I realize this is kind of a weird and inprecise question, but bear with me here. <br> <br> Some background - I've done a lot of things in my short time on this planet in an attempt to further understand myself, everyone else, and generally just become a genuinely interesting and understanding human being. Not to mention have a bit of fun along the way. I've been around the world and seen poverty, excess, and everything in between. I've taken a myriad assortment of weird drugs, always safely, always with the intent of learning about the inner reaches of my mind. I've dabbled with reasonable success in the arts of lucid dreaming and "astral projection" (with and without drugs), keeping in mind that these are scientifically explainable aspects of conciousness and not supernatural mumbo-jumbo. In the past year or so I've been messing around a bit with meditation, and getting serious about it is my resolution for 2006.<br> <br> So! What types of things have you done that have totally blown your mind? What sorts of things have changed the way you think, act, feel, or just your general perception of the world around you? "Expanded your conciousness"? I'm looking more for slightly offbeat things than the "when I saw my child for the first time" stuff that happens to everybody. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.30821 Sat, 14 Jan 2006 22:14:54 -0800 conciousness drugs luciddreaming borkingchikapa
