Topic: programming during trips
I'd like to share something in hopes to get some feedback. A one time friend called me to tell me about a fantastic mushroom trip that he took and how he spoke to god and how god gave him all the answers that he ever needed. But instead of looking like he''d been enlightened by the trip he turned very negative afterwards-currently he verbally abuses his children to the point of his ex-wife needing to consult with a lawyer. This seems odd behavior for someone who supposedly had their mind expanded by psychedelics to gain deep insights into human nature-leading me to believe that he was programmed during the trip-possibly by reptoids and also is now possessed by a negative entity. I've been totally sober for 17 years now, taking the advice of my psychic development teacher and have meditated regularly for about this long as well-no need for drugs whatsoever-so perhaps this is what my teacher was indirectly warning me about-getting too open via drugs and having all sorts of nastiness pour in. I'm also suspicious of DMT trips that I've read about-esp. Terence McKenna's and the machine goblins he encountered. It all seems so artificial-perhaps a deeper aspect of the matrix mimicking some 'benign' realm-and one quite dangerous because the tripper assumes they are becoming liberated from conditioning when quite the opposite is happening. Has any one else have simiar suspicions? Have you witnessed someone you cared about change like this?
