psychedelics are/do to life/reality what a prizm is/does to light

i was watching the science channel the other day, it was the cosmic odessy special.
They happened to mention prizms and how it breaks a beam of light down into all of the separate colors/spectrums.
well i had an idea of trying to relate/describe that lsd is basically like the prizm for life/reality where it takes one beam and breaks them down into the many true realities that exsist. lsd just makes it possible to view it that way.
any thoughts?

well i can say that i came to this conclusion on my own with out any outside influence... i would have known if i read it in any of learys work.
i just had that hypothesis after watching them teach how a prism works... and i was like EUREKA!

Never really heard it put that way with the prism. Most ideas like that I hear consciousness compared to water. Like a single drop is water but so is the whole ocean, it is just composed of many millions of tiny drops, all connected.

The cover of Dark side of the moon is a prism which refracts light, if you listen to tht whole album tripping and come back here and tell me you dont like it il be so shocked. lol. If you like techno try downloading some psy-trance such as: infected mushroom 1200 mics talamasca tell me what you think of them

Yes. I'm also 23 and I love Pink Floyd. Although having said that, my parents used to listen to Dark Side a lot when I was very young, so I guess nostalgia is playing a part in my case. But still, there's nothing like a medium-strength shroom trip, one of those where you chill with a friend or two in a dimly lit colourful warm room listening to Dark Side.

Its not really an aquired taste. Pink Floyd is just really good while tripping or not. If you have a real developed interest/passion for music, they blow techno/hip hop out of the water. Funk is great though. I just would rather not hear some guy rapping on a rhythm for more than a min. while tripping. It often just seems so trite and uninteresting to begin with.
Every one needs to go out and buy a Meters album if you ask me(strict funk), the best, the creators. GREAT tripping music, GREAT car music, GREAT for just about everything music is good for. 4 members in the band, and their funky ways can make you kick your socks off.
Pink Floyd is one of a kind no matter what time period your talking about. They are ULTRA-psychadelic.
