wake up

I have been having a lot of fun reviewing others experiences here. It has been surprising to find others with similar beliefs and questions.

I am not sure why I have come here other than to further understand my young teenage life and maybe to shed some light on my already overanalyzed experiences, also to be myself.

In my search here I have noticed that some, after experiencing hallucinogens such as ps mushrooms or LSD have lost their ability to enjoy other drugs and experiences. Some have noticed symptoms of extreme paranoia, dissatisfaction with self, and a total breaking down of their ego. They have been left to feel separated from the crowd, foreign to the things society builds up to be delicious such as drugs, and immorality. While some continue to partake of the base, numbing themselves to their new found consciousness by drinking the sour vinegar and poison of the world, Others forbear and wander in their new search of truth.

This is no stranger to me and my thoughts on the subject are clear.

On such a journey one undergoes a process. A process of learning, of transforming their innocence and youth into knowledge and accountability weather they like it or not that will happen. This process turns some into raging monsters while turning others in meek and caring individuals who strive for the peace and well-being of mankind. It could be said simply It brings out our true colors. Knowledge after all is power!

Any process that breaks down, dormantizes or enables our physical organs and functions, on the other hand usually sets at liberty the spiritual realm and organs and functions. After all if our spirits are eternal and can never die or be diminished that would make sense.

Such a journey can only mature the individual. With sleep this is true (our dreams can be enlightening), with fasting this is true, look at Gandhi. As the physical is subdued, or in a drug sense disabled, the spiritual is at liberty and the person is left to view themselves and the world around them as they truly are. Time and the world break away and eternity and the universe open to view. Vague thoughts and memories of our previous spiritual existence once again are blended with our being. ACCOUNTABILITY!


Knowledge seems to be the two edged sword! The dividing factor, in the crowd of endless people. Most I believe, are unaware as to who they are, and why they are here. They go on in the flows, tugs, pulls, the trends of society, while the elite few gain the knowledge of the earth, and of eternity and walk in a quiet calm trance of confidence and happiness. One begins to feel like a stranger in a foreign land, a visitor.

I don't think it's quite this black and white. I have been involved in the neo shamanic path for many years. I find that the real benefit of the awareness gained is in the acceptance of the self with all the traits of dark and light. To see yourself as you actually are, rather than how you think you should be or want to imagine yourself. There is nothing alien to me. Very trippy indeed.

I see what you see, but I don't feel as if I am somehow elite. I am person and my brothers are people as well. I may be striving for some good I feel is necessary and they may strive for more impermanent things, but I only strive for that good because of a chance experience that changed my life, my course, toward conforming to that good which I see. In summation I feel fortunate, not elite, as I could be one who strives towards the menial.
