A simple guide on making psychedelics an integrative journey

I see people getting high on psychedelics, but a very few of them BREAKTHROUGH, and their life never remains the same. Don’t you want to be one of them?

Psychedelics aren’t about tripping. If you want to trip on psychedelics, just drop the idea. Believe me, you can’t trip on them. Contrary, psychedelics will trip on you — it can be your worst experience ever — then you will tell people how LSD ruined your life — which sadly would never allow true knowledge about such beautiful substances accessible to everybody.

There is immense power in psychedelics, it is nuclear energy; if harnessed properly, it can fuel your inner world; if messed up, then you would experience Hiroshima Nagasaki... (you know what I mean!). If you think I exaggerate the power of psychedelics, then you didn’t have any integrative experience with these medicines. Nobody could exaggerate the experience, our ego dies during the journey, the experience goes beyond “I”, can’t be understood or explained by “I”.

You never hear “I tripped on ego death”, because “you experience ego death”

So my friends, here I present you a guide, on how to NOT trip on Psychedelics.

Requirements

  1. Any psychedelic substance (if you think you don’t need one, then you are enlightened my lord! I bow down to you)
  2. A good trip sitter (don’t you want an audience for your show!)
  3. A calm mind

So what it is like to experience psychedelics

I will give you a nice analogy. Imagine a rocket. Ready to be launched in space. Where,

> You are the rocket

> Psychedelic substance is your fuel

What is a successful mission?

  1. Proper take-off (i.e your Dosage and substance)
  2. Correct Destination: a planet? black hole? ... whatever you want (i.e Intentions you set for your trip)
  3. Collecting samples/information from the destination (what you Experience)
  4. Bringing Rocket back to Earth (i.e. Integrating the experience in your life)

You don’t want your rocket to “trip”, you want the rocket to “bring something back from the journey”, be a sensible psychonaut

Dude! it’s a lot of work. You need to be careful not to blast the rocket midway.

Other parameters to consider

  1. Are you in a safe place? The rocket shouldn’t be launched from a crowded area
  2. Contact back on earth? That is the reason trip sitter never join you inside the rocket. An experienced trip sitter is the best to guide you
  3. Do you know your Launch Speed? DMT will knock you off in seconds so be careful with the fuel
  4. Do you know the time length of the mission? Don’t forget you are going to space, Einstein has shown time is relative, and you will encounter black holes in your mission
  5. Have you kept enough onboard resources? A good music playlist, food and water, comfortable clothes and room temperature etc
  6. Do people know about this rocket launch? Inform family and friends, especially if it is a big launch. Don’t you want a celebration!!!

What if there is a problem in the journey?

  1. Don’t hesitate to ask for help from people on Earth, call your trip sitter
  2. Slow down, don’t keep going through same speed. Deep breaths help a lot
  3. Trust yourself, everything is okay. Afterall placebo isn’t a pseudoscience
  4. Surrender to experience. Don’t try to unnecessarily stop the rocket, it is already launched, you will automatically be returned back to earth when the time comes.

What if you tried everything, and discovered your rocket is going to be a Titanic in the space

Oh! man, I feel sorry for you. Learn from your mistakes. Unsuccessful missions teach things which can never be learned in a successful mission. Embrace the experience, whatever it is. I know that crash will hurt you.

Hey! don’t be afraid of another launch. Upgrade the rocket body by meditation. Prepare more for the launch. Try setting a good aim.

What if everything goes at its best? #EgoDeath #Journey #Experience

Linda : I’d be scared.
Oscar : Scared of what?
Linda : Of dying, I guess. Falling into the void.
Oscar : They say you fly when you die.
- from the movie Enter the Void

Looking at beautiful intergalactic space is fun, but it can be observed with other tools from Earth. You launched a rocket, right? Then explore which can’t be seen, aim for black holes. It may be painful to enter in it, but once you make it, the singularity is all yours… you need not steer inside the black hole, things will come to you. Just let go!

Inside that black hole you would find your OWN UNIVERSE, now you are ONE WITH SINGULARITY my psychaunat.

Believe me, if you have experienced ego death, your life will never be the same. If you are doubtful you have experienced it, then it is clear you haven’t.

Had a successful Journey, what’s next?

It’s integration time my pilot. You will most probably forget your journey. This is because the journey can never be understood, it can only be experienced. You will have a sense of your breakthrough. That will be enough. Meditate and keep that sense ignited.

Launching the rocket again?

Don’t, unless you have processed all the experiences from the last journey and you really need it again. Launching again and again is not a solution. It takes a lot of risks. What’s the key then? Ans. Our ancestors used to call it meditation :)

Are ready for your interstellar journey? I wish you a successful mission!

Updates: I feel sorry for not releasing blogs I promised. I am not sure if I will make a blog on Santo Diame ceremony, if you want to know about it, please write to me personally. Thank you for your understanding.

Please follow me if you liked my blog. Also, don’t forget to clap… tap that button multiple times just like the claps you want to hear after your successful journey.
