I think the common experience is, we all have thousands of absolutely universe-shattering revelations during a good trip but can't remember shit about them the next day. Sort of like the Celtic legend of "Faerie gold"--you dance with the Fair Folk and they bestow lovely gifts, which turn to coal and dust when you empty your pockets in the morning.
Still a few fresh insights remain after repeated journeys: a more open & accepting way of looking at things, an enhanced perception of pattern & detail, a deeper sense of wonder at the sheer amazingness of it all, that is not always present but periodically seeps through the cracks of ordinary daily existence. An abiding sense of the miracle which lies behind the mundane.

I've had all those revalations and a few others too. Once on a bunch of acid I fully realized that society is based on primate heirarchy and it's all a big game designed to gain power and sex. I've also realized that "things" are defined by their relationship to other "things" and that everything is contextual. There's been more but that's all I can think of right now.

I realized that reality is an illusion to keep us from going crazy.

Just A Punk, thats a pretty interesting way to look at it...somebody on the shroomery has a quote that i really liked: Reality is just an audio-visual demonstration of where your attention is at...or something like that. very true too..
i remember on acid i was listening to Come Together and whenever the bass would hit it would feel like a long fucking time...moments of eternity or something...and every time i listen to that now i "relive" the trippy feeling minus the visuals--whenever i watch alice in wonderland i also get the trippy feeling from when i watched it the last time on acid...not much of a revelation or life changing thing but i just thought id mention it
We're all mad here...

The fact that a consiousness exists to speak to me about the shell of existence that I live in quite amazes me. Meet yourself on the etherial plains and combat your closest friend or neighbor. You will come back a more whole person and have one pissed off roommate.

On my last acid voyage I realized that I only trust what I KNOW. And that we are all one, of course, hehehe

i had the same sort of primate realization that society is nothing but a circus of sex and power and as ego dissolved it became apparent i only want sex and don't care about power, and nobody wants power over anyone else, and no one's 'feelings' are ever real, and everyone in society is quite embarrassed about the way they are behaving, and it appeared that tons of people have slipped out of 'reality' into this ethereal place of self-bliss, and once having achieved this, it is easy to slip in and out at will....it also became apparent that i am talentless and never wanted to be talented at anything, just to do things and enjoy them, and it also was apparent that i never needed drugs to see any of this, that this is the pure animal state plus consciousness which is the corruptor and enhancer at the same time
laughing hysterically i exclaimed "the animals don't hoard possessions because they know all of this stuff is crap...they are laughing at us all the time!"

I've tripped 5 times now in the past 3 months. My master plan was to slowly build up my doses maybe to 7g and then if I could handle that then drop acid eventually.
Last night I ate 3.5g and it was the most revealing trip ever, so revealing and self-exploratory that I don't even want to do acid anymore.
I've realized that in relation to the earth, trees and nature are alive just as much as humans. I've noticed that a common aspect of a bad trip is that of anxiety of the future. I think this is because shrooms affects our time perception, and shrooms put us in a more primitive state of mind. Early humans, like tribes and such, did not anticipate the future. They lived their lives day by day. Animals do the same thing, and remember that we are still animals/mammals. Modern man gets anxiety disorders and depression simply because he can't handle trying to plan out the future. I notice that on shrooms I live minute by minute and I plan nothing out. I just let the trip take me.
I had a good friend of a few years and last night I noticed that he lives in self-denial and tries to hide reality from himself. It is a long story, he was drunk and wouldn't' admit it, he would keep trying to come up with various excuses, and he told many lies.
The 3.5g made me feel liberated from any social-rules. I felt like I was truly being myself and not acting. 3.5g made me realize how poorly I treat my mom. At the end of my trip I spent 25minutes cleaning up everything in my house. 3.5g made me realize how lazy I am in daily life. I've developed a deeper appreciation for the fact that I have a very nice home.
I've also decided not to smoke pot anymore. It is much worse for my mind, I often get adverse affects like paranoia. It is also harder on my lungs. I have too many burn-out friend's who are just plain retards now. I've also decided not to deal mushrooms anymore because I don't need the money and its not worth getting caught.
Sine your feelings get magnified/intensified I can deeply connect with various styles of music. Hard rock/heavy metal tends to make me feel exhausted though. All music is just expression of feelings. Except for pink floyd which often just emulates the psychedelic experience and Phish which makes you feel like you are spiritually connected to some greater being. I think that everybody should listen to all styles of music. I concluded that rap music conveys feelings and expressions through metaphors and words and it is just as good as classic rock music like led zeppelin or anything which is more instrumental. Isn't it just amazing how a set of different sound wave frequencies can adjust your feelings?
In my past 2 trips I've noticed how the laws of nature all intertwine with the laws of physics and how humans act. It is an extremely abstract concept and I will definitely write down my observations next time.
So for me I guess I could call it life-changing. Some of the things you learn when you trip are devastating too (ego-death).
Shrooms often cause you to ponder about just life in general. Last night I don't think there was one aspect of society/life that I didn't discuss with a few friends.
Being in a primitive state of mind, what better thing is there for man to do than to gain a better knowledge of him living in the world and about life in general? to master your surroundings and be aware of everything around you. I think everybody could use just one 3.5g mushroom trip. Shrooms also allow you to view the world and yourself completely unbiased.
SO ASK YOURSELF, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ACCOMPLISH WITH LSD OTHER THAN START QUESTIONING REALITY AND WHETHER OR NOT MATTER IS REAL AND DRIVE YOURSELF INSANE, FLASHBACKS? just don't do it please!

It will come in waves. Another couple days you will be right back where you were last week. Then have another revalation and want to quit, and repeat and repeat....
But As for the first part of getting to handle 7 grams to see if you are ready for acid: If you can handle 7 grams you can easily handle a ten-strip.

Well i was brought up in a Christian school and for the 1st 10 to 12 year of my life i had no or very little knowledge that other religions/philosophies existed. So sometime in my secondary school I began questioning my beliefs and what I held to be true, and after a lot of reading books on various religions from the library and a lot of pondering I kind of came to the conclusion that maybe when I die that?s it-nothing. And along with that I felt that we?re all just pieces meat without a soul.
But nearer to the end of college I fell in love so deeply and intensely that I was question a lot of my beliefs-again. I was feeling that ?you know what maybe do have a soul after all? and this was something I could really feel not just something I was taught to believe in, but something that came to me naturally. So I began to wonder about my spirituality and wondering if there?s such thing as life after physical death etc.
So when I had this 5-gram trip (which was about my 3rd/4th trip btw). I felt exactly the same as I did about life continuing and when I 1st fell in love.
Well that?s my interpretation of the situation at the least.
