 The blue planet

I thought I would share my trip on 2g of dried Hawaiians along with my wife last night.
Started around 9pm we ground up the shrooms and mixed in with some orange juice and gulp it down. We both had minimal food in the last 6hrs so they started coming on fast. We smoked a bowl and watched some Science channel on the come up.
We were watching some of the Blue planet series when satellite menu would start melting as I stared. We watched for an hour our so and the trip was going along great with great euphoria and enjoyable closed eye visuals.
But it wasn't the visuals or the euphoria that made this trip great, it was the deep discussion that followed. We started talking during another part in the blue planet series. We started talking about the human impact on our fragile planet. The conversation proceeded to get more emotional, with very powerful feelings of dread and wonder.
Its hard not to get chills most of the way though this series while sober. The experience while tripping is nothing but breathtaking. I would highly recommend.
The discussion went to the strive for wealth and success and how it is a viscous cycle that needs to be interrupted. People being pushed to make more money rather then be happy with what they have.
My intelligence has given me the opportunity to work a job at twice the pay. But at the sacrifice of working longer hours and a decent commute. More money only equals larger ecological footprint, we will always spend to our limit. Thus using more resources. Its hard not to feel that family pressure of success.
The discussion went to religion and how my family always applied religious pressure to me growing up. This makes it hard as an adult when you are a scientist and completely believe the modern explanations of how we got here. You still feel something that feels like god in your life but guilty at the same time for completely invalidating your parents belief system.
The conversation moved to me carefully explaining evolution and current theories on the origin of life to my wife. (She grew up in an area with a very decent lack of education.) I explained to her the fact that not even the passing of time would exist in the beginning. Which is hard thing to get your head around. She asked me about the origin of the universe and how something can come from nothing. We discussed ideas of how religion is just a rejection of pleasure in this life for a hope of an afterlife. This is a HUGE gamble. The odds seem to get worse and worse everyday for this game.
We started discussing how we have been so busy fighting over religious and political ideals that we don't realize the earth can shake us off like trash in a matter of seconds. We are here at the leausure of the systems that sustain us. These are controlled by the force of nature and the progression of life. Now is the time of living in this world, not living in an ideology of the uncertain return we will make to nothing. We will certainly return to nothing, from whence we came.
It would not surprise me if the whole universe one day,folds up and redeploys for the same reason that it did originally. My wife brought up an interesting point, evolution is just an observed series of events that are happening. It doesn't explain why it is happening, she wondered about how it could be an expression of a larger system. It seems like we can smash atoms to pieces and then smash those pieces again. What is amazing is maybe it never stops in either direction.
We shed many tears and grew a lot, I am still trying to take it all in. I can't believe they are trying to crush these things out of our of our lives. It is only to kill the amazing thought that they allow. These chemicals fit somewhere into our evolution, everything that is alive today has a role.
Cheers

Dig the post.
Sorry to focus on a minor part of your story, but, I love the Blue Planet series. It is one of the few things I enjoy watching while tripping, especially The Deep. Those bioluminescent fish are mind blowing. The oceans are a wild, wild place...

Incredible trip report! I love it! Me and my best friend have had this same kind of mental expansion and discussion on society and government, and how they relate to the individual. Also how connected humanity really is, we think we are alone, we think we are self reliant, when in fact, we NEED each other. Humanity as a whole is more like a fungus, we are all interconnected and part of something that is alive, that is much bigger when we are combined, than the sum of the parts would seem to be. If humanity could unite, we could do so much more, so much better...
We hippy flipped on 3g of cubes and a single good quality tab, that was the most deep, most mind bending, and rewarding trip I have had yet.
Again, GREAT write up.

Nice, planet earth/blue planet is a must while tripping in my book.
