 one of the most stunning, encompassing depictions of all that is this transcendent experience. thank you for this, much love and light to you.

i like it because it actually has to do with a real phsycadelic  experience. most of the drawings here are just what people think its "trippy" and have nothing to do with what these phsycadelics are about

Absolutely beautiful... I would love to see more.

Seriously, this is exquisite, nearly perfect even. Your explanation for the painting is almost exactly how I interpreted it before i realized you had posted it. I also surmised that the splicing of the white light at the end of the path into the colors of the rainbow is representative of the fact that if you stick to the path you may end up in a slightly different form than someone else who follows the path but it is all a spectrum of the same idea. This is one of the best abstract paintings I have ever seen, bravo.

Elegant. I admit, I'm a rather harsh critic, and this "type" of art (forgive the genre-label) usually makes me yawn. As does 99% of any art-form out there...
Not this one.
I have admired it before, and now that I am slightly bent myself I can see why.
Thanks for sharing!

it took 2 trips. Mainly just one though for the whole rough image... actually wait... we'll say it took 3 trips because I think I first got the idea for it from a previous trip or it could have just been a meditation. But yeah, mostly just one day I just ate a couple caps and stems, I pretty much intuitively ask how much to take and the mushrooms tell me. I meditated a little and let it kick in for 45 minutes and just started painting the rough lines... first the path, the figures on the left and right. It all just flowed quite effortlessly and I didn't care about regretting any brush stroke and so because of that I felt I just kind of gave in to the experience. After a couple hours it was too difficult and I had to stop and just use the experience for other intended things. The next day or so I did mushrooms again but not so much this time but just enough that it made me a little more creative I guess.  After that I just did the details over a month (sober) and it's pretty funny but I'd get spaced out looking at it for about a month afterward, I could feel things turning around inside my mind, inside my 3rd eye. The painting held that signature I guess of the trip and it activated a part of my mind that was a little discomforting! I have since then become completely comfortable with psychedelics and the experiences and discomforting thoughts that come out of it.

Without giving away the direct meaning, I'll say it has sort of a yin/yang theme with the white path...(white representing harmony of color.), so the white path itself sort of marks that obvious path we feel we are headed in life but we resist it in many ways and directions...well resist is a bad word...deviate...through desires, choices, whereas the white path is always something obvious underneath everything we do, the path with the most direct route to the true self but its all the attractions to chase off the path that makes our experience unique. ;)

This is very beautiful and meaningful !
I see many different aspects there, did you draw it all while on shrooms? Also how many trips it took?

Thank you. It was acrylic paints, fluorescent ones were essential. I also use a hard white pastel for some highlights, and I used some good soft pencil crayons for some lines. It took me like a month on and off but really it just took a couple of mushroom sessions and a few hours or so on and off throughout the month.  Thanks again for the kinds words. : )
