Hey decided to start this thread in response to idea by nature boy to discuss what SWIM psychedelic experiences has taught SWIM about to quote douglas adams "life the universe everything".
SWIM has had many intense beautiful psychedelic experiences and to sum up what they all meant would be very difficult but lets start with one trip that stands out in SWIMs memory and others can build upon this discussion with ideas experience etc.
SWIM remembers one day being on a hike with a few hits of nice acid in SWIMs head. As SWIM approached the peak of the mountain the acid began to peak. SWIM decided to lay down and just experience the beauty of the moment that was unfolding. His friends who were on mushrooms continued hiking a bit ahead and that was fine SWIM was confident in his ability to follow the trail.
So SWIM lays down and the sun is just reaching its height and gleeming all the plants around are just basking in the sunlight like SWIM everything was like diamonds reaching this glowing ecstatic beauty. SWIM remembers the exact moment everything peaked and reached some kind of synchronistic hook up the frequency of light sound and the energy of SWIMs mind reached a state of complete bliss just totally blown apart into the beauty of that timeless moment. SWIM began to think "wow it makes total sense why people worshipped the sun" before even knowing what science has taught us about the sun. All life as far as our ancestors knew was depandent on that large ball in the sky. But beyond that SWIM began to realize that "wow the sun really is like god" its atoms and energy is what made SWIMs and all other SWIMs life possible. After SWIM was just totally blissful and caught up with his friend and remembers saying "If the whole world just experience what SWIM just experienced there would be no war".
Now this experience should not be considered a delusion because what SWIM realized fits in with current models of the universe. The stars that blew up to create the sun and the sun created us really are our creators. Now no one knows what created the universe but SWIMs trip did not seek to answer that question because there is no answer right now to that question. SWIMs trip also didn't delude SWIM into believing things that SWIM otherwise would have a hard time believing it just make SWIM aware of that beautiful thought in such a way that it deeply moved SWIM to a closer understanding of nature.
Now SWIM has also had experiences that he considers potential delusions but before discussing those SWIM would like to hear some thoughts of others.
