First trip was doing 150 mics.
struck gold with the quality and ended up having a hyperspace experience where i left all physical and earthly feelign behind.

It was pure bliss for a moment free of fear or doubt. I just realized that every human being deep inside feels the same (except sociopaths and those kind of people) .

Everyone wants to be loved they way they are and not feel alone also return this feeling to be happy.

This is when I changed my lifestyle and stopped being a negative influance to anyone im interacting with.
Even if people dont like me or are insulting I cant be botherd and wish them a nice day

I realized that I was okay with being alone sometimes and I don't need people constantly around me to make me happy.

I made that realization listening to that end-guitar theme from spongebob, it felt fucking awesome

I was experiencing the life and death of another organism, by consuming it, that most wouldn't ordinarily think of as a particularly active life such as our selves. But through this realized that it is indeed a very rich and vibrant life that those organisms live even though they hardly, in our minds eye, ever move physically.

Back when I was trying to deny I was trans, I tripped, and ended up feeling more like a girl cross-dressing as a guy than a normal guy.

It was super bizarre, and hung with me for a while. I tripped again, and realized that if the people around me or the things I'm doing are making me miserable, I'm wasting my time with them, and should do something about it. I started hormones 3 months later.

I'll respond as if you're serious because what you're saying is really dumb. Red pill and blue pill are from the Matrix. One is accepting the lies to be cozy, the other is seeing things for what they truly are. One cannot exist without the other. There can't just be a blue pill.

What you're saying is there are no pills and there is just the illusion of being "woke". You can't say there is only one pill, because then there are no pills at all. You mean to say both pills are fake.

I really am better than most people in ways that I can explain, I dont mean that Im literally the best person in the world because im too smart to make an absolute claim like that

im better than most people because:
I know I can be wrong so I never pretend to fully understand anything
I can tell bullshit
even if im better than most people I know I pretend I have a low self-steem because its more advantageous
I accept my many flaws and even if I suffer them, I can be objectively positive

overall im a more objective person than the average and that makes me less stupid and better than most people
I would give my life for 2 lifes because its objectively the best thing to do, also I wouldnt because I dont give a shit everyone else but myself and how I feel (this is the same for everyone in the world whether you understand it or not)

1. I know what my spirit animal is now and it's pretty cool.

2. The stuff I imagine in my mind on psychs is so much more vivid and complex

Thus, there is some kind of bigger meaning that we are a part of, and that's pretty cool.

>starting hormones and not therapy

I'm not trying to derail the thread, and you probably don't want to hear this as it is too late, but you're not a girl. Taking hormones to augment your body and shit does not change who you actually are and cannot turn you into a real girl. You should get help and try to figure out WHY you feel like you're a girl. Hormone treatment is blue pill as fuck. You're keeping yourself happy for now, until the inevitable wake up of ageing hits you and you realize your body has been turned into a fucking mess and you kill yourself. It's unfortunate and hopefully not too late to stop.

No need to be paranoid, but some people can get extremely paranoid on it.

My friend once took my wallet to confirm I was who he always have known, and started thinking that I was a terrorist, stealing credit cards, killed my parents, etc..

Not trying to scare you at all, he is a VERY paranoid person in general. But he was also smoking weed, which not a lot of people can handle on psychedelics.

Never puked on a psychedelic, even on 10g shrooms or 1mg LSD.
>>
>>736584372
It's a treatment like a band aid. Have you ever seen a trans person in old age? No, they all eventually kill themselves from breaking down, or seeing what mess their bodies turn into because no matter how many hormones they take it can't "fix them and they stop being as effective. It turns into a mess of a human being.

These people need real treatment.

1) it had been a lingering thought since I was a kid, but I pushed it back because I was ostracized for not being enough of a boy. The trip kinda dredged it up.
2) There was almost a year between trips, so I had plenty of time to think it over.
3) I can reverse all of it right now if I want to.

>>736584467

Blue pill is that I don't have to transition. I tried to convince myself that for years even before tripping; I was sjw non-binary shit in high school. Red pill is that it really wasn't ever a choice.

Yeah weed could contribute to that I usually get paranoid when I'm stoned but usually over stupid social things like if my friends really like me or shit (never anything like you said) but I feel that's normal.

You're still stupid as fuck. I don't know how I could have been clearer. There never could have been only one pill. That makes the whole pill scenario invalid. And then "oh dude it's all matter and energy" makes no sense here.

>>736584801

Important thing is just that you just observe. Try thinking about it when you trip. Just observe.

It makes the trip really powerful, that you can just observe whatever happens. Let go.

I think that was my biggest realization, to let go and just observe whatever happens in your head. It's a fantastic tool for when things go south fast.

thats the worst part, its not even b8
im enlightened, I have a higher level of understanding
and let me tell you, everything is the same and you are as bored as before

the advantages are;
you dont get angry like ever
you cant suffer from extreme emotions like sadness
you know you are better than everyone else even if you dont feel like it

but also those are the disadvantages, whenever I feel sad/angry/proud I feel alive and I never feel any of those things unless something connected to my past, like my pets, dies
the more time passes, the less strong emotions I have

I can rationalize anything that is rational, I can tell bullshit from truth and not always because there is no absolutes

I always hold a very miniscule amount of information that makes me better than everyone else and it doesnt change a thing because im human and we suck

While on DMT I had the realization that all matter in the universe is conscious only in difference degrees and humans are the manifestation of that consciousness at the highest degree. About a month later I picked up a copy of Schopenhauer's 'The World as Will and Representation' and after reading it I realized that what I was experiencing was the Will first-hand.

It's hard to define how my trips are now.

I always smoke weed on my trips, it amplifies it in a way that's out of this world.

My most intense trip was on 180ug, with weed.

The 1mg was actually one of my most calm trips I've had, I was just thinking about how everything are nowadays. How we as humans have "evolved" into what we are now, topics such as how we get food, how we have "destroyed" our "nature". Like we go to a supermarket to buy food, while we hunted to live, how we worked for life instead of working for numbers.

Off-topic:

My 180ug trip haven't "beaten" any other of my trips.

This was my first trip on LSD ever.

But there are two pills. I don't understand what you're trying to say.

1) Both the blue pill and red pill lead to the same outcome (completely unbelievable in the movie sense because the whole pill situation would be pointless)

2) You would always choose the red pill, thus making the blue pill option pointless

3) There is no red pill and only the blue pill as in there are no greater things that what is observed (completely impossible in the movie since the opposite is what happened)

yes

in an objective way im worse than a lot of people in many ways

>you're just choosing to obsess over what you consider your only defining attributes
yes because I can, as long as I dont feel like Im wrong
if I do then I will find a way to feel good and like im right, because otherwise why live

i was at day 3 of a festival and lost all of my friends around midnight; i'd been popping shit since 6pm. over the course of the night i ate 1-2g of what i thought was molly but probably wasn't because i wasn't smart enough to test my shit when i was younger. ate 2-3 tabs of goooood acid on top of this, and i had a mixed bag of weed and hash that i had ground up before i went into the venue.

loaded up a particularly big bowl of the weed/hash around 1am and started smoking it with a few people around me. soon after smoking it the ground disappeared and i started hearing sounds from everywhere. i couldn't see shit and could barely control my own body but i stumbled my way back to camp, ~1-2 miles from the stage that i was at. a few people asked me if i needed help but i couldn't do more than mumble unintelligible shit as i walked past. i wasn't sure what was real and what was in my own head, but i'm sure i was experiencing a great deal of psychosis because people were talking shit about me and saying deeply personal shit that only i would know the whole way back/while i was in my tent until it wore off.

this was the worst trip i ever had, and the main reason i only do uppers once a year at that same festival. i drink as well, but never smoke/trip while i'm tweaking and everything works out just fine. i've given up stronger psychedelics completely, but i still smoke a little weed at the end of a night every few months.

If someone's body can be permanently changed by hormones even in old age (70's and up) then I guess you're right. But still it's like an anorexic, you have a delusional belief. Anorexics see their body as something it's not and trans see their "soul" or identity as something it's not. If you want to stick with hormones and that really is something that can work throughout your life, then that's good for you. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that trying to find out why you think this thing and how to "fix" it is important. I don't know.

Reason is in permanent sharing and most people live as if they possess a particular reflexion. Unless you have a memory of this impersonal reason, when you speak from your personal thoughts you lie. Being enlightened is part of spirituality which is an umpteenth time a syncretic tinkering where people who tries to seek this branch of unrevealed religion think they are more clever because they had visions, they live a reality different from others. Which is in the end nothing less than narcissism. Get your shit together, open a book of Marx or Hegel

OP here, forgot to state my own

I realized how little we matter, how we don't have any point of being here. Seeing it as the bigger picture.

It calms me a lot thinking about it somehow, that we just exist, we're just beingness, and what we know is in the end just an idea we've got of whatever.

Yea but in reality people can delude themselves into thinking something that's not true to remain comfy. Like people in abusive relationships who convince themselves it's "their fault". That is blue pill, red pill is realizing the abuser is just fucked up and yourself is being emotionally manipulated.

Through this one example, you can see how both blue pull and red pill exist in real life. Therefore it is possible for red pill / blue pill to exist for other scenarios. Do you agree with this or no?

That has nothing to do with you pretending that you came up with an idea Shakespeare and probably other philosophers before him came up with.

You say "look up this fancy sounding hypothesis" to try and reassure yourself that you're smarter than us and know what you're talking about. But you're not dude and it's ok to admit that. Sapir-wharf hypothesis was in my freshman year first semester of college in a comm-1000 class that I had to take as an elective. It's not as profound as you think it is and is irrelevant to you pretending you came up with grand ideas. You have to resort to referring to that, once again not even your idea. You just know about it like every communications major in the country. I'm starting to doubt if you've ever actually tripped with an ego that big.

Was tripping on shrooms with a childhood friend of mine.

Listening to some trance music & talking all philosophical, y'know?

I asked him this question,

what is happiness?
>Is happiness waking up grateful for another day of opportunity?
>Or is happiness going to bed happy with the choices you've made?

I'll accept whatever I observe. What I observed about the universe is that it os a huge fucking place, and although we are small the very fact that we are here experiencing it signifies our importance.

I feel like many people who contemplate the universe do so without seeing the big picture. All they see is the infinite nothing without realizing that they themselves are the something.

what you are taking is a very rational and scientific perspective. This is okay, but only if you feed real data into your mind.

That sentence is more used than Google, and it isn't really true.

Nothing as 'universe-realizing' as this shit, but I was lucky to have a profoundly connecting/romantic trip a while ago.

Tl;dr is that there's a close-knit group of friends who live together and there was some really shitty drama going on (involving myself) at the time. I had an anxiety attack so bad the day before that I passed out in my own vomit while totally sober. So the trip could've gone either way; Parachuted 4 caps of good MD, three drops of GOOD acid and smashed a couple cones within the span of an hour.
First proper acid trip with visuals, too, so it was pretty great.

I had been fucking the one friend for a few months, confessed feels to them, gotten rejected, then had them turn around and say "I'm sorry, I fucked up. I just have some hangups. Let's give it a go." the day before the party, which was a part of this drama with the entire group.

Spent the whole night avoiding one friend who had a crush on me and kept getting right up into my face/real fucking touchy, and having this insane, deep telepathic communication with the FWB.
Night culminated in me cuddling for twelve hours.

Everybody else now hates me for breaking the other friend's heart and I'm not allowed back at the house; But on the upside, I'm dating the FWB now and it's like the lovey-dovey aspect of the trip never wore off.

>Therefore you are not so much more special

when did you hear me disagree with this?

whats the point of me saying things right now? there is none, I just do it because I want to
I want to say that I only said things I believe to be true (subjectively, by me). maybe I didnt but im saying that I did and its your choice to believe me or not

I dont matter, I thought of interesting things, I think those two things are true
I will never claim they are because I cant and no one can
I say things because im an animal and I dont understand why I do anything, Ive been programmed to do what I want so I do what I want (not literally anything. everything is a balance, you want not to be in jail more than you want to rape for example) even if im not sure why

People have similar thoughts. Yes. So don't pretend like you can claim ownership of thoughts.

Being your true self.

Being mean or whatever you mentioned before, is just an idea you've gotten of what you think you are.

Simply just being, letting go of everything, will leave behind whoever/whatever you are

genius isn't always inspiration, but rather highly developed error-catching and meta-analysis

There's different ideas of what being a genius is. Who's the one to define?

Personally, being a genius is hard to define, since I can't make it give any sense.

I'm mean in that I always look at things critically. Everything and everyone. I can't be happy. I don't know how to fix that or if it even can be fixed.

if you actually get off you ass and read cover to cover biographies of "geniuses" they are ALWAYS more interested in the accomplishments of their predecessors and contemporaries than their own work, and pay due respect to the giants of their field, upon whose work they build

possibly the smartest man in history:
Isaac Newton in 1676: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
>>
>>736588844

It's an idea you've got of yourself by everything you're surrounded by.

"I can't be happy", you feed the thought. It takes time to realize, a lot of it. I just realized it a week ago, how much you actually feed a thought. You don't let yourself be happy when you're sad.

If I was sad, I kept thinking "Why am I sad, how do I stop it, I'm sad" - Let it go, let it be completely. Just let it flow in your mind, along with everything else that presents in your consciousness.

Be true to yourself, be honest. If you're absolutely 100000% honest to yourself, what prevents you from being happy?

You need something to be sad, not happy.

Look up "Mooji" on Youtube, you won't regret it.

The first time I ever had a realization of myself on acid was after 325 ug. A shit ton of bong rips later and I realized how codependent I was (girlfriend wasn't there) and how unhealthy it was to be so codependent. I've since been able to work on it. It can be a great drug for just a great time but if you look into yourself a bit on it it can really help you out.

And as for the dumb fun example of acid, last time I tripped was camping with my best friends and it kinda just made me feel so loved and love them all, not that I didn't already love them but it was just nice. That and tripping on acid is my favorite way to listen to music.

I've only shroomed once but that was years ago when I was young and I didn't really get much out of it other than dumb fun but I would love to do it again and use it as a tool to better myself. Interested in DMT too but also pretty fucking scared lol. I'm able to let go pretty easily with acid because it's very familiar now but DMT just seems like so much. What do you guys think of it?

>>736589034
It kind of does. It would destroy my family tho so I can't bring myself to do that. Even though we'll all be gone soon enough, I don't want to ruin what they have left. Maybe that's why things have meaning even if they will eventually cease to exist. It's to enjoy it while it lasts.

I think I'm understanding your thoughts and I'm glad I do.
>>
I have not read the thread cause fuck that. but im tripping on acid right now actually. kinda coming down but cant sleep.

I always take acid when im going through changes in my life (usually break ups) and it really makes me feel better.

something about stepping out of "real life" for a night and just having fun with some friends makes me really get past the negative feelings break ups bring.

geniuses werent really relevant to the conversation until you brought them up, I never claimed I was one

Not trying to bring you down here.

Try not to make it escapism, and try to get to the point where you can do that sober.

I agree, acid is indeed a great "escape"/tool to do such things. But reaching it sober is a great "power" to possess.

There's a lot of reasons I'm not happy: anxiety about the future, regret about the past, dissatisfaction with the present. The best thing to do would be to try and make peace with all of this, but it seems too big of a task for me right now. I appreciate the responses though and will keep Mooji in mind.

On 2 grams of mushrooms I realized that we are just animals. I knew this before taking them but just never really gave it any thought.

I was staring at myself in the mirror with my mouth open a bit. It reminded me of a stupid dog or deer. I just looked at my dead dyes and realized I don't have a soul.

I had slight BO for some reason and it made me think about how I'm a male in his prime age and that on the plains I'd probably just fucking reek and woman would judge my fertility or some BS by it.

>the outrageous exploits of one of this century's greatest scientific minds and a legendary American original.Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female toreador. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah.

That's my reality is very much my reality outside my mind who knows what the fucks going on but it seems the universe has a long ever existing plan that is going off without a hitch. No one can evade it or deny it, the universe is playing with you, me and everyone and thing other than us to bring this whole this to some end. What it is we will never know in our life time.
>>
>>736588234
Not the person you asked, but think on it this way. I see your side clearly - it is valid.

If I was say...the owner of the milky way )just walk with me for a second). What would I consider valuable? Gold is very abundant....any element or thing might as well eb abundant.

Now life, in and of itself may or may not be abundant

Intelligent life may be more rare by tenfold...but even then...dolphins, elephants, octopus....they cannot use tools, they lack a fully evolved society that allows ideas to travel. It is different than humanity. It may limit their consciousness somewhat (I do not personally know enough to know)

Now - as much as I love cats and dogs...do they have freewill? Or are they just bags of conditioning? Are most people just bags of their conditioning? Does everyone have a soul?

And if we say that no, not everyoen does...but in just the right conditions...concious minds of a certain intelligence can "pop" and develop free will and a soul just as life can pop in from complex chains of carbon.

While it is equally plausible that the universe is meaningless...it is equally plausible that if the above is true....human life would be considered very valuable. and be considerd perhaps a rare thing worth preserving....or monitoring closely.

please forgive my typos, spelling, and general ranting nature.
