Last night my friend called me up and told me that she had got hold of some shrooms. I had been wanting to try magic mushrooms for a long time now, but they are hard to find in my area. So I rushed over and picked up 4 grams of the dried, blue, mushies. I am not sure what kind they were but they had dark-blueish stems and lovely golden caps.
I drove home with the fungi in hand, thinking the whole time of what I thought the experience might be like. Regardless, I knew that this would be a night to remember. I got home, waited for everyone to go to bed and prepared a large glass of water. Excitement built up in my heart as I walked to my room where the mushrooms were waiting to be devoured.
I opened the bag. "Finally, the time has come" I thought to myself. I picked up a stem and examined it, trying to take it all in. I licked it once just to get a taste of what I was in for, but I really didnt taste much. So, with a brief moment of hesitation, I finally crammed it into my mouth and chewed on it for a while, it tasted kind of like a uniquely, moldy, pistachio. Actually I didnt think it tasted too horrible.
I quickly gobbled up all of the stems and then decided to move on to the crispy, golden caps. The caps tasted much worse, and very bitter. I ingested them as fast as I could and quickly gulped it down with some water. Now that I had eatin all of the shrooms, all that was left to do was flip on the t.v., turn out the lights, and wait.
About 20 to thirty minuets later I began to feel the effects kicking in. my body felt strange, and a smile crept over my face, everything was funny, and I became very fidgety. I could not touching and rubbing my face, I felt like it was important. I thought this was great and I was having the time of my life, little did I know that there was still a very wild ride left to come.
I became tired of the flashing television and decided to listen to some music. I put my earphones in and listened to The Flaming Lips, It was good at first, but I began to grow very uncomfortable because I felt as if I was trapped in a big rotating hexagonal prism. This freaked me out so I took out the headphones and lay in the dark with the fan on. I became very hot so I striped down naked to cool off.
As I lay in the dark, naked, I kept staring at my closet door. It began to bend and grow fat and round. I tried closing my eyes but I still saw the door even with my eyes closed. Then a phrase seemed to repeat its self over and over in my head. A voice said "This isnt about you!" for what seemed like hours, even thought it was probably only about 10 minutes.
And thats when I realized, these fungi had grabbed me by the balls and were going to do whatever the hell they wanted with me. I was weak and helpless. All I could do was experience this and try as hard as I could to understand the lesson that was being taught to me.
After drinking so much water earlier I really had to piss, so I stood up for the first time, and instantly fell down to the ground, my balance was completely off. I stood back up and stumbled around in the dark looking for some sweats to put on so I could make the journey across the house to the bathroom. I began to panic because I couldnt see my way, but then the voice told me that it would be OK, I just had to turn on the light.
I turned on the light, and saw what a huge mess I had made, any way, I went to the bathroom, which was an epic quest in itself. So I came back and layed down naked again and turned off the lights. The voice told me that light was a tool, to help us find our way when we are lost.
Then I remember getting mad because I felt like my room was a prison and I couldnt get out, and I wanted to go outside, luckily i didnt though because there was a big thunder storm.
After what felt like hours of being a prisoner, first in my room, secondly in my own body, I finally decided to settle down and lay back down. I put my ipod back on and watched the video of Parobla, by the band Tool. I was so inspired that I decided to listen to more Tool songs.
These songs painted a beautiful message. It was through this experience that I felt for the first time, what it would be like if human kind would just quit fighing, quit being lazy, quit being greedy and selfish, evolve and fulfill their purpose as care takers to the planet.
I felt my spirit, I felt like a leviathin, I felt the form of my spirit, and this is gonna sound weird but it was like I and my spirit were one and the same yet two seperate entities, one being a human form, and the other being pure and it kind of looked like a giant blue toad/dragon/slash dinosaur. I had a conversation with my spirit and learned so much from that night. Yet there is so much Im still trying to figure out.
