What do you do to LIFT your mood?

Postby erutxet » Sat May 12, 2012 3:01 am

I make a hot tea and have a bath with lots of bubbles and dead sea salt.
I do yoga, it is for the spirit and body what philosophy is for the mind ... :banana-dance:

I regularly take deep hallucinogenic trips into my mind to alleviate the depression that slowly builds over thr months and hovers over every aspect of my life as facilitated by the fact that 99% of people have no fucking idea about anything that occurs on this planet.

I study international financial market trends on a daily basis within the accessibility of the internet where I know with almost certainty that the global economical structure will collapse.

Reading I sit back and smile enjoying the sweet irony of everything.

It is entertaining. I switch back between twenty updated websites daily.

I am chronically unemployed with a lot of empty spare time...

"A truth is not necessary, because we negatively are not able to conceive the actual existence of the opposite thereof;but a truth is necessary when we positively are able to apprehend that the negation thereof includes an inevitable contradiction. It is not that that we can see how the opposite comes to be true, but it is that the opposite can not possibly be true." -R.L. Dabney

"Those then who know not wisdom and virtue, and are always busy with gluttony and sensuality, go down and up again as far as the mean; and in this region they move at random throughout life, but they never pass into the true upper world; thither they neither look, nor do they ever find their way, neither are they truly filled with true being, nor do they ever taste of pure and abiding pleasure." -Socrates

Drink, smoke weed, read, work out, play soccer, drive.
What's the matter, you dissentious rogues,
That, rubbing the poor itch of your opinion,
Make yourselves scabs?

Do you mean drugs? I used to do the same thing until I realize that using drugs isn't sustainable. There is always a collapse, a burn out, a come down, a hang over, a depression, a lack of. I needed more ...

I stop thinking and walk walk walk and observe everything around me. Then I continue to walk, walk, walk and observe everything around me.
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon

“One of the pitfalls of childhood is that one doesn't have to understand something to feel it. By the time the mind is able to comprehend what has happened, the wounds of the heart are already too deep.”

“But in good time you'll see that sometimes what matters isn't what one gives but what one gives up.”

A room without books ..is like a body without a soul.”

“I couldn't help thinking that if I, by pure chance, had found a whole universe in a single unknown book, buried in that endless necropolis, tens of thousands more would remain unexplored, forgotten forever. I felt myself surrounded by millions of abandoned pages, by worlds and souls without an owner sinking in an ocean of darkness, while the world that throbbed outside the library seemed to be losing its memory, day after day, unknowingly, feeling all the wiser the more it forgot.”

Me too! I usually feel guilty after, especially if I watched pornography. It feels good while you're doing it but sometimes I can't help but think of how lonely and embarrassing it is! I'm doing this amazing thing of pleasuring my body but it is a shame to do it alone... but I refuse to sleep with men I do not love .. and I'm estranged from my lover at this point in time .. so ... ](*,) sexual frustration, I'm not sure if estranged is the right word but I think it is..

What drugs were you doing?

Shrooms, which is mostly what I use, are the type of thing where, if you have a deep trip, you do not feel like doing it again for months.



These drugs are, without a doubt, healing gifts from mother nature. When I went through my 'waking up' stage in life I was dramatically helped by the introspective, self-therapeutic nature of the experience, and was able to cope with finding out that most of what I thought was true was arrived to be from vastly different means.

Weed can be overused, and basically is by everyone who smokes regularly (most people who are potheads smoke daily, and even Terrence Mckenna, who admitted he smoked daily/too much, figured out the optimal cycle for someone wanting to smoke weed often, biologically, is once a week.) So, while it's pretty much the light-hearted drug you can do, it does pose certain psychologically addictive risks imo. Depends on if you make money by being creative or not lol.

I hardly ever touch synthetics. I want to cultivate my psychic potential, rather than diminish it. I drink too much.

I...
Work-out daily or as much as possible,
Watch the E! Emtertainment channel as it airs some amusing shows on there.
Shop on eBay for new additions to my wardrobe and shoe collection.
Text my pals.
Sup on my home-made red wine.
Go party in town and flirt with da men.
Examine what is said, not him who speaks.

The Narcissist exists whereby every activity and relationship is defined by the hedonistic need to acquire the symbols of spiritual wealth, this becoming the only expression of rigid, yet covert, social hierarchies. It is a culture where liberalism only exists insofar as it serves a consumer society, and even art, sex and religion lose their liberating power.

I did shrooms, LSD, e, pcp, salvia, nutmeg, haha
It was a matter of desperately escaping my mind than going on a trip. I am the problem, not drugs. Drugs were never the problem, it was always me and my addictive personality and how much I used to hate myself. I respect and admire people who can use recreational drugs, especially hallucinogens, my favourite, and put it aside for a while. I know how deep the trips can get. I used to do shrooms and watch horror films like the exorcist and poltergeist. My mind was just so desensitized to everything, it didn't matter what I did anymore. Weed was what I used to come down, my saving grace. Not. I'm glad I'm over it now and that I can just live life on life terms. I loved the spiritual trips I went on but at the end life was always waiting for me. I hated that part enough to stop escaping reality. I know of Terrance Mckenna, he felt so guilty near the end of his life, thinking drugs did him in. Poor guy.

I felt very dizzy, vertigo, nauseated. My vision became clearer and colours were brighter. The high lasted about 6 hours. I felt stoned and also a bit of that trip out feeling. So.. a bit on the hallucinogenic side but still more of a stoned feeling. I ate the nutmeg by putting it in balls of white bread and eating it. I must have taken about 15 grams.

My mum would make nutmeg tea to cure her headache, and other similar ailments... now I know why :/
