A consciousness catalyst?


A consciousness catalyst?

Writing, from the top of my head. From an idea .... Is LSD a consciousness catalyst? I think so. How? I do not know... but somehow. I always loved depictions of other worlds in movies, seemingly the heavenly ones (that I think are heavenly) actually turn out to be the dangerous and more hellish worlds, whereas the individual's consciousness is thrust more into a heavenly fight, with abundant meaning, purpose and life. I think of certain movies when I think of this, and in particular, the recent movie Sucker Punch. The girl (holding onto her hope and life) is thrust into an unimaginable situation where (holding onto her hope and life) is inevitably thrust into higher worlds, of which she becomes a powerful fighter and learns very deep knowledge very quickly. I guess LSD could be considered subjective... different for everyone, but I do think there are links between our shared subjectivities. They seem to enhance each other. In the movie sucker punch, the protagonist's friends are joined with her, in these very dramatic worlds. I believe consciousness and dreams seem very closely related, although seemingly many times hardly understood.. We can say the same about LSD. So many people have a hard time really explaining it. But seemingly as my understanding of consciousness increases, more so does it seem like a consciousness catalyst, much like what some people do naturally (such as in movie Sucker Punch). Somehow (metaphorically - but possibly somehow chemically [not quite understood]) unlocking our brain and helping our consciousness experience very much enhanced reality. Sometimes surprisingly as it goes deeper than usual. Some people really like deep and such an experience is a very cherished thing. Although we can do this without any drugs or plant catalysts. There is something about a plant catalyst that really gives it a push (the consciousness, that is). Many times this can be very helpful and beneficial. A proper knowledge of how to use something, is a proper understanding of how to use something successfully! Somehow consciousness is very much enhanced on LSD, and that is a really nice thing I think! Even in tough situations... There are other things that can catalyze consciousness as well such as SET and SETTING. These are old terms and I'd rather use the words situation and mindset. As you can see (without taking any LSD (so much as we know)) in Sucker Punch, the protagonist had both of these things quite very much enhanced, so she naturally discovered the power of her brain through her extraordinary circumstance. I'm not sure how LSD quite factors in with these other catalyzers but we do know it sure does do something. Perhaps it loosens your brain so that you become super sensitive to these other two things. Super sensitivity can quite many times be a trip of its own. Joyful, sad, uplifting, angry. Many times a natural super sensitive person will often resemble the conditions of an LSD experience. Such super sensitivity demands the experiencer to get on top of this profound and enhanced experience. A strong mind will do, and such an asset turns it all to fun and it is a great time!


Hope somebody likes my writing. Thanks!

LSD the wonder drug

 When someone has a particularly intractable programming problem, or finds himself pondering a big career decision, he deploys a powerful mind expanding tool -- LSD-25. "It must be changing something about the internal communication in my brain. Whatever my inner process is that lets me solve problems, it works differently, or maybe different parts of my brain are used, " said Herbert, 42, an early employee of Cisco Systems who says he solved his toughest technical problems while tripping to drum solos by the Grateful Dead -- who were among the many artists inspired by LSD. "When I'm on LSD and hearing something that's pure rhythm, it takes me to another world and into anther brain state where I've stopped thinking and started knowing," said Herbert who intervened to ban drug testing of technologists at Cisco Systems. Herbert, who lives in Santa Cruz, California, joined 2,000 researchers, scientists, artists and historians gathered here over the

Broader Insights

The gaining of self-knowledge while under hallucinogenic stimulation is specifically mentioned by the Indians of the Southwest, who feel that guilt is resolved by means of unrelenting self-criticism and visionary awareness of one’s sins. Ellis also refers to a similar state of perceptive introversion: “It was as if I had unexpectedly attained an objective knowledge of my own personality. I saw, as it were, my normal state of being with the eyes of a person who sees the street on coming out of the theatre of broad day https://www.facebook.com/Psychelics#

(96) Psychedelic Review

(96) Psychedelic Review : By the revelations of psychotropic medicine, leading to a more fundamental view of human experience than Freudian psychology has hitherto supplied. The anxiety and rootlessness of modern life will be seen to be the result of inner barrenness, created by the frustration of our subconscious needs in a predominantly rational society. Empty utilitarianism, deprived of poetic faith, forces the sensitive being to reject reality, since reality is devoid of the emotional appeal that it formerly enjoyed. Man is a creature whose necessity is to dream; when the individual, or the race as a whole, is frustrated of its inner vision, it must suffer as when deprived of material health. Human beings are nostalgic for the fulfillment of their primordial Life. Their anxiety is not the result of fear, since modern life is more secure than ever before, but of the loss of inner destiny, of the devitalization of the illusions revealed in the yearnings of myth and poetry.
