Now, we will get
into color, what you can see with the eyes closed and what it means.
Changes in the perception of color, along with light, is a big reason
why LSD has been called a visionary experience. It was mentioned earlier
that with LSD, when you look at something, it's like seeing it for the
first time and seeing it as brand new. It is color and light that makes
for this effect. When you look at an object, you are seeing colors.
If you look at the American flag, there is red, white and blue. When
you don't see red, white and blue anymore, then it is not the flag that
you are focusing on but something else. Visually, the physical definition
or limit of an object is its colors.
You can look at many objects on a desk and know what they all are, but you can look beyond that and just see all of it as colors. The baby that is born tripping just sees all the pretty colors, not knowing what the objects are, and sees it in the best possible way because the baby's mind has not yet been contaminated by social conditioning. With LSD, an adult can clean the trash (ego) out of their brain and now have that clean, clear, pure uncontaminated vision that the baby has. When you take LSD, it will be like seeing color for the first time, as if your entire life before was in black and white. In a similar way, with LSD, it's like you are alive for the first time, as if your entire life before was lived as a statue. People think that they are already living, alive and in color, but if we are aware of only a tiny fraction of one percent of the brain, it's fair to say that this is a society of statues disguised as people, sleepwalking in a black and white world. With LSD, a person can finally wake up and get turned on to life or finally get turned on to life and wake up. The way that you will see color adds a special dimension to everything mentioned in the last chapter. For every time the word "objects" was used, we can substitute the word "colors". Instead of saying that objects come alive, if the objects are seen as its colors, then it means that colors are coming alive. You are seeing all these colors in movement, in harmony, all in the same flow, rhythm or pattern and you can feel the same flow, rhythm or pattern within you. You can physically and emotionally feel this kind of connection with everything or all of the colors that you see and realize that what's going on in the external world beyond your skin is just as much a part of the real, ultimate YOU as what's going on inside your skin. With LSD, how you see things, meaning the colors that you see, will be determined by how you feel. If you feel positive, you see a happy day with bright colors and if you feel negative, it's a dark day with dreary colors. The idea is not to take LSD if you are feeling bad or negative in any way. With LSD, color, like everything else, becomes tremendously intensified. You will see the brightest, most radiant, brilliant and beautiful colors by far that you have ever seen. The colors will shine, sparkle and glow like diamonds. The living, moving colors will be spectacular and electrifyingly exciting. Light makes this effect possible. The effect of light combined with the colors makes for a beauty, brilliance and brightness that has to be seen to be believed. The magnificence of light adds to the richness, splendor and grandeur of color and the entire LSD experience. Objects will seem as if they have their own light coming from inside. The object, its colors and the light are all alive, moving, dancing, wiggling, merging, changing, etc. When there is light, there are shadows. The play of light on surfaces and the shadows become very mysterious, meaningful and captivating. It cannot be explained in words why that is so. It's another one of those things where a person has to experience LSD and find out for themselves what it means. |
