1) Sober mindset: Linear, but definitely not sequential; I travel through a lot of conscious thought during any activity (including conversation) and many times I'll say things that people think are "random" but I can explain how I got from A to B (or in some cases Q) if people ask me.

2) Stoned: Much more present in the moment.  I lose trains of thought very easily, even mid-sentence. I think this comes from trying to think in the same fashion as when I'm sober, but I can't control the tangents from taking over my entire consciousness, and so I just stop talking while I process all of the input.  I'm not as hard on myself when I'm high, so much of the social filtering that we are conditioned to have (and mine is limited already) goes right out the window and I'll discuss ANYTHING with no sense of embarassment...like  a mild rolling mentality.

3) Tripping: Very connected with the world around me.  Everything has significance in the moment, and can be applied to life in general.  Because of this, even basic sentences and conversation take on great meaning.  I become a philosopher when I trip, and a social scientist, and a spiritualist.  Anytime I trip, I am less jaded, and I feel like everything is fresh and new and full of possibility.

Thanks FRACTAL

What about you? You can't get away with not answering your own question!

Well, it's kind of hard to judge for me.

I take adderall so my "normal" state of mind is a little tweaked out.

I am very philosophical, my mind is always coming up with deep revelation and epiphanies.

I definitely am optimistic but my OCD can sometimes try to show me a cynical/negative point of view on things. I have been working on working with/kicking my OCD's ass.

I try to look at thing with a attitude.
I have anxiety/OCD, and sometimes it acts up and sometimes look at things negatively. My introspection can become very delusional and other times it can be beautiful.

I feel like I always have all these points of view inside of me to look at things from. Kind of like this Alex Grey painting.




I can really relate to Strawberry Fields forever. That song just blows my fucking mind cause sometimes I feel like it is just a musical interpretation of my own mind.

When I looked up what meaning the song had to John I knew for sure I hit the nail on the head with that one.

He said the song is pretty much introspection set to music.

I feel like I can trace my flow of thoughts and they always wind up flowing into all these different beautiful truth and meaning until it just blends into each other into a state of brilliant know nothingness.

Lately I have been focusing on relaxing and just being. Having fun. Flowing with just the good thoughts/vibes. Before I would always have to think the unpleasant thoughts to death.


Certain drugs bring out certain/different sides of me and alter my flow of consciousness one way to another to a whole new flow. Some more than other and I look forward to find the right ones.


I have been noticing how certain drugs/activities can really open your mind and allow you to travel out of your comfort zone to show you a new way of looking at things.


How's that?

that is based off of a meditation experience he had wearing one of those isolation masks he invented, the mind fold.
