The mantra's they give you have a strong effect for the better. A feeling of well being and calm comes about over a period of time. I have found out since that the mantra's were ment for those living a life of recluse in an ashram or community, and not ment for the general public. My mother started meditating after I did, and she quit because it freightened h ...[text shortened]... e takes place. It opened my mind to many new way's of thinking, and perceiveing the world.

Funny you should mention this.
LSD is not for everyone. You cannot hide from your own creations and the negatives of yourself while on LSD.
While I only took it a handful of times and would never recommend that others take it, LSD was very helpful to me mentally. It allowed me an objective perspective that I never would have otherwise had.
But LSD is bad, MmmKay.....

I've heard LSD has been negative to some people, but then again it never caused me any harm.

Originally posted by buckkyLearn a good spiritual practice first, then add medication if so desired. It can make the ascent up to the sky a lot smoother. Try broadening your horizons a little and get into a sweat lodge or something. Psychedelics are better described of there properties by the professionals that have been experiencing their effects for thousands of years, Mexican Shamans.
I heard an East Indian guru type of guy once say that taking LSD is like putting yourself into a cannon, and blasting your way through the celling to get a look ay the sky. You might get a glimpse but the damage done might not be woth it.

Originally posted by rwingettCan anyone truly be objective about anything? Wouldn't gaining true objectivity be Enlightenment. I don't think one can gain objectivity through meditation or LSD. It simply does not exist for us in the flesh. We can't even know if our consciousness extends after death. Those that are telling you otherwise are shams trying to get your money and your flesh. Or they simply are lying to themselves so that they can serve another. I absolutely label myself as a christian. I am just more worried about the Now life then the afterlife. "god" forgives me, I forgive you.
"Objective" perspective? Through LSD? You must be high or something.
