I was hesitant to start up a discussion on this topic because I think some of you may have strong feeling about this, but I decided to because it is something i wonder about a lot and would really like to receive some other opinions and insight on. I have had quite a history of experiences with psychedelic substances including mushrooms, and lsd mostly. Many of my experiences were very intense and life changing. My experiences with these substances has always had a profound impact on the way I view things. Some experiences could even be said to have been spiritual in nature. Sometimes I have been able to get into a meditative trance-like state with lsd especially. I think it is a very interesting substance and it has shown me a lot about how the mind works, or at least my mind anyway. i know i would not be the person i am today without these experiences, but i cannot say for sure if they are cause for my endeavoring down my spiritual path or not. Who knows maybe i would still be trying to ascend if i had never encountered them. maybe not. all i know is i did them and i am more in touch with my spirituality every day. I just wondered if anyone else out there has had any experiences such as these or if anyone has a theory about the effects and possible appropriate use of these substances. i know that many cultures have used substances in the past to assist them in vision quests and the like. Also i know that some of these substances and others that i have not tried but am intrigued about such as peyote and DMT are naturally occuring. I wonder, do they have a purpose to serve in assisting mankind's evolution. Was the LSD craze of the 60s and 70s a catalyst for the now rapidly occuring mass consciousness expansion of man? No one can ever know for sure why these substances are here and what their purpose could be, but I thought it might be interesting to hear your takes on this matter. Thank you all for sharing with me and helping me to grow from your knowledge.
