Personal Growth.


I'm not sure that's what you're wanting to hear, but I'll give my shot at this. Psilocybin helped me forgive a lot of people who I'd been holding negative feelings against. Coming up on your trip, you have to learn the concept of "letting go", being willing to lose control and to suspend your normal ego processes for a short amount of time. I believe this same sort of "letting go" one experiences on the come up of a mushroom trip, must be practiced in other areas of life in order to live healthily and happily. My trip experiences forced me to accept the consequences of the psychedelic experience, and understand that I would lose control over my normal thought processes. The intensity of my experiences and my practice in "letting go" of my judgments and suspending them to delve into the psychedelic mind frame has allowed me to see how many insignificant things in my life I have yet to "let go" of. It has helped me in learning to forgive others who've hurt me in my past. I could go on, but that is just one aspect of how mushrooms have helped me become a better person. I think many people can use a psychedelic and just dismiss the effects saying, "oh it's just a drug". I think, it's what you do AFTER the trip that counts. If you go into it with a positive attitude and respect these substances as tools and are willing to learn then you can take something from it. Then it's all about applying your new perspectives in ways that better yourself.

Wow..like asking a drinkier why they started drinking, or what being drunk is like...

I started doing psychedelics to get high. It sounded like fun, it was there.

What i found was that I, as well as many others exist only as shadows and impressions of ourselves. We are what we make ourselves out to be. I was once a macho high school goon. Pshychedelics (it was acid really, but shrooms helped) made me see myself as 3 minds. One a macho jackoff, one the guy who needed to be a macho jackoff, and a third that knew everything was fine no matter what. I chose the third. I learned to enjoy the company of people, wehre before it almost offended me, I cared about others, I was sympathetic, I felt and understood, not just acted.

Things I came up with... There is no past or future. We all exist in a permanently changing Now. Unenlightened define themselves in the past or present, we all have. "Well, This is what happened to me" assuming some sort of past trials, and then defining ourselves, making a self out of those experiences, or "Someday I'm gonna..." Once I finish school, once I get married, once the kids are grown. Whatever. Now....what are you doing now, and is it what you like? If not....do something else! Walk away from school, job, or anything else. You'll survive, I promise you. I've lost my train of thought an will humbly end post and hope I helped.. =)

i always liked them because it was a system reboot if you will... like i had gone on a long journey and discovered myself along the way




this guy took the words out of my mouth. i do it because i have a good time doing it but i do it again because of what the after effects are. after i eat these glorious mushrooms i feel rejuvenated. like a snake that just shed its old torn up skin.
