A challenge

[Philosopher]

As best you can, define tripping:

The intense realization that all things impossible are very possible.
Everything you fundamentally know, from learning or instinct, is wrong.
The change in every senses perception so greatly that our conciousness shifts.

Any more ways to define it?

Oracle quote:

"I'll going to let you in on a little secret. Being high is like being love. No one can tell you you're in love, you just know it. Through and through. Balls to bones."

 

[scudge]

The trip begins when you are born and never ends.

 

[Korey]

Set and setting plays such a huge role in the experience, and every time set and setting is going to be different. The experience is more complex than "all things are possible." It truly is impossible and redundant trying to explain, because there's no ultimate experience with these class of chemicals, everyone's take on them is different.

IMO.

Tripping is Supernatural, a place for realisations, a place to hopefully let your guard down and FEEL Not so Strange!

**Hey Scudge i love your avatar aye man but it is also a bit menacing if thats the word, and seems familiar?

 

[scudge]

thank you, I dont quite understand how its menacing, I see care bears riding rainbows just as menacing, you could say. I hate to say but I find the whole definitions behind good and evil non-existent, it all almost starts to blend together indistinguishable from each other, and the whole idea behind duality. As long as you have empathy and a strong sense of ethics and moral code.

There definitely are "light" elements and "dark" elements, both in altered states and in everyday life. Labeling them as "good" and "evil" is, I agree, a distortion. But you cannot deny that there is a light to dark spectrum to reality. All of it is necessary of course, and in a very nonjudgmental way you could think of it as the light and dark paints in the great artistic composition that is reality.

Scudge- all of your avatars have been slightly menacing. But I've liked them all, and of course noticed them readily. Art with an edge grabs the viewer, shakes them up in a good way.

As far as responding to the OP: I would say that tripping is an opportunity to meet your higher, larger, more complete self.

 

[NorthernGeno]

Tripping to me is like an escape from reality and a portal to a whole new world and reality. The setting does play a major role for sure! Your trip feeds off your surroundings before your body processes it.

 

[Philosopher]

Isn't it weird how your pupils dilate so much? As if you are actually "seeing" for the first time.

 

[Leon Trout]

according to Webster's

define: a: to determine or identify the essential qualities or meaning of

the minute i have the realm of psychedelics so wrapped up that i can give them an essential meaning, i think they will lose interest to me... my interest in psychedelics partially stems from a desire to remove myself, at least temporarily, from an existence where definitions are even necessary...

 

[jdk]

perhaps an exceedingly overused quote, but damn, it sure rings true for me:

"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite." - william blake

that's how i've felt in my best trips - infinite.

cheers!

I agree with everyone
