Coming of Age

As I went through the end of high school we learned of tales of the past's coming of age ceremonies. Throughout all time coming of age has meant to learn the things we need for making the future of our life successful. Weather that was hunting, cooking, or the making of fire it was always based around the future of the person’s life. In this day and age more and more people are having a coming of age experience which heavily involves psychedelic drugs. Because of this I feel that my generation’s greatest power will be the power of abstract thought and mental control beyond that of any previous form of human life. I feel that this generation should not be called generation x or y or the digital age but it should be called the generation of the mental infinite. This is the age where people will learn what that extra 90 percent of our brains is used for.

For me there is a dramatic break in my memory from the time before I had taken psychedelic drugs to the time afterward. The break isn’t how you would expect from what is taught in our society of the impact of drugs on the mind. For me the memories from before were as if I was asleep and dreaming, I had no conscious control over what was happening I was just watching myself while at the same time I had some subconscious ability to steer in one direction or the other. I hadn’t yet learned how to be conscious and state facts in my head in a logical manner for the purpose of self expansion in the future. Now I do not take the memories of things that happened to me to be of any more importance than the things I have seen happen to anybody else. I view myself and everybody around me as one person when I think I think for the larger portion.

When I am living life and things are happening to me and around me I place no extra weight on things that happen to me verses things that happen to those around me.

I analyze the impact and the outcome and make new sets of rules or guidelines for me that reflect what has been experienced by my consciousness, not by my physical being.

Doing this makes it so that when I am surrounded by different circumstances and large amounts of people I am able to enhance my wisdom at a more accelerated rate than any of the other people around me.

These people who are in the same situation often would be distracted by the entire stimulus being given to them and not know which is important.

There is so much more to be learned from what others experience than from what you experience on your own
