Ever have an existential moment?

I get this often. It happens more when I'm alone and its quiet and it seems my body is not a part of me. Like I'm inside my body instead of being a part of it. Its the few rare moments that I really think the spirit is seperate from the flesh.

All the time actually.

I remember one time I had just finished a particularly tiring part of basic combat training, and we went back to our platoon area to sleep. I was just laying there, and it was the first night it hadn't rained, so I could actually see the stars while I laid there. Then it hit me like a brick. I came to realize how we were smaller than ants on the "grand scheme". I realized how small and finite our actions were (however significant to us). I almost felt like dropping everything I was doing, and just saying why, but then I came back to my senses. Regardless of how infinitely small we were, my drill sergeant would still get pissed, so I kept doing what I was told.

That pretty much sums up almost every moment of my life (even the moments when I wasn't high). Actually, I'm still trying to believe that this isn't true for everyone.

So if you had this realization AFTER a mushroom trip it would be OK?

C'mon man, we're human. Maybe some people don't do this, whatever.

I think you looked at your hands while high and asked it! ; )

Yeah, one time I actually left my body and kicked myself in the testicles.

No, really, that has happened to me.

That just happened to me, I was reading your post and I was like, what the **** is this. And I was sober...

you can't remember anything! and yes they come back, you talking about it summons them.............
