(I'll admit that the flood of chemicals in your brain brought by drugs can't be naturally matched, but the feeling, though unforced, can be naturally imitated) I'd love your opinions on this idea (that means you, reader). Thrash it to bits or add to it, your choice. Maybe there's an even greater ideal? |
For anyone reading this who has seen the Woodstock movie, I love the part where the dude is teaching Kundalini Yoga and says something to the effect of "you know how when you take a hit of DMT and you get this (insert spaz sound and posture) in your spine? Well they say that if you practice this enough you can get it without the drug - you can create it yourself" I've had mild "natural highs" from meditating, so I'm open to the possibility of more intense "natural" surges of chemicals in my brain.

I'd like to agree because I do sometimes feel that drugs/alcohol get me more in touch with my subconscious, but sometimes and with some drugs, they actually DO create the delusional fear and the delusion only exists under the influence of the drug.
