Frustration with the Collective Consciosness

[Bodhisattva500]

I am getting sick of the same old BS with my friends/family in my hometown and the same way that everyone thinks. I call this the "collective consciosness" of a culture. This CC is a way that the majority of a people in society think that other people should act.Everyone is subjected to it. When I try to explain to my fellow mates that "perhaps whats important to you isnt important to me" it doesnt register with anyone but if someone said this to me I think I would understand because everyone is different even though they might not act that why because they want to remain in good respect of the people around them. But DAMN IT, I can not deny TRUTH no matter how hard i try so thats just they way it is. I think the way I think is a direct result of my drug use, specifically hallucinogens.Im distressed, damn it.What Im curious about is if anyone else feels alienated from their friends becauuse of what they have learned from entheogens? I just wish other people around me could be on my levely and their are a few but they are real. Oh well just show love to everyone and try to bring the best out of people as much as you can. Optimism will never fail....Oh well mates our good nature willl prevail........

Odd, I dont even remember writing this.....xanax and whiskey. Not bad in the coherence factor considering my intoxication. I dont even really know what I was upset about!

Yeah, I feel this way more often when I'm high than when I'm
straight, too. I think when I'm tripping I just feel like I want to
share this beautiful experience with everyone, and I get upset thinking
about friends and family who have refused to trip with me, or wouldn't
even consider it. On my last trip I remember obsessing about this quite
a bit, and vowing to have a "serious talk" with some of my friends and
try and convince them to give psychedelics a try. But in the rational
light of day, the urgency of this faded quite a bit....

Hey,
I am in agreement. I to am so sick of my family and some of my friends and other townsfolk and my hometown in general. Hence my moving to holland in a few weeks, I need a culture and general society change. Weither it's for the better or worse, I just need a damn change.

My drug use probably effects how I feel.

I live in holland and except for the weed not being illegal and easier rules about mushrooms and stuff it's just the same... I'm getting the feeling this whole western world doesn't make any sense... The only thing we do is stress about getting to work, make enough money and watching moviestars do dumb things and hear gossip about them. I don't know what the hell is important anymore...

I guess I just need a change Gijs_b ^.

You'd probably enjoy ireland and I'd probably enjoy holland just because of the changes. Although I doubt how any anyone can enjoy ireland
