Angry Soul

[Darklon]

I have become a very tempered, hot, angry soul once again in my life. I am experiencing a grueling hate for a lot of people I don't know personally. There could be multiple reasons, jealousy for those who have many friends even though they are physically, mentally, and socially inferior. But ultimately I realize that I choose to be an outsider because I realize they would be horrible friends to begin with but it still causes to dvelope a growing and quite dominant hate for people I don't know personally. Perhaps my anger is because I have observed their stupidity for far too long (I'm still in high school, not only that but I go to the "bad school" as you may call it, where they send all the druggies and addicts).

Possible reasons continue but none the less I feel as though maybe this growing hate/anger is what is preventing me from projecting, maybe not. Who knows, it's not the first time hate and anger has dominated my life. I stopped taking my prescription but who cares, it's for ADD and takes away my impulses and ability to socialize so it only hinders me. I can focus fine on my own, modern medical science is not effective for they believe they can treat everything with medicine, WRONG. It can temporarily treat with damaging side-effects; not worth my time.

But could this be a reason why I haven't been able to project? I'd like to believe I have a natural talent for this sort of stuff but maybe the medicine has destroyed my imagination but hopefully I will make a full recovery from that soon. I quit drugging and smoking weed too.

Hey, darklon. It does make sense that if you control your anger and try to think positive, you will have easier time attracting blissful projection experiences. Otherwise, if you're angry, you'll go to the underworld where lower thoughforms tend to dwell.

Just curious, what have you experienced with the drugs you've taken as far as astral projection goes?

[Darklon]

Nothing actually, I've never projected before, but I'm wondering what is preventing me from projecting. I tried to project on shrooms once but I found it far too hard to concentrate, I was lost staring at my wall watching it turn to shapes and faces, twas my first time on it. I used to always try to project while I was stoned every night too, but I was stoned all the time which I can't imagine would be good for me, although I did vaporize so I'm pretty sure my lungs are fine lol

using drugs will damage your spirit vehicle. Also if you do acheive AP while on the influence of drugs you will find you self on the very dark and lower realms of the astral , it will definatly be a bad trip.

I've done shrooms 100+ times and found it to be my only reliable way to astral project. I would fast and meditate for 24 hours and then do 5 - 10g dried. Then close my eyes and meditate for the next 2-3 hours. If you don't raise your energy through meditation, you will not have a good time attempting this.  The use of crystals also helps.

As for damaging your "spirit vehicle" or finding you self on the very dark and lower realms of the astral... I wouldn't call mushrooms a drug, since they occur in nature. Some other drugs, like crystal meth or crack might produce those effects.

Fire occurs in nature. Not a drug, but still a hallucinogen. I feel projection through the power of our mind and spirit consciousnesses is the desirable and healthy option.

Hi Darklon, I empathise, I used to be quite an angry person and felt alot of anger towards life people and situations. Did plenty of weed etc and plenty of fighting!  

I found working on my self through mediation etc was the best way. Counselling can help some people and we must consider that anger etc can be an expression of depression or low mood. Also i hate to admit, but we can often see in others that which we dont like about our selves. "Ekhart Tolle A New Earth is a powerfully trans-formative book/ audio CD.

I think also when we get sick of the crap we see in the world and the general values people aspire too and the the way people carry on that makes us angry too. But when we start to understand our selves and others we tend to feel pity and sorry for them and eventually compassion for them instead of anger.
Good luck with it, you will get through it..peace

PS remember having crap in our lives can be good..if it causes us to evaluate where we are and heal that which we don't like or no longer serves us

And I feel everyone is entitled to there own opinions.

Of course, would be boring otherwise

what kind of mushrooms do you use kurtykurt42?

[ayearhasgone]

"Anger" results when you feel like your personal sense of justice has been violated.  For example, someone who doesn't care about animals won't get angry when a squirrel gets hit by a car, but someone who cares about animals will feel anger.  It's just an example but you get the idea.

I used to have a lot of anger inside me.  My temper still gets me into trouble once in a while but not nearly as much.  How did I do it?  Well, I reduced the number of opinions I had.  I stopped reading the politics sections of the paper.  I backed out of arguments and reminded myself to let go of my opinions.  On top of that, I tried to be a more humble and open person.

It took some time, but I no longer struggle with anger.

I'm sure psychedelics can provide meaningful experiences and all that, but ideally astral projection is done while sober.

It's amazing how many conversations I have with people who think they can astral project when in reality all they did was drugs.  Maybe that's where "negs" come from, drug-induced hysteria--

Oh, reduce number of opinions, right-o.   *backs away*

what kind of mushrooms do you use kurtykurt42?

Obviously drugs are not okay and you should avoid them at all costs, but I'm a firm believer in freedom of information.  He was probably referring to psilocybin mushrooms (SIL-OH-SIGH-BIN).

http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms.shtml

The mushrooms with the red caps/white spots are amanitas muscaria.  They aren't really psychedelic, more like a marijuana-stoned type feeling, with some inebriation.  I'm just speaking from what I've read, I personally am not interested in psychoactive substances, except the occasional cup of coffee or glass of wine. 

If you are going to pick mushrooms, you need to do a lot of research.  Picking the wrong mushrooms is a very easy thing to do and it's a great way to get yourself killed.

Let me just reiterate that I think AP'ing while on drugs is a bad idea in many ways.  For one thing, if I have a bad experience and i'm sober, I can open my eyes or wiggle my toe and I'm done.  On shrooms, you're stuck with a bad experience.  I have a friend who has been going to therapy for years for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder-- he did LSD and had a bad trip. 

Furthermore, no one is going to take this field of research seriously if we're all tripping instead of doing some real, sober work.  We could talk on and on about the astral planes and amazing focus levels and being in the afterlife and all this great stuff, but once we mention the fact that we did it while on shrooms, there goes our credibility.

I've had a number of debates with members here, and come to find out, they can only project after smoking a few joints or doing shrooms.  For this reason I do not take what they say seriously.  Your opinion is garbage if you cannot project while sober.

Is it easier to just do drugs and have an experience rather than doing the work?  I guess so, but I have several OOBE's every week and I've never done drugs.  I guess if you don't feel like putting in the effort you can feel free to do drugs and risk jail time, it's not my decision.

Thank you ayearhasgone . This forum is about helping people build lifetime skills. Not quick unreproducible trips.

Strange that people go to jail for eating a mushroom that has grown on every continent for thousands of years...

Why do you think that is?

Because the government is run by fools.  What you do with your own body is your own business, as much as I personally disapprove.  If alcohol, tobacco, henbane, and a. muscaria are legal, why not legalize the whole lot and go on with our lives? 

Fortunately, psychedelics are not a part of my consciousness research.
