Psychedelic “Surrealism”

“They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” — Frida Kahlo

I do the same thing when it comes to writing, creating, living, etc…

All I share, write, create, speak, etc, is all real. All true.

It may seem surreal or unbelievable to many “normal” people, but all I share is true.

I don’t need to argue with anyone about the truth of my creations.

When you know you’re right, you don’t live to prove anything.

You just live & enjoy life.

“I don’t paint dreams or nightmares, I paint my own reality.” —Frida Kahlo

Psychedelic Earth

“Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”
—Khalil Gibran

You and I are as connected with the Earth & Universe as clouds are connected with the sky. 

We look at clouds in the sky and know that they are a part of the sky, but often we look at ourselves and other humans as separate from our surroundings, but in reality, and this is science – we are all connected with the Earth, each other, & the Universe much more than we can perceive with human minds. 

Nature has a mind, and it is not human. 

Nature knows us, humans, better than any human knows nature, and nature loves when we recognize our connection with nature & enjoy the many gifts nature has given us, such as the dirt, grass, rain, trees, sky, sun, and everything this beautiful planet has created.

We are not separate from nature. 

We are all one with nature.

Psychedelic Optimism

“It’s very hard for people sometimes to figure out whether I’m an optimist or not. Let’s get something straight here. I am the most optimistic person you have ever met. I’m absolutely convinced that there is nothing wrong, and that nothing can go wrong, and that nothing will go wrong, and that if something needs to be done you will find yourself doing it.”
-Terence McKenna

It may be hard to believe that everything that happens in life is perfect, because reality often doesn’t match our expectations, but I agree with Terence that nothing is wrong. 

I not only agree with Terence but have experienced this realization multiple times – my first time being during my first psilocybin trip. 

It’s an experience that transcends human suffering (temporarily) showing you (it showed me – it was a feeling – a whole body feeling, that everything is perfect. It wasn’t words – it wasn’t a thought, it was a whole body knowing, a connection. I was connected with something completely, and it was complete bliss. Total understanding. Total joy.) 

yea, it can show you that, but it doesn’t happen for everyone.

It’s an alien-type experience – at least in comparison to today’s standards of living.

& although it’s alien to many, it’s real, & it’s a beautiful experience — Feeling that everything is perfect.

Psychedelic Visions

“…The psychedelic inner astronaut sees things which no human being has seen before and no human being will ever see again. But in fact this has no meaning unless it is possible to carry it back into the collectivity…”
-Terence McKenna

Everyone who has taken enough of a psychedelic to break on through to the other side knows they have just experienced something ineffable.

The psychedelic experience is often forgotten after one has the experience – because the experience is like a dream. It’s surreal, but it happens in our waking state.

So if we want to turn these waking dreams into reality, integration is necessary. This is the reason I created The Psychedelic Trip Journal.

The Psychedelic Trip Journal is one of the best resources for integrating your psychedelic experience — To integrate your dreams into your daily life.

To clearly communicate your unique psychedelic dreams & visions first with yourself & then if you want, with the world

The Weird Psychedelic State

“What is always left out of descriptions of the psychedelic state, the deep psychedelic state, is how weird it is.”
-Terence McKenna

If you’ve tripped hard you know how weird the experience can get, but did you know it can get weirder?

& for those who have never used psychedelics or drugs and have kept the same mind your whole life, you can’t even imagine how weird the deep psychedelic state can get. 

Even for those who have used psychedelics, when they come back to “reality”, it’s impossible or close to impossible to describe some of what was just experienced.

^This is one reason I wrote The Psychedelic Trip Journal. It’s a journal I wish I had going into my first psilocybin experiences, and is great for all psychedelic trips. It helps people integrate what they learn during their trips — for the purpose of remembering what they learned to integrate it into their daily lives.

Because the deep psychedelic state is beyond weird.

It’s beyond space & time. 

It’s ineffable, but it might just eff you…haha…in the best of ways…
