Alcohol - the key-rse

[Smaerd]

A toxin that suppresses the CNS(central nervous system). It can put you in a realm of "unconcsousness" . When other people get inebriated to they feel they are tapping into the universes infinite pipeline?

Alcohol is my curse and gift honestly. When I get drunk I feel as if I have tapped into another realm of all knowingness. I never seem drunk until my bodies limit's have reached(even if I am double vision drunk). And when I black out/pass out I feel channeled into what I believe is a DMT trip although I have never done DMT aside form in my sleep and near death experiances.

Am I crazy, or does anyone else feel this?

It might just be bcause of my cidney experiances and always drinking on it. So the brain associations? I dunno.

Alcohol has always lied to me. It tells me everything is cool, even when the alcohol itself is contributing to making shit worse. I know what you mean about "all knowingness" though. Alcohol, for me, kills fear and anxiety, and with those things out of the way, many choices seem more obvious; the mind isn't muddled with aversive reactions.

Ultimately, though, it's just bullshit. Because it's about avoidance. Instead of learning from fear, letting it help you grow and become more self-accepting and self-aware, you can just pick up a six pack and put off that uncomfortable task for another night. That habit, for me, went on for years.

yeah i think it can be used many ways. lots of ancient tribes used alcohol in their religious ceremonies yet today people abuse it and end up ruining their lives with it. when used like rev said, as an avoidance to reality as opposed to an enhancer it becomes dangerous. but if used with awareness and conviction it can be something else entirely.

^ That's what I'm starting to notice ever since I started drinking in moderation.

I remember one time I ate a quarter(7.0grams of middie quality) in some brownies, then drank a couple forties(colt 45). I ended up waking up out of my sleep to go to the bathroom, next thing I knew I was on the ground and everything was surrounded in a intensley purple static, and I couldn't tell when my eyes where closed. I had the sensation that I could see through my eyelids.

i've had some downright spiritual experiences with alcohol.

I have never felt this DMT you speak of, but none the less, well, alcohol to me is right for some people and completely wrong for others. Just like pretty much everything else on this Earth is.

I do believe I have learned under alcohol and I do believe that I have soul searched things under it that I would of never have soul searched withouth the lack of there of.

When it comes to my individual opinion of alcohol, I feel like Winston Churchill when he said, "I have taken more from alcohol than what alchol has taken from me."

purple static?

reminds me of like when you are exposed to brightness after being in the dark, and then being put back into the dark? it's like a "tv popcorn" visual, but in like purple/maroon.

to me it sounds like you had a FAT headrush and didn't really realize it because you had just woken up
