>hallo back escher &anyone else-
just stating a peculiar thread to serotonin levels - i never took LSD myself either,but have friends who described simliarities of experience. may also be a complete non-sequitur. ?? ?for escher i AM glad you find life textured &inspiring becz of your senses{how many we have}.
i wish i could mentally convert my auditory hallucinations to better experience,but i can't.is interesting what's involved in the brain, so complex. then concepts,beliefs,thinking - who can follow? add in death &what's after - eh. there're worlds to what we DON'T know,too,to what we do.
sometimes,trauma changes the brain physically how it secretes or inhibits chemicals for the rest of a person's life. they keep finding new ties. alcoholism,depression,like you said childhood et ceteras.. etc. {not to say for every one it's - }but that's sort of the beauty of life too,that sort of continual re-making the Self. on a +note, maybe that means we can shape &re-shape our selves/bodies/minds - maybe WE can reverse the effects of stress or outside trauma &change the quality. maybe that's how "thinking positive" works for so many people. too,in big depressions, the way out sometimes actions help the mind in obtuse ways.
i sort of like{most of}the mysteries in life,they add a background colour to the dance we do as we live our time.
take care,all - misk<< Hello Misk> > Ah-so....> (Can't say that i was taking much LSD as a child ;) but low seratonin MIGHT have been a factor... had a tough childhood. Wondering also lately about the hippocampus and hipothalamus burnout effects caused from unrelenting threat/stress for years...) P.S.: LSD's effects of later year was more like those described in "DMT The Spirit Molecule" .... hmm?
