surreal experiences

[pianistimo]

i have experienced more interesting things in the last two weeks than i ever thought.  today, the most surreal.  after begging several times, my four-year-old daughter broke down and did several things she never would (had i not this cast on my leg) normally.  she took the 'sprinkles' (you know, for cake) and sprinkled them on the bed and proceeded to eat them one by one, curling her toes in absolute enjoyment.  of course, i am in no position to grab them and put them back up in the shelf (how did she reach them in the first place?)  so, i'm learning to not worry about minor infractions.  and, the normally 'outside only' umbrella and sunglasses are her modus operandi now.  she has become her own person.

very interesting, why is this surreal? My surreal experience was when I channeled the flavor to some spilled milk. It was sick.

I've been tripping shrooms lately and have had some surreal experiences - skies filled with peacock feathers and flames, people's faces melting, tunnels of light, the pulsating fabric of reality, etc. It's been pretty fun.

She misses you, the pianistimo without the broken leg; she is just acting out....

Keep eating that s**t  and there will be no late Scriabin for you; Scriabin himself described drugs as a "coarse" way of acheiving the exalted state nessacary for true enlightenment. You can't memorize Sonata #8 or technically handle Sonata #9 on shroomz dude...think about it....

Have you done them? Scriabin's 5th and the 2 piano version of the Poem of Ecstasy was pretty sick, as well as Chopin's 10-1. Oh yeah, and Scriabin was also INSANE, so I don't know how much I would trust his opinion on drugs.

Scriabin believed that he was the creator of his own universe, and the times I've tripped were the only times I ever felt or understood what he meant. That's not to say that one needs to use drugs to appreciate music, but drugs, and especially psychedelics, alter your state and the level of your consciousness - I enjoy listening to music in every state of being.

Again, I'll ask - have you tried them? If you haven't then there is no way you can possibly understand what they are like.

If you think about it, almost everything we consume besides food and water alters your natural state in some way - coffee, cigarrettes, alcohol, weed, tea, Tylenol, etc. Unless you use none of these, then I think you are being at least somewhat hypocritical.

The topic was surreal experiences and I shared mine. Judge me if you want - it's not like I'm never going to do them again because people who have never tried them tell me that they are bad. Every time I have tripped it has been an eye-opening, revelatory, mind-expanding, reality-transcending (exactly what Scriabin was trying to achieve in his music), and life-changing experience. Mushrooms really are MAGIC - while you are tripping you can stop time, become other people, read thoughts, and see and feel the true beauty of nature. OK, maybe I am a bit of a hippie, but so what? At least I love life and try things for myself rather than just accepting the limitations placed on me by society.

Has anyone else here tripped? You can PM me if you don't want the whole forum to know and judge you.

drugs alter a state..yes..but i feel it is way more pleasing knowing that you can alter your own state without the aid of physically inhibiting, and damaging, drugs...i am familiar with happiness..sadness..anger..etc..a wide range of emotions..and a wide range of senses and different forms of intuitions..i believe THIS is more self rewarding...chopiabin..this not necessarily an attack..but to me....this

I actually don't really understand your point. I'm pretty sure you can't synthesize psilocibin and psilocin just by thinking really hard if that's what you're suggesting. Do I trip just to feel more connected with music? No, I trip because I see nothing wrong with exploring parts of the brain that, for whatever reason, can not be normally accessed. Do I enjoy music while I trip? Yes, but that's not the reason I do it. I don't really understand why people see (most) drugs as bad when they've never tried them. I mean, yes, I think cocaine is a horrible drug because all it does is deaden your senses and make you want more of it - it's powdered addiction. But you can't really get addicted to shrooms because, not only can you not function normally, but also because your body builds a tolerance to them very quickly.

I research everything I do, and as far as I can tell, there are no negative affects on your health, so I don't really see where the problem is.

How lucky is this, I only drink water, am allergic to cigarette smoke, never did weed or any other drug, and use sleep to get rid of headaches. So i guess I am not being hypocritical. Wow so amazing. i think there are natural "trips." I can relax completely and begin to hear some of the greatest music ever, music that Beethoven would envy. And you know what it isn't screwing my brain. To me the number one reason for not doing drugs is this. If some emergency was to happen and someone needed your help, you can't just stop your trip or high. you are a waste of society and could be the cause of other people's death. I had this situation happen to me recently. my friend was missing. He was suppose to be at a guy's house, but for whatever reason he wasn't. I called the guy several times, but the guy was so wasted and high off his butt he couldn't give me a straight answer for crap. His story kept changing. Luckily my friend had left the place and walked to a friend's house to call me to pick him up. He got fed up with all the crap. But the point is those guys were no good, what if my friend had hurt himself and been lying in a ditch somewhere. These guys didn't know and couldn't tell me if they did.

At least you're not a hypocrite, and I really don't care whether or not you try anything. I just don't like it when people judge things before experiencing them themselves. And I don't really feel any obligation to society whatsoever - I believe in Nietzschian optimism and a type of Epicurean morality.

haha coincidence - rain season has just started here in Brazil, meaning: the cow pastures are gonna be filled with delightful shrooms anytime now (seeing as they will grow from manuer (sp) after rainy nights). So ever tried combining anything?

My favourite trip was when I was alone, had some and headed for the beach (twas roughly 3 am). The sky was clear, but when I got closer to the water the fog started to get pretty intense, to the point of me being able to taste salt off the thin air. Dark, humid, angry tide noises, a small light spot coming from the left, from what I imagine would be a lighthouse, but It started moving around, as if it was a ghost-lighthouse (at this point i was panicing a lot). Then I started focusing a lot more in myself, trying to reach deeper, and I had a lot of insights into my personality, function, span, etc. How my life on the edge of contradiction was as dangerous as a pendulum rocking over my head, unstable, pushing me towards the waves.
It was more of a internal trip really, no pink elephants.

I've eaten caps and ecstasy before, which is REALLY fun. Sometimes a shroom trip can be scary, but the roll helps you feel really connected to the people you're with (as long as you truly care abut them). I did it on Halloween with some really good caps, and it was amazing! I really want to try some other stuff - I've been on Erowid for the past few days.

[leahcim]

Have you tried playing the piano, drawing, writing your thoughts etc during the experience? [and listening back, looking at it afterwards?]

That's all the judgement I needed. YMMV.

[pabst]

erowid's a great place, that's where I learned about calea, wich is deffo my preferred legal herb out there
Yeah I did shroom once with more people, but honestly it wasnt a bunch that I cared much for, so whenever I can I do it myself - no need to put up with any roleplay, as always.
Halloween seems like a fun time over there heh.
