Word Origin & History
lucid 1591, "bright, shining," from L. lucidus "light, bright, clear," from lucere "to shine," from lux (gen. lucis) "light," from PIE base *leuk- "to shine, be bright" (see light (n.)). Sense of "easy to understand" first recorded 1786. Lucid interval "period of calm or temporary sanity" (1581) is from M.L. lucida intervalla (pl.), which was common in medieval Eng. legal documents (cf. non est compos mentis, sed gaudet lucidis intervallis).
There are many aspects of 'being' but one of the most enjoyable but least celebrated is lucidity but it should be more as thats what the media like to attack.
That crystal clear razor sharp clarity of thought on a freebase experience cant be beaten, that point where you are disembodied but are over the physical shock experiencing pure thought, like all the sounds in the universe have halted and all there is is those tiny vibrations in your vocal chords. The moment you get that realization sitting at a different perspective.
The media love to portray psychedelics as some sort of chemical madness where you lose your mind for hours on end. Ive been with a freind on acid who was affected by this propoganda and was feeling on edge wandering if he would start to lose the plot anytime soon, and what a surprise.. he didnt! I had to unravel this social conditioning with him.
The tide seems to be slowly turning and as Dr Mckenna said the upsurge in medical trials will prove these entheogens to be of value to society and get medical status and eventually downclassed.
