I guess if you are not high enough you missed the true spiritual thing.
You are still stuck in your mind if you think it is about gaining experiences.

The true mind is happy just being and enjoying life.
The monkey mind looks for experiences and stimuli to keep it happy.

If you had really done the spiritual thing you would not need to ask.

Go to church. I don't know what religion you mean by the "spiritual thing" but maybe you can try another one that is different from the one that didn't work for you.

Make a health goal. Work out a lot and turn into G.I. Joe... that's what people in prison do.

Don't give up on the things you've already done... maybe you didn't do them right the 1st time which is why you may still feel lost after all of your experiences.

I found the best high to be the relief one feels after undergoing the ordeal known as the barium enema.

Also of interest is the recovery room after an Endoscopy, especially if you have nice nurses, unfortunately it's difficult to remember the details.

If you like reading books then try writing one. If you really have exhausted all avenues of experience now is the time to document it.

Also, Death is not the next high. It is the end, oblivion. Nobody should be in a rush to get there.

Try just slowing life down, taking stock of your surroundings and your possessions.
Take the time to think about what you have got and not what you want/need. Remove the things that are no longer needed. Have a mental/spiritual/physical spring clean. Then go forth to somewhere new and refill your brain with experiences and restock your place of residence with consumer crap.

That's what my friend sid told me before I came to Korea.

I guess you think I am talking from others experience. Well I am far enough along that I don't thnk it's about gaining stuff in the material world.
I speak about stuff I experienced.

It's your arrogance that is holding you back. Good luck. The one that knows and the one that copies sound the same and a beginner can't tell them apart.

Whatever that was, the Korean web blocker stopped it.

Sounds like your ego is pretty polished.

Experience is in the past, knowledge is based upon the past.

There's no such thing as spiritual evolution...what would that be? More knowledge? Greater experiences?

There's nothing wrong with the ego by the way, yours is coated Spiritual.

Most people that kill themselves (not while high tho) have a good reason for it. Ennui not accompanied with severe physical degredation is not a good reason. Tough it out, you tool.

I'm not thinking of killing myself, we kill ourselves eventually anyway. Death is like travelling, 'cept you go into a different environment instead of an airplane.

Dude, death is like falling asleep, not dreaming, and never waking up.

Have you really traveled?

or just gone on vacation?

Not trying to be rude, just another suggestion. Some people do some really far out stuff.

I was in the Guge Kingdom in far western Tibet: I met these two French guys, completely covered in dirt, riding bicycles. We started to talk. They had ridden from South India, through Pakistan and Afghanistan, into Tibet. I said "wow, how did you get visas/permits for that". Guy said "permits? we don't even have passports".
