HOW to become MOAR CREATIVE
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 1st, 2010 11:41 AM Author: hairraiser bat shit crazy halford private investor Even when I engage in activities that lend themselves to creativity (writing stories, playing guitar, etc.), I either hit a wall, or produce something that isn't creative. Sometimes, I'll end up producing things that are just stupid, thinking they're creative at first.
Marijuana doesn't help much. 90% of the time, I just want to listen to music, jack off, and eat ice cream.
I'm not sure about alcohol, but I think it just makes me lazy and have a short attention span.
I'm not open to trying stimulants or hard drugs, but have psychedelic mushrooms worked for anybody? |

Maybe quit playing your own music, writing, whatever, and resign yourself to playing other people's shit. Eventually, hot girls will wanna do you anyway. |

I lift weights to get stronger, so why can't I do things to become more creative? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411466&forum_id=2#15939816) |

Date: September 1st, 2010 11:44 AM Author: Mind-boggling messiness acid and psilocybin will increase your capacity for connection, association, and metaphor, which are a few of the essential things about creativity; they will also make you less afraid. acid is also a dopamine agonist, which will make you much more kickass as well. the problem is that during the trip, it's unlikely that you will be artistically creative; even if you have a sensory trip, it's likely to be kind of childlike (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411466&forum_id=2#15938307) |

Date: September 1st, 2010 12:00 PM Author: Mind-boggling messiness no, it's mind-opening in a very broad and general way and the dopaminergic effects at least last for a few days. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411466&forum_id=2#15938433) |

Date: September 1st, 2010 12:07 PM Author: hairraiser bat shit crazy halford private investor Doesn't this deplete your dopamine stores and send you into a "low" for awhile? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411466&forum_id=2#15938487) |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 12:09 PM Author: Mind-boggling messiness no; a dopamine agonist activates the dopamine receptors without the use of actual dopamine. the low is not a crash like with coke or caffeine or even sugar, it's just that the effects of the drug have finally worn off, and losing them can feel pretty horrible depending on where you were at when you took them and how the trip went.

Date: September 1st, 2010 12:17 PM Author: Mind-boggling messiness this seems incredibly unlikely to me, and if it happens it's probably only with very, very frequent use. i'm more an advocate of a trip when you're feeling "lost," "disconnected," "lethargic," "depressed" etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411466&forum_id=2#15938548) |

Date: September 1st, 2010 12:21 PM Author: Mind-boggling messiness an agonist for a certain chemical is a different chemical that can bind to the receptors for that chemical, mimicking the natural chemical and triggering a response in the receptor.

All I know is that having an innate talent in something that puts you ahead of so many people + experimenting within your known bounds and perhaps on the fringes is what leads to new ideas or at least helps a lot.
How you do this...hell if I know man for the OP |
