I'm pretty sure everyone knows that Pope John Paul II has died. I'm not Catholic or even consider myself a religious person at all, but I'm sure many people here do.
So with that in mind, I thought I'd post something that I had posted earlier on another site, realted to the whole "spiritual/God" realm. (it recieved no feedback there, beyond a guy interested in talking about "crystals").
Just another topic to talk about:
(This story in no way condones teenage drug use, but my experiences always worked out for me :))
Here's a story:
Me and my friends, 17 years old, got the opportunity to drop acid for
the first time. We scored, drove out to a lake access/park type deal
and put the little tabs of paper in our mouths.
The next few hours gradually became a completely mad adventure, mostly horrible,
but it was pretty damn interesting and really funny at times.
The whole thing wound down with myself, my friends Mike and Randy
lying in a hastily set-up tent. I was freaking out, Randy was moaning
in the corner, and Mike was saying "I'm thinking up new geometric
shapes!" Then he grabs each side of the tent and announces "Look, I
can make the tent breath! It's like we're inside a huge lung!"
AHHHHHH!!!
I freaked out and got the hell out of there. Made my way to our friend
Jay's shitty old Camaro (to this day, I don't know where Jay was
during this time).
I locked the doors and curled up in the front seat, hoping for
everything to return to normal.
BAM!
Suddenly the world has gone away and I'm in the middle of some crazy,
swiss cheese type labyrinth.
Out of one of the "tunnels" comes this little spark-like wisp of light, like
tinkerbell or something.
It talked to me.
Not in some dramatic, otherworldly kinda way, just kinda like a pretty cool guy.
"Hey! You're freaking out right now. You're safe here. Just calm
down."
It zipped away and I faded out, waking up some time later.
I got out of the car, saw my friend Jay (finally) standing on a hill
looking up at the sky.
I walked up next to him, we're still both "post acid" and not talking,
and I looked up. We saw the stars just as the sun was rising, and we
watched as they faded away and the morning arrived.
It was very weird, but I really do think something, I guess, beyond
the norm talked to me (Hey, I'm the first to admit that sounds
crazy).
It's just something that's always stuck with me, but it was most
likely just the results of teenage drug experimentation (I did acid
once more after that, "sparky" didn't come back).
Anybody else have any weird, possibly metaphysical experiences?
