Psychedelic Nostalgia!
For all those who love to be high, illusion seems to be reality. Often the world as seen and felt when tripping is felt by many to be far real than anything they have felt for a long time in the real world in perfect “control” of their own senses. However, as you read you will realise it is not really control but rather lack of control that makes you survive in real world. Welcome to “reality”!
The Human brain provides a very strange yet essential feature that can be understood as the real life equivalent of a bypass filter.Those associated, like me, with engineering or electronics in one way or the other can recall it to be a circuit that allows a certain frequencies to pass through it but at the same time it filters certain range of frequencies that it is designed to stop. When we are young we are open to senses and can feel a lot more than we can when we have grown into adults.Imagine being able to feel everything that the world around you has to tell! Imagine being able to hear the scream of the child in the building next to you, the itching behind your ear, being informed of how exactly each part of your body is feeling at that particular moment! Would you ,in such a state , be able to concentrate and write your final semester examination or even check out how HOT the chick that just gave you a second look actually was? NO! NO! NO! and a straight forward NO!
That is why our brain filters the range of information that is fed to us so that we can well check out actually how HOT that chick was!However when you are tripping this ability of the brain is highly reduced.It is because of this that you can feel more and the creativity increases manifold.SO is the time distortion or more commonly known as time dilation that we feel when tripping!
Higher levels of psychedelic experience makes your ego zero and you gradually merge into the essence of Universe , a feeling that is often said to be achieved during Nirvana.However one must keep in mind that mere hallucination and momentary lapse of ego is not Nirvana.
Till you achieve that.. HAPPY TRIPPING!!!
Do comment on your experiences of tripping!
I’ve just finished recording a song called Psychedelic Icecream Man, It really is based on our local Icecream Van that came around and the vendor just happened to be the local drug dealer as well.
Not sure when it will be released (if allowed!)
