Redemption in Love

This heartfelt poem-prayer was sent to me by Nick, a long time reader of Future Hi. I felt it merited reading and receiving comment.
~~~
You don't want,
You don't need to do this anymore.

You do not need drugs to tell you,
That all you need in life is to love,
and be loved.

I am hereby declaring my intent, my salvation;
to never use any psychedelic drug again.
There is nothing left they can teach me.
There is no 'secret' that I have yet to find.

It was staring me in the face all along.
Love Nick! Just love people!

“Waiting for the moment when the moment has been waiting all the time”
-Yes

Love is all there is to life; and you, I, don't need drugs to learn this.
They were right!

So right!
No more will I take psychedelics.
This is it!

My message to anyone who wants to use entheogens;
Be careful.
It's terrifying.
It's completely, and utterly aweful.
Bewildering.
Incredible.
Beyond belief.
Confusing.
Ecstatic.
But when the sun sets...
You find a dead end.

All you seekers of truth,
Love is this truth.
I have chosen to accept the message,
I have finally found what it is I've been searching for all these years.

Love

“Today is the day I can see what it's all really for”
-Yes

It was staring me in the face.
My family;
The most caring beautiful amazing people.
They loved me, but I couldn't see.
My friends;
The most caring beautiful amazing people.
They loved me, but I couldn't see.
I couldn't see that's all I needed.

I wasn't happy.
I wasn't satisfied.
I wasn't at peace.

I sought.
I journeyed.

Well here it is.
Hear it!
I've finally arrived at my destination.
Unfasten your seat belts because this is what the cosmos is all about.
This is the answer to all the world's problems.
This is the truth I tried so hard to cheat.

Love

You don't need drugs to know that love is all you need; all there is.
You don't need cannabis.
You don't need psilocybin.
You don't need DMT.

Every one of them is going to bring you to the same place.
Drugs could not make me who I wanted to be.
They cannot make you who you want to be.

These organisms can send you to the depths of agony.
They can send you sailing on clouds of ecstatic joy.

But

This is only an image;
A reflection.

I envy the people,
Who didn't need drugs to see that love is the ultimate truth.

I'm casting off this great burden,
This enslavement to altered states.
No more will I be stricken by fear;
By paranoia;
By worry.

This is not a surrender
Oh no,
This is a liberation,
And a victory.

I am taking the next step, the only step;
to live my life fully,
with Love.

Love your friends,
Your family,
Your planet.
Love these things completely and wholly,
With every ounce of your being.
Be with them,
Care for people,
Don't be afraid.
Live.
Laugh.
Breathe.
Touch.
Taste.
Feel.
Be!

Don't believe the lie.
You don't have to ingest chemicals to see, to believe,
what many call 'a fantasy'.

It was a burden to me.
Drugs have been a great burden.
Perhaps the greatest one.
Creating so many uncertainties,
So many fears,
So many wasted moments.
My addiction was not in use but in thought.
My consciousness developed an unsatiable desire to be altered,
Tweaked,
Tuned,
Twisted,
Sapped,
Drained.

No more.

I am casting it off.
It was difficult.
One of the most difficult journeys I have ever taken.
It took a lot of pain.
A lot of fear.

But Love is the most powerful force in the universe.
It broke through my arrogance,
My foolishness,
My ignorance.

“I would show you a man, he would dance for love, I would show you a man, he would love to love... I would show you a child, who has everything, I would show you a child, who has everything”
-Yes

Psychedelics are a great tool,
A great paradox.
My liberation from the trap came from the trap itself.
These chemicals allow expanded perspective,
Colorful visions,
Hyper perception,
Appreciation for Gaia.

But ,
These beings,
These chemicals,
Cannot benefit you,
Unless you stop their use.
They become powerful,
We lose control of our own life.

Like Icarus,
I had to see for myself.
I had to fly to the star.
I wouldn't accept this truth,
Without feeling,
Directly experiencing it.

I got burnt.

The last thing I expected was for these drugs to make me ignorant.
None of the great scientists told me this would happen.
I was convinced I was doing something intelligent.
I was convinced I was being good to myself,
Convinced I was advanced.
But when I looked back I saw,
I had gained nothing.

Training wheels on a bicycle,
Can teach you to handle the bike.
But,
You can't truly benefit from this assistance,
Unless you leave it.

That 'enlightenment' came so easy,
I didn't see what i was missing.

Love

Psychedelics put your mind on fast forward.
You experience a lifetime in a millisecond.
But in this frenzy of information,
Something is lost.
You miss out on joys.
You miss out on life,
On yourself.

We who seek, were in fact blind.
It was in our own selves all along.
These drugs offered us nothing we never had,
Could never have.
But we did not believe something so simple,
Something so utterly cliché could be so redeeming.

Love

Psychedelics have use,
But this spirit is fleeting.
They can be a path,
A step on the journey of life.
But they are not 'the' path,
They are not 'the' answer.
They are only an image of the goal.
The goal is not hallucinating.
The goal is not in sight, in sound, in taste, touch, or smell.
The goal is love.

Love

When you eat the mushroom,
The world is beautiful.
Glowing, ever changing.
A vast, complicated, beautiful network.
But if we cannot recognize the world as such,
Through our own volition;
What have we gained?
If we cannot play beautiful music from within ourselves;
How have we grown?
If we cannot show compassion, concern, and care without these tools;
We have become trapped.
Our expression, our feelings become machine systems,
Fueled by drugs.

The seed of life holds the answer.
It has since the beginning of time.
We grow in Love.
You can choose to believe,
And be complete.

You cannot fully practice and experience love without abandoning these crutches.
Thank them for what they taught you,
But leave them.
Do not return.
Believe in yourself.
Resist the urges.
Acknowledge your empowerment!

I refused to believe that there were people wiser than me,
People who had learned this same truth,
People with more experience than me.
I refused to believe, that perhaps,
The answer was not hidden,
Not taboo,
Not locked away in the vast and wondrous expanse of the psyche.

We don't need conspiracy theories,
We don't need to hypothesize, theorize,
We don't need scientists to tell us.

The breakthrough?
Love completely.
Please.
Please don't think it's necessary,
To take the path I took.
To sacrifice your spirit.
Please don't think its necessary,
To don the wax wings and take flight.
To endure some arduous journey.

It will all come full circle,
And the answer can only be found when you land,
Although flying might have given you a good glimpse of it.
Return to love.
To the people you love.

Some people just have to see, to learn, and experience for themselves.
I hope I can integrate this truth, these truths, I have learned on my journey.
My journey's not over yet though.
Perhaps its only just begun.

Other people told me.
Other people wathced.

I put myself through hell,
Through incredible experience,
To discover the truth.

Love

Each person must make his own journey.
I do not shun these drugs.
I cannot tell you what paths to take.
Only through experience can we be taught.
But I can say this;
If you choose the path of Love,
You will never get lost,
Never make a wrong turn,
Never lose.

"No need to wonder, do you belong. No need to worry, you can be strong. Don't disbelieve it, let your fears go. There must be more to this life than we all know...Then we find the solution, staring us down"
-Yes

I've cleared the cobwebs,
Cleaned away the waste.
I had to see it.
I had to have it stare me down.
I had to have the truth forced into me.
I watched as the lid was blown off reality,
It was exhilarating.

Love

Its all I needed, and all I will ever need.

I'm sitting here,
Chuckling to myself.
Because none of it was necessary.
Drugs are a dead end,
Spiritually,
Intellectually.

Life.
Laughter.
Love.
The important things are all around us everyday,
Love completely.

This is the greatest and most full of all realizations.

Cast off your burdens.
Compassion!

It's all up to you.
You can choose to be brilliant!
You can choose to be a living, breathing, wonderful example to us.
You can be a testament, to the miracle of being alive.
The radiance of existence.
You can choose.

Tell everyone you know!
There is reason for rejoicing!
This is finally it!
Care for people!
Be a beacon of hope!

Do I sound like a maniac?
Like a preacher?
I'm just as fucked up as the rest of us.
Maybe I'm weak?
Thankfully,
There is redemption in Love.

It feels so good,
To finally,
Bloom!


Peace ... check out the pic below..

Thanks for sharing that Jony.

I wouldn't say drugs are a dead end.
Tho hard drugs have destroyed many lives,
psychedelics can have the opposite effect.
Opening doors in the mind which were once a dead end.

Life + Love + Psychedelics = Life Squared

we all have a long path behind us and some os us must keep on searching
of course i vont quite my path because i found the truth on the internet...
i still want to experience dmt still love my shrooms and plants ... takeing care of something or someone is a form of love i think...

[dpwishy]

wow this really hit home for me, thank you very much. About two weeks ago on a pretty big pan cyan dose, i was told by my inner light that i no longer needed mushrooms, aya or dmt, and so on. He/she/it told me that they were teachers, that they have taught me everything that their supposed to, that the fundamental laws of the universe are love and empathy, that this whole process is to teach those very things. When those are realized, and we are filled with love and empathy the last step is to learn to let it all go.

My inner light explained when i was ready, that the next step was to let go off my love, not just of booms, weed, aya, and dmt, but my love for all things, food, sex, relationships, basically all sense enjoyment. He explained a life of simplicity, that what i consider food is all feeding to my sense enjoyment, that i can live off of just white rice and beans, i may not like the taste, and it may be dull, but it is sustenance and life. Anything past sustaining that life is feeding into this desire.

I was told that it was completely up to me, and when i was ready to let go, to do so, and he/she/it will be waiting, but i was warned that continuing to take these substances was selfish on my part, that i was only looking to hallucinate past this point, or to find answers by digging deeper into he/she/its mysteries of what this place is, that they already taught me what they were supposed too. I was explained that i need to lay down that desire to understand these mysteries and put faith in the fact that one day i will attain these answers through patients and faith. But no matter what i do, what ever choice i make, my inner light told me he/she/it still loved me, and would be waiting no matter what. We can either learn it now, or in 10,000 years, but we will learn it.

At first it was a very scary concept to me, and i laid down for hours and cried, i have so much love for so many things, and its so hard to let that go, i'v made the first few steps in my life, i just hope I'm strong enough to fulfill what i truly want, and not let my desires and selfishness take control. I feel like i know why we were given free will and existence, and i want to use it correctly. A devote is some one who finds the path, and never gets off it, no matter what. I see the path, and i hope I'm strong enough to continue down it until my end.

love, peace, compassion and respect

I wish i could talk to your "inner light" (maybe i allready did...)

do you belive it is possible(everything is possible right )? to meet someone in a spiritual dimension ...
could it be that my inner light gawe me wings to fly ...but allsso told me it is not the time to use them....it happpened last summer...
now i m learning to fly with a powered paraglider...

could it be that some people can read toughts (or even manipulate them)and du you know people who have a black hole instead of an inner light??

is it our faith to learn thease things ?

We'll man i can't tell you what your faith or meaning is,
faith is relative, its a case by case basis,
its up to you to believe what you want to believe.
Take your experiences and analyze them with your heart and soul,
you'll know whats right from the inside out.
Listen to yourself, not me, or a website or a guru or anyone for these answers, its inside you.
i didn't post that to give or change any bodies faith,
that would be a mis-use of this site in my opinion,
i was just explaining my relative stand point on the issue.

And your question on black holes instead of inner light,
personally i don't believe that, i believe that this inner light is in all things,
not just the living, but everything that was created.
I don't think its about people having black holes in them,
rather their not in touch/connected with their inner light yet.
To each their own....

love, peace, compassion and respect

[Mind]

Its not about the answer, positive things can come from something that can help you put thoughts together that were never put together before. Things can go so many different ways, and to think they go this way shows the universe loves you.

Theres allot of things to get pulled and hung on about but theres also allot of things opened from experiencing the pull and hang of it. Hopefully enough to awaken the overall mind a little bit more.

Love is the mystery.

is at your feet


time between trips keeps the experience fresh
Life, Love, and a life filled with Love is just another trip


Love is a drug, that can also burn you out.


Then it is time to get out hang gliding...
(if you want to experience a lifetime in a millisecond in another way... btw, take the powered out of the paraglider and footlaunch like Icarus. fortunately wing materials have come a long way since his time, and they won't melt in the sun, but UV rays will degrade them over time...experience the purity of true motorless flight. You will find you have less time for the kind of drugs you have to ingest, and the experience can be much more rewarding. Taken together, well...)


And more bits of unsolicited sanctimonious advice:

Mirth and humour in whatever form you can get, it is good.
