For a real experience you have to go through tough times, I don't understand this fucking mindset of thinking you can take high doses and have a smooth ride fucking around with machine elves. It's impossible, ego death is going to hurt profusely, and then it will be pure tranquility.
..
In my experience. Lol.
Your a fucking idiot ego death doesnt hurt obviously u never experienced any
Feeling like you've physically died doesnt hurt? Alright maybe not 'hurt', maybe extreme discomfort.

You must not fight it thats why setting is so important. If your in a self place you can let go and just trust the mushrooms and go with it.

Well I did it guys. Sunday was the day I planned to trip and I did just that. I felt no anxiety whatsoever. I allowed the mushrooms to sink deep into me and take there course. I beat anxiety and the trip gave me a great opportunity to reach deep into my mind and figure out what it is thats bothering me so bad and I found out that everything is going to be okay. Anxiety is an unnecessary false emotion that can be beaten without taking medication. It's all in your head. Everything is.  Im planning on another trip in about 2 weeks or so with a higher dose even. I think i've finally found the correct mindset for psychedelics. Im happy.

InTheCosmos said: So i'm really seeking some advice about "letting go". For those that don't know what I mean, i'm talking about while under the influence of shrooms at a peak moment of the trip, you let yourself go 100% into the experience. I have some "minor" anxiety issues that cause me to fight the trip to an extent and I find it hard to just let it totally take over my whole entire body and go with the flow. I've had trips where the peak is so strong, that I mentally try to hold onto reality, even though I made the decision to leave reality with the mushrooms. I want to be able to let it ride out and let it totally 100% take over and be relaxed throughout the experience but it's like my mind wont allow so. What methods do some of you guys do to be able to let yourself go into the trip? ANY tips are welcome, im beyond fed up with myself not being able to do so. Thanks in advance guys 
The more you fight, the stronger the trip gets. Letting go takes experience because the part of your mind that opens may have a lot of broken cogs that need to be rebuilt. Just remember that your fight is your subconscious walls being broken down. We build them to protect our consciousness from harm, even though it harms us subconsciously.
There will be a moment when there are no more walls needing to be torn down, and that is when you can truly enjoy your trip. Welcome the madness because its for your own good.

Yeah, fighting the trip ruined it for me before. With this trip being more accepting to whatever the mushrooms had to offer, I found it to be much more enjoyable. I didnt smoke nearly as MUCH weed as I would usually which made the trip seem a little smoother. I also smoked very good quality herb this trip. Very clear headed sativa, which I think might have helped the trip. I feel that everyone will find a moment in one of there trips to where they "fight" it without intending to. Now that I've tripped more, it seems that I cant let myself worry about things that would cause me to fight. Im thankful for that. Also, none of my trips are extremely visual. Even with my 7 gram trip, it was all a deep trip that lets me tune into my mind much more. All trips have been that way so far and im not sure why.

Sounds like you may have some ego issues going on yourself man, why are you lashing out at him? The dissolution of the ego at high doses might not be physically painful but it can certainly be spiritually challenging, and the bodily sensations otherworldly. You should also note that it is known that indigenous shaman and modern psychonaughts often have painful abduction-like experiences when under the influence of these substances. It is widely accepted today that the inspiration for much of mans early cave art came from the use of traditional psychedelics, many of these depict the painful experiences of the shaman. Anyway, to the OP, first I want to be clear that you should never take more than you're comfortable with, and to be honest I am quite apprehensive to take a large dose in a social setting. With that being said, if I'm doing it alone I find it much easier to let go of my ego when taking large doses, infact, the ego doesn't stand a chance when it comes to heroic doses.

I wasnt lashing out at anyone that I was aware of? I apologize if it seemed so. I totally agree though, heroic doses will strip your ego, lay it in front of you and peel it apart while you cant do much of anything about it. It's not a choice imo, it just happens on heroic doses. It can be very painful, spiritually and emotionally as well, although I can say that with or without it being painful, it's well worth it in the end. If I could go back to my absolute worse trip ever and change anything about the experience, I wouldnt. It's all a giant lesson that many many people arent aware of and it's sad that psychedelics have such a bad image in society.

You should be able to do it again without extra dosing now. 
Meditation will get you to the same place without as much drama though.

Try learning to 'let go' sober in your everyday life and once you've mastered that, then these mind altering substances are cake

Letting go is turning off thoughts, never worrying about anything
Live in the moment , let thoughts pass you don't want
and in the case of trips, let the fear pass, don't fear it - fear is thought/worries too
btw.. egodeath doesn't hurt, many people have gone there many times its usually a surprise, you become one with everything and no thoughts you can only get there without expecting to get there
expect nothing, accept death at any time, accept everything
acceptance is one of the things in life that always makes sense, and it's learned slowly over time - because acceptance is the opposite of non-acceptance(thoughts)
if you live in the moment and appreciate what you have, you have everything you always wanted right now, and if you die in 5mins or tomorrow doesn't matter, so you accept death too
