Is LSD more mental or spiritual?

[goldpower123]

I have an opportunity to take some LSD, I'm definitely interested in the personal growth side of doing psychedelics.

Does it have the ability to connect you with your heart or benefit you in a deeper spiritual way? Or is it more of a mental drug? Just interested to hear about LSD and the benefits of it on a deeper level, becoming a better person, healing etc. Is it similar to mushrooms?

I tried mushrooms and what they did for my life afterwards was absolutely priceless.

LSD is one way to explore personal growth.

Like all "true" psychedelics, the core characteristic of LSD is boundary dissolution. One possible manifestation of this is the dissolution of boundaries you imagine to exist between the present state of consciousness and one which you characterize as "connected with your heart" "spiritually deeper" or a "better person" "healed" etc. 

LSD lasts much longer than mushrooms, is more stimulating, and tends to have a more pronounced come up -> peak -> comedown compared to mushrooms, whose intensity can ebb and flow over the course of the trip. LSD was the first psychedelic I encountered, and the only one I used (aside from cannabis) for many years before trying mushrooms, DMT, etc. One can have truly magical, life altering experiences with LSD, even at relatively low doses.

 The beauty of psychedelics is that that speak for themselves. Ehipassiko.

@goldpower123 in my experiences lsd has been much better for helping with creativity and deep thinking than it has been for spiritual states while mushrooms and dmt have been very spiritually powerful

@halfknots What are you doong on lsd to have these life altering experiences? Meditating? And how much were you using? Asking for a friend?

For me LSD has revealed God, Infinite Love and absolute truth the third time I took it. Deeply spiritual.

Start with low doses, 100ug maybe.

Be extremely wary not to take any medication days before. Also be proficient with a spiritual practice such as meditation or Kriya to ground yourself

@Gregory1 100ug is a low dosis?! That's average.

@Judy2

Yeah well it might be average, still low enough to still be able to walk, feel like you're a human being and see the walls of your house, this is why I'd call it low.

Later you might take 300-500ug, this is where the real shit happens haha

Depends 

I think it can be deeply spiritual and healing

I would simply let the experience be, without attachment or aversion. I did not have any specific intention, other than to be open to the experience, on it's own terms, exactly as it is. This is my approach to psychedelics in general. It appears that people misunderstand and misuse intention to such a degree that it becomes a hindrance. Too often intentions imply and indeed create a separate "other" which is distinct from the happening. For me, no intention is the ultimate intention. Surrender.

Mental. Crap drug. Only purpose I think is to weaken the self to the effects of DMT (breakthrough with DMT while on high dose acid is... different. Lol), or enhancing music.

If DMT etc did not exist it would have a purpose.

Lasts way too long. Unpleasant body load throughout those many hours. Urgh.
