MDMA : Is it really that artificial ?

[spice]

I never SAW mdma until I was 32 years old......

But it came to me at a period of great upheaval in my life, and my way of being, as did LSD and psilocibin.

I think now, looking back on it, that somehow, the three of them together, NOT TAKEN TOGETHER, synergized my subconscious mind into evolving my conscious mind in a very specific way.

I abandoned every single thought process, every wrong-headed notion, every traditional idea that I had, in a period of a few years....psilocibin was instrumental in some of it....it is what opened my eyes to the fact that we are multifaceted beings INSIDE OF OUR minds....in other words, it, I believe, made me understand that there is no, 'I'....but rather a series of 'I"potentialities.....LSD helped me to see that I could take these potentialities in a direction of my choosing....

But MDMA, MDA, and MDEA, made me understand that all I had to do was BELIEVE, and 'get my heart in the right place' and it would happen automatically.

This is very hard to hang words on, but it is the very essence of how I discovered what I learned LATER was called 'Metaprogramming'.

...and it's for real.

For instance, when I do it, I hallucinate.....all kinds of crazy shit happens....I get philosophical, and can't talk chemistry AT ALL......I like to go outside, at night, preferably in deep winter....and I can 'feel' the trees, and the earth....


It doesn't affect me in the ways you all are discussing....it makes me feel the earths pulse, and grounds me in the knowledge that the earth itself is where all these feelings come from.


It is wayyyy psychedelic for me......I don't know why.

Probably didn't hurt that you always had your own supply of 100% pure MDMA. Most aren't so lucky to experience MDMA without all the other crap that gets pressed in there with it.

Wisdom to me is achieved when rationality and emotion are connected, for they do not conflict in essence. This is possible with MDMA, although a lot of people tend to get dragged along with it for a bit.

Honestly, everyone here is talking about "artificial" states of being.. we are _already_ in an artificial state of being, and of mind. If you stop clinging so heavily to what you perceive of as "normal" then you are free to experience ranges of being that go well beyond our conditioning at the hands of society

sometimes I just like to take a few quotes and not add anything myself
