First Time LSD Trip: Seeking Advice for Cherry Pie

obtained some acid smarties from a friend, gonna be experimenting for the first time. any tips for a first-time tripper?

Have a trip sitter and a safe place to do it. Go in with a good mindset and music to listen to

honestly set intentions before you go in, like what you actually want to explore or experience. and have water nearby lol sounds simple but you'll forget

Yeah

Def have a playlist of music you like ready. The longer the list the better. That way you can let it play and forget about it! Have a good time and remember you will be ok!

@meat Acid is a long and a hell of a ride, be diligent in preparation for your journey, you must have an idea of where you want to go as the conscious observer and you will go there if it is within you. For if you are not prepared mentally but too physically you may come out having not realized the genuine ‘divine’ experience due to unconsciousness of the subconsciousness of which acid and psychedelic by proxy open our witnessing consciousness into, but in order to do that we need to leave our mind and personality behind the veil to explore the limitlessness of consciousness and the divine that’s what makes it all so far out. It can take you absolutely wherever you want it to take you but understand that no matter where it takes you, whether it’s a transcendental spiritual awakening or a beautifully terrifying bad trip it, it is taking you to where you need to be in that moment on that trip at that point in time as spirit wills it into manifestation or existence of which we have the privilege as conscious observing beings to meditate on and find our own subjective “esoteric” meanings towards realizing our ‘real’ trip in life which is called samsara and is beyond all the illusions and hallucinations of the egoic mind, the universe, far beyond simple binary life and death. Though at that same time it is paradoxically here and now and the energy we feel moving through us (e-motion) is as real as everything we are seeing but even that thats still in dualism haha. Oh the human language and its limits, but even then as the driver of the human avatar our experience is by no means limited by the two because it is the one behind the two where the one arrives which is the objectively-subjective experience behind the ego play of language which can shadow imbalanced desires and misaligned attachment. If you have the upmost faith that you know without a doubt where you want to go in your journey, then embark on your journey alone and have no fear or doubt in your path but if there is even an ounce of doubt in your mind find someone who has the experience to help determine whether it is true aligned doubt or an illusion of ego. Or you can fuck around and find out like I and many others have but still I’m telling you, you gotta make the effort to explore the maps of consciousness on your own in order to make your own internally aligned decisions. For those like myself this is the path but my path is not everyone else’s, so venture into the core of your being and ask whether you’re being truly needs the ‘artificial’ opening of the door. I definitely did and am now learning to practice opening the true physical door when it is time for me to enter back into the one but further into the paradox you are not me and I am not you though funnily enough the place psilocybin took me to is so far beyond the limit of my mind that I’ve gone back and filled the gap to viscerally realize that at that level we truly are one, and there really is one love. But that’s psilocybin, which is very very different from acid, in that it is synthetic vs organic, of which based on my experience has a higher disposition for egoic hallucinations of which can influence fear if one does not understand what fear can show us about our karma. There’s more to say on the synthetic side but I’ll leave that to you to explore on your own if you feel as if you need to do so. It comes from a story RD told about an Individuals subjective experience of finishing the game on acid and knowing where he was going within it. The story is much more complex than that dualistic example of it but it is good food for thought. Not to be fearful but to help you understand the depths to which these gifts can take us to if we are not prepared. I’m not saying that’s the end goal either just to clarify my point in saying: just be careful with the trips you choose to go on, because in the end all trips in life are good because they helped us to get to where we are now but with due diligence and openness to what is, all it takes is one trip to take you past the veil of your own mind. The rest is just an egoic dance of attachment. But sometimes “god” (insert literally anything “causal”) needs to let a wild bull into a china shop to make the fragile absentee owner realize the beauty of their shop wasn’t the easily broken china they had thought their worth and value was contained within behind a paper thin door (veil) that was shattered because we didn’t learn to invest in a strong foundation or build a strong door to not let any wild running bull in and truly harm the owner and colleagues working diligently inside who are just doing business as usual as they have learned. The human soul, is where the beauty of the store is truthfully contained, because if well there was not any china to buy (or destroy) why would anyone meaningfully come in to our store (life) through the veil (egoic mental reality). It’s just our job to make sure our internal childlike spirit is safe, once they (you) feel a sense peaceful discernment in even the deepest and darkest depths of our inherently chaotic but divinely structured universe. As above so below, as within so without. Just food for thought! Take it as you will and I wish you the best of luck in your travels throughout the ether and I will see you out there fellow traveler. With love but really One Love, Sage
