Ok, I just want to write some random thoughts about how psychedelics, religious exposure, and PSYCHEDELIC COMMUNITIES have affected my life.
I haven't really planned how I'm going to say anything, I just feel like talking.

If you hate posts like these... just click the back button.  :wink:





RELIGION IS THE GREATEST BLASPHEMY.
This is not a conviction, or a fundamental belief. This is an opinion that crept into my mind while I was trying to think of a better way to form spiritual community than exclusion.


I was raised an anti-Christ. Not a chaos worshiper, or a devil worshiper. Just someone who had a mother fixated on the dismissal and criticism of Christianity. The perfect scapegoat for the world's bigotry, prejudice, and hate.

My childhood reaction was to believe in and speak for godlessness. I was fiendishly clever for my age, no lie I told went unbelieved. I manipulated, I stole, I hurt, I evaded punishment completely. I was bound to the moment so tightly, believing there was nothing more.

I had a serious girlfriend at age 13, the daughter of a minister. She lost her virginity, and her faith to me. I gained nothing. The world gained nothing.

Time went by, my mother left. I was left alone with my crippling depression (diagnosed at 10), my lack of hope, my lack of faith, my lack of understanding.

No longer a child, nor a person with a coercive voice over his shoulder, my views on the evils of Christianity softened. I still disbelieved in religion, I will never believe, but I accept religion as a legitimate part of others. A complicated part. Not something to be scorned without reason. Everyone has reasons.

Reasonability slowly became my reason. I disliked the closed mindedness of my own religious alignment. I disliked anything as unshifting, or as closed to questioning as the belief I had held.

I was no longer anti-Christ, but I was anti-fundamentalist to a greater extent than before.

I see just as much wrong in handing a child a bible as I do handing a child a hit of LSD.

I see just as much wrong with the war on drugs as I do crusades or the holocaust.

Religion is a spiritual tool. Time has proven it to be as powerful as any. But it is a tool put forth into this world by humanity, and it is subject to all the corruption and greed that comes with humanity.

Religion does not give any insurance of god. It only ensures the rules it creates. And any rule perpetrated by man, onto man, as the word of god- is blasphemy.

Any who use the name of god to kill, coerce, or further themselves beyond others, are blasphemous. The cross which killed Jesus is the same cross held high for the murder of millions more. Salvation comes not from teaching others the right symbol, but from letting others find it for themselves.

If Jesus was indeed put on this planet by god, it was not to spread Christianity. It was to spread tolerance, and acceptance, of all.

TEXT TRIPPING.
Humans have found many ways to alter their minds over the ages.
Chemicals, meditation, ceremony, prayer come to mind immediately.

But this isn't a universe of 'only ways' and so, probabilistically speaking, there must be infinitely more ways to alter your mind than have been, or ever will be, discovered.

When I read the accounts of others using psychedelics I sometimes feel high. Nothing specific. Just unfamiliar thought patterns, unusual intensity. Similar feelings to psychedelic onset. This has happened since before I tried a single psychedelic.

These planes of electrically connected 1's and 0's are the closest thing I have known to a temple (besides my own mind). The lines of reality and truth flow as cleanly from my keyboard to your eye as they flow from any word, book, or image. I can choose to have this mushroom --> :mushroom2: represent my connection god just as easily as you chose your cross.

I'll stop speaking so loudly now however, lest I attract a witch hunter.

THE NATURE OF REALITY.

"Damn reality keeps trying to come back"
That's something I said many times the once I had an 'ego death'

So what's real?

You're really reading this. Right now. But am I a figment of your imagination?

No? Prove it.

Science can be real, the electrons in my computer entertain me for hours.


Love can be real. Life can be real.


When I take LSA I can decide what is real. If I had enough I could decide what's real for the rest of my life. I don't always decide what's real though, I like it when LSA shows me.

Salvia is real. When I take Salvia I am spoken to by spiritual entities. They are real, because I let them be. They have helped me in return. More than I care to say right now, I've said it here before.

Maybe they're not real to you. For you, coincidence can be real in their place.

But if a spirit, invisible to you- but real to me, were to use my hands against you... would your self-righteousness be real in the eyes of my insanity... or would your respect be real, in the eyes of what could be?



What makes something real?
