Hi all,

I've been ghosting here for quite a while and thought it would be nice and polite to introduce myself. I usually avoid forums as they often seem to be focused mainly on argument techniques, but this is a really great website and community which I would love to be involved in. I'm really into art and I'm keen to contribute to the art section, some expressions of my experiences.

I've done my fair share of psychedelics in the past but left all that stuff behind a long time ago. I'm not overly keen on being locked into a long trip having had my share of bad ones. I used to be able to break through so easily though when I did use them. I was usually the only one in the group actually having an experience. I could also comeup of and get mild hallucinations from just one small mushroom.

One of the last times I used shrooms I went very far and can remember explaining that, rather than the hallucinations coming into my reality I was regulalry entering a different reality without fully knowing and the realisation would pull me out. However I guess I either couldnt bring any memories back from there or lost them by the next day, along with most of the experience.

Interestingly though I have never been able to break through with salvia. Someone here said the trick is to feel safe whilst smoking it which I never really do with salvia, equally and for the same reason I can never man up and take a second hit.

I was drawn here because Ive recently been seeking answers. I dont follow any faith, I believe in something but I dont know what it is and I guess I'm seeking to find out.
 
I hope you learn a lot and grow a lot. I've learned so much from the wise people of this forum. It's nice to have more people for more input. Ask many questions and share.

Hey and welcome! It is certainly good to have you here, more people really into art is something we do indeed need. Stay around in the nursery for a while, answer to topics and post new ones, and you should be promoted to the full forum in no time. I hope you will have a great stay with us! :)

With love,

Welcome buk,

It is great that you decided to login and participate, I hope we can learn from each other.

The first step in understanding, is realising that there is something that you do not know. The second step is taking the effort to find out the answers. Many people have a vague idea or a vague understanding of what they believe, what they know, but more importantly, what they do not know. Not really knowing with any certainty, whether or not what they believe, is true or false.

We humans, tend to make assumptions, presumptions and speculations about the nature of reality, conceptualising in our minds things that may appear to be more or less true. A lot of the time though, this is where we are content to remain, and most of us do remain, in a sort of semi-conscious, semi-lucid, semi-real, mind formulated perception of reality.

Some, like yourself, are prompted, for whatever reason, to notice that there is "something" that is begging a desire to be known, to ask deeper questions and then to search for an adequate answer that is no longer exhibiting contradiction.

I hope you find what you are looking for. My only advice is this, before you can gain an adequate answer, you first must ask an adequate question. Also, an answer is complete, when it no longer contains any contradiction.
