intense salvia trip

Alright, so I picked up some 20x salvia at this headshop, and went out camping with some friends. That night we each took a few hits out of a gravity bong, it didnt do too much, probably a level 2 trip. I just tried again tonight not expecting much since it didn't even seem as potent as some 10x i had a few months back.
Before I get into my trip, let me set the scene. I'm 20 years old, home from college for the summer. My parents are downstairs, it's 8:30 at night. They know that I smoke pot because they've caught me a few times, and I know that they caught me and they knew, but they never say anything. They don't know about any other drugs.
So I load my bong, with 2 big pinches of 20x salvia. Take a hit, hold it in for 25 seconds, before I exhale I start to feel things really happening. So I exhale and take another huge hit. This is where it starts to get hazy. I have Playing in the Band on in the background. Everything in my room is just colors. My posters on the wall, my wall, my tv, my bed, everything is just colors, with no depth. I think I can reach for my tv and touch it even though it's a good 10 feet from me. Then I reach up, and rip down the colors of my room, exposing another 2 dimentional picture of the colors that are my room. I rip that one, and under it is again, another one. Then they start to rip by themselves. My room is constantly being ripped down in front of me. I grabbed onto my bed for dear life. My room kept ripping open. I was just holding on to my bed thinking about what could possibly be happening to me. The idea that I smoked salvia was beyond me, I didn't think that had anything to do with what was happening, and I forgot I had even smoked it. I was thinking maybe there was an error with the force above. Maybe God and screwed something in my reality up. I somehow got caught up in the middle of a rip in my room, and kind of held myself in it. I was thinking Ok, I'm going to meet God right now. I'm going to see what this new reality is all about. And I was thinking, Do I feel ready to meet God? Have I lived a good life? And the answer was No. I was reaching for the door, trying to get out of the room and see if it was happening to my parents downstairs. See if the whole world was experiencing this malfunction of reality. I think I called for my mother, hoping she would know what's happening. As I was reaching for the door to leave my room, I realized the tearing had been going to the beat of Playing in the Band. So I ran over to my computer instead of opening the door, and I turned off the music, hoping that the tearing of the room in front of me would stop. Then the beat continued in my head and it kept tearing for a few more seconds. Then I got a grip on reality. I looked over and saw my bed sheets pretty much torn off the bed where I was holding on. I see all the clothes that were on my bed scattered all over the room. I see a huge wet spot on the bed where I had been smoking(which is when I realized I had been smoking), then I realize that it is bong water. My bong is on the other end of the room somehow. Water everywhere. Then I start to think, how come I'm not wet. Then I realize that I am soaked in water, and I get paranoid wondering if I had called my parents, or if they heard me trashing my room and throwing my bong around. Thankfully they hadn't. I took off my clothes and jumped in the shower, hoping to get back to reality as quickly as possible. I got out of the shower and here I am writing this up.
What I experienced was the single most intense, uncomfortable, mind blowing experience I have ever had. I'm so glad to be back to reality again. I think it's gonna be a little while before I get myself back into that gram of 20x salvia.

Wow, how long did all of this take place in?
Salvia is a hell of a ride, I want to try it some time...
Good thing you didn't end up calling your mom or anything =P

You got close, in fact you basically broke through except for the whole breaking through part. Seems to be you "held" it together. If you want to that is your own choice, but the real reason to take these drugs is not to hold on but to release.
I get so dissapointed everytime some of my friends tell me about a trip where they layed there and held on for dear life, but they held it together in the end. These are also the same types of friends that don't ever really talk about their trips. What the fuck are you doing taking the drug then if you are just gonna resist the effects and hold your shit together. The thing the drug does is destroy everything you have built up in your mind. No offense, nightkrawler, this is not meant towards you at all, but it is meant towards people who mistakenly take psychedelics and other mind altering substances with the mindstate to hold on. Don't waste your dose, save it for a time when you are ready to be broken down.

Yeah, I definitely wasn't expecting that to happen. It was nothing like the other times I've done salvia. If I had remembered that I had just smoked salvia I'm sure it would've been different, but I didn't have a clue. I thought life as I knew was going to be completely different from then on. I didn't even know my bong was in my hand when the ripping started.
The whole thing happened over like a 5 minute period probably.

I agree with ya, but for me, it's taken a lot of practice to learn how to "let go." Doesn't come as naturally for some people I don't think.

It doesn't come naturally for anyone, ever. In fact, it is a literal fight to the fucking death in your mind. You ego will do anything it can, including sickness, insanity, and anything else it needs to do to convince you to fight the effects. The ego will give you everything to try and get you not to realize that you really need nothing.
Anybody that says "letting go" is easy is full of shit. That or they have had many, many years in psychedelic yoga. "Letting go" takes lots of practice, nuff said. It takes a lot of mental control to be able to not care and let go.

So true! Breath exercises and meditation have helped me in that aspect.

meeting god means different things to different people. I keep bunping into him and it's great - in a different way my departed brother is with him.

The answer to was I ready to meet God was no. Have I lived a good life, I don't know, I was thinking about that one during the trip and I couldn't decide.
As for letting go, I tried, and will keep trying. It's very hard when I thought everything that was happening was really happening. I complete forgot that I had smoked anything at all. If I knew it was the salvia, I would've just told myself it's just a drug, it's supposed to happen, just go with it. I'll probably be ready to bust into that 20x again on Thursday or Friday.
One thing that I just remembered today, was that I thought God was calling me when the rip opened, and I could've ventured out and met whoever it was, but I decided to stay in my room and explore, see if there was any difference between this room and my normal one. Hopefully next time I'll get where I need to go.
