Re: trips wrong
I believe there are so many realities and levels of existence. I am also very aware of this one. The experiences I've had were special and I never treated any of these substances lightly, nor did I use these consciousness altering substances to try to escape this world.
Okay sure, in the past I have used some substances for fun, but certainly not usually and not all.
What is illusion anyway and what is not?
As far as this reality, I love it, love life, love knowledge. I haven't forgotten or hidden any feelings I have in this world. A lot of my experiences refer to my past, but not all of them. I was never seeking to escape, I was seeking expansion!
I am in touch with my feelings and boy do I FEEL and I am clear about being clear and seeing myself and this world through very aware eyes. Yes, I agree I wouldn't want to be without my feelings, that would be terrible! To be so out of touch... but I am not out of touch.
Thank you for expressing your concern and wisdom from your own experience of losing touch with yourself in this world. I do appreciate it.
A lot of people don't have such positive experiences either. They feel afraid or whatever and don't feel enriched by it at all, so it's definitely not for everyone.
Some people end up feeling depressed and cut off, so I'm glad you mentioned some negative aspects of "trips". I meant to add that kind of thing too, that for some people it can lead to suffering or at least total confusion.
