Heightened Awareness or ESP?

One dark night in November three trippers sat on a hill above a golf coarse. Above, a star sparkled vision. Below, the mist lay over the golf course, a gentle breeze moving the mist in slow waves. As the three lay on the hill tuning into the solar disc, all three began to hear a 'tick' 'tick' noise originating somewhere close by, but where? Was it a trippers watch? A shake of the head said no. Questioning looks exchanged, searching senses probing. The noise gradually increased in volume and intensity. Suddenly, as though by way of answering the trippers question, one tripper pointed to the undergrowth, three or four feet bellow, and spoke. "Let there be light" he said. No sooner had the words left his lips than flames three feet high burst into being, flickering, dancing, casting shadows and light through the mist and into the trees. One tripper ran, another began to run, the third called to the others. "Stop, let's see what it is." As they approached the fire the flames reduced in size. Searching, the trippers found that a grass fire had been smouldering from earlier in the day. But, how did the tripper who pointed and spoke know there would be flames? Answers on a postcard please, to.......

Neat story. Now I consider myself a skeptic to nth degree, however I can't help but feel that something goes on in the mind while on LSD. I'm quite enamored with psychedelics and it is a phenomena I find unique to Acid. I feel like I can predict things before they actually happen. In a social setting, I can see where a conversation will go before it gets there, and how people will react, before they react. Although perhaps it is just the years and years of social conditioning we all get from birth, it is still an interesting an thought provoking phenomena.
Idk how he predicted the tree's combustion tho, perhaps he subconsciously perceived the smoldering in the distance before it ignited.

Skeptic too But.... Minds and pyschelics are still pretty unknown territory
Have had some odd coincidences happen while under the influence that I can not explain

Well done! The tripper cottoned on to the increasing intensity of the 'click' 'click' noise in the undergrowth just before the flames. Knew from previous experience that just such a noise preceded combustion and managed to fumble out the words 'Let there be light' moments before ignition. Oh, and the mist that hung over the golf coarse? That was a mixture of smoke and mist, opaque and heavy enough to hang just two feet over the greens, a gentle breeze causing slow waves in the stuff. Yon was one fine psychedelic experience.

Sense of smell can be very acute in some individuals maybe it was sensed and some part of the brain recognized the smell of smoke but the normal response was interrupted by tripping. Just a thought. Nice story, I pictured you on the hill and the golf course. Sounded mellow.

your mind creates your reality, when you expand your mind, you expand your limitations.

OK. I figure there was heightened awareness and increased intelligence, as in I.Q. One more question... On really high trips I have seen light/patterns, (as in my spiral blotter art profile picture), and felt/experienced sensation, as in gentle touch, fall over my awareness in stroboscopic beats. The question is......How do these beats figure into theories of consciousness? Answers on a post card please to.....
