First let me give you some quick background. I used to be christian for a large part of my life. My family is very christian and will often remind me of it. I have long since abandoned that path because by in part, organized religion is a weird thing, and I didn't want to be constantly living my life in fear of damnation by not living my life to a certain standard. It's been about 7 years since I've given that ideology a second glance.

So with that, last night I decided to be a little creative. I had some magic mushrooms I've been holding onto and I decided that I would take 1.5g and work on a painting I have been working on for a few months. After working on my painting for a bit I was starting to reach my the peak so I decided to kick back on my bed and just enjoy the music and the places my mind was trying to reach. I started contemplating the universe, and the idea of a soul and soul mates and stuff like that. I came to the conclusion that the most wonderful thing in life is love and to live in love. After contemplating for awhile, another voice/being, distinctly different then my own consciousness, and it basically said, "You already know what love is. Love is why I created you. Love is what I give to you and want from you. Love is Jesus." At this point I started flipping out. Did God talk to me? Did he tell me that the answer to life is to live in love with him? Or was I trying so hard to look for the answer that my mind rationalized the religion I was trying to avoid?

I'm seriously very shaken up about this. I dunno what happened but it feel very real. Granted this could be a moot point since I was under the influence of a psychedelic, but mushrooms have often been used as tools to communicate with higher powers. Maybe I just finally sat back and listened for the first time.

I dunno if anyone can help, so to speak, but I wanted to share my experience because I have no friggen clue what to make of it.

you wont be able to get an answer from any of us. maybe you did, maybe you didnt. all comes down to you. there is nothing wrong with believing god spoke to you. he may or may not be out there, but if you believe he spoke to you, id say go with it and toss the idea around in your head. all part of your journey

It's definitely something to deliberate about. That's a pretty interesting philosophy, "if you want to believe what you heard do it."

I think I'm going to chalk it up to influences. Because the thing that is causing me the greatest doubt is, what if I had been raised in a Buddhist, Muslim, etc. home? Would/could I have had a similar experience with that religion's beliefs as an exposition of their fundamental values? When you think about what was "said" to me, it was basically core Christian beliefs in a nutshell. It's not like I heard a specific message.

for real, at least I wouldn't be banging my head figuring out what to do. But they do say genuine knowledge comes with great effort.

Thanks for listening all.
