    How can one experience pure joy without the contrast of sorrow? Stop trying to personify God. Try smoking DMT, then call yourself an “athiest”.

    I dare you

      You don’t need to experience bad things to enjoy good ones… They are separate unlinked things. Like you don’t need to have tasted sour in order to have the ability to taste sweetness.

        No specific religion, but I saw evidence of a beautifully designed, perfect “machine” all around me. I felt in tune with some sort of higher power, whatever you want to call it.

      Wait, so experiences you have while disabling your faculties responsible for rational thinking should for some reason overrule decisions made while you’re not under influence and in sound judgment? What kind of advice is that?

      - Cats can speak English, dude, trust me. Once I got real high and totally understood everything this cat was telling me.

      as a fellow psychedelics enjoyer - I’m an atheist. I can understand how psychedelics could cause you to become a believer of some religion or overall spirituality. But my man, you were on drugs. Yes they’re great tools for self growth and really fun too, but everything you saw came from within your head. You’ve found within yourself the need for a belief that there’s a diety or some sort of grand plan behind it all sure, but you did not find god.
