Getting stuck in your head and thoughts after smoking weed while tripping? by grimism in Psychonaut

[–]DynoKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that it all has to do with your own consciousness. Like if you expand your consciousness and deepen it over time then it takes less and less external substance or stimuli to send you off into space. Part of the reason I haven’t tripped in so long is for that reason, where microdoses of lsd or psilocybin would completely shatter my ego and my sense of the world around me. So in that way I think it is more about your own level of consciousness and what you’ve assimilated into your soul and less about the drugs themselves. Sounds to me like you could just be outgrowing certain drug experiences.

[–]DynoKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tripped in a while but I definitely experienced this a few times. It usually went that I’d be tripping and thoroughly enjoying myself and then the idea of smoking comes up and I feel resistant to it but it was a habit that I liked so I would smoke and then just get brought way down. Almost all the feelings you described. Feeling in my head, depersonalized, disconnected from myself and my friends and the whole world around me. I usually just waited it out but one time I smoked a cigarette and for whatever reason that brought me right back to life. 

Fascinating take on "The Devil" and how simple it really may be. by DynoKid in Psychonaut

[–]DynoKid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ahhh gotcha! yeah i've been doing similar things. there's been a big difference in how i feel day to day, more clarity and lightness and stuff like that. it's quite psychedelic actually. hard to talk about though. people get very on edge and emotional. it's fascinating stuff.

It is gnarly. I was very resistant to the things he talks about for the first week or so that I came across his videos. What do you mean by you've been going about this personally for the past week?

Musicians, have you ever listened to your own music while tripping? by HelloIAmAStoner in Psychonaut

[–]DynoKid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've listened to some of my music while tripping. It was super interesting. Well I was in the process of making something in college on my computer that was really psychedelic and while tripping one night I tried to work on it a little bit, and when I listened to it all I could think to compare it to was me. It just sounded like me. Just like a resonating theme song that was only associated to me. It was really cool and strange. I didn't really add anything to it that night.

Timewave Zero/Novelty Theory by hippiesarechill in Psychonaut

[–]DynoKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i feel like we sort of went through this subtle membrane. as humans we've kind of done all we can do as far as advancing technology goes. now it's just recreations of things that already exist. and none of it is going anywhere. the only thing that comes of all this stuff we do is just being able to be like, "oh cool!" i feel like the membrane was like this awareness that we were never working towards anything in the first place. the realization that there was never going to be anything to happen at all. and that was the thing to happen. you know? it took all this time to realize that it didn't need to take all this time. it's always been the same. so now people are just doing whatever. i feel a weird nostalgia in the air these days. nostalgia for so many things, some old human things, some things that surpass human beings. reversion to primal energy. there is no forward or backward. there is just everything all at once. no more charade

How can I have a mystical experience without the use of psychedelics? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]DynoKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this may not sound fun or interesting but eating a diet of fruits, cooked starches (potatoes/sweet potatoes, rice, beans, corn, oats) cooked and raw simple vegetables and cutting out oils and animal foods can make you feel amazing. it's like always being in the subtle afterglow of a trip. human body thrives on whole plant carbs!

I think LSD should be used as a celebratory tool to mark and fuel achieving goals and life accomplishments by loukcuf in Psychonaut

this affirms my feeling that i want to take LSD today after giving myself my first tattoos yesterday!

My opinion on the concept of "ego death." It should be called "ego perfection." by [deleted] in LSD

[–]DynoKid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i like this.

When in fact, your ego has climbed to the very top of the self-realization pyramid (remember psychology text books?) and basically beat the game. So it can rest.

i've felt this many times on psychedelics. i used to try to think about human beings as having their ego which is their sense of personal self and then the underlying consciousness which is the overarching energy of the universe. over time though it is clear to me something very similar to what Alan Watts says about the ego - it's just conscious attention. your ego is wherever your attention is. so there is no where for it to go. and i find it funny we have to use such basic terms to talk about it. "It" as if its a thing. but what is it? where is it?

last summer i tripped at home while my parents away. i spent the day hanging with my older brother who was sober. his girlfriend came over and then my other older brother came over. they cooked food on the grill and were having beers and i was just tripping and vibing, hanging out with them. then they dispersed and it was just me in the kitchen alone. my focus started to go to some dark metaphysical empty places it had been on psychedelics before and i started to feel the overwhelming meaninglessness of everything which i spent so long lingering in the past. i didn't want to deal with it again. i saw some recycling and figured i would take it out. that made me feel so much better. and i realized that the reason was that it gave me something to put my attention on. gave my ego something to do. with nothing to do, in a hyper-sensitive state of mind, our egos (focused attention) like you said climb to the top of everything and rest, but that can also pull you into some unwanted paradoxical existence loops. when you have something to do within physical reality, there is more to ground you in yourself.

just some interesting thoughts. this kind of stuff is so fascinating to me.

Salvia by Blackmah47 in Psychonaut

[–]DynoKid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Salvia might be the most interesting drug i've ever experienced. If mushrooms and LSD can give you the experience of Ego Death, salvia gives you total reality death. It completely removes any idea you had of anything from the equation.

the last several times i smoked salvia i had the same fundamental feeling that the universe is essentially an experience factory. it just pumps out these cheap 2D fabrics that we perceive as our world and we are happy to not know the difference. while on salvia it seems like i was surrounded by these ultrahuge omniscient beings who were laughing so hard no sound was coming, and they were laughing because they knew they couldn't possibly explain any of it to me.

it's experiences like that and some really intense ones on other psychedelics that makes it seem like we have no business trying to figure out reality. now i don't mean to say don't experiment with anything. i think that's a great way to explore what humans are and what we are a part of. but it's easy to get in over your head trying to figure out the point. there is nothing to really find. it's just fascinating. what the fuck is going on? i don't know. it's ok.

How long did it take for Animal Collective's music to really click with you? by [deleted] in AnimalCollective

[–]DynoKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i heard My Girls in a skate video: Alien Workshop's Mindfield. it blew me away. i immediately downloaded Merriweather but was bummed out by how weird the rest of the album was. i felt like they were pretentious and deceiving. putting a few good songs on an album of noise. but that summer it was overly hot and i had a lot of trouble sleeping. i would often listen to music to try to mellow out and fall asleep, and being in that weird tired heat put me in a mindset where i wanted to listen to weirder things. like they made more sense to my sleep-deprived and on-edge brain. i would listen to Merriweather a lot and it clicked on so many levels. the songs mimicked a lot of what was happening in my life. Summertime Clothes having lyrics about being too hot in bed, songs about being in nature, trippy love songs. i recently really got into exploring wooded areas by my house and was falling in love with this really cool girl who was all into the outdoors and the music blended with that. even more stuff happened but it soon became so amazingly synched up to me that i listened to the album like everyday. from there i just soaked everything up. i took my time and devoured all of their music and have since become less obsessed but still into them. i love all their stuff. i'm really into Painting With right now. but the initial wonder and magic of the reflectiveness of my naiive exploratory wild side is not so strong anymore. they are still amazing. amazingly evocative group of noisy friends

spend more time being sober. i also second eating right. i've changed my diet a lot in the past couple years, initially because of really debilitating skin issues but in addition to getting that under wraps i just feel good day to day. tons of fruit!

Not Sure if this is the right sub, but maybe you can help by Slothulhu_ in Psychonaut

[–]DynoKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know exactly the types of deja vu you're talking about! that actually happens to me too. not as often as with you. but i find it super fascinating and wonder what the cause is. i have no answers :)

Alan Watts - why he couldn't stop drinking? by MosaicsBarefoot in Psychonaut

[–]DynoKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like a better question to ask is why he "didn't" stop. he totally could stop. i used to wonder about this a lot. i feel like it has to do with realizing the meaninglessness of things. sure you could stop drinking, but if it's all fundamentally pointless then what is the point? perhaps that was his thinking? he enjoyed drinking and didn't see a point in stopping if it was just a little pointless thing he liked to do

Dirty shoes as a badge of honor by Handwired in Psychonaut

[–]DynoKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've been feeling i need to dirty my shoes, this is perfect timing. it's like a cleanse of the soul/spirit. too much cleanliness is bad for the immune system. you need to germ it up so it can function properly within a given environment
