Tripping on shrooms turns you back into a little kid

So I'm sure if you've tripped before you know what I'm talking about. The way shrooms cause your brain to filter information and the way you are in awe and wonder of... everything. The feeling of strange familiarity which is kind of like deja vu but not quite.
I've tried explaining this to people who have never tried shrooms, and while I get some of the point across, I don't feel like I've really gotten them to understand. While I know the best way to show them what I mean would be for them to try themselves, I was wondering if someone could help fully describe this.
Any description would be awesome. Chemical, physical, emotional, whatever.
Thanks in advance.

Absolutely. Most drugs can give you that feeling until you get used to them really. With certain substances it feels like I'm peering into my modern life as a newborn

Yes, go ahead, share the magic.
Just don't give any to actual little kids, or else they'll turn back into babies.

On lucy, two friends and I talked about this. We created a thought web, so to speak, that ended with us entertaining the idea that we are born tripping. As we develop and mature it fades.
Not saying I subscribe to this idea, but it was interesting to think on.

Somewhere I read that psilocybin temporarily undoes your brains "training" to focus on one thing, so it feels like you're receiving an onslaught of information (not in a uncomfortable way, though).
Is that actually true?

It is one theory: http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/faqs/psychedelic_experience_faq.shtml#4f Read the section underneath the level descriptions with the first asterisk. I think it's a pretty good way of looking at it.

ah, but consider. if tripping consists of a chemical or two affecting how you see the world, we're all tripping all the time. serotonin, melotonin, dmt, dopamine all exist to convey info. when a psilocin molecule edges out a serotonin, its just a different, albeit much cooler, trip.

... and if you give them to babies they go back to before they were born and disapear from this earth and won't come back until they're born into this world again.

I know what you mean though, I think Sasha's theory of children in PHIKAL. They experience the world so purely, it's great. I too have felt this child like energy on mushrooms and it is one of the reasons that I love them.

If you mean, see things with a beginners mind, yes...
Something happened once... Had such a strong memory recall, it was like time travel... Connecting to the me of decades ago who was tripping... Was very interesting.... Like the me Then was communicating with the Me now, and vice versa. Think I kept trying to say 'buy Microsoft stocks' :-) Problem was the me then forgot what I said... Stupid tripper

Mushrooms do the exact opposite for me.
They make me feel like i'm filled with some sort of ancient wisdom... I feel old, like hundreds of years old and that i'm viewing the world around me with a sense of deep wisdom. It's hard to explain with language but thats the closest I can come...
LSD gives me the childish feeling, but mushrooms are totally differant for me.

I also love looking through the eyes of a child while retaining the thought complexity of a matured human. It's wonderful.
