Psychedelics 🍄 killed my drug and alcohol dependencies - one trip two years ago to purge my depression and chronic anxiety from my system was the best decision I ever made. I've done psilocybin mushrooms a few times since, but after my last high dose trip I realized that the medicine has taught me enough for now. I might return to psychedelics later in my life if I ever find a source.
I have used psychedelics in my 20s and had profound insights and experiences. No "bad trips". Some of my friends told me the next day that I was "glowing" that night. I remember being very calm and peaceful, detached from the antics of the others, yet intensely aware of everything. This calm awareness stayed with me through the next day as well.
As a 26yr old INFP, Im such an advocate for psychedelics. I started out taking large macro doses all 1-4x a yr, but in the last year microdosing has improved integrating that psychic side into our reality consciously. I think for INF types we really need support/assistance to get out of our heads so much
Hi... 52 yo INFP here. I did acid once in my mid-twenties. I must have had too large of a dose because it was quite an unpleasant experience. I kept seeing disturbing images of violence and gore. I decided that was just not for me. I would consider trying again under the guidance and counsel of someone who was trained and qualified to help people using psychedelics. Thanks for the interesting video!
I'm curious, if you would be willing to share, did the imagery you saw have discernable links to past memories(maybe repressed) or actual world events of the time, or did it seem more abstract and symbolic? I'm thinking about this in terms of attempting to access suppressed and preverbal memories. Thanks for your comment and anything else you're willing to post.😊
Because mainstream anything, is self-ish centered, ego driven. Psychological "experts" are especially prone. I've yet to find a single professional, that has a fraction of the insight into healthy, loving, anomalous personalities, needed to actually help, especially after we've been mishandled or abused, which can be found ( if you're good at swiping past a lot of time wasting, egocentric convoluted info) online. But I know for me, it's just not as impactful as irl face to face experiences. Unfortunately. Thank you. Glad I found you.
Super fascinating subject! Thanks for bringing it up, and I would love to hear more about it. I'm an INFJ who has dabbled in psychedelics since my teenage years and I have always had huge respect for it as I've always felt that my rooting in "reality", as you explain it, could be disturbed quite easily. With that said, I find that the mushrooms and divine forces behind them have always rewarded my respect and carefulness with experiences that are important but manageable. At this point, I think my relationship with them is over. My sensitivity is increasing daily as I get closer to my true nature via healing modalities, meditation, soberness, etc, and I don't think they are supposed to play a larger part than they already have in my story toward wholeness.
That was very interesting, thank you! You confirmed what I already somehow knew about myself. I tried marihuana a few times and I always had really extreme effects. Completely different than others. I always said I never want to try psychedelics because I just know that it will be way too much for me and that I would have severe effects. Other people would never understand what I was talking about and say that I don´t know it because I never tried it. So your video affirmed my opinion and understanding why it is that way for me. Thanks for that!
I've had this same understanding and voiced it to others as "just knowing" that I would likely take a bad trip that I might not come back from (trauma and adaptations-related I now understand). Even marijuana had the power to send me into complete dissociation from reality, not with visions or hallucinations but merely a blank in my consciousness- I sure would love to see the outtakes reels!. I dissociate from the physical world pretty easily without help more recently as a result of my trauma defenses (schizoid), sometimes for hours, and return to the moment not remembering much of what I was thinking about. I have had times throughout my lifetime that I had crystal clear insights that I DID bring back and utilize. I am only very recently attempting, through writing, to capture my internal (spiritual plane , unconscious, subconscious) representations on paper and explore my emotional dissociation through the eyes and personalities of the "parts" characters I discover in that world, and it Is a TRIP!, but still difficult at this point to bring it back on paper, as I haven't been much of a writer since my late teens until about 9 months ago(57 now). I'm curious how other intuitives experience their own "trips" into the other world(s) and what kinds of information they typically find and how they are using it., and I'd really be interested in yours, if you care to share, since our awareness about hallucinogens sounds so similar. Thanks for this post, it validates my experience. 😊 Hope you're making the best of your "vacations" and that all your trips are good ones.
@don-eb3fj when I smoke weed, it makes me feel so very paranoid. it's as if I can see all my wrong doings, fakeness and just in general, things I didn't realize before. but it's so horrid I completely hate myself for it. and it's unclear whether this stuff is true or not.
@@MrWeeRhys Wow, I remember the paranoia, but I never thought about the underlying emotions and psychological mechanisms BEHIND the paranoia- I was young and ignorant of psychology and a lot of other things, and so prone to just zoning out that I probably wouldn't have been able to follow the trail if I had known to look. I haven't partaken of the leaf or bud in 30 years after realizing the dissociation got worse and my motivation suffered even worse (avolition goes with the SPD landscape). That's an interesting observation though, and it might be worthwhile to follow the green rabbit to see where that trail leads. ;) Thanks for the reply, and one more perspective to study this from.
If you, or any of your blood relatives have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or paranoia then you will have a high risk of experiencing psychosis with any of these types of drugs. If you have personally seen people you love have their lives fall apart irreparably, you might choose to stay away from these sorts of activities. Just because something is helpful for some people, doesn't mean it is ok for everyone.
Thank you! I was JUST wondering about this! My older sister was experimenting with mushrooms in her early 20's and by her late 20s she had schizophrenia and became a recluse from the world. She was a social butterfly before and popular even, but now she thinks everyone is a secret enemy of hers in some way :( So I feel concerned when thinking of drugs. Plus it doesnt help that my family has a history of mental health and I have autism.
This was fascinating, I appreciate you explaining this. In my recreational experiences I have had deeper experiences than my friends, and wondered why. I've always found those experiences to be spiritually powerful and they brought up a wide range of emotions that my friends weren't expecting. I've never had a bad experience though. Life changing in a good way a few times even! But it's definitely best to take the controlled medical route rather than making risky decisions 😅
Thanks Lauren, this is both a confirmation of my own "knowing" and a further caution, but I am fascinated with some of the possibilities I've heard about with these approaches. I'd love to hear more, and more details, about intuitives (and trauma) and hallucinogens. I've always been afraid to try it, knowing I would be the one who takes a really bad trip (maybe one way) but have heard so many people say how beautiful and mind-opening it was for them. If I knew more I might be willing to try it (supervised, of course) as a way to approach very early trauma, repressed memories, and unwanted beliefs. This is great information you nring, I'm so glad I found you!
Psilocybin truffles are not illegal in the Netherlands. There are some people offering retreats with them there. Might be an option for you. Good luck.
@@loveherenow. I bought some in Amsterdam several months ago but they are still in my fridge. I had the intuition that these mushrooms could have unpredictable consequences; after watching this video I understand why
In Germany you can buy LSD devirates legally. The current one is 1S-LSD. There is an online shop, that also offers retreats (aka taking LSD under "professional" suprvision). It is quite expensive though and nbot really therapy.
i started smoking weed abought 2 years now off and on. my first time i accidently ate all my brothers edibles unknowing lol. it has assisted me in my journey and i for sure get higher then anybody around me i wanna smoke because it brings out all those infg qaulitys that im not tapping into its a trip lol but to much it overloads me, ive realized that i gotta put it down and have not been smoking starting to enjoy life more i defintely got the infg thing where i wanna do all these grand things but dont ever do it. i just gotta work on will power and disciplined i still stay up late at night cuz thats when all my energy come out. slowly though im becoming more aware of my self and the world and feeling better abought it, thnaks to your videos :) also ive been reading your book its great.
I am an INFJ and I had about 20 psychedelic journeys primarily with pharmaceutical mescaline in my late teens and early 20s. I was able to come to some breakthrough insights about my manipulative and abusive family through my use of psychedelics that I would not have attained otherwise.
Interesting. Psychedelic therapy, or psychedelic misadventure, depends on the dose, be it prescription, or self medicated. This supports the theory I developed around some of artists/musicians I believe to be INFJ or INFP such as Peter Green or Syd Barrett, that became acid casualties.
Welcome to our natural born psychedelics life (To all INFJ & INFP out there) All the fungi (Fun-guy) and fungus (Fun-girls) always hang out with us because we had mushroom (much-room) to counseling them back to the spiritual dealing ,into One God to deal in with. We are doing something like a Messiah should do. Slogan - "Positive word of Truth , saved life" Dang !, God really do created people on High all the time to work with Him 😂😂😂. Angel must be head scratched, these human can lived life without a need of sprinkles of angel dust to do the job.
One the theme of psychic sensitivity, studies I've seen show that psychedelics appear to act to temporarily increase trait openness, however INFJs are generally already high in openness, and more probably isn't really that helpful.
I use medical weed…& the places I…can go & see…my culture…takes me to other places…& yes I only need a little bit… medical…weed to cEE…into other places…🕉️🥰☮️🐝
Yeah, and that's why spirituality and shamanism have been replaced by corporations and strip malls (and strip clubs) and the medicalization of the human condition with pharmaceuticals that mostly make things worse. Which is more important, rules to favor and promote a dead-end status-quo, or truth that could help humanity if more were understood about it? Seems some won't allow both, unless they can patent it.
used to just drive the car in to the cow paddock pick the gold tops🍄 and eat them on the way home lol, i like the 3rd eye thing i mean i see shit other people dont and they think i am super weird lol i dont fully understand what i did to myself but i took a lot of this type of stuff when i was younger. 🍄 lol , i probably shouldnt post this

Once I took shrooms on accident they were in a chocolate bar and my fat ass thought it was regular chocolate 😂

Ships psychedelics
@@userconspiracynuthow can I reach out?
Is it Instagram?
Yeah, he has variety of stuffs like mushrooms, LSD, DMT, MDMA even the chocolate bars

I wish I had this knowledge before I destroyed my mental health with psychedelics working with people who had no clue about this topic, great video!
I had really really nice, friendly, calming, enlightening and reassuring experience with psychedelics
My friends always oddly kept me away from psychedelics😮 I'm starting to understand now why they thought I didn't need it 😂

@@don-eb3fj But to answer your question directly, I had no conscious links to previous life experiences or memories during that trip.
Absolutely spot on Lauren. INFJ and INFP's have energetically/psychically sensitive systems and this needs to be factored in.
Opening doorways to the spiritual world.

I’ve intuitively been a little wary of psychedelics, and I wonder if this is why. Makes sense!
Same here - I've no objection to them in principle, but I've always felt they were not for me.
