ok this is the 3rd time i have tried to write a responce to this but im not sure what i have is relevant or makes sense, so i will leave it:wink:
This is what really interests me and i have been wrestling with this idea alot this year. I love tripping, really really really love it. I like how LSD makes everything movey, bendy, swirly, floaty and the way it makes me feel as i observe it. I dont seem to be able to take to much, irrelevant of the dose i just sit there and giggle to myself, "he, he, he, acids funny, ooooooh look at that, wait no look at that, ooooooh thats cool".
When i encountered DMT for the first time i did it because it promised to be the trippiest of the trippy. I had done very little research into it and even doubted it would do what it said on the tin because hell, im good at tripping.
Obviously i was very wrong.
It turns out i cant use the trippiest of the trippy for tripping.
This is the bit that relates to your religion point.
After my first DMT session i felt i understood what all those religious folk, who i had previously mocked, were after. I now felt sad for them because they could find what they were looking for, but they didnt know where to look.
They were following false leaders and were worshiping at a 2nd hand level. If only they could find the way they could simply take 10 minutes out of there day and have direct contact with what i now believed was the inspiration/origin of there religion/all religions.
I had been to that place, and i had basked in what i can only languageify as the divine presence.
I have semi developed my ideas about what "god"(i hate the word but its all i have that remotely portrays what i mean) is about and i feel that DMT can provide me with a direct link to these concepts/places. Because of this i feel that if i sit around and just use DMT to trip then i am doing it a diservice or at the extreme end of my thinking i almost feel im being sacrilegious.
Im not trying to preach to anyone and say the only way to do this or that is by doing it my way, i just feel that i need to take my use in a certain direction or i will be missing out on the big picture.
I will soon be taking some Pharma to my psychnaught friend, he has a really cool loft for tripping in and i will be using this session as a halfway house session between what i think i should do with the molecule and what i want to do with it. We will be doing it for fun but it will be in a setting where if i am given something very special i will be able to absorb it in an apropriate way.
I have another friend who said to me "I like to smoke small amounts and just watch the trippyness of the room, not get really fucked up like you do". I feel he doesnt understand me at all.
Does any of that make any sense? probably not but not a hole lot makes sense these days.
note- i just read through that again and some of it seems a little "holier than though" which it isnt meant to be, but i find this quite difficult to get across my true feeling on this subject
any use to ya Purges?
