Does understanding god entail losing ones mind?

[Elshaddai]

It's something that came up in the last 2 acid trips I had.

This notion that in order to know God I need to lose my mind and become insane and that's how I can get to know god.

My ego was alive during the trip and resisted it, I didn't want to lose my mind.

Anyone experience something similar?

What does losing your mind and becoming insane look like? 

[Jehovah increases]

No, you don't have to go insane to wake up as God or lose your mind. You just have to let go.

Not at all. It's true now and you're doing OK. The problem is conflating drug trips with your notion of what it means to encounter "God."

It's whatever is absolutely true now.

The way i think about it is your "default" position is safe, survival mode. Anything other than that will feel like sanity cause youre in unfamiliar territory.
