Heres something to learn.  When people have nothing intelligent to say, they get mad and resort to insults. 

So what is it exactly I'm posing as by disagreeing with you? 

Disagreeing with the mushrooms are god and can learn u stuff people by the way,  not the normal folks who get high for fun.  :gethigh:

i don't know if "learn" is the right word. Learning implies you find information that you didn't know before, but i feel like "the big picture" which was always there becomes clearer, and I can look at my life from an outside perspective.

I was reading a book on meditation, and it said the mind is like a clear blue sky, and distractions are like clouds passing through. Sometimes there will be a clear sky, sometimes a few wispy clouds, and sometimes there will be thick black thunderclouds. Sometimes clouds will stay, sometimes they will pass quickly, but all the time, the clear sky is behind the clouds, even if you can't see it

Whenever I would dose in university (i've done between 1/8 and 1/4 dry trips, 5 times: i try to wander around lvl 3), I would become very motivated and make it on the deans list during the following quarter, and other aspects of my life would improve too. I would think about my life during my trips, my priorities, and why they should be there. I would think about how lucky I was to be where I am, and my journey that had taken me there. It was like cleaning my mind of clutter. As time went on the clutter would return, i would get concerned with petty things, and i'd dose again.

I find my trips beneficial and get spiritual experiences from them, but i know other people who just take em to party. Likewise, sometimes its nice to smoke weed by yourself and meditate, and other times to get high with a bunch of people and shoot the shit. To each their own.

It saddens me to read some of the morons on this thread. No, mushrooms don't just implant you with external knowledge. I've never suddenly understood all the workings of organic chemistry without ever having read anything about it. Its mostly very personal, which is why its hard to tell others exactly what you've learned. Right now pretty much everyone, including myself, are trapped within their own subjective perspective. Your habits and preconceptions color your everyday mindset and life to an incredible degree; mushrooms briefly decondition these habits, allowing you to look at things from a perspective that isn't so colored by your ego. This is basic stuff, tripping 101 folks. So I could list stuff I've learned, but it may not sound like much because a lot of it is personal psychological and spiritual growth. If you can't take anything back from a mushroom trip, especially after hundreds of times, either your dose is too low, or frankly you're just not intelligent enough to understand and gain anything from the experience. You won't find people posting lists of magical esoteric knowledge, you'll find stuff like "I realized how much I had grown distant from my wife and how I can change that." I don't know you - all I see is text on a message board - but if you really can't understand how these things can be valuable, then you'll be one of the people who are born, get a job, fuck, spawn children to replace them then die without ever really giving much thought to their lives or their own mind. Depressing, yes, but not for them. They won't ever really think about it.

You are right, it doesn't take a special type of person to shove some fungus down their throat. But it does take some level of self reflection to gain anything from it (not that there is anything wrong with pure enjoyment and experience, that's the cosmic dance after all)

Well, when I started taking Shrooms (my first psychedelic experiences), my mind just exploded and gave birth to so many new ideas, perceptions towards life and a much more developped open-mindedness.

I mean, I have never read this many books, never listened to this much music, never been this much content about my relations with others, never been this confident towards the opposite-sex, and finally, never been this happy about life in general.

All of this was realised by my mind by the time I tripped on Shrooms 3 times. You absolutely don't need to trip 200 times to achieve that. 3 trips, all above 3,5g, and there you go.

Now stop bitching about people who enjoy having insightful trips, and GO TRY IT FOR YOURSELF.

well if there were a self, an ego, an 'I' perhaps. But it's egotistical to assume one person's experience is more valuable or of a greater quality than another's when none of it can be evaluated in any consistent measure at all, unless you judge by appearances. Because there exist no standards by which to judge one from the other as having greater or lesser importance to begin with, unless you judge by appearances. But it's obvious that the appearances are illusory if you inspect them carefully, and so this ego, self, 'I' is also an appearance or an illusion.

There is no use intellectually rationalizing the effects of mushrooms.

No personal 'knowledge' gained in the Psilocybe reality can be completely transmitted through words, so nobody will ever completely understand. I'm not saying that it is worthless to talk about the trip with others and try to relate to the other persons' verbal representation of their trip, but you are never going to 'know' what they other person discovered 100%.

And what's the use in knowing what another person has learned from their trips anyway? What good is it going to do for you? There is no use comparing. Your experience and their experiences will always be separate and unique.

There is no knowledge to justify your trips, just personal awareness.

Psychedelics are fun as hell but they also teach you a few things if you want them to.

While having fun, think about things that you want to know more about or help yourself with. Pretty easy peasy ^.~

Most people probably have realizations whilst beshroomed because they don't allow themselves time for introspection except when they ingest fungus

I agree. My intention was not to make light of peoples personal experiences.  I was just taken aback by peoples readiness to judge someone for taking shrooms for "fun".  Some people were pretty much saying "how dare u use our sacred shrooms for fun, they are magic life giving things" I was not judging ANYONE. i just feel that you shouldn't act better than the rest, when everyone wants the same thing, to trip .  I would not say i've ever learned things from tripping, but i have had insightful thoughts that never seem so insightful when the journey is done.
