RE: Philosophy of Use: Learning to Question Perception
I am sure that there are other ways but they are outside my wheelhouse. Psychedelics can be rough and hard to come by if you don't know the right people but they are a sure thing as long as the dose is right.
With a good macro-dose of weed and the right music I can get close. I used to try to meditate but I never got much out of it. I hear a lot of people do though. I don't know what else might work.
Psychedelics have a certain quality that isn't the same as those other things as far as I can tell though. I can't exactly put it into words but it is kind of like disconnecting from the self and that is what really enables a lot of the kind of thought one has during a trip.
If I were to recommend tripping for the first time I would say to make a tea out 1.5 grams of dried mushrooms. That is enough that one can get a feel for the drug but he or she is still very much in touch with the real world at that dose.
Meditation takes practice, I’m still not there but I get how it works and what it can achieve. I think we need to be ready for it to work. I started with five second meditations and have worked up to one minute, one day I’ll get to 30 minutes or longer but not today. As for psychedelics, maybe if I ever make it out to burning man or something, otherwise I’m not in a hurry.
I’ve been meaning to read your latest posts on this topic but still catching up on other stuff
Haha no problem. I follow a bunch of people so I end up with a bunch to go through here on top of real world stuff.
