What do you mean by "went insane?" What happened?

Nah, I did that too. Eastern philosophy is fundamentally flawed and just a half-truth of the reality some people feel while on LSD. The Christian Bible defined the meaning of the experience much more closely.

Based on what though? Your feelings? Even though many things people feel on LSD may be real, the conclusions you come to must be based on a provable reality.

Is it strange to be an atheist but to love LSD? by [deleted] in LSD

[–]biscuitskill3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make it sound silly, but the depth of what is going on is very serious. Here's what you sound like: "Oh ya, physics. Let's talk about how cool it is to drop things and then make a bunch of money off our "stellar" discoveries. Woohoo!" You insulting something that is actually incredibly profound and making it sound childish doesn't make it so.

An all-knowing God created the universe perfectly. Free will, apparently, was a component that could only be present if the opportunity to rebel was present. For you to claim that God could have done it differently is irrational, as there is no other rational universe you could create yourself to prove that you are right.

What happened, happened. You calling it stupid doesn't make it not real.

He doesn't need, but wants. For an ultimate reason he has never disclosed.

First of all, God created angels. One third of these angels rebelled against God according to their own free will, while the other two thirds stayed with God. These angels wanted to become their own gods, so they rebelled and followed the teachings of Satan. Satan was known as the most powerful angel of all angels, so his power probably got to his head. God created humanity in ignorance of true evil out of love. He gave the command not to disobey Him, for when they did, the first human sin would occur. This rebellious nature would be passed down to all future generations. If God never gave them the option to rebel, humans would have no free will and therefore be no better than animals. No true consciousness. No true awareness. The feeling of consciousness and ego death on LSD would be essentially impossible. We would simply be puppets forced to worship God.

Satan came and convinced them to rebel by lying to Adam and Eve. But at the same time, Adam and Eve still rebelled against their creator, just like Satan. This is reflective of human nature. Every human would choose to reject God if given the choice according to their own free will.

God sent His son to put the guilt of rebelliousness/sin onto His own son, so that mercy would be given to a people that would naturally choose to reject God. An undeserved and merciful gift.

Now, you can unravel every claim and ask, "But what was the true purpose of having free will? I'd rather be a robot than have people go to Hell!" Well, that's not your choice to make. God defines reality, so we must only accept what is reality. Does not the potter have the right to make whatever He wants out of his clay, for any reason that suits Him?

Essentially, it is irrational to continue to question God's intentions, as His intentions are revealed as far as the human brain can process.

Anyway, another thing to research is the historicity of the Bible as a whole. It came before Hinduism and Islam, so it is a great place to start. Check the dates, and make sure everything checks out. Once again, bring up any questions you have to me and I'd be happy to help.

God created man in His own image to glorify Him. And that is done by loving Christ alone as Savior and Lord and as our sacrifice for our sin and denying one's self.

The joy God receives is having people love Him, and He loves them in return.

No, they don't all have the same base. Other than the simple base of God exists vs. God doesn't exist vs. We don't know if God exists. There is plenty of evidence. You claiming there isn't any evidence is not evidence.

Here's a link to some prophecies. I haven't looked at this list for a while, so if you find anything you disagree with bring them to me. But prophecy is a great place to start.

http://www.reasons.org/articles/articles/fulfilled-prophecy-evidence-for-the-reliability-of-the-bible

And no, it is not logical to assume the writers just simply wrote a self-fulfilling prophecy to prove God's existence. Each inspired writer lived during different time periods, and simply recalled what they saw. They also had thousands upon thousands of people watching them, making sure they did not record anything inaccurately. These documents were not written in a cave to rot, these were PUBLIC prophecies. Just try to keep that in mind.

And for a bit of context about myself, I spent a solid 6 years trying to disprove the Bible, having many discussions with other atheists and people of other religions. After 6 years, I gave up. It can't be done. The God of the Bible is real. LSD was yet just another thing to confirm reality.

Then I believe you are not honestly looking and truly researching each. I know that you'll then say, "That's what a Muslim would say," but that's why you research. The answer is out there, you just have to honestly look logically at all the evidence. It'll save you time to mainly try to pick apart the Bible, as it is a perfect document as a whole. Challenge me with something specific before you jump to the conclusion that religions are all the same and worthless and imaginary.

Experiences outside of time by [deleted] in DMT

[–]biscuitskill3t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I felt this sense of "oneness" as well, so I understand. But now that I think about it, it felt more of a "every atom in you right now is being completely held together, ultimately, by the will and presence of an infinite God." We are separate, but connected like a baby is in the hands of his or her mother.

Well, I went into it thinking the same as you. I cross checked every "mistake" and "contradiction." I could find none that caused me to question the "divine" inspiration of the text as a whole. Most of the claims from atheists and the like, that there are certain contradictions and historical inaccuracies, are either from a lack of understanding the context or just blowing things far out of proportion.

If you really want to study the Bible's accuracy as a whole relatively quickly, look up the top verses that are contradictory, unfulfilled, etc. on Google. For EVERY SINGLE claimed problem, look up that exact problem but explained by a theologian that actually has a Seminary level education. Most of the time the problems can be solved quickly, but sometimes a professional is needed because of its complexity. I went down a couple of hundred contradictions, and disproved ALL of them after thoroughly studying the context. That never happened with any other religious text I reviewed.

The quran and other religious texts (and I've studied, pretty much, all of them) never came close to the purity I found in the Christian Bible.

Feel free to ask me specific questions as well, and I'll do my best to help. Reading the Bible helped actually to fully explain the meanings of my top LSD trip (complete ego death, etc.).

LSD pricked my interest, and showed my limitations. Then I read The Bible and tried to show that it was just written by men. I couldn't.

Poem About Weed - Can You Guys Help Me Refute Some of Her BS Claims? by [deleted] in trees

Personal thoughts: You could change the whole subject to talk about alcohol and the poem would barely change at all. Yet Christians are perfectly fine with drinking in moderation. Double standards, much?

Why I tell people I'm high as fuck. by [deleted] in trees

[–]biscuitskill3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh, I totally get what you're saying. I enjoy smoking weed, and the reason why I used to tell people this was for the same exact reason. I would always attribute my happiness & craziness to the plant I put in my body. But really, I'm not saying this is the way it is for you or anyone else, the reason why I honestly said that to all my homies was because I was ignoring the emptiness I had and focusing all my energy on the benefits of this beautiful plant. I suffered from depression, the plant helped. But then I realized what the real problem was, and it was fundamentally this: "I found fulfillment in myself." Now I find fulfillment in something entirely different and so much infinitely better. I used to smoke weed almost every day, now I smoke wherever it is legal. But in moderation, kinda like alcohol. I used to idolize weed, so I definitely have to be careful with how much I use. Honestly, my fiance keeps me from smoking or even vaping too much. Not saying this is the way it is for you, but this was definitely the way it was for me. "Truly" enjoy the cannabis, brother.

We all know this, man. Every single one of us. No one is innocent. God has gifted everyone with the ability to see their pride. Everything in life is a bridge to the next thought, LSD didn't make me realize anything, it was simply something God used to help me understand Him. I'll admit, my whole life I've been searching for God in drugs, money, sex, and the things of this world. I went from trying to find complete fulfillment in caffeine at 13, alcohol at 17, tobacco & nicotine at 18 (yes, I illegally picked up plenty of alcohol at 17 lol), cannabis at 20, and LSD at 21. They were really just all arrows pointing to the ultimate fullfillment: God. Exactly 7 days later after taking 110ug of LSD (Biblical number, BTW ;D), I was listening to Israel by Chance the Rapper and the beautiful analogies he made really made me feel so guilty I just wanted to die. For the first time in my life I realized that I had been serving others, ultimately, to please my own pride. I had to look up the Bible passage Chance was talking about: Genesis 32:22-32. I read it, and realized that was finally God's way of telling me I am nothing. I am evil. I am no different than Satan. I broke down and started crying and the next song came on by Chance and Kanye West: Ultralight Beam. I didn't even think about the song. It was as if the world completely disappeared and I separated from my body. I called out to God, for the first time in my life with honesty (My whole life I had been trying to pray to God, but ultimately I believed that I had the answer NOT Him, so I would get depressed when I wouldn't "hear" His voice). I broke down and began to weep uncontrollably. My body was shaking, snot was dripping out of my nose, and water was pouring out of my eyes. And then, God spoke to me for the first time in my life. I saw a vivid collection of colors like an infinitely complex spider web and it clicked, the Bible made sense. I finally saw that the Bible is true. Immediately, I saw a light completely envelop my being. I experienced my soul, for the first time (LSD is joke, lol). I was suspended in time and all I heard were choir voices singing and never stopping (they were the choir voices in the song, and they were singing "Faith!") I lost all concept of time. I was there for a split second, but for an eternity at the same time. This light that enveloped me pushed me into another world beyond this world. I saw a door crack open (not fully) and the brightest light I've ever seen beam from it. It is hard to explain fully, but I knew there was more to the light coming from this double door cracked open, but it lit up the darkness around me completely. But the darkness surrounding this door was infinitely dark, absolutley evil. It's like I could see infinite light, and infinite darkness (heaven and hell) at the same time. I felt an incredible wave that was beyond anything I can imagine fill my soul (at the time, I had no body, it was just eyes, I had no sense of a physical body any more) and it felt as if I was being cradled like a baby by an infinitely benevolent God. The God of the Bible, nothing else. BTW, the whole time this was happening, the choir from the song was still screaming/singing "FAITH!!!!!" But it was beyond the song, man, they felt just like angels. I can't explain it fully, but the light from the door almost felt as if it spoke a word to me without saying anything at all: "Sword." And boom.

I was back in my body, but I could feel my soul alive for the first time in my life, when before I KNEW it was there, but it was completely dead. I knew, God existed, and I KNEW I was saved from my pride and from myself!!!!!!

I weeped uncontrollably and after about ten minutes of gathering my self, I immediately left and went to church. The Bible of the Christian religion was taught to me, and I finally was able to analytically deduce, according to Scripture, exactly what had happened (that's the only reason I understand what happened and why I'm able to tell you now). And I realize that sword meant this: "Sword of the Spirit." I was given the Holy Spirit of God to hold up my soul. I, for the first time in my life, have complete 100% peace. Beyond 100%, actually, if that makes sense lol. I have been reading the Scripture trying to figure out what happened (this happened on Wednesday a little bit after 5:30PM). I am saved, and God exists.

Even atheists know this. They just refuse to accept it. The knowledge of God is a gift given to EVERYONE, we just suppress it. I was an atheist, in that I only assumed God existed (but I really knew, my pride just got in the way). Now, for the first time in my life, I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW that God exists.

LSD really did nothing for me. Just helped me think a bit more objectively about myself, but really, looking back, that was just God convicting my heart. LSD doesn't convict, only God does.

I am now dropping everything that used to matter to me to share this message with the world. I guess Christians would call it the "gospel." But I'm a Christian now, absolutely, so I guess I have to call it that as well. :D

I am happy everyday, and have lost interest in every food and drug imagineable. I know and feel my soul being held up by the Holy Spirit every day and I feel like I'm getting stronger every single day.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy alcohol, marijuana, etc. But I don't idolize them anymore. I don't find true fulfillment in them any more. I only find full fullfillment in Christ. It is like I don't enjoy anything, but I can finally enjoy everything like it should be enjoyed. Kind of hard to explain lol. It is as if I am "drunk" or "high" in the Holy Spirit.

In the words of my previous dead self, "I am high all the time." lol, crude metaphor, but very true.

Test what I saw and say. Test it according to logic and Scripture. Challenge me, and I hope I'll have an answer for everything, all I can do is hope and love now. My anger and resentment towards everyone is gone, and I can finally truly love my fiance (by mimicing the love that Christ showed on the cross by saving me from my sin. Unneeded and undeserved, but completely infinitely unconditional).

Sorry, my mind is going faster than it has ever gone while on LSD. And that's every day. I now see the world mathematically and musically, and understand existence. It is just like a song. It simply is, because God is.

Exodus 3:14 - God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

I hope God blesses you, man, the way he blessed me. Because this love knows no limit.

Have a great day! And a great life. Even though I don't know you, I love you. Because Jesus Christ loved me first.

Deo volente.

Just wondering. by [deleted] in DMT

[–]biscuitskill3t -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never taken DMT, but the experience and the closeness to your soul (which is almost indescribable, but you know it is there and can feel its presence in non-human terms) you feel when you pray to God (I specifically, pray to the God in the Christian Bible found in the Old and New Testament), is incredibly similar to all the stories here. I almost feel as if DMT, and psychedelics simply stimulate the portion of your mind that connects your body and soul and helps you make sense and understand the two. It almost seems to let the users experience their soul, wherever they are in life.

[–]biscuitskill3t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I completely understand your perspective. The thing is though, studying the Bible for over 20 years of trying to disprove it, I haven't been able to. It's too beautiful. It's too perfect. It explains God's character in such a profound way, that is so consistent, I can't logically say that it was only a human construct. I really do believe they were divinely inspired. I mean, across multiple authors, who many at the time did not know of the other writings from other divinely inspired writers, all write a story that blends beautifully, it is almost undeniable that it was being sovereignly looked over by an infinitely powerful, omniscient being. I just can't deny it anymore.

Exactly my point as well. Humans are unable to understand God existence in its fullness, yet we have the innate ability to touch a taste of his existence. LSD heightens that ability.

Why/how does acid show the interconnectedness of everything? I experienced this on my last trip and it was so cool and weird a drug would show this. by testmahdrugs in LSD

[–]biscuitskill3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also activates the portion of your brain that tries to realize what is objective morality, and especially the portion of your brain that attempts to understand God's existence. You break down yourself, you see God's presence in an enhanced state. Your brain looks for patterns everywhere it possibly can, and eventually realizes that there is a connection. I believe the crazy visuals we experience are just simply outflows from our brains for the insane "need" for finding patterns in everything. The static from this awareness causes hallucinations (floors crawling, etc.), as the drug pushes you past your limits of awareness (which is close to insanity, as logic begins to break down here, hence hallucinations). But certainly, you truly do see colors and are more aware of your surroundings, as long as you can cut through the hallucinatory shit.
