Whats so "Magic" about shrooms?
    #1421493 -

I grow my own stash and i have consumed a fair amount of psilocybe shrooms and i have come to realize that i have never had a spiritual or enlightening trip off of shrooms.

I have done shrooms in all kinds of interesting settings with all kinds of people yet the only thing the mushrooms presents me with is funny visuals. In-fact the only thing i enjoy doing on shrooms these days is watching paintings. I love art on shrooms but thats just because i get seriously intense visuals.

At times my mind wanders of and i think something original and interesting but when i analyze it the following days i realize that it wasn't at all enlightening or special the high just made it seems that way.

Gateway to the spirit world? get the fuck out of here! Its nothing but hallucinations. I have done doses that most people would shit their pants if they tried yet no revelations.

I'm starting to get pissed when my friends talk about how enlightened they have become after discovering shrooms yet they are the same dumb-asses they have always been. Yeah you feel good and the trip is cool but thats it.

God smack :shocked:

interesting I have a group of friends who have consumed psychadelics for years and when recently discussing philosophy I was comparing equality to ego loss, and said " you know like on a 5 gram trip! " .they had no idea what I was talking about.. and as we got deeper into theconversation I realized they had never seen the world i had seen..I was shocked.
I dont know what to tell you, I am just as amazed you havent seen  [ or been anything for that matter ] amazing while shrooming as you are that i have :crazy:

err..maybe try asking yourself philosophical questions on 4-5 grams..
try looking out at nature and think look theres something.. theres something else..wait a minute its all something~ see the big picture~ look at the blade of grass/then look at the whole yard that contains the blade

Maybe read murex's "things to say to random people thread"
:cool:
good luck!

If you think of shrooms like that you'll never have a spirtual experience. Mushrooms don't make the experience, they just show you the door. It's up to you to walk through it.

I have considered such matters.

There is no universal mushroom trip, or any universal message the mushrooms impart. I think people need to define the term "enlightened" because "spiritual" people always use it in conversation and everybody seems to have a different idea about what it means. I think you're wrong to brush it off the way you are, though. The more I eat mushrooms the more I'm amazed. I guess your brain is broke.

I don't know what to say either. They unlock your mind from the usual thought routines, but it is up to you to attain meaning from the experience. What is the highest dose you have taken, what was it like?

Me, my brother, and three other friends love to trip all them time - none of them really know what the cosmos are. They are left dumbfounded when I explain high doses. My brother and I are like the only real trippers in my town - everyone else won't take more than two hits of acid, or an 1/8 of mushrooms. It's really sad.

I know a man, he has never consumed an illegal drug. That is his right, and I respect that. We talk about mind blowing philosophy, spirituality, and other subjects all day long. I have been thinking out of the box long before my mushroom experimentation also. Your mind does not transform into a mushroom when you consume them, it is still your mind. When I dose, I usually take in as much as I can, without anylizing it, then when sober, I take the time to process the information given to me. Taking mushrooms will open your mind up, but some people are a few paintings short of a gallery.

what are you doing them for then?

have you taken 5 dried grams and laid alone in dark (if you can't get darkness, close your eyes) silence (if ya can't get silence, put on your most mindblowing cds) for a whole trip?

It took me about 5 trips to see what mushrooms are really about.. a glimpse anyway. Either I was delusional at the time (very possibly) or I was on to something pretty mind blowing. At this time I don't know which is the case. It's interesting though. And if it turns out I was delusional then mushrooms are still pretty "magic" for me, due to the experience alone.

while i have had the "spiritual" experiences and wouldnt trade them for ne thing, honestly its just all biology and chemicals inside your brain. so for you they probably just dont react the same way as to create emotions and feelings of "awe" and spiritual enlightenment. i would keep trying tho if you want to. i wouldnt increase the dosage if you already have visuals, i would just go for a while without (to make sure your tolerance is down) make sure your in a good mood (to avoid a bad trip) and take some with just one trip sitter (or alone, if you feel that is safe) and cut out any distractions like tv. also it might help to have your mind concentrating on one thought when you take off (like "why are we here") and that might help to get you into that philosophical mindframe.

good luck man. at any rate just try to enjoy your experiences and you can enjoy the experiences of others through trip reports as well. :smile:

there is nothing "magic" about shrooms...

Psilocybe was boichemically engineered by the Mantids to produce 4-ho-DMT, an algorithm designed to format the four-dimensional primate mind for assimilation by the fifth-dimensional Overself.

to be selected for digitization, the monkey mind must properly integrate the Memes
and have the elasticity of consciousness to translate them into ordinary experience.

Thats is where the "magic" takes place.

have you eaten 5g+ in silent darkness?

you may have a calcified pineal gland.
the PTB have put flouride in the water to accomplish just that.

try drinking filtered water and using flouride-free toothpaste..

Re: Whats so [Re: Dogomush]
    #1426837 -

PTB = powers that be, and it has been observed that fluoride consumption over long periods of time slowly coats and "mucks up" the pineal gland.

Aside from that.... uhh lol I don't know about that other stuff he was talking about. Soundmind, heh can you elaborate on your post?

it did remind me tho, one real way to boost ure trip is vitamin C. thats an old trick most of us know, but if shroomnoob hasnt tried it, it might be a good idea. orange juice is an obvious easy source, but maybe it would be better to take vit C pills ahead of time.

i had almost forgotten to mention that. tried n tru

hey is there some kind of source I can go to so I can discover what "mucking up the pineal gland" actually means? And what effects would that have on mushroom trips? I know DMT is produced there, but does psilocybin act on that part of your brain?

Re: Whats so [Re: Dogomush]
    #1427022 -

i mean ive tried it and its true :smile: i think overall erowid reports n such really verify it, and i think the sticky point is just that you have to 1)consume enough vit C 2) be familar enough to recognize the difference but 3) not be so burnt out from drug uses that ure dulled to it (if u know what i mean. like when u smoke green everyday for a while.)

but hey, maybe im wrong. wouldnt be the first time :smile:

also, as always, we gotta remember that people's bodies are very different and you gotta figure out what amounts are right for you n such

...or just try Copelandia cyanescens/tropicalis haha...
Try to explain the "magic" in the mushroom is impossible...like trying to explain the blue color to a blind...the spiritual experience with the shrooms is not abordable with words...don't even try ! Do you people tried to read some of the level 4-5 trip reports on this site before posting ? Do you think that we are lying and trying to look hype and "enlightened" ??? My first time with shrooms i was confronted with spirits, i died and saw all my life passing then i reborn...and i took the shrooms just to have some fun so i didn't expected something spiritual ! You're are talking about the visuals and the hallucinations but those hallucinations aren't the main thing of the trip, it's a detail...the main thing is...aaaaah it's so big...no word to put on it...well it's like awakening from a dream and this dream it was your life ...
Yes, try Copelandia !  :grin:
