well there are a few natural people who are very skilled with timing. it is a lot more about timing than oneness... or spirit. we mostly call it spiritual because we can't put our finger on timing. it is too elusive.
meditation is an opportunity to familiarize one's self with the inner terrains, and the tool that is excercised, seems to be awareness - but underlying awareness is timing. (setting up sympathetic rhythms for feedback).
i have become aware of the mind adjusting timing in several of ways while sifting through memory or sifting through the world around me.
all of the elaborate visualizations and things conjured up in synch with nature or apart are all based upon timing combined with mental comtents.
note- feedback is a given, I could have added it throughout this message: when you are interested in something you fix on it with feedback, it takes timing adjustments to obtain that feedback, then the associative nature of mind takes over and things related to the interest emerge.

Dude... those are similes, not metaphors
There were similes and metaphors. A metaphor is basically a simile without using "like."
Whats wrong with grammar wars? Call me a nerd (don't waste time posing it though, I already know), but they're fun. Plus, it kinda salvages a stupid thread anyway, in terms of entertainment value at least (for some).

There was a similar idea about guns once. I think the people interested in breaking the law with them and abusing them still managed to do just that.
I'm pretty sure that locks are only for honest people, crooks use crowbars.
Serial numbers are for hunting, filed down imports are for knocking over a 7/11.
Tylenol is for headaches.
And psychedelics are for people who are intelligent enough to get away with their use without betraying themselves to anyone.
Drugs can remain illegal, and the government can continue to waste money on fighting them. Either you can arrest us, or monitor us, or fine us, either way, we're going to cost a shit load of money, and no matter what, we will do what we want.
Meditate on that.

i can see how that could be a good idea, could be be good for getting more out of your experience or good if your in fear of a bad trip or something, but its definitely not essential or a must

This is the answer right here! Early hominids ate wild mushrooms every chance they could get! and bring them back for their groups! they didnt know what meditation was or is. They just tripped naturally and evolved under the influences of fungus! there was no "meditation" just enlightenment.

i agree, minus the part about the OP an ass. psychedelics are about respecting fellow humans just as much!

i get the overall theme here of don't abuse the psychs, but thats kind of ignorant. The best way to learn something is to actually DO it, but start small. I didn't even think about meditating until after a couple trips, and meditating is actually useful because they compliment eachother now.
People of all kinds and sorts and personalities use psychs of all kinds..comedians, actors, celebrities, even criminals and serial killers. Life isn't a movie,theres no gauranteed happy ending or a gift or reward. things come and go and its all pretty random. just be the best person YOU can be, and respect and love averyone to the best of your ability, and you'll have the best chance for success, life tends to flow that way.
