Clear-headedness on shrooms
    #21866462 - 06/27/15 10:01 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I've done mushrooms three times, highest 2 grams. All three were incredible experiences. But I didn't hallucinate (just images in my head). The biggest thing for me was a clear, focussed mind and deep feelings of connectedness and love. I've suffered from severe depression, anxiety, BPD and ADHD for all of my teenage years (couldn't even read a page of a book, so many of my brain functions had been limited/damaged). But on shrooms, for the first time in years, my mind was completely focused and awake, more than ever before! Instead of five voices in my head, there was only one, and it was calm. My vision was sharp. I also felt free and comfortable in my body for the first time ever. Happiest in my life. Now, after, I can read again and I'm working towards creating. I've never heard of the focus thing before, but if this is why they suggest it for mental health issues, I agree that it's a miracle drug. Anyone else have this experience?

I'm thinking of coordinating my trips with the moon cycles because I think there was significance to doing it for the first time on summer solstice.

of course focus is a big part of the mushroom.

ancient cultures would eat mushrooms before hunting to heighten their awareness.



as for the timing of your trip, see my user title :wink: :grin: :mushroom2:

But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go
If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
That it's one thing to try and another to fly
You get there quicker just a step at a time
It's one thing to bark, another to bite
The show ain't over till you pack up at night

Sounds a bit reminiscent of my younger self and some of the same things mushrooms helped me with.....and i too like to trip on the solstices, heavy mushroom dose during the winter sol, and a solid dose of mescaline or lsd during the summer sol. The first few times i tripped i didn't have any visuals either, now my trips are veeeery visual.








I made a post a while ago trying to explain how mushrooms affect my cognition, i'll paste it below in a quote.....while they do provide a calm clear and quiet mind for me, they also make make me "stoned" and make it difficult to execute lots of tasks.

I feel heavily stoned and impaired from mushrooms if I try to do something that involves the executive functions of my cognition, the higher levels of cognition, and social interaction. With that said, I am on the autism spectrum so I kinda have some troubles in that area as it is sober :shrug:  .



I usually can't talk at all on mushrooms through the thick of the trip, even with small doses (if someone asks me something, I'll probably just stare at them with no reply, even if I clearly heard and understood what they said...this something I used to do as an kid to :lol:, always spacing out).....but during the comedown and during the afterglow the days after the trip, my ability to translate my thoughts from the form they're in and into verbal language is much better than usual . So I actually "feel smarter" in a certain way after taking mushrooms, since I can talk with more fluidity and lucidity than usual. See, I'm not a verbal thinker what so ever, I rarely have an internal-voice or monolog going on, my thoughts are mostly in the form of imagery and concepts, and abstractions/feels that I can't put into words.

So I can often "think" crystal clear while on mushrooms and honestly they do feel like they increase my intelligence, allow novel and creative thought, most certainly my ability to visualize and conceptualize things....so all around I do feel "more intelligent" when on mushrooms, I just can't do much or function well :lol: . I only become confused and feel like my mind is clouded when I try to do something like a task that involves planning, error correction, short term memory, reasoning, talking, social-games, etc etc....




Essentially...I feel way more "autistic" than usual when I'm on mushrooms :lol: . They enhance the internal world I'm often absorbed in, and enhance my ability to "think", but they make me even less functional in an "outward" or social manner while under the influence of them (if that makes sense).

I absolutely love the way they allow me to dance, they unleash lots of creative potential. In fact, I credit mushrooms (and LSD) with giving me the kinesthetic intelligence I now have.



This is why I usually take mushrooms alone, so I don't have to interact with anyone, and when I trip with friends we don't really talk at all until the come down..and also why I usually spend the entirety of the trip doing nothing other than laying or sitting down, or dancing. Because anything else is often way to complex of a task to do.




And all of that is in regards to what I consider light to moderate doses (1.5g to 4g of cubes, or 1g to 2g of ps cyans)...once I get beyond 5g of cubes of around 3g of cyans, there isn't much of "I" left to do any sort of thinking, it's just observing/awareness at that point
