when you say, this world was made entirely for me.

and when i say it, it stands forth, as the same.
I am an reflection of you, and you are a reflection of me.

alone you are, together whit me, we all are individually, I.

you are the one and only of existence, you are a world of me.

this was created and is just me.
this is all mine, as One Indeed.

:confused:

I think meditation is a much better and safer practice for you than using mushrooms. Psychosis is not a desirable mental state.

The proof is in the pudding.

now seriously..

I think you should see it as a fantasy but be carefull because
it's a fantasy with "safety protocols off"

But essentially it is a fantasy, your fantasy. I believe in objective stimuli but what you make of them in your mind is your own fantasy.

When it came to politics, this felt even dumber. Nobody would elect a monkey like Bush in a real world. It had to be fairytale. And Arnold, wtf!? It must be a bad joke. It is all in my mind.


As a Californian, I'd like to say that you'd have to understand what Gray Davis was like to understand why Arnold was the better choice.

There is no spiritual benefit to be gained by being psychotic. You will forget everything that happened once you came back to your senses. Instead, aim for clear states of mind, these meditations can have far more substance than any drug induced psychosis.
I think more importantly, it is best not to worry about reality, real worlds, and exsistence. These are all meaningless questions, they are rhetorical questions that will cause to think yourself to insanity. Just slow down and stop thinking too much, this will get you no where.
Relax for a few weeks. There is no big rush to get to enlightenment. Afterall you can always pickup where you left off in the next life.
The human mind can only take so much before it begins to crack. Take care of yours so we can continue these conversations in the future.

Be careful, tripping can serverly affect your version of reality :smile:

But being in state of unknowing and losing your awarness in a state of psycosis is certainly not beneficial. This kind of dissaccitaion is not healthy and can most certainly lead to a server case of psycosis requiring medication.

This state is too extreme, and can never provide the right circumstance neccasery for realization or spiritual experiences to occur. Leets say enlightenment is a seed, that requires soil, water, and all the right conditions for it to grow and bear fruit

What mental obliteration is like is washing away the soil! How can this help the plant to grow? What is ment by the disoloution of concpets is that one is being aware of all thoughts, concepts and mental events, then turning that concentration inwards one completely disolves them into the pure awareness. Its not as if one has blacked out, its just that one is living in the awareness prior to the thoughts!

Maybe im being a little philisophical here? But truley observing what you have wrote this does seem like to be the start of some mental illness. I know ive been in that state where you read to much into things, and are constanlty wondering about whether your reality is real or not. I fear that you may be riding on the razors edge my friend, and should probably seek some help before this gets worse.

Im sorry if i seem to be judging you in any way, this isnt my intention. I used to be in the same state as you and know how that is. In the end, a conventional view of reality is better than losing control of your mind completely. Try to percieve the convention view of reality as the soil which is needed to nutrue the seed of complete sanity (enlightenment).

By the way,
This is not something I would normally share but I went psychotic for a couple of months, and I figured out the meaning of life and had answers to all the questions that you are asking. After I was calmed down through therapy, hospitalizaitions, and medications, I cannot remember a single thing that I said or thought during that timeframe. All I can remember is that going crazy in front of your loved ones is the worst thing that can happen to you. Nothing beats that look of fear on their eyes everytime you open up your mouth. I still get it and its been over a year. Oh well....take it from me brother, it is much better to relax and try to figure things out...one problem at a time. Don't shoot for the moon just yet.

I had a psycotic break for a month, and yes it is the worst thing when your family are serioulsy worried about you, but feel that they can only stand by and watch as you progress further into psycosis.

I promised myself that i will never go through that or put my parents throguh that again!

Since then my brother and my mother have both developed serious mental illness. My mother is an alocoholic who suffers from manic depression and my brother sufferes from schizophrenia.

Sinbad,
Sigh.....I am very sorry to hear that you have went through similiar experiences like my own. I have been battling post traumatic stress disorder for a few years now and if it weren't for my pyschotic episode, I would have never found treament for my illness. I happy to say now that I am doing great with my medication, and therapy regime, but man....I have come along way.
I still hate looking in the eyes of my family members and wondering if they see a crazy person looking back at them. It really sucks to think that and I hope the thread starter doesn't have to go through what you and I have gone through.
There are more important things in life than trying to figure out the meaning of life, as it has been done for us already. Let those brave minds who wrote about it in the past teach us the knowledge they gained through physical and metal hardship. We don't have to go through the same trials that they undertook....we can just read their teachings and contemplate upon them.
I much rather live....than obsess about life's meaning.

Yeah man i feel you! Im much better now, and have halped myself a great deal with meditation and relaxation. Im much calmer than i used to be, but i still on occasion feel quite vulerable.

As the song goes 'We are all sensitive people, with so much to give!"

I have completely cut out cannabis and alcohol, as im sure these were contributing factors. My life has much improved thanks to the help and support of close friends and neighbours, who's infine compassion and generosity i can never truley repay.

It sounds silly but i feel quite overwhelmed with love when i think of the sacrifices so many people have made for me. But i also feel slightly sad at the same time, that i had to put them trhough that in the first place. I think vulnerability is ok, and an essential part of a human beings nature. To allow oneslf to open up to others and see that we are really not much different from each other is a blessing that i can ill afford.

Mental illness is seen as such a Taboo in todays society. Thank god for open minded forums like these where people can come for help and advice!

Without such places of refuge im sure many more people would slip through the net!

There is nothing wrong with wanting to cry about what happened.  Sometimes that is the only way that I can deal with it, and it feels good to just let it all out in the form of tears.  It was a confusing situation, that I will never make sense of but I am doing my best to keep moving forward.
Five shrooms for you....
If you ever need to talk PM me. :mushroom2:

I no longer express my emotions physically, rather i feel them completely and relax instead of bottling them up like i used to do.

I have been given methods for working with my emotions healthily, but thank you for your concern. Any time you feel like it you can PM me also, im sure there will be plenty of times when i will need your support too.

five shrooms for you also my friend!

I will do that...but how are you doing these days?
I have been doing great myself....but you never know....sometimes things can just go from great to bad in a blink of an eye. We'll see what tommorow brings...
Thanks for the shrooms and your offer. Take care

having a breakdown is a good opportunity
getting mired in confusion is not the same.

after a breakdown some things will be clearer. it is a maligned condition, and the term psychotic is over used and abused and not co-incident with the breakdown process.

Should one view all as fantasy, all as real or should one look for an objective reality?



Seek the objective reality. As others have noted, a good place to look is in the writings of the great philosophers of the past. Many of the problems which are troubling you have been extensively addressed.

The ability to judge whether or not a thought popping up was probable or too far out was totally shut down. It is coming back, but do I want it? Should I aim for a sort of controlled psychosis and stop believing in all thoughts. Is this what people talk about when they recommend to 'know nothing' or is it too extreme?


I'd say find yourself a patron who will support you economically, and then get him to deliver food to you at your place up in the woods which you'll get, and only then should you go insane and believe nothing
