, or satisfaction based on what other people want. That stuff is nothing, you must be happy" And when people understand their whole life was in pursuit of nothing but 'head' stuff, that's when the bad trip happens.

Funny you say this I am very run down by life by 25 now and I don't really get that happy on shrooms, just a very intellectual, visual experience.

But then I've had strong antipsychotics through my brain and they may have done something to the receptor sites.

But in the cases I'm referring to I hadn't been on the antipsychotics for months.

So yeah, anyway, I get what you mean.
