The Oxygen is thin Achieving an altered state is usually thought of being achieved through drug use. Although, you can achieve a much higher conscious with drug use, an altered state is not limited to that of drug use only. Altered states can be achieved through meditation, pain, spinning, and exercise and so on. Furthermore, my younger self had experienced with many drugs in the past which all produced some kind altered sate. Though, none of those drugs could reproduce the altered state that the new choice of drug can now. In the last four to five years I have been experimenting with road cycling. Most people don’t even know what road cycling is. Road cycling is basically what you see happen at the Tour de France with cyclist like Lance …show more content…
There comes a point where all the pain, heavy breathing and thin oxygen don’t matter anymore. My body and mind become hyper focused on making sure I’m able to reach the 6000ft altitude mark. While in that state of mind I do believe I achieve non-duality. I do feel at one with the earth, nature and, the universe. I am miles away from the city where all social rules, vanities, and materialistic things are left behind. It’s just me my bike, the road, nature, and solitude. This gives me the ability to rid my mind of the body. As the great philosopher Socrates said, the body is a hindrance to our soul. In other words, The Body is a hindrance because the soul is always in search of knowledge and truth and our bodies have physiological needs that must be meet both mentally and physically. Therefore, those needs hinder our innate hunger for truth and knowledge and the ultimate metaphysical question of life. Ultimately, cycling for me is not only a sport but a way for me to meditate, and think of the bigger picture of life to reach an altered state of …show more content…
Wilson observatory. The Mt. Wilson Observatory is a real special place for me. It’s where Albert Einstein once visited, yes, the Einstein was here at Mt. Wilson where he conducted some smart people business. Furthermore, when I get to the top, after sweating, tons of climbing, being completely depleted of calories and carbohydrates, there is an amazing view of all of the surrounding cities and you can also see the beach, almost like a reward. On a good day when the clouds are low you can only see a sea of clouds, pure white clouds as far as your eyes can see, its an amazing place to be and always worth the effort. Once overlooking this view it makes you think about things you would never think back down at sea
The last place I went to was called, “Vista Point”. Vista Point was at the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was when but it was also a high place. But it was just another view of the Golden Gate Bridge. I don’t really have anything to write about this because it was the same thing but, it was just as good as the other places.
We will start of with the zipline which is actually one of the most elaborate ones in the world. They also have one of the few 4D theaters, which will literally put you on the edge of your seat. And of course the have the famous water park, that includes many different sub activities inside the one activity. Activities are the most common reason for someone to go anywhere and that is kinda the way it is for me, except I also would like to go to get away from my sisters.
Do you have a favorite tourist attraction? Personally mine would be Gatlinburg Tennessee. Although Gatlinburg is a long trip, there is just so many different exciting things to do. Gatlinburg is a great place to go to Cades Cove, go to Dolly World, and also go to The Comedy Barn.
It could be at Lake Minatare or even taking a walk down the Monument Pathway. I prefer the Wildcats because of the annoying wind everyone in the panhandle hates. It not only drowns out the sounds around me but because the sounds around me are gone my thoughts start to disappear. I suffer from Anxiety and Depression and when things start to get out of hand for me and my coping mechanisms are no longer working this is where anyone can find me. I prefer to physically hike through the Hills to find a place within to recollect myself and my thoughts. Though many choose to relax in other ways this has best help me. It also has helped me explore and discover parts of the Hills that I wasn’t aware were there. There is more to see than most people think there is at the
There are many national parks and monuments that can be explored on your next adventure. Picturesque views can be found close to home, on the coasts, or on the high plains and mountains of the west.
There are many special places scattered across America, such as the Grand Canyon, Kauai, Monument Valley, and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. I probably can’t name half of them. Suffice it to say we are blessed with many national treasures.
A truly mesmerizing destination would have to be Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Every aspect of that place triggers the curiosity of whoever may go there. Peering down the seemingly everlasting roads of tourism and adventure, no one could imagine all there is to do, or all there is to not do. Everyone from there that speaks has a sense of respect and kindness that anyone could admire. The scenery combined with the feeling of being home away from home enhances the amazement of visiting, but is incomparable to any of the hundreds of ways to spend time there. Whether it is relaxing to the alluring sounds of nature, or having an active but delightful abundant schedule, it is certain that this place is pure ecstasy. There is always something for anyone
Its many different obstacles can be a hard struggle to get through just like some of life’s struggles, but if you work hard and put your heart in it, it will be worth it in the end. Motocross is said to be a death wish but for me it is simply a way of
Fat biking, a relatively new side to our beloved sport of cycling, but definitely one that should not be overlooked.
It all started as a passionate love towards the sport, then came as a dream to be one of those guys you see on t.v riding their bikes down a mountain, then became reality, and then….I was there on those mountains. Breathless. Just staring down below me as if I was a bird looking down from the clouds. I could taste the pine from the trees below and beside me. The taste was so surreal. And for a split second I couldn't believe where I was, and who I had become. I was so happy to be where I was, and was sure my mom was looking down on me today, and smiling from ear to ear seeing her son fulfil his dream.
Throughout the history of the human species, we have been always wanted to know three basic questions: why we are here, where did we come from, and where do we go after this life? Whether we were created from an omnipotent being as in many religions, we happened by chance and made it to where we are through evolution, or maybe even something else. Whatever the case may be, humans have always been curious and wondered about our existence and consciousness. Along with these age old questions, also came the use of psychoactive drugs and other mind altering substances. In order to try to understand these questions, humans have experimented with drugs that alter their state of consciousness.
There are many natural places all over the world. One of the places I have been to, and really enjoyed, is Niagara Falls. This place is absolutely amazing. It has amazing sights and scenes, as well as other fun tourist attractions. Going on the tour at Niagara Falls taught me a lot about the site. I love this place because everytime I go there I am sent to this place that I could find, it just takes me away
I have come to love bicycles in the course of the past year. I am especially fond of mountain bikes, including my own. Riding it opens up a whole new world of opportunities and challenges for me. I am still fairly fresh to the whole mountain biking scene, so I push myself to become better with more experience. Riding is an outlet; it is something I can channel pent up energy through. I love the sport because it is a full body, soul, and mind experience that affects all five of the senses.
Biking is a great way of exercise, not only is it really beneficial, it can be really fun too!
Another place I have loved visiting was Los Angeles during a delivery trip with my dads commercial truck which we saw lots of cool stuff during our way down to Los Angeles we saw new cool stuff out in the west new foods , new culture we tried out this weird food I have never tried fried squirrel which was amazing food I wish they served in New York it kinda tasted like fried chicken. While we were out on this trip we saw one of tournaments for my favorite video game which was awesome to watch. My favorite team won during the tournament. After the tourney we delivered our load to the destination and while we were coming back we got more of our favorite food fried squirrel. We loved go out to Los Angeles its our favorite place to deliver a load to because you find so much stuff out to west and instead of the south which is much interesting to look for.
