Isn't everyone that you interact with in the real world just a figment of your imagination anyway? If you really break it down; all you're perception of other people is, is light bouncing off of them, through a lens and converted to an electrical signal which your individual brain interprets as best as it can and sends that signal to your conciousness. Which, I imagine is why you percieve you completely differently than i percieve me. Perhaps when a girl looks in a mirror, and she is "just noticing" her imperfections; perhaps her perception of herself is different.

So really, no matter what state of mind you are in, your perception of others is entirely governed by your brain. To a point, figments of your imagination.

So maybe that woman was a figment of your imagination. But maybe she was an astral traveller as well just role playing a business woman in the astral; and you running around proclaiming your divinity.. Well, if i was travelling and someone was grabbing my "arm" screaming that they are god... I'd look at you like you were crazy too []

Sorry i came off as a complete jerk above. DXM is just a really bad choice for mental activity. A really good choice to trip face however.

I'm not an anti-drug preacher by any means (i was a hardcore drug addict until a few months ago when i cleaned up my act quite a bit); but it really comes down to the serious choice. Do you want that extra mental activity that not everyone has knowledge about; that extra special something? Or do you wanna trip balls. The choice comes down to A.) If you take the drug to do it, and B.) What drug you take.

Dxm is a great choice to trip, but a horrible one to project. I would only recommend abstinence for AP; but if you feel you would rather try with it induced by means of chemicals, try the less harmful ones. Pot, LSD, Psylocibin. And people, dont start spitting out garbage about acid.

Check out www.erowid.org if you havn't heard of it yet. Read up on the psychedelics; however I have had little success with drugs and AP.

Believe me, it was a hallucination. I've done DXM at least 100 times (not my drug of choice; that title went to LSD) but believe me, dxm is not something you want to be into if you are looking for a clear head.

For those who dont know, dextromethorphan is a common over the counter cold medicine; which, when used in large quantities, is a very very very powerful disassociative similar to PCP, or special K (albeit, more powerful than the latter).

It is VERY hard on your brain, and I strongly doubt you, i, or anyone else has the mental functioning while on it to engage in any sort of astral activity.

While disassociated your brain is in a cluster f*%k. Think of the opposite of OBE.. Instead of you and your consciousness leaving your body, your consciousness and your brain leave your body with you in it. So you can be thought of as the left behind part of an OBE. What your body would be in normal AP/OBE/etc.

This drug does cause olney's lesions (similar to what ecstacy does) although DXM's lesions can be MORE serious as it is concentrated in more specific areas of the brain (particularly the memory areas).

This is all coming from a former tripper, who found natural areas such as AP as an alternative to drugs.

All this will do is cloud your mind making it more difficult to concentrate on your AP; weather on, or off, of the drug. As i have said before, it can, and has, caused permanant, irreversable, brain damage in people such as speech impediments, memory loss, short term memory problems, association problems, and can also cause HPPD similar to LSD induced HPPD.

Not to sound anti-drug (im not at all) but DXM is NOT the drug to use for AP (nor are any disassociatives).

I have however heard good things about psychadelics such as lsa, lsd, and psylocibin (As found in.. certain mushrooms.) But i wont condone there use. *wink*

Appreciate your use of words is has a contextual connotation, but felt I had to edit all the same! Regards, S []
