MDMA can heal PTSD, and it did in me, but it didn't change my life. What it did was give me a chance to start again. It gave me breathing room, for the trauma of my life was smothering me. And in those clear months afterwards, I was able to finally see and hear for the first time, so when God broke through, I woke up and responded.

Otherwise, it's just turtles all the way down...

Thank you. x2 Lsd was also my gateway to God. Also I love me some Sturgill.

I can't give you a jaw dropping empirically sound argument backing why I believe in God. But what I can tell you, is in the bible it says ""Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine." (this one of my favorite lines in the bible bro.) because it means he knows you, he made you, he called you by name, and he wants you to feel that light, and not live another day in darkness. What good is it to him if you are lost, lonely, and living in darkness, how are you going to be a living walking talking testament to his mind bending abilities to take nothing and turn it into something. I get it. Trust me. I do. But I have been physically knocked on the ground by his presence and felt it inside me. In my heart, and vibrating through every extremity this is a trip that no hallucinogen has never been able to replicate. And I still struggle with apathy, and depression, and all the hellish **** that goes with life, but the will to get up, and not give up, and stand up and look up is more powerful than condemn myself to a hell that doesn't have to be.

Like ok with everything that has happened to me in the last 6 months that was painful and life shattering, not one time, did I denounce him, curse him, or deny him. I asked why not me? And I ask that everyday. And that alone has left enough fight and light inside of my spirit to not give up and even induced a change in my thoughts to where I needed to be kinder to people more loving, kindness costs nothing my nigga sprinkle that **** everywhere, because all we have is eachother man, and the goal is to reach one and teach one. So we can get where we are supposed to go together, all of us, every race color and creed because we were meant for so much more than this.

Good to hear your side. I think that it's easier to find religion when you're low than when you're high tbh. It gives you something meaningful to strive for, just like any hobby or part of your life.

RELIGION is the death of the relationship with him man. You are a hippy and you live in commiefornia, take a hike man smoke a dube, and take the bible with you. I am dead ass serious, and let your fingers guide you like stream of consciousness, really connect and see what verse he has for you. Might change your life. Might not, but what do you have to lose.

That was never a thing. You must be thinking of liquor. Liquor is the devil's butt sauce.

You won't find him when your high because the beginning of humility is being low. Realizing you aren't immortal you break you can be hurt. And earlier chula stated his idea of parenting was to let the child be and choose their own path. And alot of you agreed so I ask you this? IS GOD NOT THE ULTIMATE PARENT? Letting you choose who are and what you believe and leaving you free to make mistakes? In hopes that someday your own ego gets outta the way enough to for you to look for answers that are bigger than" I". The journey starts from within man and radiates outward. It's a domino effect.
