Tripping = Rapidly changing your perspective
    #7887418 -

These are my thoughts from my latest tripping experience. It's verbose and a little discordant and also repetitive, but I think it's full of good insight (for me at least, which is all one can ever say). Let me know what yous thinks cause this represents my highest level of thinking more or less.
------------------------

Most people naturally operate in a single perspective where the essence of things remains constant to them; they regard specific phenomena in the same way every time and attach the same emotions to them every time. When you trip though, your perspective changes rapidly. For example, if you're used to seeing a certain animal as being cute and cuddly, you might now see it as alternately fierce then shrewd then self-interested then simple-minded all in a span of seconds or even a split second.

Rapidly changing perspectives feels like a roller coaster ride. You can't stop and get your bearings until you are able to lock yourself into a consistent perspective. Psychological birth = the slowing down of perspective changes into a sturdy and consistent perspective. Psychological death = the speeding up of perspectives until you literally can't even return to your sturdy and consistent one: you have lost touch with it and forgotten how it works. You can prepare for psychological death by using psychedelics, which give you temporary psychological death experiences. You can prepare for physical death by practicing adjusting to extreme and unfavorable changes in your physical situation. Physical death = the speeding up of difficult changes in your physical situation. Physical birth = the slowing down of change in your physical situation, putting you into a very comfortable and stable one.

It's easier to see truth when perspective changes are happening rapidly. Truth is a deceptive thing though as it is infinitely complex and cannot be fully grasped at all times.

The come up is a quickening of the rate of perspective change. The come down is the slowing down of it.

There a so many different levels of understanding. The changing of perspective in uniform intervals creates the image of a staircase in your mind. Staircases, levels, that's why these experiences seem cartoonish.

This perspective change thing is infinite, meaning you will never quite reach the end because the end keeps moving away: the whole (also the entirety) cannot be grasped; you will always be short of it.

You can get to be very experienced and skilled within one specific and sturdy perspective, but the threat of changing perspectives would give you fear. If you change perspectives often and don't worry about becoming an expert, then you will avoid psychological fear.

The faster you can change perspectives, the more advanced--and thus God-like--you are. You can work your way up towards this simply with practice. It builds on itself infinitely--your total understanding that is.

When trying to explain reality, you can never quite get it right. You can't wrap your arms around it all at the same time (although you can come closer to this by changing perspectives rapidly) and you can't
explain certain aspects of it well enough. You always find that those aspects have other aspects and so on--that they are infinitely complex.

The only alternative to ignorance/narrow-mindedness is the state of rapid change in mindset, which makes you feel insane because you cannot "get your bearings".

Aldous Huxley looked at it as de-conditioning, or so I believe he did.
