I feel it still gets in there and swishes around staining a few parts of my soul and mind. For me learning that I could have that many things in my head at once was a starting point and lesson from my first one on. This is also why I don't feel the bad trip thing, because I've always taken it in stride and knew it was just a wild ride. Speaking again of safty, I would also mention that I never knowingly put myself in a bad trip enviro. Even walking around in the dark without flashings were safer for me than a room of people who weren't tripping. It's hard to relate to those who aren't once you start to speak

When i say too much information i mean purely in the sensory sense of the word. Its like why driving on acid probably isn't the best of ideas. We have to filter stimulus to concentrate on the important things. Like when i'm trying to read a book i don't want to be concentrated on the fibers that make up the paper...then i cant read.
and i think its no coincidence that some of the first societies so revered the mushroom that sprung from the shit of their cows. society allowed people to be able to both trip and not get eaten by a bear. we just never thought to look out for the bear hiding in our collective before it was too late.
Maybe the next big step in human evolution is to tame that bear and let the doves come through from our collective.
...I dont know, im just thinking that the universe is primarily a positive occurance and negativity is just our unwillingness to open ourselves to the positive. just like darkness doesnt truly exist (only an absence of light) i think we need to open up (with entheogens or without....preferabl y with
) to the fact that there can really be a state of pure positivity between humans and with nature.
maybe once we're in a state of positivity being around non-tripping people wont be a bad trip enviro at all, itll just be a source of reinforcing positive energy. we gotta make ourselves truly good so that our drugs can be even better!
