Thoughts on acid.

[tombakkelund]

Acid is not the kind of drug that makes you "run away". It does not blaze your head into some inner sealed room in your head. It makes you connect with the world. Seeing it as it truly is.

 

I would describe an acid trip as being on the top of the highest mountain; looking down. Gazing down at all the characters, collours, faces, moods, sounds, everything.

Not in a trippy kind of way; where you're standing on a mountain top, far up in the sky. But, it gives you a different outlook on life. You suddenly get unfiltered information flowing through your senses. All the things you already have a sollid opinion about - you are now looking at them from a fresh point of view. And your senses are peeking at it's most.

Letting it all in.

 

It takes a while, to really understand what really happens to your head when you take theese kinds of psycedelic drugs. The 8-12 hour trip is really just the starting point of it all. When you're in this "place", tripping, you start to see, feel, and understand allot of things. Particulary about yourself. It's like stripping your mind naked to yourself. You suddenly see very very clear; all the things you really love, and all the things you really hate. Embracing them, as a part of you.

 

But after this psycedelic journey - you enter a state of mind, where everything seems a little clearer, and a little more tolerable. You still got all your old memories, thoughts, and feelings. But there is something more too. Something earthly, very hard to describe. You just have to feel it, in a way. The first few weeks can be a quite of a hustle. Allot of new things to adapt to. Not on the verge of psykosis, though I understand how people can get there. But, this is why you have to be carefull with your dosage, and when/or how often you take it.

 

I do not believe man has to take this drug in order to be superior in any kind of way, nor does it make you into some shamanistic figure, the more you understand it. All it does is that it strips you down to your beare bone, and reminds you that you're really human. And though there are millions of them out there, just like you - you now understand that each and every one of them is very different, based on allot of factors. Everything you do; makes you who you are. But don't get fooled by that thought.

 

Cause' then again; who YOU are; defines what you will do with your life.

No thought can come from nothing. "Nothing" is a made up term. Never forget that.
