One does not feel constrained by normal fears or apprehensions, so one throws oneself into new activities with reckless abandon. One feels overly confident in one’s abilities and engages in all kinds of risk-taking — financially, sexually, interpersonally, legally. Later, we would find out, politically. These activities have one embarking on dubious schemes which rarely pan out.

A land of light and darkness

Despite these negatives, the corollary of this mental activity is that one’s ability to think and see more clearly on some issues is enhanced, precisely because one’s fears can pollute one’s perception and apprehension of things.

It is enlightening to remember that Sigmund Freud, among other notables in history, experimented with cocaine. At one point, Freud was heartily endorsing its use to his colleagues; he was waxing expansively about its benefits for mental life and clarity of consciousness. “Waxing expansively” does happen to be one of the things one does on cocaine, incidentally. Of course, Freud changed his position on cocaine’s benefits later. No doubt his use led him to see its face of darkness as well.

PART TWO: CULTURE WAR — GENERATIONS

Page 94

…arise, for persons who — perhaps because they are young, or whatever — are unusually undefended, more sensitive, and more open to actual reality.

In this state of heightened awareness of the inner world of oneself and others, one perceives oneself and others as puppets or windup dolls. One can become aware of one’s actions as pathetically seeking to satisfy very old needs, which are totally irrelevant to the present context, with others who are similarly and robot-like also seeking to satisfy very different past deprivations. In common parlance, it is said that most actions of people are just “games.”

Hence, part of the horrifying nature of this perception, on the recollective-analytic level of awareness, is that indeed people are not truly relating to each other at all, that they are “like people trapped in spacesuits trying to communicate with each other through the layers of barriers between them.” That last is the way one Sixties Generation member described communication between people, as reported in a book by Kenneth Keniston titled The Uncommitted (1963). That book delved into the psychology of the alienated, the non-conformist or hippie, segment of Sixties Youth.

That perception of alienation, dismal existentialism, and the futility of personal connection was happening earlier, also, with the beatniks, along with the marijuana use of the Fifties.

…amphetamine, uppers, “whites,” and so on. They repress Pain extraordinarily well.

Building castles in the sky

They are euphoriants and cause one to have the feeling that one’s mental capacities are expanded. One feels that one can envision projects and outcomes precisely. So, one expends oneself in organizing and preparing for great achievements, which rarely are embarked upon.

Free from fear, reckless, overconfident, risk-taking

Since these drugs repress Pain, creating an amped state of mind more than normally able to fend off unwanted emotional material, they repress the normally present residue of fear, with its attendant caution in the face of activities outside of one’s comfort zone requiring forethought and anticipation. One does not feel constrained by normal fears or apprehensions, so one throws oneself into new activities with reckless abandon. One feels overly confident in one’s abilities and engages in all kinds of risk-taking — financially, sexually, interpersonally, legally. Later, we would find out, politically. These activities have one embarking on dubious schemes which rarely pan out.

Houston and termed the recollective-analytic. At this level, enhanced sensory experience opens the door, so to speak, to enhanced inner awareness. This enhanced inner awareness can include the awareness of the underlying motivations of oneself and others, and this is mostly not pretty. However, this angst is actually part of the Ego death that becomes more important with the psychedelics.

Let me explain: Because the normal person is motivated mostly by past, or primal, pains or traumas and is acting out scripts or roles that are pathetic attempts to re-create or struggle with events that happened a long time ago, the normal person is not really in the present. The person is, as the great religions have described it, in ignorance, in samsara, in dukkha, and is basically unreal. The person, as humanistic psychologists have described, is inauthentic and is acting out games or scripts, about which they are totally unconscious. They have identified with these scripts, roles, goals, and motivations — the outgrowth of a completely unique set of past experiences of primal pain and trauma — and haven’t a clue as to their arbitrary character. Let alone do they realize that other people are similarly acting out their own unique roles which are just as arbitrary and, well yes actually, pathetic.

However, pot, just like LSD, can eventually open one to the horrifying perception of the inauthentic and unreal nature of ordinary social behavior. Sometimes even with initial usage can this perception…
