Literally overwhelming realizations
    #5676072 - 05/26/06 06:21 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Do you ever have the feeling that you know too much? Sometimes (while sober) i'll be contemplating existance, reality, life etc, the type of stuff we discuss here and i'll feel as though i've had a sudden realisation, something clicks, like i've just figured out a piece of the puzzle (i'm sure most people here have had this feeling), but then my mind jumps to another realization which ties in with it, and another, and they all seem to hit me at once like a pile of bricks and it's so overwhelming it causes me anxiety and my mind races and gets louder and louder and faster and feels as though it's about to shut off...

I know thats a poor explanation of the experience i'm trying to convey but thats the only way i can think to describe it. (I think) i've learned so much through use of psychedelics and brought this knowledge into my daily life as a permanent fixture in my thinking, i've learned so many wonderful things that everyone should know, but sometimes it feels as though i've learned some things a human mind isn't meant to process. Perhaps i'm just having panic attacks... Perhaps i'm just being a pussy, and these bolts of anxiety are my ego's defence mechanism against being taken out of it's comfort zone, with the warm safety blanket of ignorance briefly removed.

Does anyone else ever feel like this? Or am i in fact losing my mind?

The higher you get in the 'pattern recognition complex', the thinner the air will be, because much viewer people experience and thought over them, so you are leaving 'common' ground.
Perhaps it's like learning to fly. Somewhen, inbetween one has to touch the common ground once in a while.

To be quit honest, it's moments like the ones you're describing that I live for.

I rarely get the all-ecompassing swirl of thoughts branching out like that, save for good trips, but I often get more singular thoughts and realisations that make me laugh a little when I get them. At times like these, I just add it to the brickwork of the way I percieve my world and go on with the day a little wiser.

The answers you sought lie just beyond the doorway. When your mind becomes overwhelming, let it go. Let it 'shut off.' This is where you will find and FEEL the true confirmations of your realizations.

I really seem to loose it when I reach out beyond, way past what I can really track comfortably, the mind likes to keep going...
Like when I try to wrap huge things with my unlimited elastic mental powers,
and often by then
it's way
way
too
late,
the elastics snap
or twang back in my face:
I need to get distracted from the obsession to be informed
- to be hugely connected or to be safe.
also when driving, all the moving cars and trucks on the road really stress me out.

Me, too.  But riding the bus makes me carsick.  :tongue:  Walking and biking are the best modes of transportation for me.  Perhaps moving at more "human" speeds is less overwhelming?

My mind loves to break speed limits, though.  :lol:

Woah, talking about this make me wonder something...  Do any of you look  into the world around them and wonder just how many people out there are experiencing this?? Or ask the bigger question, are we all learning about the same things? 

Amazing!  What would bewilder our senses and stir the imaginative spirit, without direct external stimulus? 
Could there be more dimension to our world, going beyond direct experience...
As though the passage of time had something to add to things.  One past event contributing to your analysis of a current one. 

When I read this post, I recalled a memory of a moment when I was having a similar thought, as I felt wave after wave of understanding and insight. 

I feel like I'm being taught something, and the teacher is using my own mind to help me understand, and at this stage I have come to appreciate what's happening.... 

Early on I felt as though I was being lead though the wilderness, and time and again I would arrive at a beautiful meadow with a spring of glistening water,  but even as I swallowed the first drink, I would be lead onward.  Moving from meadow to meadow, over hills and through the valleys. 

The pace has changed in my perception of things, and  I take in more now, I am no longer thirsty as before.  I feel as though everthing I have already seen is leading me on.


Veritas, those flowers are beautiful. :sun:

I have begone to crave the feeling that i think you are explaining, like all of a sudden you get this feeling that everything is distantly yet closely conected and that everything makes sense, but then the feeling goes away once you try to either explain it to someone else or yourslef.

MistaMiner,

omniscience happens bro
and yea, the truth of things is always disturbing
it takes a warrior
and not everyone is cut out to be that
