It has often been
said that if a person takes LSD, they will go out of their mind. Many
of those who have experienced LSD will know what that means. For those
who have not, it gives a very false impression to talk about going out
of one's mind. This can give the impression that the person is going
crazy, insane, psychotic, etc. A much better, more positive and realistic
way to explain it is to say that one may go "out of their mind"
or "beyond their mind," but they do not lose their mind as
such. What happens is that the person becomes aware of that huge part
of their brain or mind or being that they never knew or dreamed existed
and this real, true identity is something which dwarfs the ego.
Our egos, our concept of ourselves and reality, the social system, how people interact with each other and the entire society is full of problems because it's all based on that trivial, tiny fraction of one percent of our brain that we know about. We must move beyond this silly nonsense and get in touch with the rest of the brain. LSD is the catalyst that opens up the mind, that gets us in touch with our potential and this is the only way that the country will ever change for the better. If this is not clear, it's not your fault. Trying to explain LSD with words is impossible and doomed to failure because this is something that is way beyond the limited world of words, but like others from the past, I must give it my best shot because it IS that important. In the past, there were some good books about LSD. Everyone who has ever tried to communicate the meaning of LSD has been confronted with the same dilemma, the impossibility of communicating it using words so that someone who has never had the experience can understand it. All of the books from the past, good as they were, can only be comprehended by someone who has taken LSD. Unfortunately, that will be the case here, also. This will include what I believe are the best ideas from about 80 books written in the past on the subject, along with my own ideas based on direct personal experience with LSD in the late 1960's and early 1970's, all combined into one book. Hopefully, it will be of some value. So far all that has been said is that LSD can be a positive experience, that there is more to your brain, mind, being and identity than you ever imagined, that LSD can make you aware of that infinite dimension of yourself that has been blocked out of normal, everyday consciousness and that if people woke up and realized all of this, it could finally change the world for the better. Nothing else is going to change the world for the better in any meaningful way and those with power are the ones that are going to have to finally get with it or it won't ever happen. Those who have never tried LSD are the people who spread all the negativity about it. There may be very few people who have not tried LSD and believe that it can really mean anything. However, among those who have tried it, it's a whole different story. Countless people have said that LSD was the greatest experience of their life, the best thing that ever happened to them, the most educational, important, significant and meaningful experience of their life, a religious experience of union with God and ultimate reality, an experience of joy and beauty, an experience of intellectual, psychological, spiritual, philosophical and metaphysical insights and revelations, etc. I remember, during one LSD trip saying that this experience, right now, is worth more than an entire lifetime without LSD. Is there anything else in life which can be described in these terms? What could be better than feeling infinitely better than you have ever felt before? What could be better than learning more in one day about life and reality than you had learned in your entire lifetime before taking LSD? What can be better than feeling like your life is first beginning, like you are breathing life for the very first time? If all of that isn't enough, what could be better than experiencing eternal life in heaven and being able to do this while you are still in this life, before you have died? |
