Acid Disassembled and Reassembled
(2)
Both the upside and the downside of an Acid trip are fun, but totally different kinds of fun.
The upside is sensual. The downside is mystical. The peak (if any) is actually a 'plateau' wherein absolutely nothing you experience makes any sense whatsoever. You endure this phase whether you like it or not. I recommend the (peak) experience if only as an example of something you want to avoid in the future. Once you experience this phase you will recognize the approaches to this phase in later trips and you will understand how truly precious your life actually is and you will hate it that you must now say goodbye to your previous life. You may even say to yourself something like, 'If you ever do this to me again I will kill you.'
But there will come a time when chaos gives way to the realization that you are now coming down from an LSD trip. Oh Joy!! You will watch in fascination as the buzz and beauty aspect of the trip fades and the reassembly phase begins. You will witness your self being reassembled. This will happen as about the fourth hour begins. The next four hours after that you will be astonished by how godlike you are becoming as you regain your normal everyday capabilities. After about 12 hours you will be restored to your 'normal' state, but the memory of the experience will never leave you. You can't wait to do it all again. And you will. You will do it over and over again until you get enough of it or your drug sources dry up.
My recommendation is that the Acid Experience become something like Catholic 'communion,' but that it be done only every six months, at the Summer and Winter Solstices. An alternative would have the experience done every three months including the equinoxes. I don't think it would be religiously advisable to do it more often.
