| If U look in the research article , quite a percentage had bad trips. BUT in the long term, the percentage that thought it was a profound positive expereince was bigger that the percentage that initially had a good trip, which means that some stiill found positive value in the "bad trip" in retrospect.
Not all bad trips are bad, the fungi acts as a catalyst for life, stripping the filters of learned perception away and can bring many underlying subconcious issues to the surface. It can be painful or uncomfortable to face these but in the end the net result of the experience is just up to the attitude of the one envolved and his/her openess to engagement of the learning of their lessons in life. Sometimes the mushroom can bring a demon out that was there inside lurking all along. Time to be sober and aware, pray and confront the negative "spirit" within, have no fear and iron out with light and love.
I see the spirit of rage that took up residence in me along time ago..this is an example, I might get anxious about this when other states,focusing on it and thus giving it space to manifest in, making me trip out bad! Or I could meditate on it in this state and focus on the space around it, identifying its facets fllowing back to iron it out, understand it so it can be gone from the root. Its a process I'm still on.
Fear is a big enemy when tripping, though u need a little bit, like healthy respect. Faith and trust in all that is, is a HUGE ally as are focus and calm. If you're tripping the light fantastic and you start focusing on the "bad you" and the snowball starts rolling. STOP> Just for a moment, close you eyes, count to ten, still with you eyes closed force yourself to smile, let some of the light shine back on U. Silently say thank you. No matter for what nor to who, and GIVE IN to the peace. Let the trip take you forward and dont be scared to learn about yourself. |
