A year or so ago I experienced a trip that was so loving that on the comedown I spent a few hours recreating an image of what I felt was depression leaving the body. It was my artistic go at how psychedelics let the negative emotions seep out your body. A lot of artwork I see with psychedelics show entities and what you see during your trip. I am more focused on the feeling and the release of negative energy that is in your body and what you experience during your trip.
This won’t be like most site’s always talking about happiness and always thinking positive. It is my belief that depression has weight to it. It sinks deep into your chest and slows your body down since its a heavy dragging feeling. It compresses your insides and like a black hole taking all the light and posititivity along with it.
And then….when psychedelics work within your body and you feel the energy coming back into your chest, your heart starts pumping harder, your brain starts igniting, its an electrical charge throughout your entire body. You suddenly become lighter, all that dark energy leaves your body and you feel lighter.
This is the release. It’s your breathing, its every single inch of your body getting goosebumps. Everything starts to melt away, its Frisson to the maximum. The more you feel the love the more you can feel all the negativity and heaviness leave your body. It’s as if toxins are dissippating through the pours of your skin, exiting your chest and in that dream like moment all the pain starts to vanish and this is when the healing starts. It’s as if all the pain is dissolving into thin air above you.
Some people may view this is some sort of escape drug but it isn’t. Once you start to feel the energy of life, the process of healing can start, it can be with extreme happiness or emotional pain that needs to be released. This can lead to incredible happiness to hysterical crying sessions to let the negative emotions out.
I wanted to show this as piece to people with depression that there can be hope, that there can be happiness in their life, with or without substances, but in this image, this is how psychedelics destroy depression and I wanted others to see this.
When it was posted on Reddit it gained upvotes and a huge surge in popularity until the Social Justice Warrior mods on Reddit came in. They made sure it wouldn’t reach the front page & it was put in a hate subreddit with barely any active subscribers. But this mod in particular was a very popular mod,in control of 50+ very big sub-reddit communities. She went on to say the facial features was of a white woman and that this image was extremely disrespectful since they aren’t allowed to wear headbands like I made in the image.
While 99% of the people were coming to my defense I still felt crushed since it wouldn’t be able to be seen by much of the site.The gatekeeping of everything and all this cultural appropriation is nonsense. We are a connected world, we all benefit from so many cultures. I had so much joy and happiness in creating this that after a few days it just sent me back to my depression.
In my own viewpoint the SJW’s are what I call the new “Nixonians” . Nixon was the same way, hated hippies, and he didn’t want any type of race mixing. What we see with SJW is basically no culture mixing. This is where you can go deep into some mental gymnastics with the type of thinking they can do. I can go on for ages with all the hipocracy within their beliefs, but I just don’t want to get into any of that incredibly negative stuff.
I am mad at myself, for deleting my account, and everything related to it. I’ll never let someone like that make me feel depressed or upset about something I feel was created with happiness. It’s another form of bullying and censorship.Which I promise I’ll never do again.
Never let anyone else limit your imagination or thinking.

We have to be careful today, with whom we talk about what, unless we are at a stage of self development, where we dont care anymore, what others think of us. The SJW movement is a dangerous one, it inhibits free expression of unique thoughts, it is a clamp down on the natural flow of energy, that wants to be expressed.
