maturing

I cried (good tears) the first time I ate psychedelic mushrooms. I felt like I was moving forward with my life--it's a very maturing process I feel. Anyone else get this feeling with taking psychedelics? Anyone got a hypothesis why this is?

Many psychoactive substances make you perceive things in a different light.... Including emotions.... The meaning and strength that you tie to the experience and the thoughts associated with it are also part of the altered effects and perception of the experience....

It's something that happens to me too, some times. They're relief tears. It just feels like all the tension and pressure suddenly vanishes and crying in a form of liberation.

   All this time I've loved you And never known your face All this time I've missed you And searched this human race Here is true peace Here my heart knows calm Safe in your soul Bathed in your sighs

Why ask why? Keep eating dry.

Not really, Id say my run in with cocaine is what changed me the most.
Maturing, for me, took getting over a cocaine phase.

Maturation is, to me, a product of experience and integration. The first experience in a psychedelic state of mind is a very new and novel one. Having transformed your perception of reality so radically, you behold the world with new understandings which you have created for yourself through the help of an altered perspective. You have been given an opportunity to mature through experiencing and subsequently integrating something that you had never before known or held as truth. I find most humbling, the moment I can truly recognize my own failure and instead of looking to blame, discount or excuse, I accept and look towards how I might better approach the given situation in the future.
So in essence, I do not believe it is necessarily the psychedelic mushrooms that have matured you, but rather the addition of new experience and thought into your way of being. When you think, reason, evaluate, execute and introspect, the potential for greater maturity will manifest. Psychedelics can - especially in a novice seeker - allow one to witness with new perspective, sparking new thoughts and greater introspection. Of course, if you fail to integrate these new experiences into your everyday life, little maturity will likely be gained. As time passes, it is not an act of altered consciousness that will inherently mature me, but the thoughts and realizations I may experience while under the influence (or while sitting sober on my back porch) that infect me with an expanded set of knowledge for better dealing with future actions and reactions.

Are you married?

Ah marriage, that's a whole 'nother story! One which no doubt, could teach and mature (and perhaps even destroy) a fellow something fierce. Myself, having not yet taken that road this quarter-century into my existence, look forward to the possibility that I might someday weld such a symbolic commitment with another. Though presently sharing my life experience with a sincere mate, the time for my marraige is not this very moment.

You're taken:(
Well I guess I am too. For now. Veritas is grumbling lately.
Marriage is a relationship killer in my experience. For Veritas too. It doesn't have to be of course but usually it is.
Geo, why have you taken this so far off topic?
