Eli Young
Pretty tired of people confusing shitty bad trips and near death experiences with experiencing what religion has to offer.
You're pumping your brain full of drugs because you want a rollercoaster type of sensation, you want to feel joy and hear colors and pretty much dabble in whatever absurdity a sick mind can conjure and call it a "transcendental truth".
Religion offers you the exact opposite. It gives you consistency and peace through this whirlpool of shit that is life. It enables you to distance yourself from whatever harm your own selfish self can desire or bring about by discipline and principles rooted in a deeper truth. A truth you can get to without having your brain on panic mode.
TL;DR you had a bad trip and are arrogant enough to call it an epiphany

Mason Bailey
Does he really have to? There's that one thing called autosuggestion which basically consists of lying to yourself via mild self-hypnosis simply by correlating two things that have nothing to do with one another and building whatever experiences he may feel on that one correlated lie. Which basically is the first step, the real descent into worse "subconscious" stuff as you get more and more convinced of your initial assumption.
A bad experience may be a wake up call, i agree, but that's not how this one sees it.
Ever asked yourself why you smoke weed? I know bad trips aren't caused by it, but you just misunderstood my statement.
Sebastian Gomez
actually marijuana is a psychedelic and I cannot smoke it without having the same affect as you. i do shrooms and lsd all the time and never had a bad trip
Angel Gonzalez
Thank you B/ for defending me. never happened to me on marijuana, and i smoke it to relax lol. anxiety in general. and abusive parents. think what you want but ive never had a seizure from smoking, or anxiety.
>that was the last time i seized, ex was still there and definetly tried to hook up with me >i totally avoid her "flirtyness" by flirting with all the nurses. turns out im horrible at hospitals >ex eventually left and i was drug tested. had "more than marajauna in my system" (how i found out initially) doctors wouldnt tell me what, i dont have health insurance >didnt get released till about 4 am, called a friend and picked me up. >"hey so lets go to this bitches apartment" >ended up telling her bf about the senario at the hospital >she needed a ride to her parents afterwards. >paid them for the window i broke and left lol

basically it B/ still not a hardcore believer in religion but this was a little something. thanks to the psychologist in the thread for trying to over analyze my experience lol will take any questions and fill in any gaps i missed, my mind still gets fuzzy thinking about it
Mason Torres
You do realize that means you're not able to find peace by your own means and need to rely on a psychoactive crutch in order to compensate for the lack of such a basic human function right?
Christopher Cook
yeah sure. i guess i knew this? but i mean its legal in some states so i mean i guess it doesnt matter?
Eli Nguyen
i since dont smoke anymore, and have found meditation works alot better and more efficient. so is correct
Brody Williams
shrooms and lsd is great. but you seize when smoking marijuana?
Chase Wood
At the risk of sounding like a condescending jerk, please do view this as a wake up call and try exercizing strict self discipline, it'll get you farther than whatever you can get your hands on and will help you a great deal in your life. As for the shitstorm of life, use the aforementioned discipline to grow a thick layer of skin and endure it. Every storm dies down eventually.
Julian Allen
I like you, user. Somebody here who isn't an immature faggot, finally.
Blake Murphy
thanks, im doing much better now. i never really view that portion of my life as a "dark time"
Meditation is quite good, exercise caution and don't self hypnose yourself into believing autosuggested bs. That happens to some "receptive" people.
All it takes is not being nihilistic in Sup Forums, it's just really uncommon. But i like you too user.
That's good, glad to hear it. Just remember that there'll always be something wrong in your life, and that it's probably not your fault unless you screwed up big time. Shit happens, the point is to deal with it as calmly and as patiently as possible. And shit will always come and go, that's the one constant thing about this ever so fluctuating life down there.

Psychfag lurking. Another theory is a spiritual emergency. Symptoms are almost synonymous, though not always drug induced.
Benjamin Barnes
That's really beautiful user.
Joshua Nelson
Not sure what you define as spiritual emergency, but if "spontaneous spiritual event" is a necessary condition, this one's been triggered (if you exclude the "spontaneously mystical" experience while tripping).
Andrew Martinez
Op here. beautiful
and yes. good lesson on not smoking spice :)
Lincoln Adams
Ive had what i think is spiritual emergencies before without drugs. just never been this vivid or out to get me

Just look up spiritual emergency symptoms. Presents similarly to psychosis, but with a juicy 'paranormal' or 'enlightened' twist.
Thomas Ross
Can I ask what your mental health history is, user? Anything you know of that runs in your family? Have you typically always felt pretty anchored to reality or distant?
Thomas Thomas
NOT SEIZE NO but there are some people who do
Jose Bell
Adding on the triggering of that part of the brain's mechanisms, the method's effects are particularily strong in terms of autosuggested rerouting of what is perceived as the "meaning of life" and the ways of achieving it, which is why i strongly warn and advise against any and all crap that can lead to this point.
The assassin's castle's sect used such methods coupled with hashish with dreadful efficiency.
Sometimes there's truth in it. But truth laced with deceit is a far more potent poison for the mind.
How do you tell the difference between that and, say, genuine epiphany in psychology? Or do you not consider what is traditionally perceived as a religious "epiphany" as an objectively positive thing and bag the whole spectrum into spiritual emergency syndrome altogether?
Anthony Gomez
i guess being a gamer nerd ive felt pretty distant. but i do feel connected. My mom is batshit crazy, or just a methhead, i dont remember anymore. and i dont know my real dad.
never seen it but ill take you work
glad i could start an actual a civilized debate here boys. keep it up
Asher Stewart
realized i didnt answer everything. no mental health history. this was a first for me.
Easton Gutierrez
There are many different school of thinking in psychology and countless perspectives on spirituality. I follow more into pluralistic theorizing. In this, you recognize culture, background and individual difference and don't simply sweep experiences into a bin with a labelled 'disorder'.
It's possible that this was a spiritual emergency. In a spiritual emergency there may not be any association with religion. It is dependent on the culture of the one who experiences it. Individuals who go through a spiritual emergency often emerge with a new sense of life, a new awareness, or indeed an "epiphany".
Oftentimes, people who experience this are misdiagnosed with drug induced psychosis, general psychosis or a type of schizophrenia.
If you aren't religious and subconscious have 0 pull towards religion (which is typically extremely unlikely, as we as humans try to solve everything and ask "why" from the age of 5, so we seek after religion to cover any cognitive dissonance and open questions), you may have an epiphany from a spiritual emergency that is more social in nature, perhaps a radical appreciation for your family or friends, or even a deep and incredibly strong connection with nature.
I think a spiritual emergency is more psychology trying to put a less negative name on the experience of having a strong, perhaps drug induced epiphany, given that hallucinations and sometimes hearing voices are generally not celebrated.
Chase Jenkins
These things happen much more to emotionally scarred people, as if it were seeking the weakest preys. It's quite a vicious cherry on top of an already big enough pile of shit, but at least you have some sense of caution now that it happened to you, and you can fight it accordingly. Congrats on not going down that slippery slope into the worst that can happen to a human mind, it's less frequent than you might think, plus it gives you a neato resistance for the next occurences (if they do occur).
Connor Cruz
If it was a spiritual emergency user, it might interest you to know that in tibet, this experience is actually the grounds to make someone a celebrated shaman. The current Oracle of Tibet, seated with the Dalai Lama underwent an experience when he was in his teenage years that many westerns psychologists believe to be a spiritual emergency. His was not episodic and less strong as it began, but still a similar experience. It opened his eyes in a new way and allowed him a deep connection with those around him and earned him a position as a medium to the monks.
David Kelly

i do remember over expressing my love towards my friends as it was happening.. lol

thanks guy

I've got one, I spoke to god once, in my dreams. >be me >bout 8 years ago >sleeping >have a dream that is only words no images >was in some sort of conversation, I was asking a lot of questions and getting answers >don't remember any of the questions >or my answers >I remember being told I had to go >but that we would speak again >I asked "how would I know its you?" >and a voice that rang in my head so loud it woke me up said the only words I truly remember >YOU JUST HAVE TO LISTEN >bolt upright, completely awake, heart pounding >Listen to what? >mother fuck
Completely true account of my experience. I don't know what the fuck it was about. I say it was "God" half as a joke, half not. It was a dream, but it was fucking crazy. I'm not even religious, i've been an atheist all my life. I'm never gonna forget it though.
Gabriel Nelson
turns out its you FROM THE FUTURE. but yeah i agree, im atheist too. probably more spiritual now after that but still. Id love to get into buddhism but trying to make time for my girlfriend and work its hard to find a temple with a decent time.
Parker Jones
You don't really need a temple to be a Buddhist. They are certainly helpful institutions for a buddhist, but not necessary. Its not like a Church for Christians. If you want to be a Buddhist you just gotta read up and follow the teachings of the Buddha the best you can. >Meditate >Don't hurt people >Don't lie to people >do your best to help people.
Learning the 4 noble truths, and the 8 fold path, is the core of it. And you can spend your whole life meditating on those few concepts.

Luke Fisher
In terms of differentiating between positive/healthy realizations and self induced hypnosis through autosuggestion (which often leads to the wide spectrum of what are called disorders), one of the few elements that usually help differentiate between the two are the following: >was it induced with some substance? >does it lead the subject to a less stable state of mind? That's basically an introductory approach as to how you can determine whether the experience was indeed a spiritual one or a wake up call, regardless of the term used (whose definition may as well fit both cases due to how general it is formulated). It is usually safe to say an "epiphany" (whether religious or not) leading the individual to get his shit together is usually not part of what may lead to schyzophrenia. It may be obvious when stated like this, but given how complex and deep the subject is, and how little people know of that kind of phenomenon, it's a good start for further research. Also having a history is much more relevant than you might think.
Sorry for the delay

Jeremiah Lee
Continuing on the history thing in my post In many more traditional religions and cultures (examples including but not limited to animism, buddhism, christianism, kabbalistic judaism and islam), having experienced that kind of thing makes you indeed a special individual, a shaman/medium/conduit, that type of stuff. That's what i meant by this experience possibly reoccuring in the future, and that's why i advise caution. There's no known way to completely cut yourself off from this spectrum of phenomena, so you just have to endure it, mostly by ignoring it. It can be turned to a boon, but that takes a long and dedicated process, that's why traditionnal societies worked in castes (one of them always dealing with spiritual stuff), who basically developed techniques to seal off the shit part from happening and "distillating" the good from it (which is basically what alchemy and meditative techniques are truly about). And without proper guidance you can forget about that, these things are as good as lost in time, but it doesn't hurt to know people weren't complete obscurantistic morons in the past.

Liam Nelson
man. cubes are a trip. one time I swear me and my friends were telepathically talking to each other. As for the emotion I felt, It was fear and love until acceptance. then I felt life spring into me. how did you react to it after the fact that it happened? did you try to tell people?
Easton Long
Forgot. The krishnaite vision came as I was embracing the posibility of me following a religion. Thats when i was like, yeah i gotta go there tommorow "god" appeared and said that its a farce. Basically. Sorry im on my phone and its 7 am here.

Don't dig into it or seek any deeper meaning to it if you have the slightest hint or intuition that it may destabilize you mentally or lead you down a slippery path.
Seek out what gives you mental and emotional balance and peace of mind, dig deep into that, and derive a higher meaning from these experiences instead. That's where the valuable lessons can be found. Everything else depends on your individual potential to achieve these things.
Basically it boils down to doing objective good because it is objectively good, not because you want to pat yourself on your own back or show people you're a nice guy. By detaching your actions to their immediate consequences, you let go of whatever may flatter your ego and concentrate on what is important. Exercize restraint, do not overindulge in anything, take care of yourself and the people close to you, be charitable and help those in need if you can afford to, and do these things with humility (and as anonymously as you can), rather than openly flaunting it, meditate on those and derive meaning from it, that would be a good start. Sincerity is key if you want to pursue this path and reach something truly worth your efforts.

Xavier Brooks
Ok im not going to sleep. Yeah, that cube trip when i met god really changed my perspective on life. I did experience ego death before, but this was lifechanging. I visited my friend in the uk after i broke up. Understood the mechanics of loops after a challenging acid trip and many more drug and not drug induced ephiphanies. >Basically it boils down to doing objective good because it is objectively good, not because you want to pat yourself on your own back or show people you're a nice guy.

>I already don't believe I have a strong ego. but that could just be my ego talking. That's the kind of caution you have to exercize, this is already a positive sign but don't let my comment go to your head and stay vigilant. Buddhism isn't what i'd advise, seeing how deformed it is from its traditional core, you gotta thank new age trends for that. Taoism is already something better, yet more obscure, harder to grasp.
But you'll never go wrong if you follow a simple guideline: truth is one (as in unique) in essence, i can not stress this enough, and while in surface the paths are plentiful, they all lead down to the same truth, if treaded correctly and carefully. So as long as you go by what i've said, you'll end up at the same place, regardless of what you choose. The path you take simply depends on your potential and your individual circumstances.
Glad i could help, exercize caution and you'll be fine. Just don't pursue phenomena for the sake of experiencing stuff. There's not much more to it if you want to avoid further danger.
See you guys, gonna stay a little if you have further questions then i'll bounce, hope i was of some help.
Sebastian Edwards
Thank you for your suggestions! Ill definitely look into Taoism. Thanks for stopping by!
you make perfect sense haha. i feel like it may have been a little forced in my situation, but i had to figure it out for myself. something I left out in my story, when I would stop asking questions, I said I would feel my body sinking, at the time I thought I was dying. so it felt like I was fighting for my life.
