I've been reading a book about LSD. It's called something like LSD Spirituality and the Creative Process and it's insane. There's a chapter about how you feel. people also wrote down their experiences so you get see understand what it's like, firsthand. of course, this book is encouraging the use of LSD and so it's got a positive conotation to it. I know people have bad experiences but I'm still so intrigued by it. How else can you see sounds, hear and taste colors, see shimmering and glowing air, see parts of you across the room? One person stared at an object so long they forgot whether they were them or the object or parts of both. Others said they weren't worried about time, the past or future, just what was now. Time meant nothing. they saw everything was alive. The walls were breathing, the paintings had muscles and each object had life in it. You could see vibrations of which were sounds and colors of which nobody had seen before, say words that weren't real but yet they had meaning. The air would have a tunnel in it and then jewels would be around each corner and a bright shimmering beautiful light poured out from some of them which blinded out everything else in your mind. You'd feel extreme sensuality with yourself and really sexual without the actual need or usual want for the sexual gratification. People enjoyed where they were. Then there's the bad parts. People felt sick and felt something was chasing them, and their friends were plotting against them. You'd feel completely hopeless and the universe had no meaning in it. So it'd range from music being so satisfying you just wanted to lay there and hear the things that sounded the most beautiful to you now all the way to feeling that everything had no meaning or purpose and God was one big joke. Some people heard and saw things, intricate details on surfaces that were usually discarded by your mind. Things that were once dull or ugly were now the most radient thing you had seen before. Some people feel great after and that life has taken on a new meaning. Others feel that life without acid is boring and too dull. There was some baseball player my dad told me about that after he took acid, his eyes changed and he looked at things differently and because of this he was able to hit every ball and never lost a game. It was because his eyes were changed and his focus was changed for the better after he took acid. There's also shrooms. It's hard to tell them apart from plain poisonous mushrooms. It's just so crazy how something that's natural and grows wild can do that much to your brain 9since mushrooms are similar to LSD). It's like, how does your brain structure change like that? How is it possible to be normal like we are and how come we aren't seeing things like we would if on acid? How is it made possible to see things this way? It's just weird to think about. it shws that God definitely put extra work into making us because changing your brain structure and thinking process that much seems really complicated and really specific. Anyway the book is encouraging the use of LSD because they feel it promotes creativity in writers and artists. I don't recommend it, but if people are gong to do LSD so be it. It makes life more interesting for us. There's before and during LSD paitings which turned out to look really different. But on one of Tool's albums some guy said "If you don't agree with drugs and think they should be banned do me a favor. Go home and take all your records and all your CD's and all your music and burn them. because you know all that great music that has help enhance your life throughout the years? Those musicians were really fuckin high on drugs." And it's true most of the time. If LSD helps make better music and better art and create more ideas and helps us see the world from a different view or angle then people willing to take it should be allowed to. It helps show the rest of us how it can be and even reading that book I could almost experience the trip though them. I wish i could actually just do it. I really do. but I won't. But I think it opens our mindsa up to new possibilities. It shows us that our cell phones and coffee and car and new tie and big screen TV don't mean shit. There's more to life than materialistic things and this drug can help show we don't need al this crap we think we do. Give Paris Hilton a couple hits of acid and I guarantee she won't feel the need to do all this pointless shit she does now. She's not chnaging the world. She's sitting on a pink sheet being photographed for a magazine that'll be disregaurded in a few years. Drugs show you what matters and what doesn't. Especially if you lose your friends and family over them. Then you realize that they matter more than the drugs. Or that drugs mean more than your bullshit AMerican way of life which includes fast food and starbucks and your boring job or your shitty marriage and your uninspired and meaningless and pitiful, boring life that you let it become. Drugs should be given to those people. the people who don't sleep, don't eat, are obsessed with their job, own all the same color of clothing, go to phony lunchins for their company, haven't had great sex in a long time, barely see their spouse much less talk to them, have a brand new shiny car that's spotless inside, and get the same double shot expresso every morning. Any way I'm done for now. Next time I'll probably talk about heroin or PCP or XTC.
