15 gram mushroom trip report video

Here is a link to a trip report recounting what 15 grams did to my consciousness.
The night was essentially my gradual phasing into a psychedelic state that I had never been "in" before. After about 4 hours I began a psychedelic experiment with Parana/Chi energy and it produced visible results. I would be interested in any feedback you might have about this experience.

Why are you making multiple accounts and posting this video over and over? Or if its not you, then why are you pretending to be the guy in this video?

I am the guy in that video but I no longer have access to that old account and have uploaded a new version of that story on a new YouTube channel. I have requested that the old account be deleted. I don't mean to spam at all, I simply mean to keep links to current media available.

Ok so I watched that video 4 -5 month ago when I was on 5 gram. It was interesting but instead of just posting this old video again and again (I notice you posted it on bluelight also) why dont you tell us what youve been up to since that time? How has this experience effected you? Why do you seem so eager to promote it?

That is a great idea. I will make a video describing exactly how this big trip impacted me over the long-term. I think that would be very useful.
And I am interested in promoting the experience because it has only happened once in my life, seems relatively uncommon among Psychonauts in general and I feel it is insightful into how altered states can be used once the legal framework for doing so is in place. And I did post the same video on Bluelight because (for the same reasons just shared) I want to make it available to different communities.
My following posts will be sharing accounts and links to new videos/experiences that I haven't posted in other forms before. Again my apologies for any appearance of spamming. That is not my intention at all.

Ok and I apologize if you felt like I was being confrontational, it's just this is the internet you know and there are a lot of spammers so I simply wanted to make sure you were genuine and also I was interested to hear more details because like I said I enjoyed this video when I watched it several months ago and I would be much more interested in hearing further details than just watching the same video again. I would definitely be interested in watching if you post more vids.

Thanks for the interesting video At times like this I preface by saying, though I'm not entirely convinced by my skeptical side I think it is important to retain one nonetheless. I've read that synesthetes see auras around people (I don't know about objects) that they take to be external that are really internal or subjective. This can be shown to be the case because there is no conformity between synesthetes. In other words, what one synesthete sees as a brown aura, another may see as orange, for example. I do also believe, unfortunately, that there is the propensity for making illusory epiphanies while on psychedelics. In other words, you may come up with a model of the universe that makes no sense when you come down. I did that once myself when I devised a model of a cyclical universe written down onto a paper plate lol. It can be tricky though because not all of the novel ideas that suddenly appear obvious are actually illusory. Some are lying right below your threshold of awareness. If I observed on psychedelics that reality is more beautiful and complex than most people are capable of supposing, or that there exist limitations to human knowledge, then of course these things are true because how could they not be? Still we don't tend to go around thinking like that but for having our third eyes pried open which is why there are so many stories of people having spiritual awakenings on psychedelics and heading off to India or something like that. You'd have to be pretty obstinate to dismiss all such experiences as illusory and there are plenty of people that do that IMO because they are scared. I suspect they are mostly just scared of having a bad trip ha! and if their conceptions are that rigid, their egos that entrenched, then they might.

Thank you for your excellent response. Your points are well made and I agree with you that "hallucinations" or "experiences" while in an altered state are to be treated with a good degree of skepticism.
If anything for me, what I described in this video is a sort of mental exercise and perhaps a template for future excursions. It would be phenomenal to actually capture an image or recording of such events in any form that could then be viewed by either the tripper or someone else after the fact. This is a kind of technology that I have been fantasizing about for quite some time, "psychedelic observer tech". Maybe one day.

Skepticism is ok as long as you don't deny/resist what you find. As soon as you resist you become fixated on what you're resisting and this is where the problems arise. Don't try to fit in just follow the truth.
http://www.archventures.org.uk/Active%20Imagination%20-%20Rahima%20Spottiswood.pdf
Quote:
The term Self was used by Jung to designate the tra nspersonal centre and totality or wholeness of the human psyche. It constitutes the g reater objective personality, whereas the ego describes the lesser subjective personality that is our everyday self. Like all other archetypes the Self is never completely knowable an d can be experienced and re- experienced in differing ways over the course of a lifetime.
It is also important to remember that active imagin ation, expressed in some form or other, is probably as old as the earliest efforts of human kind to relate to forces greater than themselves. Indeed, what we could now see as a form of active imagination would be the very early representations of animals in prehistori c cave art.
They were not only drawings and paintings of animals. but also of the power and magic they were felt to possess. Many shamanic traditions use forms of active imagin ation to develop their own inner process of creative visualisation.
True imagination engages deep feelings and nurtures the growth of consciousness as well as the creative awa reness of both suffering and joy, so enhancing the development of human personality. Act ive imagination has been described as a waking dream, or dreamlike state, happening in th e absence of sleep when we become able to observe our conscious thoughts and action a nd have access to thoughts and feelings not usually accessible to consciousness.
Relating to the unconscious as it becomes expressed through active imagination, is a symbolic process for we are not working factually, but using images that can represent living symbols. A living symbol expresses a part of us tha t is not fully conscious and can often be felt rather than rationally understood. As soon as we are able to fully understand a symbol, it loses its numinosity and becomes a sign.
The term symbol can never be explained once and for all as its very nature implies a transition to a new level of understanding, a new d epth of consciousness. A symbol has the power to move and shift our consciousness because i t connects us to a deeply unconscious energy field. Incidentally I would also suggest tha t dreams themselves are symbols rather than signs because a sign will always have an assig ned or given meaning. Symbols are autonomous products of the unconscious and, in Jung 's view, real symbols are never invented or made up, nor are they only a poetic or allegorical way of representing a known fact.
One could see them as expressions of the unco nsciousness through archetypes and archetypal patterns which have always exerted a pow erful influence on the individual and on society. So active imagination can also be seen as a dialogue with archetypes of the collective unconscious. In this context it is alway s important to recognise that there is a great deal that is personal and still more that is impersonal which we do not know, but which continues to have its effect on us.
Quote:
Marie von Franz, Jung's colleague over many years, has defined four stages or steps in the process of active imagination: 1. Being alone by oneself and settling the thoughts of ego; consciousness having to give space to the unconscious. 2. Starting to make contact with the unconscious, usua lly in the form of images, fantasies, and emotions; these are then written down, drawn or painted to give them an external form. 3. The ego reacts by confronting the emerging unconsci ous material that has come up. 4.Conclusions to be drawn and enacted in life.
In the first step of working with active imaginatio n, it is important to let the conscious ego stand aside in order to feel more free from its cri tical judgement. Let the ego observe without criticising what comes up but not filtering anything out, a state that could be described as being somewhat similar to the alpha st ate of unfocused attention

This was the beauty of the experience in that I had not doubts of what I was perceiving. The gnosis came flooding into my reality.
