Thanks Steve either way... And GREAT THANKS to Dr. Hoffman, even though I have only consumed 1tab of weak acid. I don't doubt it's efficacy any day.

If im on a computer and tripping, if my thoughts are slow and scrambled, the computer becomes slow and scrambled, and does some weird stuff.

It's cool that someone else has noticed this too. Especially my ipod touch... It's generally EXTREMELY sensitive to my fingers, very nice control on the thing, but SOMETIMES when I am tripping it will flash, reboot when I touch it, touch or click somewhere I obviously didn't touch, or flat out not respond under ANY circumstance, despite still running, not freezing up... It's just too weird sometimes. Or right when one of those Never in a million years type synchronicities happen, that instant my ipod will freeze and skip zichzichzichzichzichzichzichzichzichzich and screen go blank and I wont be able to use it until I force reboot., and all sorts of weird stuff. Yes computers.

That doesn't mean that alot of time when I am tripping computers and ipods do the opposite. I have also noticed that sometimes without even thinking, or totally missing what I MEANT to click or do, the ipod or computer will correct for me and be totally ahead of me in that regard and become extremely accurate, efficient and reading my vibe and predicting my intent.

I also find, while browsing the internet, or thinking, I am running with a thought process in my head related to my browsing. Ill come to a stop in my thought process and suddenly the page freezes while loading. Ill be dazing out not realizing I stopped thinking, then realize im waiting on my computer, but also realize I have forgot what I was thinking about and browsing for... then Ill initiate myself to keep thinking some 20 or however many seconds later, re-realize what it was I was searching for and out of nowhere my computer will start making those noises again and Bam the page is loaded instantly from 15% to 100% in a split second... Or, if I get greedy or something else that upon hindsight I realize would not have been a good thought pattern or path to pursue, During the process of searching out that information my computer out of nowhere will initiate a shutdown sequence and for 5 or ten seconds ill get raging angry, pissed at my computer for shutting down out of nowhere then realize "WOW! This could not have benefitted me any better, that would have been the worst thing for my emotional and mental health to continue thinking about, and now, thanks to my computer "Messing up" I have realized this.

Written just after his 101st birthday, the letter's penmanship is
impressive for a man of his years. I showed it to my grandmother, Ruth
Grim, who was 8 years Hofmann's junior and did amateur handwriting
analysis as long as Hofmann had been tripping. Without knowing who he
was, she said in an e-mail that "something happened early in his life
that made him twisted about things. Maybe he felt threatened.
Also--creative with his hands, hard on himself, thinks a lot, stubborn,
careful with the way he expresses himself, not influenced by other's
thinking."

Yeah, my grandma says a lot of things too.

I'm glad u have had similar experiences and wrote them out detailed, I don't have an ipod, but that is exactly it, it's like our thought process goes with the computer processor.

I too have felt like I got benefits from the computer messing up according to my negative thoughts, and the "random" reboot was like rebooting the mind, just like acid can be a medicine to "renew"/"reboot" oneself.

Also, saw a brand new splash screen loading image, after a computer automatically restarted, it was insane, cuz I never saw it before,

Sometimes I feel like I get really close to this collective consciousness, or higher power, and through the computer and internet, it speaks to me. Sometimes I wonder, this way, the dead have the possibility of speaking to the living.


Not only with computers, but also television to an extent, I notice strange synchronizations, but nothing like a personal computer tho. Probably because the information is not as controlled as television and is free flowing through cyberspace.

Before I end up sounding insane, let me just say that things(thangs) sure are strange.

You reminded me of a few things I had forgot when you spoke of the dead, or other forms of (nonphysical in our sense?) intelligence communicating through computers. There are two incidents I want to mention from here, the first is not much of an incident or occurrence as it was a complete immersion of my entire soul into the internet or some higher connection. It happened as I had taken a bottle of Zicam, ~400mgs of DXM. As I sat at the computer waiting for it to come on, I was logged onto the internet and I happened to be chatting to a random woman I had never met before. As the effects came on, I felt the screen slowly but strongly become magnetically attached to my consciousness or mind/perception. It grew so strong that I could not "see" like normal beyond my screen and my sight itself became a pulsating, whirlpool like feeling.

When I checked on my body after I got into it for a while, it was almost as if this spiral whirlpool effect had created a tunnel through the internet back through my head and I felt as if I were suspended vertically in space. I delved then back into the conversation and I soon realized that all I was feeling, everything in my experience, the entirety of whirlpool vibrations were the vibrations of the woman I was speaking with! I decided to test this by throwing out something random and I FELT my body disolve completely and morph to this electromagnetic like whirlpool suction force that squeezed me and my awareness through the connection on the internet itself... It was almost like a literal wormhole in psychic space was activated, physically, electromagnetically through the medium of the internet and my pc. It was such a powerful physical feeling that it literally sucked my body into the shape of the wormhole, and subsequently THROUGH the wormhole and into this other womans mind. I was literally dancing around in her consciousness, more vivid, more connected with her intimately than I had ever been with anyone in my ENTIRE LIFE, EVER. The internet LITERALLY opened up a wormhole for me physically. Anyways ive said it enough, onto the next incident.

The other thing I wanted to mention isn't as extraordinary in terms of possibilities as what I experienced dissociating my mind and body into the screen of my pc/internet... but one time when tripping recently, my cellphone happened to "malfunction" I would assume but somehow once I started feeling the effects of the mushrooms, the incoming text message alert sound changed from a doo doo Deep, to a Deep doo doo... almost like, changing from a Hey Good stuff! kind of tone to a "Your battery is dead" negative tone. I got 10 messages that night and it really baffled me because I had just charged it and the entire night my phone had a full charge, and nothing else was wrong with it, no error messages, full reception, everything else was normal, and even my siblings thought it was very strange.

I feel like technology is just as alive, just as tuned in vibrationally as we are, maybe even more so on many levels, and just as much in search of some answer, unification, something, whatever, just like we are. We are ourselves a process in progress, and so to are they. Sorry for rambling... we should extract this info and start a new threads. Could I politely request a mod to create us a thread and translocate this particular conversation? Although, I guess it does relate largely to the connection between consciousness evolution and computer evolution, which is exactly what this news post is all about so, whatever.
