You might look at the floor and the shape of the floor has changed
as if it's now mountains. To walk across the floor will mean climbing
up and sliding down each mountain and this might be too big of a deal
to bother with. By the time you have decided not to do it, the floor
may have flattened out again so that you can walk across more easily.
It's like waiting until the getting is good. Instead of mountains,
the floor may seem like an ocean with waves and in this case, you'll
have to swim your way across the room. You might not always want to
wait until it's easy, when the getting is good. You might feel adventurous
and want to do the mountain climbing or swimming or whatever it is,
the way that the person who feels like their body weighs ten tons
may want to get up when it's harder to do it. It's all up to the person.
They do what they want to do. With LSD, your vision is very fine tuned. You can look at a painting and notice the thickness of the paint or look at some-thing written in ink and see the thickness of the ink. You may not be able to read, though, because the letters of the words might jump around, change shapes, merge into each other, etc. Even if the letters and words are not "behaving" so wildly, so that it's possible to read, you are way beyond all of this. You won't want to interrupt the flow of what's happening with the trip just to read something because there is nothing worth reading that means anything now, not even books like this. When you are having a great time tripping, you will look at the books you read in preparing for the experience and you'll laugh because whatever these books are about is what's happening right now. All of the books about it, including this one, are hopeless attempts to use words to explain something that's way beyond words and way beyond anything that a person has ever known or imagined. The inanimate objects are alive and if you hold something in your
hand, you can feel the aliveness of the object. It can even be unclear
where the skin of your hand ends and the object begins, as if they
are merged with each other. This is part of the feeling mentioned
earlier about touching something with your finger and it being as
if you know more about your finger and what it's touching than you
knew before about either one. |
