A broad analysis of mind and effects of psychedelics


This article, as the name suggests is my attempt to analyse the human mind and understand it's working, having a profound understanding about a skill or an art or a machine gives you dexterity in working with that field/ instrument. Having an understanding of the paragon of machines in the universe (My mind think itself to be the best damn machine in the universe) can give you some advantage in working with it. Also, I would give you anecdotes about my encounters with psychedelics, the effects of other substances and meditation on the mind.

 In the summer of 2009, I read a book about mind, it was a non-fictional scientific book explaining the working of minds and how we can increase its productivity. As I was not a fervid reader of any kinds of books except comics, this was my first book on a serious topic. The intent of reading this book was to find ways for increasing my cognitive capacities and abilities, a pursuit which has engulfed me ever since. On that particular moment, I could not have anticipated that this book would have such a profound effect on me, and I would become obsessed with understanding the human mind. Post that I was always eager to learn more about human mind and consciousness, either I was gathering knowledge about this field, or I was wondering about it at times, but yes this mystery of human mind was always on my mind.

A strong resurgence of this topic happened recently when I got an e-cigarette from my dad.

The Good Boy Image.

Sure you can get a ‘A’ with this, Sure you can have good rapport with old folks with this and sure you would be an example for small children with this. But you know what you can’t get...Answer- A hot chick. I am going to tell you a story. Once upon a time there lived a boy, let’s call him…I don’t know…‘boy’…he was a good boy and always have been. Simple, no show off, caring, sensitive, loving, kind, respected girls…you got the idea naa… Now the story goes like this , there were girls around him who use to play with him, tease him, make fun of him, flirt with him(ya this happens with good boys only)…he use to reciprocate but in a very calm , good and noble manner, but he had a curse due to this ‘good boy image’ he can’t get all feely- feely with girls, can’t have a girlfriend as he was worried what his parents/teachers think if they got to know about it(stupid right?), and he has seen all the ‘stud’ types in the class were the one who really gets the girl . But this ...

Generalize

If you're reading this (and understand the content of my blogs), I assume you're at least in your twenties. That means you've already spent a significant amount on this planet. Your consciousness has taken a physical form in this universe and you have by your own experience or most common in today's time, vicariously (Through social media, TV, internet), have learned some rules of this universe. You have either willingly or unwillingly, consciously or unconsciously, learned many rules of nature, or rules of social conduct, customs and traditions of your family, society or even country. These rules, didn't became rules just like that, many people took actions and learned the effects of their actions, decided that those actions were either good or bad for them or for the society at large. Through rigorous empirical testing and experimenting with various ideas, philosophy and examples. Humans learned to some extent, what's right and wrong. This learning of the d...

Estranged

This is a story of a girl. like many others on this blog. and I promise this is as interesting as the others. This incident changed me a little, my inclination and desire towards love and lust have changed. I'm a better person now, hopefully. I think I have learned something about myself from this experience. "Salle Shahrukh Nahi Emran Hashmi ban" It's strange how strangers become friends, friends become long-term friends, long-term friends become best friends, best friends become the best confidant, sometimes confidants become lovers, but many times lovers become strangers. Well, to tell you the story from the beginning, I would have to take you back to summer of 2008, 10 years back from the day I am writing this blog. I had just completed my 9th class and was going to 10th, I had a best friend, I had my crushes, I had my video games, life was perfect, well almost, in retrospect. So like every school child new years brought new opportunities. There w...
