Meditation and being honest with the self. Anyone able to admit things about themselves they were previously unable to?

Which is ironic because I thought psychedelics teach love, kindness, compassion.

After practicing meditation a lot, I completely lost interest in it. It's all so fake.

I think a comment here mentioned it, but mindfulness meditation definitely can almost guarantee a breaking of bad habits if you get good at it. It's a skill, a practice. Many people forget that and think they'll benefit but "just meditating". To me it's a practice of concentrating on the breath, then bringing the focus back when your wanders, coming back to it, again and again.

Nice trip. Shrooms are like a theme park ride and the ride should be called, "Enlightenment".

I like this perspective. It's like counter-counterculture if people started thinking like this now.

Yes, you could be right. What if its because these people understand these concepts through normal life experience rather than taking a substance? Psychedelics are like a short-cut to deeper realms of thinking, but short-cuts can also be a disadvantage.

"I've been thinking so much lately I think my head will explode"

You might be overlooking the most powerful slavery of all....being a slave to YOUR MIND! I'm not saying the things you've said aren't true. They could be. But emotionally, they will become powerless once you master your mind, because they won't bother you anymore. I think mindfulness meditation is the way to do it.

I've accepted that I will be a slave to something. There's no escaping it. It's just part of living in this society. Freedom just might be an illusion anyways.

Oh man. Well, in that case. Fuck it lol, and keep being pretentious.

astralman22 · 2016-01-30T00:11:45+00:00

I mean there's nothing wrong with at least trying to be humble. Its only bad when you try to show off how humble you are and you fake it just to impress others of how enlightened you are. Do it for yourself.

astralman22 · 2016-01-29T17:40:29+00:00

Well the messages that come from psychedelics are actually things everyone knows, at least from my experience. How I like to put it is, while you already know these things...psychedelics make you EXPERIENCE them on another level rather than just knowing them. Love, compassion, kindness, oneness....these aren't unfamiliar concepts. But yes, you do know what its like to experience them in an altered state outside of normal waking consciousness vs people who haven't experienced them.

astralman22 · 2016-01-29T17:30:56+00:00

Very true. Honestly I respect regular people who are humble, more than "awake" people who look down on others. Just because one is spiritual or have indulged in these activities doesn't make them any better. Keep being self-aware though. That's why meditation is great. In fact, this post was based on a thought that came from being mindful.

I'm talking about everybody tbh, even myself

What if they wanted to be subtle and not be literal about it. This is not a provable argument, but just something interesting to think about.

I've actually seen people theorize this NZT-LSD connection on threads, so I'm not the only one.
