I agree that only taking psychedelics at festivals is wrong but you can do both & that isn't wrong. People who have already done a lot of self reflection and solo trips are usually far more comfortable having those experiences in crowds because they've already been shown what you need to see so it enhances the festival experience so much! Psychedelic festivals are the only places you can share a psychedelic journey with a massive crowd. There's nothing like that feeling of tapping into your primal self & being connected so deeply with your neighbour
THIS!!! I wanted to write something similar but honestly you said it all. I love taking psychedelics both alone and at festivals and rituals. It's a different experience. When you have some experience with psychedelics and you see lots of stuff and kind of get the hang of it, you become able to also do fun stuff while tripping. I'd never take mushrooms at a festival though, for me shrooms make music and external stimulation unbearable. Acid is different. It adapts to my environment and gives me a completely different experience if I'm alone and if I'm with others. I took Ayahuasca as well in a ritual setting, while it wasn't at a party it *was* with "a bunch os strangers", but honestly I just loved everyone and felt very safe being around people even though I was going through my own personal hells and heavens.
Yes! This! I completely agree and would also like to add that festivals for some people act as a type of ritual and there’s a lot of similarities between rituals and festivals. Music, dancing, community. Festivals are just a group coming together for a single purpose, to enjoy music. Though I can understand where Dakota is coming from and I agree there are a LOT of people taking these things blindly not doing the inner work, and I think it only hurts them in the end, these are usually the people who do get burnt out as he described and wind up never really understanding any of what they experienced. But most festivals I’ve seen and been to try and do a lot to help educate people about self work and have practices even during the festival like meditation and yoga and sound baths ect. Its all about intention. If you have bad intentions with taking these drugs and take them irresponsibly (ie mixing substances, taking too much, ect) then bad things are bound to happen.
There’s nothing wrong with only taking them at festivals😂I know friends that can only take psychs at a festival because on the connected energy throughout the festival.
its so true 😂 the first time i got shrooms from my plug i asked him about how it felt and stuff and he was saying oh you just feel happy and see colors and shit, just take them and go watch a movie youll like it. cut to me 2 hours later laying out in the yard sobbing with joy because i imagined my veins were just rivers and all my cells were dressed as little caveman living around my veins
Maybe your "stupid" friend is already in a perpetual state of ironic enlightenment, that psychedelics don't work on him in the way they do on the, actually, dumb people like ourselves. It sounds like he's just living, without questioning, and that may very well be the answer.
that is the problem living, without questioning anything is to live in ignorance questioning your self internal about what your eyes see is how Awareness starts
@tony R no man he prob has aphantasia condition and hasnt figure it out, i have it the pychdelics show m that in the dark wen i was byself, 5g, 10g shrooms dsnt matter its just not visual experince
@@Piccolo_Sun I think generally he meant living without putting a barrier on yourself by overthinking things into infinity. Maybe he questions only what needs to be questioned to continue his peaceful flow of life.
I think that this is kind of a human-centric type of view though. First and foremost lifeforms are poisonous to defend themselves against those which would eat them. The purpose of making you hallucinate is first off to slow you down so that a predator can eat you. Now, we've all felt as though the boomers communicate using our body/minds as a vessel, but technically you are holding them hostage as you digest their bodies, lol. It's very interesting to think that the toxins were created by a conscious, ancient lifeform for the purpose of communicating with humans, but again, that's a bit egocentric on the human end. "Ascension" itself is rather a floating signifier. Is the depth of extended consciousness seen on psychedelics not just an extension of limited reality? Ultimately we are still largely limited by our conception of shapes/patterns/language/etc. I'm not sure that seeing what is "beyond the curtain" is inherently "ascension" anyways, so much as just being another compartment within compartments. Things tend to not just be 1 way, but this AND that. Empathy is a beautiful thing, but it is also a weakness. As I said, humans communicate and project from their subconscious while on psychedelics, but they are also made prey. Being prey is necessary to seeing ego destruction, but one must have ego in approaching the state of being prey if seeking to "ascend", lol. So, what is it really that we are looking for here?
@@deificmasque6473 That's just a human brain creating a theory, since we arn't mushrooms you can't actually know if that's the case. Mushrooms have varied effects in different dosages as well. In lower dosages it can actually be the exact opposite of what you said and be a performance enhancer.
i really thought i was going insane for a while. But I think people who use psychedelics in a ritualistic way are just naturally spiritually articulate and are acutely aware of the potential of these experiences
The more I learned about other religions and philosophies and i realized it was changing the nature and understanding of my trips. Also playing music became different the more I learned and practiced other instruments. So I would say psychedelics are rooted in you're own awareness and knowledge of the world. This is why the mystery religions always support learning of the arts and nature. They say the more you understand the world the more you understand God. People who are too scared to learn other cultures religion and practices will never experience what they have to offer so their playground is as small as what they are aware of.
☺️ I couldn’t agree with you more ,… I can’t wait to see how these medicines can/will revolutionize the masses >>>I truly believe this is just the beginning of so many great things to come ✨
@@MitziHart i will be make a video on it however i think it is more beneficial if you figure it out yourself the key is being aware while you are using that you have to understand how it is affecting and how you can leverage to grow as a life form
I love you Dakota💜 I feel what your saying 100% I can’t take psychedelics with people that I already know aren’t deep or on my level. Because I really take a journey within and melt. And if I’m with a “stupid” person. It’s just not safe for me. Thanks for expressing this.
People who focus on the visuals and just take it to Have a good time are just living in the moment and so I feel that they aren't "stupid" but actually just really living life unlike people like me who overthink. Not everything has to be deep.
@@el7512 do you live under a rock? do you not see all the bullshit that people do all around the world. there are definitely people that are just stupid. if you dont see that, you're just naive.
The madman drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims. To an untrained mind, psychedelic spaces and insight do seem insane. That's why ceremony, self-control, humility, being present, and long periods of integration are so vital. Great video!
I started my spiritual journey quite a while before taking psychedelics, I started meditating everyday, started questioning everything, became very interested in the unknown of the universe, became motivated to be the change in the world and to be as selfless as possible everyday, spent a lot of time in nature, went vegan, realized time is an illusion, I experienced what it was like to be fully present in the moment for the first time, and About 5,6 months later after starting this journey of “awakening” I took lsd for first time and it was the most intense profound “spiritual” experience that “i” didn’t go through. “I” Realized fear is an illusion, “I”felt complete unconditional love for myself and for the universe that was beyond words, “I” experienced ego death, it was incredible! I think what it mostly is maybe is that some people just aren’t ready to experience some of these things like ego death, and some are never meant to. I think people that have never become very interested in the unknown of the universe, consciousness, that have never started meditating before, never fully disciplined themselves to try to be the change in the world and to be as selfless as possible, to let go of conditioning from they’re parents, school, tv, internet, government, religion, people that have never really questioned reality, themselves, everything, they most likely aren’t gonna get many profound realizations or a very eye opening crazy “spiritual experience” from taking psychedelics because they aren’t ready. “They aren’t ready to step into the fire of self discovery and burn what is not them.” “They are not ready to discover a truth that will rob them of they’re deepest held ideas, beliefs, hopes, and dreams. A truth that will turn they’re view of self, reality, and life upside down.” Also people that don’t know much about psychs other than oh yeah it’s supposed to be trippy and you see things and they don’t know anything about it really, it’s history, or it’s potential for spiritual exploration, they most likely aren’t gonna experience anything crazy especially if they’re at a party or just with a bunch of people doing whatever. I wish everyone could experience some of things “I” have while on and off psychedelics!
@@dakotawint as with everything, it's a reflection of us. When people hate social media and blame it for ruining our lives, what is lost in all of it, is that it's all us. It's a look into ourselves that we hate. Same with psychedelics. Its a trip into oneself on different layers. Conscious, subconscious and collective. There's no separation, it's all yours, all one either way. :) 'Bad' trips often arise when one encounters the shadow, ones subconscious. If shadow has layed dormant up until that moment, that first encounter can be horrific and traumatic, but again, it's all you. All us. All one. As above, so below. Appreciate your content Dakota. Perhaps one day our paths will cross.
Your really are doing a lot more than you realize by spreading this knowledge,Your effect on society and this world is the brightest light I've witnessed and i have nothing but love and support for you,i feel like your journey has mirrored mine (somewhat)over the years of following you,I pray for nothing but greatness on your enlightened path.
the last time i did mush it was completely an interior experience, i laid down and dont think i got up or opened my eyes once, the depth of the inner world was far more interesting, peeling back veil after veil, chamber after chamber, I really would not think of using it in any other way now, and i can guage someone's maturity in these things by how they respond to this simple anecdote.
Dropping acid at a good psytrance festival is top notch. Dancing among gods and deities with 12-D sound. Life can be a party, why be restrictive if one seems to benefit? I feel like psychedelics opened up paths for healing through dancing in me that i can now access sober.
@@dakotawint I know what you are talking about, but I would say that our ancestors in all cultures used psychedelics to dance themselves into trance, I would say this is deeply rooted in our bias. We are made out of water and this water gets harmonized by music and rhythm. Even if maybe a lot of people who use psychedelics at festivals are not diving down deep into themselves and are not fully aware of the potential, they are following an old subtile longing deep in their hearts to get connected to the beat. The first thing humans feel is the heartbeat of their mother - and their own.
A good friend of mine is a knucklehead, he did lots of acid with me but he would get no ego dissolution or euphoria, he just does it for the visuals and whenever he notices how deep I am into the experience, he just says he is bored. We had some euphoric moments together but he doesn't feel the spiritual part. Very weird, I stopped tripping with him because it kinda makes it hard to get something out of it when he is around. When I trip alone on shrooms and dance or whatever I get much more out of it and its alot more blissful by myself. With him it has often been stressful, he is on an ego trip while my ego is quite fragile.
It took me along time and alot of uncomfortable weird trips to realize that I need to trip by myself. It helps me open up completely, when people are around it could be a head fk...... by myself... The plants on my garden and the wildlife around me ... Perfect that's how I hope everyone does it.. you learn so much when you let these beautiful substance work.
I agree with you! My first mushroom trip was great because of the set and setting. My partner and i invited friends who we previously have contemplated and gone in depth in thought about this crazy human experience. I think thats what made it so special, since under the influence of the medicine we felt total freedom and no judgment to speak what she was communicating to us. I remember that the word that most came up in the conversation was acceptance. The mushroom communicated to us to accept fully this experience, accept our sick stomachs, our nauseas, the bliss after the comeup, the clarity of the medicine and the harsh truths. thats what i got of the experience, that to transcend in life the most important thing is to accept the reality of it all, the reality of us as individual's and as a collective just as it is.
Mushrooms showed me that judgement in any form is wrong due to the ultimate name- and conceptlessness of the universe. That being said you're absolutely right.
I feel like I know this on an intellectual level but haven't learned it on a deeper level. Guess I'm on my way at least lol. How much easier life would be to realize it's all bullshit at the end of the day. Opinions that is.
Dakota I appreciate your message. However, emphasizing the importance of set and setting should be shared every time we preach the importance of these medicines. For example, making sure the body is ready to receive the compound via water fasting, juice fasting, prayer, cleaning the home, getting rid of old junk, intention setting, etc. I think we all need to level up our thinking around set and setting and meet the medicine half way. A lot of people are hurting and probably best for them to evaluate their circumstances first before jumping head first into medicine land. Just my thoughts on this…
We need more comments like yours. I like to plan and set myself up for success. I'd rather not clean on my trip and enjoy it the best I can. Most people don't talk about this and I think it's why there are so many bad trip stories or cleaning stories
Here's what it gave to me, release judgement of myself and others. Let others fail so they can learn. Grace is a gift, accept it and give it to others.
Maybe it requires recognizing the subtle psychedelic experiences or trips we‘re presented with on a day to day as we go about our lives, so that we can recognize the knock on the door when experience is enhanced by plant magic
When I was a teenager taking lsd, it was never implied by any of my peers that there was anything spiritual about it. We took it to freak out over the wild effects and so forth and lol at eachother tripping out. It wasn't until I started becoming interested in spiritual topics that I began to characterize my trips as having a spiritual component.
Thats funny because I had the exact opposite experience. Took them for years at low doses just as drugs until I pushed it too far and then boom. I was talking to God, and it wasn't subtle, its unmistakable when it happens. When you're tripping to a point where you cannot move like on a heroic dose I think its impossible to not delve into the depths of your mind as there is nothing else to stimulate you but your own conciousness
Thank you dakota! I had a similar feeling with people I called friends at that moment of time. At first I thought I was the only one who lost it, but after some time it all got sorted out, and now some of those people are even experiencing the same things I was feeling some time ago, happy about that))
I disagree man... dimension walking over the dancefloor totally tripped out is a mystical experience in itself too. Its not a philosophical sort of experience contemplating existence but man its mystical for sure too... not doing it you deny yourself tons of pleasure my friend ;) At the same time I definitely agree with you that its a sort of sacred tool to discover yourself and it definitely has had a very very profound effect on me enhancing my psychological wellbeing tremendously :) Its also a super tool to foster my creativity and enhancing my artistic skills :D
Had this same thought a while ago. Psychedelic’s extent of giving is limited to what your intentions are, and then some. It will take what you have in mind right before you take it and run with it. They are sort of like a people pleaser, but simultaneously not in a way where they can show you how you have mistreated them. My only bad trip was at a party, where as all my other trips were in a safe place with people I trust. So be careful what you wish for, why you wish for it and especially where you are mentally and physically when you take your trip. Much love
It also depends on the psychedelics you take. I have BPD and OCD, so something like LSD makes me feel so uncomfortable, but it forces me to understand my biggest weaknesses and what I need to see, not necessarily what I want to. I never do it to party. It's too "cold" of a drug for me without a friend I can depend on, but I have unstable relationships. I have done mushrooms, low dose, and I feel that they are much better for me, they have a calming effect, which will have me learn to take a step back and appreciate myself. When I'm overtly emotional, I become stupid, so learning to ease the most volatile parts helps me look at the bigger picture.
I took some shrooms and sat alone in my closet on the floor with the door closed. I stayed in there for the entire trip which lasted a few hours. I was just following my instincts to do this. I found myself asking questions in my mind and then receiving answers telepathically about all sorts of different things I'd always wondered about. Many of the answers had me laughing out loud because they had such a delightful and insightful sense of humor. I remember it felt like I was receiving revelation after revelation from the cosmos. This was decades ago and I can't recall what was said to me now nor what I was inquiring about, but I remember that it was very profound and I did think about everything I'd learned for many years after that. I don't know for sure, but I believe that this experience helped me on my journey to becoming a more spiritually aware person. I do recall that I had some questions about males vs females as that was a major theme for me back when I was in my 20s, and I think that it made me somewhat wiser. It helped give me peace of mind, that's for sure.
To me it comes down to a couple things but I've found if you don't atleast think existence itself is weird when you're sober, you won't notice it get weirder when you take psychedelics. I don't think they miss out on the same existential experience, it just doesn't resonate with them in a way they can comprehend. At the end of the day you either know your a 'monkey' in peoples clothing or you don't. That the society we built is merely an ant colony, not some all pervasive truth. It is secondary to it. When all language is metaphor, people miss out on so much nuance by disregarding anything they can't comprehend literally. P.S Song and dance is actually a HUGE part of the psychedelic experience. I know at least here in Australia aboriginals used to have multi tribe gatherings where they took psychedelics made (basically) trance music and danced around fires. Creating pretty much festivals. I think both the 'party animal' and the 'hippie' archetypes/stereotypes are both born from our original complete ceremonial use of psychedelics. Today it appears fractured among two camps, I subscribe to the introspective one with a disdain for people who use it for a buzz. But I'm sure there is something i could learn about being confident enough to dance freely in front of strangers while tripping balls.
I questioned this myself, I wondered why when it came to myself and others like me, it was profound spiritual experiences and gained gratitude and empathy, and then I know of others that continue doing terrible things to others, and be very superficial and manipulative still. It genuinely confused me, no profound change, and a wasted tab honestly.
I had an experience where my friend read my fuckin mind yo! Haha. I think it’s because I am or had learned at that point the oneness, through these compounds (or at least conceptualized it ha) and so I wasn’t shut off to that and he was a dope friend and was open to that as well at the time, and so it worked. Because I know a lot of people would be afraid of the idea of telepathy because they would not want their nefarious thoughts read. Not saying I only have pure thoughts but I didn’t feel judged for any bad thoughts anyways because if telepathy is real then the oneness is real and then why would you judge? You would understand and love. But later on I leaned that one of the siddhis of yoga is this telepathy and they say it occurs when there is an understanding or a perception of the oneness between beings or a being and an object and this allows it to occur. So I think since we were good homies and trippy for a while we had it occur. Also we were on a half tab and some mdma (I do not recommend this you should be very careful and research before doing this because it can be very bad to mix for one reason is mdma is shorter and has a rough comedown that is enhanced then by the lsd) and so the mdma produces intense feelings of love and connection and that was enhanced by the tab. But yeah why be selfish or manipulative or unkind etc when you can be empathetic and loving, especially when you see the oneness between you and others/God (us being little g gods as even the Bible references)? Yeah I don’t really care if anyone believes me but that’s my experience and I just felt like sharing. (Also I know it wasn’t coincidence because I didn’t even think of a word that was a real word it was a stage name that had been made up he had never heard before and then I showed him it in my phone afterwards because he didn’t even completely believe me when I started trippin out that he actually read my mind lmao) So yeah peace and may the force be with u brothas ✌🏻☯️ stay happy stay weird 🙏🏻😵💫 (also no one should do any drug without looking into it first especially about how to do it safely like set and setting and dosage and if it has any interactions with any medications or supplements or shit you’re taking, should be more talked about in the psych community to normalize this and make it better to stay happy stay weird but yeah that’s just a heads up)
my mom tried lsd once and shrooms once when she was young. I asked her about it really intrigued but she said all she remembers is that lsd made her really paranoid when she walked alone on it and shrooms made her see some funny colors as she sat in bed and looked at the walls. I was kinda shook that that was all there was to it for her. For me, my first shroom trip showed me shit i already knew (the oneness of everything mostly) but i FELT it so deeply for the first time and it rly shifted my self perception. I love my mom so much but I think the difference between us is that she doesn't really self reflect, or reflect much at all about life other than holding onto her christianity. I think it is a beautiful way of being and living in the present, but for me I always think about the nature of the universe and the spiritual nature of everything. so i think psychedelics "not working" doesn't indicate stupidity necessarily, but maybe a lack of reflection in everyday life, or a lack of curiosity for knowing these "bigger truths" that spiritual people are searching for. edit: also she's from costa rica so i wonder how it would have been different had she been shown shrooms by someone like a shaman... i wonder if maybe catholicism is holding people back from that whole other side of culture there
Right. It’s not that your mom is stupid. It is not about intelligence. It is about awareness. In my opinion, people are at various levels of spiritual development, and this determines how we react to psychedelics; when we take psychedelics, we get a glimpse into a higher stage of spiritual development based on where we currently are. Have you heard of Spiral Dynamics? I think it is fascinating. Spiral Dynamics is a model of psychological, spiritual, and social development that is quite deep when you look into it, yet easy to understand. Your mom clearly fits in Stage Blue.
@@julienjean6711 no i hadn't heard of spiral dynamics but I just looked into it and it's very interesting, thanks for bringing that up and yeah i agree my mom is in the blue category
It has nothing to do with the intelligence of a person. There are different stages of development of a soul. And only the older souls are spiritually developed enough, to be available for mystical experiences on psychedelics.
I always thought if everyone took psychedelics the world would be better. BUT i realised i was alone with that feeling, other friends take them for the "fun".
I can’t even take psychedelics and party i’m already able to read and sense people’s energy naturally without drugs i always wonder why. But taking psychedelics with many people around is like seeing everyones demons and true intentions for me. I prefer to take them alone or with my best friend. But he doesn’t get a spiritual experience on them though.
Ive seen from tripping with friends that when I would talk about the spiritual side of psychedelics they would quickly change the subject as if their scared but I wasn't
Recently I tripped with someone who I’ve had a weird relationship with and I started to get a weird vibe off them bc they are the “party tripper” they always say I’m insane bc of how many psychedelics I take and how I view them. Why I tripped with them is they have things bothering them that have been covered up while growing up (which made them become very “evil” recently *best way I’d describe it) they agreed to start learning about how it’s helped others and how they can change their view on what it’s better for. The way I was raised and what I’ve lived always taught me ❤️🍄 more about the healing aspects. I’ve been very depressed growing up but also super happy. It’s exhausting. I had psychotic depression and bipolar disorder bc childhood and when I started micro dosing I became more expressive and stopped self harming as much. I do believe mushrooms have a huge part in making me seek self love and all together love. While tripping they’d make rude comments to me like “I hate you, no one will ever love you… so on” I just listened. I said they are cared for and they got mad and basically tried to cancel me out and be in their own realm still making rude comments to me though. I tried my best to relax. After tripping they said I was being negative and think I’m better and canceled THEM out. It was kinda crazy to think about and still has me questioning why they put everything on me. Yet I felt fully aware and hope they start finding healing and don’t see me as some insane maniac out to get them 🙃❤️
Chatted with Terrance for a couple of hours back in 93-4 in London before a speech at megatropolis. Fucking hilarious! Miss him from world but he left a big trippy footprint, cheers !
Dakota you're on point with this one buddy I feel like everything you just said it's almost exactly how I've been feeling which is really crazy but cool. I've been psilocybin cubensis penis envy mushroom and man let me tell you it has changed me completely as a person
For me it always becomes an extremely reflective experience, and I use it to appreciate art or music in ways that my normal brain literally cant fathom due to the blending of senses. Shit worked as a catalyst to save myself from a 10 year depression, been a different (better, healthier, happier) person for the 2 or 3 years since that trip. Boils down to whether a person is comfortable accepting the expansion that the substances offer, or if they fight it and refuse to let go of their contracted experience
I agree with Terrance McKenna... It's not going to do for everyone what it did for us. It changed us into better versions of ourselves, we feel it immediately. I am so grateful for having this gift , to tap in easily is not something everyone has. It's amazing 🤗
that’s so crazy to think about. i never had actually been able to pinpoint it, but you are completely right. some people are just not open to the idea of letting their real consciousness take over during a trip. my cousin and i have 2 completely different views on lsd. For me, acid changed my life. for her on the other hand, she doesn’t even enjoy the trip. she experiences the peak and her trip ends there. for me, the real trip doesn’t begin until the comedown. when i’m finally ready to let my mind open up and let the thoughts flow in. i don’t even believe i’ve ever had a bad trip. i think that some people, my cousin for example, consider a bad trip when you begin to realize the issues the lsd highlights when you trip. acid for me, is a way to dissect my life and really pinpoint the things i need to change in order to grow. even if i end up crying for hours, i would never call it a bad trip. people just need to open up and be ready to receive the truth. lsd is a way to really just expand your consciousness
I'm actually terrified of mushrooms now. My experiences have become increasingly "religious". My last experience had me wanting to "put the toothpaste back in the tube" and go home in surrender, and I was already at home. I don't know, a blessing, and extremely reflective, but yikes is an understatement. Whenever it happens I wonder "how could I forget what this can become, what door I am opening". And I think I should go home and bury any mushrooms I have left... I do not come from a religious upbringing by the way... But these experiences have me freaked out and running to the Bible, of all things. I don't know what to make of it all, super conflicted, especially lately. Mushrooms are no joke, and if they are a joke, I'm too scared to laugh. My earlier experiences were extremely beneficial, and I feel they have all been beneficial, but I ultimately DO NOT KNOW
Also, I think of them as a powerful REMINDER. Spiritual "trojan horse" though... Like whatever I thought I was embarking on, turned instead into a judgement/examination from god. Also someone used the analogy of "tight-rope-walking" and "high-weirdness". Can certainly feel like inner guidance is heightened, and you can learn/be with more grace. Please let me know if anyone relates to any of this or if I have just fallen to fear and gone BATSHIT
@JungleWyzard Thank you my friend for chiming in as well :-) I very much agree with you right now! My earliest experiences had me praising and wanting everyone to try, so I can understand people's fervor, but it has become so much more complicated since then, and perhaps always was. I still don't know what we are dealing with, and each individual approaching at their own will and pace is crucial. I'm also remember a quote I think from Terence Mckenna (he may have been quoting someone esle) like "when you get the message, hang up the phone". And I have thought about that with mushrooms, one message I often got early on is "you have everything you need". Also makes me think about how the mysteries at Eleusis were only allowed to be attended by a person ONCE in their life, perhaps for well-meaning reasons... I cannot imagine how these things could ever be commercialized.
@JungleWyzard Thanks for asking ! 🧡 I do feel better in many ways. I won't necessarily try to hold a literal conclusion about the trip, but I won't discount it either. It did precipitate me finally addressing some things that had really been bothering me, and reaching out to someone I had been worried about, addressing my fear of responsibility, and shame. Also it immediately broke an addictive cycle that had been ramping up, of using a medicinal plant🌷, supposedly from an international organic crop, but not from my own garden, which is significant to me for sure but I disregarded my own rules and experience. So as with most, if not all, trips I came through with something good. Sometimes I just come through with an extremely awoken sense of appreciation for just feeling "baseline" again. And then sometimes I don't know how much of the beneficial aspect of the experience is "intentionally" provided by the mushroom, or born out of our survival and coping through the strange encounter/unfoldment. The dosage was, I thought, not more than another dosage I had a week or two earlier. Before these 2 recent times, probably no "trip" since a year earlier at least. 1st of these last two was fresh cubensis, maybe equal to 1.8 grams dried, not nearly so intense as the next trip, which was maybe 1.6g (but fresh so 16g or however that works out) and extra sprinkled dry powdered cubensis from another batch. didn't think i added too much dried powder, but maybe! Then also squeezed a lime from the garden and mushed it all in a mortar/pestle, drank and ate.
The first time I did LSD I looked up at the stars and each star was blinking different colors. I said “look there’s a red one, theres a yellow one” and my buddy laughed for some reason when i said “ yellow one” it stuck with him. Long story short after many trips and sharing deep thought and conversation and reflecting at my first experience, being mesmerized by the visuals and thinking about how different my first trip was to how my trips have been ever sense. My first trip I was mesmerized by the “pretty lights and colors” ever sense then we’ve called somebody who does psychedelics to just enjoy the high and see shit and feel good “yellow ones”. We haven’t really made a name for people like us who like to actually experience the mental aspect and have deep philosophical thought, conversations and realizations(ig it’d be psychonaut?). I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a “yellow one” I’m happy those people enjoy themselves. I just couldn’t imagine taking a psychedelic and not pondering my existence. Ever sense I started doing LSD specifically i think it definitely has brought me closer to myself and helped me understand spiritually because before I didn’t even understand the word. To me it seems like a word that can’t be defined, it needs to be felt.
I thought All the videos and articles and conversations with other “trippers” I’ve had were gonna prepare me for what I experienced, WRONG lol I thought I was prepared but there was a lot I was holding in that I had not known was there, and that shit hits you all at once. Had a new found respect for psychedelics since then
I've always been attracted to psychedelics, but never found a proper setting with trusted people to have this experience with, where I live (Sardinia, Italy). I'm looking forward to the occasion!
The fear! Don't forget the fear. A lot of people can't allow themselves to relinquish control and will fight the trip, so to speak. This can lead to a bad trip or just not breaking through and having to deal with a several hour blag, as opposed to several hours of revelation etc.
Yes don't forget this. Having never taken a heroic dose or even knowing what they were, I took 7 grams with 2 friends. I wasn't ready, and was scared I wouldn't come back. I would fight for a long time, give in a little, then fight some more. After that long 8 hours of not so fun stuff, I can't wait to do it again when I'm ready. I want to let go, and not fight. There was another level I just couldn't go to, I really thought I wouldn't come back.
I'm stupid but dmt revealed a lot. I've completely changed. Psychedelics changed my life. It woke me up to my true self. I went vegan and practice yoga/chanting/ nofap/ I listen to you talking like me everyday. I feel like it was divinely planned or something. Because I've tried to recreate that experience for others and nothing happened. They weren't necessarily stupid. It's frustrating because I see how psychedelics could change the world. I see US all as one family. I now have a better understanding of God religion especially Hinduism. I'm now a truth seeker. I smoke DMT like a few times a year and it blows my mind every time. I love you all
italian-from-italy long-time follower here: Life is full of places and ways where we can feel The Whole Within. Of course psychedelics are great, but even swimming naked at dawn surrounded by dolphins could be a highlight in your life. Would you tell people who cant swim that they are missing out something they SHOULDNT miss out? Plus, everybody has a different goal in life and a different way of expressing intelligence and sensitivity; you might be fitting with the psychedelics world but for some other people life is fulfilled once they climb up the Everest or when they enjoy farm life feeding and cuddling ducks and donkeys or when they sit 8 hours straight in an office in front of a computer doing what their fat boss full of dandruff told them to do. At the end of the day, people should offer each other comprehension and kindness, regardless of how they achieved this condition. Some do with psychedelics (or at least they say so) others do by studying marketing and politics (or at least they say so). The point about snubbing the choice of consuming psych. while dancing in a crowded festival is interesting: I myself (like you) enjoy more an isolated and calm setting for my trips, but again that's just my perspective of a man that always enjoyed solitude and circumscribed dialogues more than oceanic crowds and infinite noise; but i also love clubbing and I cant say I wanted to kill myself when I took certain substances while dancing with my friends in my two Berlin-Germany decades. It's not always about seeing The Big Snake and The Supreme Light and talking with your dead granma. You seem to be here a bit too focused on your own experience, which is fascinating (again, long time follower) but not the absolute truth. Needless to say, one of the biggest revelations of psychedelics should be that life is perfect in its own self-evident existence and immutable variety. I would also point out that it's kind of annoying (from a wannabe rationalist perspective I might want to represent) to constantly hear you saying IDONTKNOW/IDONTKNOWWHATIAMTRYINGTOSAY: you keep repeating it and you kind of come off (here) as shallow. The thesis you want to set out with this video is big and heavy and you should elaborate it more logically without hiding behind IDONTKNOW/IDONTKNOWWHATIAMTRYINGTOSAY, otherwise it kinda looks like you just want to play around with being cool and alternative without having the right thick skin for it. I like you because you are a young and naive pup with a sense of humor (prolly the same sense of humor that brings you say always IDONTKNOW/IDONTKNOWWHATIAMTRYNNASAY, which is also a partial expression of your humility) and thats why I really want to tell you to be careful with certain coercive thoughts (that sound like nazi-guru) about what other people should do to be GREAT, because they are going to hurt YOU big time, one day (yes, you, not the other people, but YOU). In short, I would focus on that "IDONTKNOW"; not as a filler world that reveals the chaos in your head, but as the premise of your own clear philosophy, because I really believe that, deep down, you know you dont know. You know it's all BEAUTIFUL and OK, you know there is nothing to "KNOW" but everything IS. peace out man love from italy
i’ve hinted towards the exact same idea in a couple of my videos!! talking about some of my dmt experiences when i was smoking it with other people and all they talked about was “the colors” and “wow i’m so fucked up.” i decided it’s almost like their mind doesn’t have the capacity to have the full experience. it’s honestly sad
That's the truth...I was spiritually led to mushrooms for enlightenment. I take them in my own space. I have gained so much more than I expected. I'm sober almost 3 years this Thanksgiving from alcohol. I'm happier and now working on quitting tobacco. I am grateful for all that mother earth provides. I always set an intention always seeking. Mushluv
I've been participating in ayahuasca ceremonies for the past 3 years (once a month) and I absolutely CANNOT imagine doing it on a place crowed and full of strange people, it just blows my mind, you're extremely vulnerable and sensitive to everything around you, 80% of the time I need to be laid down sometimes I can't even move, I feel EXTREMELY cold even with 3 blanket on top of me, I cry a whole lot, I throw up A LOT (not only me) the slightest wrong thought or even the wrong music can trigger some buried memory and throw you on a "bad trip like" sensation that feels like L.I.T.E.R.A.L hell. So yeah, I really don't understand how people can feel safe making themselves absolutely vulnerable (both mentally, physically and spiritually) in a place full of crazy/high/unknown people
I think it depends on the dose you take and how they effect you. I've tripped probably like 35-40 times or so and other than 2 of my trips they were pretty much all just a good time and not anything "awakening". I always stuck to lower doses though, never done more than 200ug of lsd. It wasn't until I tried san pedro when I had a spiritual or life changing experience. The last time I tripped was almost 2 years ago I did a massive dose of 2c-b and it changed my life. Made me realize a lot of stuff. I think 2c-b is a perfect example of how psychedelics can just be used as a recreational experience. Unless you take a high dose the headspace is almost non-existant. I could go to work on 2c-b if I really wanted to. MDMA has always been extremely therapeutic for me though. Every time I've taken it it makes me realize how wonderful the world can be and I just appreciate my life a lot more in general.
@@triple_gem_shining I think drugs just effect people differently. Most people don't find mdma therapeutic or have realizations on it and instead just abuse it often to party. I usually just listen to music or go camping when I trip, spend some time with nature. Many people including myself have had intense psychedelic experiences with realizations from just cannabis (which also has a spiritual/religious background) but I'm not going to go around and act like people who smoke weed for fun and don't have realizations on it are not bright or too weak to understand. It just comes across as pretentious imo.
3 QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE THE JOURNEY: 1.Who am I with 2.What is my mental state like at this moment 3. Where are you going? If any of those question are negative in nature DO NOT PARTAKE.
Taking psychedelics at a music festival really opens you up to seeing human behaviour in a new light. It’s interesting to see, it can be amusing, frightening, enlightening, and bat shit crazy fun, But to each their own.
you put this perfectly into words. it feels almost like i have an alien perspective because i prefer for it to be more profound not a "whoo lets get messed up" experience. i really dig the analysis my dude, love to see it.
I’ve done a fair amount of psychedelics, not as much as you or some other people I know have taken, but I learned a lot on these compounds. I eventually decided to stop though because I felt like it was changing how I thought to such a degree that I felt like I wouldn’t be able to function in society with how it was allowing me to think. I was beginning to overthink and look for hidden meaning in EVERYTHING and it was starting to drive me crazy. Anyone else?
I am so glad people like you, with similar experiences exist on the internet. When I tell people, who take psychedelics with the intention to party, that psychedelics are the most important thing that happened to me and opened my mind to the spiritual world, they look at me like there's something wrong with me.
Funny you say that because in my very first mushroom experience I was told I shouldn't focus or feed my own amazement with colors and the "magic" side, I was specifically told that I am not one of those, I must go deeper than that, I understood the message and took it as a must, in fact in my 2 follow up experiences (all around 6 months apart from each other) I had very little fractals, neon, etc, type of visuals. To this date I can't tell for sure if It was my own intuition telling me but it felt like I received the message telepathically. Either way, I am glad this happened right from the get go.
I think about this all the time man! I would never want to take psychedelics in a party atmosphere. My favorite way to do it is ritualistically deep in the forest 🌳 with intention and openness. I love your Terrance McKenna impression 😂😂😂 I want to share a story with you guys that’s mind blowing. I took 2 grams of mushrooms and went out into the forest on a journey with deep intention and readiness to learn. Meanwhile 3 of my friends took 4 grams of the same batch of mushrooms and they stayed inside their house together. I had an extremely deep profound experience. I had deep visions and out of body perceptions and felt connected to the whole of the universe. I returned to their house with such a refreshed deep outlook on the world and felt one with the whole of all we are, and I asked them how their experience was expecting them to have twice as powerful of an experience that I did and I found them smoking on the couch watching TV and they told me they didn’t feel the mushrooms at all like zero percent! 🤯… i guess I think the “universe” gives you the experience you need at the time your meant to experience it and I believe the universe reveals its secrets to those who have the courage to face it, and to those who are pure of heart- pure of intention. But there’s so many variables. But I totally agree with you Dakota this constantly blows my mind. I’ve never had a trip even a microdose experience that hasn’t been spiritually profound for me and then I see tons of people use it as if it were just a party drug or something to have fun merely seeing colors
I feel "stupid" could be replaced by "closed minded" because stupidity is a lack of knowledge but close mindedness is an unwillingness to open up to new ideas witch I find far more disturbing!
I had a really hard time accepting this with people for a long time. I realized that the more I tryed to make them see lesser I saw for myself, it drained me. nowdays I just hope they can get an AHA and join in on the mystery. If not I can still share a moment of beauty in silence with them or use metafors thats easier for their minds to touch so I can keep my own mind flowing. AND if im lucky sometimes (without me trying) they can open up and see the whole picture of what im saying, and it is beautiful when they do....
Some love music to go into trance and some love music to dance on the floor. Some prefer psychedelic to learn and some do it for fun & comes out confused.
Huxley called this phenomenon a "gratuitous grace". He said, "a gratuitous grace, that which is neither necessary nor sufficient for salvation, but which, if properly used, can be enormously helpful to those who have received it."
Yea bro i'm not eating a bunch of shrooms around streangers, that's to many unfamiliar energies for me in that state. more of a spiritual screment than a party favour, body and mind both gotta feel good and intuition tells me if it's cool. I have a decent amount of experience with acid and shrooms and totally respect them. if you don't many of you all know what happens! peace, Love, and safe journeys you all!!! I'm moving to a farm to start the small communities thing. Getting ready to plant some gardens., get back to nature! 6 years ago I was in Detroit, on the westside being an apartment dweller. I have completely flipped my life and found my happiness! (Thank you to the shrooms for connecting me with whom ever it is guiding me from those realms, I feel you all know without the shrooms!)
I still remember my first shroom trip. It felt like trees were breathing, non living things started moving, could see trippy visuals and what not !!! However, I also had kinda bad phase in the trip.
I NEED MORE OF YOUR TERRANCE IMPERSONATION!!! HAHAH SO ACCURATE :) And yes, psychedelics have changed my life entirely as well! Pursuing my DNP to hopefully provide assisted therapy one day!
100% agree. a lot of people dont give these compounds the respect they deserve. but i think in due time, these compounds will eventually demand that respect and if not given, they will destroy everything you think you know about yourself and your delusional reality that you live in leaving you in shambles. the logos is gentle with the people that honor it, but is merciless and brutal to the one who refuse to set aside their selfish desires.
Music festivals are a ceremony, and when everyone indulges in psychedelics the whole place seems to raise in vibration and is in its own bubble of collective consciousness and magic and impossible things happen. I've also taken psychedelics alone in a dark setting countless times. But I've also taken them at music festivals and there's nothing wrong with it. Being with your friends surrounded by open and accepting people riding the crescendo of psychedelia, and yes blasting off during the peak of the evening. There is no lack of insight for me and many others I know I assure you, some of my deepest conversations and insights have been post star power back at camp. What is life but experience? The introspection still always hits me hard. For you to say someone who takes the at festivals is missing the point seems holier than thou, but I still understand why some people could see it that way. Yes there are drunkards there, yes there are people getting fucked up just to get fucked up, but if you surround yourself with the right people it is a ceremony and the entities usually love it and are ecstatic when I blast off in that setting too. It's like following the thread of your highest excitement and meeting them there. I don't think it's disrespecting the experience at all. You must have had a shitty festival experience?
I've had a few experiences. One of the dmt experiences definitely remind me of something you said. I was in a black room, both literally and where ever my mind was. Then there was this box below me and it was all this bad stuff, and I was trying to keep the box closed, but at some point I realized it was overpowering me and I couldn't. It was scary at first but at some point I just let it open and I realized nothing was bad at all. It's so weird seeing/feeling all this happen. But so relieving. A bad trip is only bad if you keep resisting what it's trying to show you.
I realy like doing psychedelics with freinds because its just so much more fun then doing it alone. But i also realized that i only get thes deeper and meaningful thoughts when i seperate from the group for a while.
Well said. Personally, I feel like I need to try microdosing mushrooms at some point because I have ptsd and anxiety from near death experiences I've had as well as other trauma and old baggage I need to let go of. Hopefully it will do the trick
The only psychedelic I have used is Marijuana. I have tried it several times, but I don't seem to feel anything. I feel the same. I always ask people, "What are you supposed to be feeling??" Do you have any insight to this?
Being a colourful being helps.. I did a lot of skateboarding while tripping but I also went on many hikes in beautiful nature whilst doing so. I remember once listening to Bad Brains all night and nothing else with a few friends. I can be a lovely experience♥️
I understand you. but intention is NOT the key. we were buying mushrooms and lsa seeds and the describtion was about seeing colours. this was what we were looking for. then we took 4 seeds each, walked to the market-fest. then it already kicked in like too much mdma, so we went home again. what happened next was 6 hours of pure awakening, telepathy and all that stuff! we WOKE UP that day! 2 weeks later we tested the mushrooms, open for new drug effects. was almost kind of dissapointing to see that it almost had the same effect but honestly it was absolutely mindblowing again anyways, a psychedelic experience. each trip gave us dozens of philosophical sentences that we could make out of our experiences. we learned a LOT. after like 20 trips or so the philosophical sentences per trip got less and less. in those days i also was "blaming" people who use something godlike like that at partys and stuff. nowadays i feel like: if you CAN party on that stuff, then you DESERVE to do so! and i know that thought that maybe it doesnt work on the "stupid", it also kind of makes sence. BUT sometimes i think it ONLY works on the "stupid" because now that i have learned a lot of it, i can use it now as party-drug. so maybe the others already were wise enough and i first had to learn stuff about life.. ..but still i feel like it might be true that it needs a smart mind to make out messages of the shown pictures so to say..
You are correct. In the movies and books and shit, the characters often talk about how they feel when they look at the stars or the moon or the sun and whatever. The writers who wrote that probably experienced it and not just copy pasted something. These are spiritual experiences but peeps dont know what to call them and they leave them. Good thing is that nature doesn't fail to get to us no matter how modern or advanced we get.
I agree that only taking psychedelics at festivals is wrong but you can do both & that isn't wrong. People who have already done a lot of self reflection and solo trips are usually far more comfortable having those experiences in crowds because they've already been shown what you need to see so it enhances the festival experience so much! Psychedelic festivals are the only places you can share a psychedelic journey with a massive crowd. There's nothing like that feeling of tapping into your primal self & being connected so deeply with your neighbour
Love your channel man. It be awesome to see you 2 in a podcast ❤🤲
@@LaylaBlaire Oh yes!! Pretty please? With a cherry on top! 🍒
THIS!!! I wanted to write something similar but honestly you said it all. I love taking psychedelics both alone and at festivals and rituals. It's a different experience. When you have some experience with psychedelics and you see lots of stuff and kind of get the hang of it, you become able to also do fun stuff while tripping. I'd never take mushrooms at a festival though, for me shrooms make music and external stimulation unbearable. Acid is different. It adapts to my environment and gives me a completely different experience if I'm alone and if I'm with others. I took Ayahuasca as well in a ritual setting, while it wasn't at a party it *was* with "a bunch os strangers", but honestly I just loved everyone and felt very safe being around people even though I was going through my own personal hells and heavens.
Yes! This! I completely agree and would also like to add that festivals for some people act as a type of ritual and there’s a lot of similarities between rituals and festivals. Music, dancing, community. Festivals are just a group coming together for a single purpose, to enjoy music.
Though I can understand where Dakota is coming from and I agree there are a LOT of people taking these things blindly not doing the inner work, and I think it only hurts them in the end, these are usually the people who do get burnt out as he described and wind up never really understanding any of what they experienced.
But most festivals I’ve seen and been to try and do a lot to help educate people about self work and have practices even during the festival like meditation and yoga and sound baths ect.
Its all about intention. If you have bad intentions with taking these drugs and take them irresponsibly (ie mixing substances, taking too much, ect) then bad things are bound to happen.
There’s nothing wrong with only taking them at festivals😂I know friends that can only take psychs at a festival because on the connected energy throughout the festival.
its so true 😂 the first time i got shrooms from my plug i asked him about how it felt and stuff and he was saying oh you just feel happy and see colors and shit, just take them and go watch a movie youll like it. cut to me 2 hours later laying out in the yard sobbing with joy because i imagined my veins were just rivers and all my cells were dressed as little caveman living around my veins
that sounds sooo beautiful
Lmfaoooo
Your plug’s description of the experience is so bland that it makes me wonder whether or not he’s ever tried mushrooms.
Thats deep bro word ✌
Visually, that sounds cool.
Maybe your "stupid" friend is already in a perpetual state of ironic enlightenment, that psychedelics don't work on him in the way they do on the, actually, dumb people like ourselves. It sounds like he's just living, without questioning, and that may very well be the answer.
that is the problem living, without questioning anything is to live in ignorance questioning your self internal about what your eyes see is how Awareness starts
don't buy these psychedelics from instagram
I got scammed hard once..

@@Piccolo_Sun I think generally he meant living without putting a barrier on yourself by overthinking things into infinity. Maybe he questions only what needs to be questioned to continue his peaceful flow of life.
Psychedelics are a spiritual technology born out of necessity in this limited reality as a way to assist humanity with ascension
correct
I think that this is kind of a human-centric type of view though. First and foremost lifeforms are poisonous to defend themselves against those which would eat them. The purpose of making you hallucinate is first off to slow you down so that a predator can eat you. Now, we've all felt as though the boomers communicate using our body/minds as a vessel, but technically you are holding them hostage as you digest their bodies, lol. It's very interesting to think that the toxins were created by a conscious, ancient lifeform for the purpose of communicating with humans, but again, that's a bit egocentric on the human end.
"Ascension" itself is rather a floating signifier. Is the depth of extended consciousness seen on psychedelics not just an extension of limited reality? Ultimately we are still largely limited by our conception of shapes/patterns/language/etc. I'm not sure that seeing what is "beyond the curtain" is inherently "ascension" anyways, so much as just being another compartment within compartments.
Things tend to not just be 1 way, but this AND that. Empathy is a beautiful thing, but it is also a weakness. As I said, humans communicate and project from their subconscious while on psychedelics, but they are also made prey. Being prey is necessary to seeing ego destruction, but one must have ego in approaching the state of being prey if seeking to "ascend", lol. So, what is it really that we are looking for here?
Wrong what ever you drug addicts sleep at night
@Bryson Martinez dog shit scammers. nobody is going to fall for your shit.
@@deificmasque6473 That's just a human brain creating a theory, since we arn't mushrooms you can't actually know if that's the case. Mushrooms have varied effects in different dosages as well. In lower dosages it can actually be the exact opposite of what you said and be a performance enhancer.
i really thought i was going insane for a while. But I think people who use psychedelics in a ritualistic way are just naturally spiritually articulate and are acutely aware of the potential of these experiences
The more I learned about other religions and philosophies and i realized it was changing the nature and understanding of my trips. Also playing music became different the more I learned and practiced other instruments. So I would say psychedelics are rooted in you're own awareness and knowledge of the world. This is why the mystery religions always support learning of the arts and nature. They say the more you understand the world the more you understand God. People who are too scared to learn other cultures religion and practices will never experience what they have to offer so their playground is as small as what they are aware of.
Very much agree with you!

The madman drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims.

Its really important what you expect/want/need, ive had psychedelics in Both party settings and spiritual settings.
I started my spiritual journey quite a while before taking psychedelics, I started meditating everyday, started questioning everything, became very interested in the unknown of the universe, became motivated to be the change in the world and to be as selfless as possible everyday, spent a lot of time in nature, went vegan, realized time is an illusion, I experienced what it was like to be fully present in the moment for the first time, and About 5,6 months later after starting this journey of “awakening” I took lsd for first time and it was the most intense profound “spiritual” experience that “i” didn’t go through. “I” Realized fear is an illusion, “I”felt complete unconditional love for myself and for the universe that was beyond words, “I” experienced ego death, it was incredible! I think what it mostly is maybe is that some people just aren’t ready to experience some of these things like ego death, and some are never meant to. I think people that have never become very interested in the unknown of the universe, consciousness, that have never started meditating before, never fully disciplined themselves to try to be the change in the world and to be as selfless as possible, to let go of conditioning from they’re parents, school, tv, internet, government, religion, people that have never really questioned reality, themselves, everything, they most likely aren’t gonna get many profound realizations or a very eye opening crazy “spiritual experience” from taking psychedelics because they aren’t ready. “They aren’t ready to step into the fire of self discovery and burn what is not them.” “They are not ready to discover a truth that will rob them of they’re deepest held ideas, beliefs, hopes, and dreams. A truth that will turn they’re view of self, reality, and life upside down.” Also people that don’t know much about psychs other than oh yeah it’s supposed to be trippy and you see things and they don’t know anything about it really, it’s history, or it’s potential for spiritual exploration, they most likely aren’t gonna experience anything crazy especially if they’re at a party or just with a bunch of people doing whatever. I wish everyone could experience some of things “I” have while on and off psychedelics!
I'm so grateful that you are bringing this awareness. I'm showing my whole tribe!! Thank you❤️🙌🏻
Psychedelics work with the content you give them, the content you are. Individually and collectively.

@@dakotawint as with everything, it's a reflection of us.
When people hate social media and blame it for ruining our lives, what is lost in all of it, is that it's all us. It's a look into ourselves that we hate. Same with psychedelics. Its a trip into oneself on different layers. Conscious, subconscious and collective. There's no separation, it's all yours, all one either way. :) 'Bad' trips often arise when one encounters the shadow, ones subconscious. If shadow has layed dormant up until that moment, that first encounter can be horrific and traumatic, but again, it's all you. All us. All one. As above, so below.
Appreciate your content Dakota. Perhaps one day our paths will cross.
Your really are doing a lot more than you realize by spreading this knowledge,Your effect on society and this world is the brightest light I've witnessed and i have nothing but love and support for you,i feel like your journey has mirrored mine (somewhat)over the years of following you,I pray for nothing but greatness on your enlightened path.
the last time i did mush it was completely an interior experience, i laid down and dont think i got up or opened my eyes once, the depth of the inner world was far more interesting, peeling back veil after veil, chamber after chamber, I really would not think of using it in any other way now, and i can guage someone's maturity in these things by how they respond to this simple anecdote.
Dropping acid at a good psytrance festival is top notch. Dancing among gods and deities with 12-D sound. Life can be a party, why be restrictive if one seems to benefit?
I feel like psychedelics opened up paths for healing through dancing in me that i can now access sober.
I’m sure it’s fun and crazy!!
@@dakotawint I know what you are talking about, but I would say that our ancestors in all cultures used psychedelics to dance themselves into trance, I would say this is deeply rooted in our bias. We are made out of water and this water gets harmonized by music and rhythm. Even if maybe a lot of people who use psychedelics at festivals are not diving down deep into themselves and are not fully aware of the potential, they are following an old subtile longing deep in their hearts to get connected to the beat. The first thing humans feel is the heartbeat of their mother - and their own.
A good friend of mine is a knucklehead, he did lots of acid with me but he would get no ego dissolution or euphoria, he just does it for the visuals and whenever he notices how deep I am into the experience, he just says he is bored.
We had some euphoric moments together but he doesn't feel the spiritual part. Very weird, I stopped tripping with him because it kinda makes it hard to get something out of it when he is around.
When I trip alone on shrooms and dance or whatever I get much more out of it and its alot more blissful by myself. With him it has often been stressful, he is on an ego trip while my ego is quite fragile.
It took me along time and alot of uncomfortable weird trips to realize that I need to trip by myself. It helps me open up completely, when people are around it could be a head fk......
by myself... The plants on my garden and the wildlife around me ... Perfect that's how I hope everyone does it.. you learn so much when you let these beautiful substance work.
I agree with you! My first mushroom trip was great because of the set and setting. My partner and i invited friends who we previously have contemplated and gone in depth in thought about this crazy human experience. I think thats what made it so special, since under the influence of the medicine we felt total freedom and no judgment to speak what she was communicating to us. I remember that the word that most came up in the conversation was acceptance.
The mushroom communicated to us to accept fully this experience, accept our sick stomachs, our nauseas, the bliss after the comeup, the clarity of the medicine and the harsh truths. thats what i got of the experience, that to transcend in life the most important thing is to accept the reality of it all, the reality of us as individual's and as a collective just as it is.
Mushrooms showed me that judgement in any form is wrong due to the ultimate name- and conceptlessness of the universe. That being said you're absolutely right.
I feel like I know this on an intellectual level but haven't learned it on a deeper level. Guess I'm on my way at least lol. How much easier life would be to realize it's all bullshit at the end of the day. Opinions that is.
Even fat people? I feel like we should be able to judge fat people..

Dakota I appreciate your message. However, emphasizing the importance of set and setting should be shared every time we preach the importance of these medicines. For example, making sure the body is ready to receive the compound via water fasting, juice fasting, prayer, cleaning the home, getting rid of old junk, intention setting, etc. I think we all need to level up our thinking around set and setting and meet the medicine half way. A lot of people are hurting and probably best for them to evaluate their circumstances first before jumping head first into medicine land. Just my thoughts on this…
We need more comments like yours. I like to plan and set myself up for success. I'd rather not clean on my trip and enjoy it the best I can. Most people don't talk about this and I think it's why there are so many bad trip stories or cleaning stories
Here's what it gave to me, release judgement of myself and others. Let others fail so they can learn. Grace is a gift, accept it and give it to others.
Maybe it requires recognizing the subtle psychedelic experiences or trips we‘re presented with on a day to day as we go about our lives, so that we can recognize the knock on the door when experience is enhanced by plant magic
When I was a teenager taking lsd, it was never implied by any of my peers that there was anything spiritual about it. We took it to freak out over the wild effects and so forth and lol at eachother tripping out. It wasn't until I started becoming interested in spiritual topics that I began to characterize my trips as having a spiritual component.
Thats funny because I had the exact opposite experience. Took them for years at low doses just as drugs until I pushed it too far and then boom. I was talking to God, and it wasn't subtle, its unmistakable when it happens. When you're tripping to a point where you cannot move like on a heroic dose I think its impossible to not delve into the depths of your mind as there is nothing else to stimulate you but your own conciousness
Thank you dakota! I had a similar feeling with people I called friends at that moment of time. At first I thought I was the only one who lost it, but after some time it all got sorted out, and now some of those people are even experiencing the same things I was feeling some time ago, happy about that))
I disagree man... dimension walking over the dancefloor totally tripped out is a mystical experience in itself too. Its not a philosophical sort of experience contemplating existence but man its mystical for sure too... not doing it you deny yourself tons of pleasure my friend ;)
At the same time I definitely agree with you that its a sort of sacred tool to discover yourself and it definitely has had a very very profound effect on me enhancing my psychological wellbeing tremendously :)
Its also a super tool to foster my creativity and enhancing my artistic skills :D
Had this same thought a while ago. Psychedelic’s extent of giving is limited to what your intentions are, and then some. It will take what you have in mind right before you take it and run with it. They are sort of like a people pleaser, but simultaneously not in a way where they can show you how you have mistreated them. My only bad trip was at a party, where as all my other trips were in a safe place with people I trust. So be careful what you wish for, why you wish for it and especially where you are mentally and physically when you take your trip. Much love
It also depends on the psychedelics you take. I have BPD and OCD, so something like LSD makes me feel so uncomfortable, but it forces me to understand my biggest weaknesses and what I need to see, not necessarily what I want to. I never do it to party. It's too "cold" of a drug for me without a friend I can depend on, but I have unstable relationships.
I have done mushrooms, low dose, and I feel that they are much better for me, they have a calming effect, which will have me learn to take a step back and appreciate myself. When I'm overtly emotional, I become stupid, so learning to ease the most volatile parts helps me look at the bigger picture.
Analog/digital divide. I think its the greatest synthesized drug ever invented..by far. Till i find something better and change MY MIND
I took some shrooms and sat alone in my closet on the floor with the door closed. I stayed in there for the entire trip which lasted a few hours. I was just following my instincts to do this. I found myself asking questions in my mind and then receiving answers telepathically about all sorts of different things I'd always wondered about. Many of the answers had me laughing out loud because they had such a delightful and insightful sense of humor. I remember it felt like I was receiving revelation after revelation from the cosmos. This was decades ago and I can't recall what was said to me now nor what I was inquiring about, but I remember that it was very profound and I did think about everything I'd learned for many years after that.
I don't know for sure, but I believe that this experience helped me on my journey to becoming a more spiritually aware person. I do recall that I had some questions about males vs females as that was a major theme for me back when I was in my 20s, and I think that it made me somewhat wiser. It helped give me peace of mind, that's for sure.
To me it comes down to a couple things but I've found if you don't atleast think existence itself is weird when you're sober, you won't notice it get weirder when you take psychedelics. I don't think they miss out on the same existential experience, it just doesn't resonate with them in a way they can comprehend. At the end of the day you either know your a 'monkey' in peoples clothing or you don't. That the society we built is merely an ant colony, not some all pervasive truth. It is secondary to it. When all language is metaphor, people miss out on so much nuance by disregarding anything they can't comprehend literally.
P.S Song and dance is actually a HUGE part of the psychedelic experience. I know at least here in Australia aboriginals used to have multi tribe gatherings where they took psychedelics made (basically) trance music and danced around fires. Creating pretty much festivals. I think both the 'party animal' and the 'hippie' archetypes/stereotypes are both born from our original complete ceremonial use of psychedelics. Today it appears fractured among two camps, I subscribe to the introspective one with a disdain for people who use it for a buzz. But I'm sure there is something i could learn about being confident enough to dance freely in front of strangers while tripping balls.
I questioned this myself, I wondered why when it came to myself and others like me, it was profound spiritual experiences and gained gratitude and empathy, and then I know of others that continue doing terrible things to others, and be very superficial and manipulative still. It genuinely confused me, no profound change, and a wasted tab honestly.
I had an experience where my friend read my fuckin mind yo! Haha. I think it’s because I am or had learned at that point the oneness, through these compounds (or at least conceptualized it ha) and so I wasn’t shut off to that and he was a dope friend and was open to that as well at the time, and so it worked. Because I know a lot of people would be afraid of the idea of telepathy because they would not want their nefarious thoughts read. Not saying I only have pure thoughts but I didn’t feel judged for any bad thoughts anyways because if telepathy is real then the oneness is real and then why would you judge? You would understand and love. But later on I leaned that one of the siddhis of yoga is this telepathy and they say it occurs when there is an understanding or a perception of the oneness between beings or a being and an object and this allows it to occur. So I think since we were good homies and trippy for a while we had it occur. Also we were on a half tab and some mdma (I do not recommend this you should be very careful and research before doing this because it can be very bad to mix for one reason is mdma is shorter and has a rough comedown that is enhanced then by the lsd) and so the mdma produces intense feelings of love and connection and that was enhanced by the tab. But yeah why be selfish or manipulative or unkind etc when you can be empathetic and loving, especially when you see the oneness between you and others/God (us being little g gods as even the Bible references)? Yeah I don’t really care if anyone believes me but that’s my experience and I just felt like sharing. (Also I know it wasn’t coincidence because I didn’t even think of a word that was a real word it was a stage name that had been made up he had never heard before and then I showed him it in my phone afterwards because he didn’t even completely believe me when I started trippin out that he actually read my mind lmao) So yeah peace and may the force be with u brothas ✌🏻☯️ stay happy stay weird 🙏🏻😵💫 (also no one should do any drug without looking into it first especially about how to do it safely like set and setting and dosage and if it has any interactions with any medications or supplements or shit you’re taking, should be more talked about in the psych community to normalize this and make it better to stay happy stay weird but yeah that’s just a heads up)
my mom tried lsd once and shrooms once when she was young. I asked her about it really intrigued but she said all she remembers is that lsd made her really paranoid when she walked alone on it and shrooms made her see some funny colors as she sat in bed and looked at the walls. I was kinda shook that that was all there was to it for her. For me, my first shroom trip showed me shit i already knew (the oneness of everything mostly) but i FELT it so deeply for the first time and it rly shifted my self perception. I love my mom so much but I think the difference between us is that she doesn't really self reflect, or reflect much at all about life other than holding onto her christianity. I think it is a beautiful way of being and living in the present, but for me I always think about the nature of the universe and the spiritual nature of everything.
so i think psychedelics "not working" doesn't indicate stupidity necessarily, but maybe a lack of reflection in everyday life, or a lack of curiosity for knowing these "bigger truths" that spiritual people are searching for.
edit: also she's from costa rica so i wonder how it would have been different had she been shown shrooms by someone like a shaman... i wonder if maybe catholicism is holding people back from that whole other side of culture there
Right. It’s not that your mom is stupid. It is not about intelligence. It is about awareness. In my opinion, people are at various levels of spiritual development, and this determines how we react to psychedelics; when we take psychedelics, we get a glimpse into a higher stage of spiritual development based on where we currently are. Have you heard of Spiral Dynamics? I think it is fascinating. Spiral Dynamics is a model of psychological, spiritual, and social development that is quite deep when you look into it, yet easy to understand. Your mom clearly fits in Stage Blue.
@@julienjean6711 no i hadn't heard of spiral dynamics but I just looked into it and it's very interesting, thanks for bringing that up and yeah i agree my mom is in the blue category
@@an6350 I’m glad you found it of interest. Please enjoy your night (or day).
It has nothing to do with the intelligence of a person. There are different stages of development of a soul. And only the older souls are spiritually developed enough, to be available for mystical experiences on psychedelics.
I always thought if everyone took psychedelics the world would be better.
BUT i realised i was alone with that feeling, other friends take them for the "fun".
I can’t even take psychedelics and party i’m already able to read and sense people’s energy naturally without drugs i always wonder why. But taking psychedelics with many people around is like seeing everyones demons and true intentions for me. I prefer to take them alone or with my best friend. But he doesn’t get a spiritual experience on them though.
Salute to everyone what’s up.
👋❤️🇬🇧
Ive seen from tripping with friends that when I would talk about the spiritual side of psychedelics they would quickly change the subject as if their scared but I wasn't
Yes!! It makes me feel crazy! Not only that it made me stop talking to others about it.
That’s why to get its full benefits, you trip alone. Others distract you from your divine purpose and opportunity to connect with god
I've been wondering this for so long! Always disappointed when the outcome for some people are just a party. Also, great Terrance impersonation.
Always love hearing the psychedelic content!
Recently I tripped with someone who I’ve had a weird relationship with and I started to get a weird vibe off them bc they are the “party tripper” they always say I’m insane bc of how many psychedelics I take and how I view them. Why I tripped with them is they have things bothering them that have been covered up while growing up (which made them become very “evil” recently *best way I’d describe it) they agreed to start learning about how it’s helped others and how they can change their view on what it’s better for. The way I was raised and what I’ve lived always taught me ❤️🍄 more about the healing aspects. I’ve been very depressed growing up but also super happy. It’s exhausting. I had psychotic depression and bipolar disorder bc childhood and when I started micro dosing I became more expressive and stopped self harming as much. I do believe mushrooms have a huge part in making me seek self love and all together love. While tripping they’d make rude comments to me like “I hate you, no one will ever love you… so on” I just listened. I said they are cared for and they got mad and basically tried to cancel me out and be in their own realm still making rude comments to me though. I tried my best to relax. After tripping they said I was being negative and think I’m better and canceled THEM out. It was kinda crazy to think about and still has me questioning why they put everything on me. Yet I felt fully aware and hope they start finding healing and don’t see me as some insane maniac out to get them 🙃❤️
Chatted with Terrance for a couple of hours back in 93-4 in London before a speech at megatropolis. Fucking hilarious! Miss him from world but he left a big trippy footprint, cheers !
He sure did brotha! 💜 Culture is not your friend!
i once had a talk with my buddy about exactly this..."not self-aware enough to break through" good way to put it. love it
this has been a really good backdrop to listen to while writing a book on dmt
100%
I reflect once a week on psilocybin and it has saved me ❤️🙏
Dakota you're on point with this one buddy I feel like everything you just said it's almost exactly how I've been feeling which is really crazy but cool. I've been psilocybin cubensis penis envy mushroom and man let me tell you it has changed me completely as a person
so much love!!!!
i agree dustin
For me it always becomes an extremely reflective experience, and I use it to appreciate art or music in ways that my normal brain literally cant fathom due to the blending of senses. Shit worked as a catalyst to save myself from a 10 year depression, been a different (better, healthier, happier) person for the 2 or 3 years since that trip. Boils down to whether a person is comfortable accepting the expansion that the substances offer, or if they fight it and refuse to let go of their contracted experience
I agree with Terrance McKenna... It's not going to do for everyone what it did for us. It changed us into better versions of ourselves, we feel it immediately. I am so grateful for having this gift , to tap in easily is not something everyone has.
It's amazing 🤗
that’s so crazy to think about. i never had actually been able to pinpoint it, but you are completely right. some people are just not open to the idea of letting their real consciousness take over during a trip.
my cousin and i have 2 completely different views on lsd. For me, acid changed my life. for her on the other hand, she doesn’t even enjoy the trip. she experiences the peak and her trip ends there. for me, the real trip doesn’t begin until the comedown. when i’m finally ready to let my mind open up and let the thoughts flow in.
i don’t even believe i’ve ever had a bad trip. i think that some people, my cousin for example, consider a bad trip when you begin to realize the issues the lsd highlights when you trip. acid for me, is a way to dissect my life and really pinpoint the things i need to change in order to grow. even if i end up crying for hours, i would never call it a bad trip. people just need to open up and be ready to receive the truth. lsd is a way to really just expand your consciousness
Peace brother! ❤
I'm actually terrified of mushrooms now. My experiences have become increasingly "religious". My last experience had me wanting to "put the toothpaste back in the tube" and go home in surrender, and I was already at home. I don't know, a blessing, and extremely reflective, but yikes is an understatement. Whenever it happens I wonder "how could I forget what this can become, what door I am opening". And I think I should go home and bury any mushrooms I have left... I do not come from a religious upbringing by the way... But these experiences have me freaked out and running to the Bible, of all things. I don't know what to make of it all, super conflicted, especially lately. Mushrooms are no joke, and if they are a joke, I'm too scared to laugh. My earlier experiences were extremely beneficial, and I feel they have all been beneficial, but I ultimately DO NOT KNOW
Also, I think of them as a powerful REMINDER. Spiritual "trojan horse" though... Like whatever I thought I was embarking on, turned instead into a judgement/examination from god. Also someone used the analogy of "tight-rope-walking" and "high-weirdness". Can certainly feel like inner guidance is heightened, and you can learn/be with more grace. Please let me know if anyone relates to any of this or if I have just fallen to fear and gone BATSHIT
@JungleWyzard Thank you my friend for chiming in as well :-) I very much agree with you right now! My earliest experiences had me praising and wanting everyone to try, so I can understand people's fervor, but it has become so much more complicated since then, and perhaps always was. I still don't know what we are dealing with, and each individual approaching at their own will and pace is crucial. I'm also remember a quote I think from Terence Mckenna (he may have been quoting someone esle) like "when you get the message, hang up the phone". And I have thought about that with mushrooms, one message I often got early on is "you have everything you need". Also makes me think about how the mysteries at Eleusis were only allowed to be attended by a person ONCE in their life, perhaps for well-meaning reasons... I cannot imagine how these things could ever be commercialized.
@JungleWyzard Thanks for asking ! 🧡 I do feel better in many ways. I won't necessarily try to hold a literal conclusion about the trip, but I won't discount it either. It did precipitate me finally addressing some things that had really been bothering me, and reaching out to someone I had been worried about, addressing my fear of responsibility, and shame. Also it immediately broke an addictive cycle that had been ramping up, of using a medicinal plant🌷, supposedly from an international organic crop, but not from my own garden, which is significant to me for sure but I disregarded my own rules and experience. So as with most, if not all, trips I came through with something good. Sometimes I just come through with an extremely awoken sense of appreciation for just feeling "baseline" again. And then sometimes I don't know how much of the beneficial aspect of the experience is "intentionally" provided by the mushroom, or born out of our survival and coping through the strange encounter/unfoldment. The dosage was, I thought, not more than another dosage I had a week or two earlier. Before these 2 recent times, probably no "trip" since a year earlier at least. 1st of these last two was fresh cubensis, maybe equal to 1.8 grams dried, not nearly so intense as the next trip, which was maybe 1.6g (but fresh so 16g or however that works out) and extra sprinkled dry powdered cubensis from another batch. didn't think i added too much dried powder, but maybe! Then also squeezed a lime from the garden and mushed it all in a mortar/pestle, drank and ate.
@JungleWyzard Thank you so much my friend
I totally agree man, i always wondered why my friends never changed, or healed after taking psychedelics...
Maybe because they don't need any healing since their life in all right?
The first time I did LSD I looked up at the stars and each star was blinking different colors. I said “look there’s a red one, theres a yellow one” and my buddy laughed for some reason when i said “ yellow one” it stuck with him. Long story short after many trips and sharing deep thought and conversation and reflecting at my first experience, being mesmerized by the visuals and thinking about how different my first trip was to how my trips have been ever sense. My first trip I was mesmerized by the “pretty lights and colors” ever sense then we’ve called somebody who does psychedelics to just enjoy the high and see shit and feel good “yellow ones”. We haven’t really made a name for people like us who like to actually experience the mental aspect and have deep philosophical thought, conversations and realizations(ig it’d be psychonaut?). I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a “yellow one” I’m happy those people enjoy themselves. I just couldn’t imagine taking a psychedelic and not pondering my existence. Ever sense I started doing LSD specifically i think it definitely has brought me closer to myself and helped me understand spiritually because before I didn’t even understand the word. To me it seems like a word that can’t be defined, it needs to be felt.
I thought All the videos and articles and conversations with other “trippers” I’ve had were gonna prepare me for what I experienced, WRONG lol I thought I was prepared but there was a lot I was holding in that I had not known was there, and that shit hits you all at once. Had a new found respect for psychedelics since then
I've always been attracted to psychedelics, but never found a proper setting with trusted people to have this experience with, where I live (Sardinia, Italy).
I'm looking forward to the occasion!
The fear! Don't forget the fear. A lot of people can't allow themselves to relinquish control and will fight the trip, so to speak. This can lead to a bad trip or just not breaking through and having to deal with a several hour blag, as opposed to several hours of revelation etc.
Yes don't forget this. Having never taken a heroic dose or even knowing what they were, I took 7 grams with 2 friends. I wasn't ready, and was scared I wouldn't come back. I would fight for a long time, give in a little, then fight some more. After that long 8 hours of not so fun stuff, I can't wait to do it again when I'm ready. I want to let go, and not fight. There was another level I just couldn't go to, I really thought I wouldn't come back.
I'm stupid but dmt revealed a lot. I've completely changed. Psychedelics changed my life. It woke me up to my true self. I went vegan and practice yoga/chanting/ nofap/ I listen to you talking like me everyday. I feel like it was divinely planned or something. Because I've tried to recreate that experience for others and nothing happened. They weren't necessarily stupid. It's frustrating because I see how psychedelics could change the world. I see US all as one family. I now have a better understanding of God religion especially Hinduism. I'm now a truth seeker. I smoke DMT like a few times a year and it blows my mind every time. I love you all
I saw god's blueprints, but uh yeah, there's always more easter eggs. I'm not here to re-engineer broken toys though.
italian-from-italy long-time follower here:
Life is full of places and ways where we can feel The Whole Within. Of course psychedelics are great, but even swimming naked at dawn surrounded by dolphins could be a highlight in your life. Would you tell people who cant swim that they are missing out something they SHOULDNT miss out?
Plus, everybody has a different goal in life and a different way of expressing intelligence and sensitivity; you might be fitting with the psychedelics world but for some other people life is fulfilled once they climb up the Everest or when they enjoy farm life feeding and cuddling ducks and donkeys or when they sit 8 hours straight in an office in front of a computer doing what their fat boss full of dandruff told them to do.
At the end of the day, people should offer each other comprehension and kindness, regardless of how they achieved this condition. Some do with psychedelics (or at least they say so) others do by studying marketing and politics (or at least they say so).
The point about snubbing the choice of consuming psych. while dancing in a crowded festival is interesting: I myself (like you) enjoy more an isolated and calm setting for my trips, but again that's just my perspective of a man that always enjoyed solitude and circumscribed dialogues more than oceanic crowds and infinite noise; but i also love clubbing and I cant say I wanted to kill myself when I took certain substances while dancing with my friends in my two Berlin-Germany decades. It's not always about seeing The Big Snake and The Supreme Light and talking with your dead granma.
You seem to be here a bit too focused on your own experience, which is fascinating (again, long time follower) but not the absolute truth. Needless to say, one of the biggest revelations of psychedelics should be that life is perfect in its own self-evident existence and immutable variety.
I would also point out that it's kind of annoying (from a wannabe rationalist perspective I might want to represent) to constantly hear you saying IDONTKNOW/IDONTKNOWWHATIAMTRYINGTOSAY: you keep repeating it and you kind of come off (here) as shallow. The thesis you want to set out with this video is big and heavy and you should elaborate it more logically without hiding behind IDONTKNOW/IDONTKNOWWHATIAMTRYINGTOSAY, otherwise it kinda looks like you just want to play around with being cool and alternative without having the right thick skin for it.
I like you because you are a young and naive pup with a sense of humor (prolly the same sense of humor that brings you say always IDONTKNOW/IDONTKNOWWHATIAMTRYNNASAY, which is also a partial expression of your humility) and thats why I really want to tell you to be careful with certain coercive thoughts (that sound like nazi-guru) about what other people should do to be GREAT, because they are going to hurt YOU big time, one day (yes, you, not the other people, but YOU).
In short, I would focus on that "IDONTKNOW"; not as a filler world that reveals the chaos in your head, but as the premise of your own clear philosophy, because I really believe that, deep down, you know you dont know. You know it's all BEAUTIFUL and OK, you know there is nothing to "KNOW" but everything IS.
peace out man
love from italy
i’ve hinted towards the exact same idea in a couple of my videos!! talking about some of my dmt experiences when i was smoking it with other people and all they talked about was “the colors” and “wow i’m so fucked up.” i decided it’s almost like their mind doesn’t have the capacity to have the full experience. it’s honestly sad
That's the truth...I was spiritually led to mushrooms for enlightenment. I take them in my own space. I have gained so much more than I expected. I'm sober almost 3 years this Thanksgiving from alcohol. I'm happier and now working on quitting tobacco. I am grateful for all that mother earth provides. I always set an intention always seeking.

On telegram,
They got lots of psych product on store..
I've been participating in ayahuasca ceremonies for the past 3 years (once a month) and I absolutely CANNOT imagine doing it on a place crowed and full of strange people, it just blows my mind, you're extremely vulnerable and sensitive to everything around you, 80% of the time I need to be laid down sometimes I can't even move, I feel EXTREMELY cold even with 3 blanket on top of me, I cry a whole lot, I throw up A LOT (not only me) the slightest wrong thought or even the wrong music can trigger some buried memory and throw you on a "bad trip like" sensation that feels like L.I.T.E.R.A.L hell. So yeah, I really don't understand how people can feel safe making themselves absolutely vulnerable (both mentally, physically and spiritually) in a place full of crazy/high/unknown people
They don’t go to the spirit worlds. The plants don’t let them in
I think it depends on the dose you take and how they effect you. I've tripped probably like 35-40 times or so and other than 2 of my trips they were pretty much all just a good time and not anything "awakening". I always stuck to lower doses though, never done more than 200ug of lsd. It wasn't until I tried san pedro when I had a spiritual or life changing experience. The last time I tripped was almost 2 years ago I did a massive dose of 2c-b and it changed my life. Made me realize a lot of stuff.
I think 2c-b is a perfect example of how psychedelics can just be used as a recreational experience. Unless you take a high dose the headspace is almost non-existant. I could go to work on 2c-b if I really wanted to.
MDMA has always been extremely therapeutic for me though. Every time I've taken it it makes me realize how wonderful the world can be and I just appreciate my life a lot more in general.
Well you might not be the brightest cat
@@triple_gem_shining I think drugs just effect people differently. Most people don't find mdma therapeutic or have realizations on it and instead just abuse it often to party. I usually just listen to music or go camping when I trip, spend some time with nature.
Many people including myself have had intense psychedelic experiences with realizations from just cannabis (which also has a spiritual/religious background) but I'm not going to go around and act like people who smoke weed for fun and don't have realizations on it are not bright or too weak to understand. It just comes across as pretentious imo.
Eye like that you mentioned the shrooms having intelligence we sometimes seem to forget that plants are alive and aware.
3 QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE THE JOURNEY: 1.Who am I with 2.What is my mental state like at this moment 3. Where are you going? If any of those question are negative in nature DO NOT PARTAKE.
I had microdosed at a party and had a hybrid of that experience. Very spiritual but also very fun and magical. It was my funnest trip.
Taking psychedelics at a music festival really opens you up to seeing human behaviour in a new light. It’s interesting to see, it can be amusing, frightening, enlightening, and bat shit crazy fun, But to each their own.
you put this perfectly into words. it feels almost like i have an alien perspective because i prefer for it to be more profound not a "whoo lets get messed up" experience. i really dig the analysis my dude, love to see it.
I’ve done a fair amount of psychedelics, not as much as you or some other people I know have taken, but I learned a lot on these compounds. I eventually decided to stop though because I felt like it was changing how I thought to such a degree that I felt like I wouldn’t be able to function in society with how it was allowing me to think. I was beginning to overthink and look for hidden meaning in EVERYTHING and it was starting to drive me crazy. Anyone else?
That's call mild skitzo symptoms, as long as it's not permanent, you're ok.
You just tweaked your receptor sites too much.
I am so glad people like you, with similar experiences exist on the internet. When I tell people, who take psychedelics with the intention to party, that psychedelics are the most important thing that happened to me and opened my mind to the spiritual world, they look at me like there's something wrong with me.
It’s our little secret
Funny you say that because in my very first mushroom experience I was told I shouldn't focus or feed my own amazement with colors and the "magic" side, I was specifically told that I am not one of those, I must go deeper than that, I understood the message and took it as a must, in fact in my 2 follow up experiences (all around 6 months apart from each other) I had very little fractals, neon, etc, type of visuals.
To this date I can't tell for sure if It was my own intuition telling me but it felt like I received the message telepathically. Either way, I am glad this happened right from the get go.
We are very like minded. Great vid bru keep it up you have been of great help to me as I journey myself
"I don't know what the point of this video is" instantly tells me we're in for a gooder. Love ya bud💙
I think about this all the time man! I would never want to take psychedelics in a party atmosphere. My favorite way to do it is ritualistically deep in the forest 🌳 with intention and openness. I love your Terrance McKenna impression 😂😂😂
I want to share a story with you guys that’s mind blowing. I took 2 grams of mushrooms and went out into the forest on a journey with deep intention and readiness to learn. Meanwhile 3 of my friends took 4 grams of the same batch of mushrooms and they stayed inside their house together. I had an extremely deep profound experience. I had deep visions and out of body perceptions and felt connected to the whole of the universe. I returned to their house with such a refreshed deep outlook on the world and felt one with the whole of all we are, and I asked them how their experience was expecting them to have twice as powerful of an experience that I did and I found them smoking on the couch watching TV and they told me they didn’t feel the mushrooms at all like zero percent! 🤯… i guess I think the “universe” gives you the experience you need at the time your meant to experience it and I believe the universe reveals its secrets to those who have the courage to face it, and to those who are pure of heart- pure of intention. But there’s so many variables. But I totally agree with you Dakota this constantly blows my mind. I’ve never had a trip even a microdose experience that hasn’t been spiritually profound for me and then I see tons of people use it as if it were just a party drug or something to have fun merely seeing colors
People are scared to think people put their blinders on filters and just keep it like that. Some people aren't scared to take the filters off
I like to re-engineer the filters
Feel ya on not taking things in crowds, but it’s very likely that even shamanistic cultures used these tools in festival settings.
I feel "stupid" could be replaced by "closed minded" because stupidity is a lack of knowledge but close mindedness is an unwillingness to open up to new ideas witch I find far more disturbing!
I had a really hard time accepting this with people for a long time. I realized that the more I tryed to make them see lesser I saw for myself, it drained me. nowdays I just hope they can get an AHA and join in on the mystery. If not I can still share a moment of beauty in silence with them or use metafors thats easier for their minds to touch so I can keep my own mind flowing. AND if im lucky sometimes (without me trying) they can open up and see the whole picture of what im saying, and it is beautiful when they do....
Some love music to go into trance and some love music to dance on the floor.
Some prefer psychedelic to learn and some do it for fun & comes out confused.
You are so right on that 🤔 it will always be a mystery to me
Huxley called this phenomenon a "gratuitous grace". He said, "a gratuitous grace, that which is neither necessary nor sufficient for salvation, but which, if properly used, can be enormously helpful to those who have received it."
Yea bro i'm not eating a bunch of shrooms around streangers, that's to many unfamiliar energies for me in that state. more of a spiritual screment than a party favour, body and mind both gotta feel good and intuition tells me if it's cool. I have a decent amount of experience with acid and shrooms and totally respect them. if you don't many of you all know what happens! peace, Love, and safe journeys you all!!! I'm moving to a farm to start the small communities thing. Getting ready to plant some gardens., get back to nature! 6 years ago I was in Detroit, on the westside being an apartment dweller. I have completely flipped my life and found my happiness! (Thank you to the shrooms for connecting me with whom ever it is guiding me from those realms, I feel you all know without the shrooms!)
I still remember my first shroom trip.
It felt like trees were breathing, non living things started moving, could see trippy visuals and what not !!!
However, I also had kinda bad phase in the trip.
I NEED MORE OF YOUR TERRANCE IMPERSONATION!!! HAHAH SO ACCURATE :)
And yes, psychedelics have changed my life entirely as well! Pursuing my DNP to hopefully provide assisted therapy one day!
He used to hang out in Santa Cruz, I saw him several times. ( Terrance M.)
100% agree. a lot of people dont give these compounds the respect they deserve. but i think in due time, these compounds will eventually demand that respect and if not given, they will destroy everything you think you know about yourself and your delusional reality that you live in leaving you in shambles. the logos is gentle with the people that honor it, but is merciless and brutal to the one who refuse to set aside their selfish desires.
@OLIVE_TRIPS on Instagram Sells psychedelic stuffs stfu with your dog shit scams
Music festivals are a ceremony, and when everyone indulges in psychedelics the whole place seems to raise in vibration and is in its own bubble of collective consciousness and magic and impossible things happen. I've also taken psychedelics alone in a dark setting countless times. But I've also taken them at music festivals and there's nothing wrong with it. Being with your friends surrounded by open and accepting people riding the crescendo of psychedelia, and yes blasting off during the peak of the evening. There is no lack of insight for me and many others I know I assure you, some of my deepest conversations and insights have been post star power back at camp. What is life but experience? The introspection still always hits me hard. For you to say someone who takes the at festivals is missing the point seems holier than thou, but I still understand why some people could see it that way. Yes there are drunkards there, yes there are people getting fucked up just to get fucked up, but if you surround yourself with the right people it is a ceremony and the entities usually love it and are ecstatic when I blast off in that setting too. It's like following the thread of your highest excitement and meeting them there. I don't think it's disrespecting the experience at all. You must have had a shitty festival experience?
I would really love to try DMT or magic mushrooms but don't know where or how to get them, so hard to find in my area
Look for cows
I’m so interested in the experience but am terrified of having a bad trip
I could remember the first time I tripped it was so trilling I felt like I was deep into the sea
Mushrooms helped me overcome my addiction and I’ve never felt more in control. 1 year clean
One of my most powerful trips I saw the face of Hanuman in the sky, it was wild
I've had a few experiences. One of the dmt experiences definitely remind me of something you said. I was in a black room, both literally and where ever my mind was. Then there was this box below me and it was all this bad stuff, and I was trying to keep the box closed, but at some point I realized it was overpowering me and I couldn't. It was scary at first but at some point I just let it open and I realized nothing was bad at all. It's so weird seeing/feeling all this happen. But so relieving. A bad trip is only bad if you keep resisting what it's trying to show you.
I realy like doing psychedelics with freinds because its just so much more fun then doing it alone. But i also realized that i only get thes deeper and meaningful thoughts when i seperate from the group for a while.
I love u Dakota sry 4 all the criticism over the past few years u didn’t deserve it your a good guy jah bless
Well said. Personally, I feel like I need to try microdosing mushrooms at some point because I have ptsd and anxiety from near death experiences I've had as well as other trauma and old baggage I need to let go of. Hopefully it will do the trick
The only psychedelic I have used is Marijuana. I have tried it several times, but I don't seem to feel anything. I feel the same.
I always ask people, "What are you supposed to be feeling??" Do you have any insight to this?
You aint hittin it right, chef!! You gotta smoke with ya boy
You remind me "The Midnight Gosspel" but not in a bad way
I’m concerned about having another existential crisis. I felt like the answers were given to me and it shattered my mind
I appreciate your insights, love the content
Being a colourful being helps.. I did a lot of skateboarding while tripping but I also went on many hikes in beautiful nature whilst doing so. I remember once listening to Bad Brains all night and nothing else with a few friends. I can be a lovely experience♥️
I understand you. but intention is NOT the key. we were buying mushrooms and lsa seeds and the describtion was about seeing colours. this was what we were looking for. then we took 4 seeds each, walked to the market-fest. then it already kicked in like too much mdma, so we went home again. what happened next was 6 hours of pure awakening, telepathy and all that stuff! we WOKE UP that day! 2 weeks later we tested the mushrooms, open for new drug effects. was almost kind of dissapointing to see that it almost had the same effect but honestly it was absolutely mindblowing again anyways, a psychedelic experience. each trip gave us dozens of philosophical sentences that we could make out of our experiences. we learned a LOT. after like 20 trips or so the philosophical sentences per trip got less and less. in those days i also was "blaming" people who use something godlike like that at partys and stuff. nowadays i feel like: if you CAN party on that stuff, then you DESERVE to do so!
and i know that thought that maybe it doesnt work on the "stupid", it also kind of makes sence. BUT sometimes i think it ONLY works on the "stupid" because now that i have learned a lot of it, i can use it now as party-drug. so maybe the others already were wise enough and i first had to learn stuff about life.. ..but still i feel like it might be true that it needs a smart mind to make out messages of the shown pictures so to say..

You are correct. In the movies and books and shit, the characters often talk about how they feel when they look at the stars or the moon or the sun and whatever. The writers who wrote that probably experienced it and not just copy pasted something. These are spiritual experiences but peeps dont know what to call them and they leave them. Good thing is that nature doesn't fail to get to us no matter how modern or advanced we get.
Spirit is everywhere. At some point you don't need to take anything anymore to see it (but you can keep taking them). You're everything, basically.
Man the title of this made me LOL!!
