Hey guys,
It's a bit of a long story, but I'll make it as short as I can.
I took a strong hit of LSD back in May, and it blew my mind severely.
I was fine for a while, but I was smoking weed a lot and getting flashbacks from it.
I gave this stuff up and I'm clean from drugs these days.
Recently, I got very into out-of-body-experiences, astral projection etc.
I'm just finding it very scary.
My life feels like an illusion, I feel like any day now I'm going to wake up from a coma or something. It only seems to happen at night too!! When I'm with my friends at college all day I'm fine!
The main issue is, I know that if I ignore all this spiritual stuff and go on with my normal life making sure I don't think about it, I actually never get scared and forget about doubting my existance etc. However, I feel that if I did that I'd be losing a valuable part of my life. It's come across my mind to get into this stuff late on in my life, but who knows when I'm going to die?
If anyone else has ever been spiritually scared, it'd be helpful to get advice. I know the obvious option is just to stop and to live normally, but if there's an alternative that'd be amazing.
Thanks guys,
Calum
First, realize and accept that all the stuff you're talking about *IS* living normally.
Now... just live. :)
I don't believe for a second that we were meant to live so disconnected from our spiritual/consciousness side.
What did you expect to find by delving into the Astral Consciously Aware? Why did you do it in the first place? Answer these questions honestly to yourself and you will find your solution! :-)
Hey wise Owl.
Ive had flash backs from Lsd..but they go eventually. Just dont take anymore.
As for the fear well i believe its normal, but spiritual unfoldment and practice is meant to be joyful. So if your finding your self unsettled and scared. Put down what your doing for a while, focus on the joys of life do what makes you laugh, spend time with friends.
When you feel more balanced, read some spiritually empowering books, be gentle with your self, read some Buddhist philosophy for example. Then start a little gentle regular meditation.
That would be my advice and I speak from experience, Ive been to hell and back (metaphorically speaking LOL) Peace :-)
I spent years yearning for what I used to consider to be "normal", though my perception has changed over time and I realized that there is no "normal" and I had an incorrect perception of things to begin with. It's good to be able to accept change in both the world and perception of it.
At times when it becomes too much for me, if I have many experiences in a row or feel like that I surround myself with friends just to disconnect at times only because it can get too much for me mentally. Or I just take walks with my dog, meditate in nature or go to the gym.
But never loose or give up the spirituality it is truly a beautiful thing and in a way the more we connect the more life just seem so amazing and wonderful, endless with so many possibilites and life.
