Starting up growing again tomorrow. Had to take a 3 month break to let the heat die down and get settled in the new apartment. So excited!

Robert, thank you for sharing this insightful report. I wish others would share more like this about how they were able to find self-improvement while tripping, whether intentional or not.
I'm all for PrimalSoup's suggestion of entering a trip with no expectations, but I still would like to be able to guide my thoughts in a direction so that I can do a little bit of self-improvement if at all possible. I can't say I've been through anything like what you did when you were young, but I still think that I have repressed feelings or emotions that I would like to face. After hearing a first-hand report of what it's actually like, it gives me a much better idea about what the potential of these magical substances are.
I'm still not comfortable consuming that high of an amount of mushrooms just yet, but I'm working my way out of my current comfort zone so that I can get there eventually. I'm not rushing it though, I would like to be completely mentally ready before I do.
Thanks again, I hope I see more self-improvement while tripping reports such as this, they're very informative and interesting to me.

I don't know if it would be wise to purposefully try and make something happen i think if it has to happen it must be naturally. I always go into every trip with zero expectations other than to be on the ride until it is over. and whatever happens so be it.
back then I clearly had a desire whether concious of it or not to tackle the mental difficulties i was carrying around especially all the chips i had on my shoulders towards society, I had no idea in a concious state of thinking how to go about solving these problems partially due to my blind ignorance and my ego thinking it was everyone elses fault.
This desire became so great that my subconsious mind which had solved the problems and knew what to do manifested a way to get the solution to me through my psychedelic use when it was aloud a voice in the periods during ego death which often happened under large doses of psilocybin. To me it presented itself in a form that it believed i would listen to, i guess if i was the religeous type that might have been jesus or budha or satan or whatever or if i was a Trekky Jean luc Picard
For taking larger doses and getting past the confort zone there are many solutions the best i have found is to take you comfort zone amount and get to that perfect confort zone where your trip is peaking and your in the zone, then take more, the golden rule applies here "Whatever mental feeling and emotions your feeling when you start tripping will be amplified" you are in the perfect place in the comfort zone taking more just amplifies this, if the second stage ones are eating over a period of time say 30-60 minutes then your comeup on the next ones is so smooth you just blend in, you will find your own ways to relax into eating larger amounts if you want to.
Safe tripping and thanks for the feedback

Thanks, I'll give that a try . And I'll take that advice to not force anything, and have no expectations. I guess I should consider myself pretty well-aligned if I can have several high-dosage trips without anything like that occurring. I think the other lesson I'm finding from your stories is that having a bad trip isn't necessarily a "bad" thing if the experience can be properly integrated with my reality.

I have found that a bad trip is just perspective based upon the trip not turning out as the tripper had desired. When having one it is always for a reason and the complications nearly always occur because the "sufferer" is resisting, fighting or trying to contol what is hapopening and make the experience into the trip they were expecting to have instead of the one they can feel themselves slipping into.
90% as soon as we stop resisting it stops being difficult, it genuinely is about letting go and giving in or as Primal Soup perfectly put it "going through the door" this is real tripping a proper dosage has been taken before this point it is just our egos enjoying the experience of the altered brain chemistry.
Once we truely let go with a high dosage and submit to the interaction of the molecules that we have added to our natural brain chemistry then we then have access to different perspectives on ourselves and lives without the bias of the concious mind or ego, we can see ourselves often as a stranger would and that is how we can see the things in ourselves we would not like from others.
If you have any issues with yourself you will challenge yourself in the ego death period, it is natural and often why the first couple of times that it happens it is difficult to accept for some people, i was definitely one of these people but once I started acting to solve my issues with myself the ego death was the doorway to the psychedelic bliss.

Nah, that's just it - you can't guide it. It just comes up and you go with it, sorry if I didn't make that clear. If you already knew what you needed to change you'd be able to do it without any help from psychedelics. But they will consistently bring up stuff that you (normal you) hasn't got a handle on, and allow you (psychedelic you) to work on it, with lasting effect.

Alright, now I gotcha . Every trip I've had thus far has been just like that, no guidance to speak of, just go with it. I've also had my fair share of "fun" trips versus introspective ones, and I do think that's something that can be predetermined before the trip, just the types of activities that will occur during that time. Thank you also for the advice PrimalSoup, you guys are great.

I would not really say what happened in my youth was anything really bad they were just experiences i lived through so they can't have been that bad really. The important thing was destroying the warped perspectives i took from these times and then lived by. These rules which i formulated in my deepest subconcious were about how i would behave towards other people in the future and were completely destrucitive to my life and anyone in it, once I got rid of these i was able to start repairing the damage id already done to my life and my relationships with everyone in it.
I think if you are aware of any issues you have with yourself and are a psychedelic user the two ingredients are leading to a meeting, if you have a subconcious desire for change then they can definitely be a catylist you just gotta be aware when it is happening to let happen especially if it feels a hard barrier to cross.
