From Other Dimensions to the Monkey Self
    #23605499 - 09/02/16 05:27 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hi, I’m pretty new here and have enjoyed and learned so much from this site. So I thought I’d share an interesting and confusing high dose trip I took 3 days ago alone in a secluded off-grid cabin. To be honest, there’s not a lot of the 6-hour trip I remember but some memories have slowly come back to me over the past couple of days.

Background

I haven't done mushrooms for 20 years, and recently a number of things happened in my life that made me think taking magic mushrooms would be interesting and perhaps beneficial. One thing that occurred was that I now had access to a secluded cabin in the bush, the perfect place to trip alone. 

On the night before leaving for the cabin, I couldn’t decide how many grams I should take, so I put 3 grams into one baggie and 2 grams into another and went to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, the first thing to pop into my head was “3 grams”.

At 11am, on an empty stomach, I sat in the cabin and chewed 3 grams of dried mushrooms, together with a handful of dry salted peanuts and flushed it down with water. As soon as I finish washing everything down, I remember Terence McKenna say it’s better to error by taking more shrooms than less. Worried I didn’t take enough, I ate the remaining 2 grams.

Trip

I then went for a walk along a trail in the woods while I waited for the shrooms to kick in. I didn’t have to wait long because within 15 minutes I turned around and headed right back to the cabin to lie down on the sofa.

It’s so difficult to explain what happened next…

(Just as an aside, I do accept that these experiences, both physical and non-physical, could be the result of a drug-induced brain feedback loop that gets distorted and amplified in the brain and the signal may, at times, manifest itself as alien entities to the brain).

After lying on the sofa for a few minutes and going deeper into my mind, I feel the presence of two beings of higher intelligence communicating with me telepathically.

They tell me they’re communicating without words so I won’t think I’m going nuts, which was definitely a concern for me at this point. I asked if they could see through me and they said they could see every thought and feel every heart beat. Sensing I was a little scared, they told me that they would not let any harm come to me.

One question I remember asking was, “What am I?” And the intelligence answered, “a Mushroom”, I laughed.

They then said I was one of them. I asked for clarification but received no answers that I could comprehend. I remember telling them that my monkey brain could not handle everything that was happening to me.

I then found myself in an earthly, almost mythological realm where I saw myself as some kind of animal, lying under a tree, beside a lake, on a planet in the universe, wanting nothing more than a drink of water and some sleep. There was a feeling of calmness and peace.

It was then communicated to me that our lives, all our decisions, and actions are pre-determined. The entire universe is unfolding along a pre-determined path but that there are other higher dimensions beyond the pre-determined. I was sprawled out, catatonic on the sofa.

Again, completely out of my mind, I encounter an earthly yet higher intelligence, an intelligence I was understanding as God at the time, not in a religious sense but more as representing an all-knowing entity.

I asked “What’s the meaning of life?” and the intelligence answered, “story”.

This higher intelligence told me that we use our imagination to tell stories and it’s this process of using our imagination to imagine stories, and the anticipation of how a particular story will resolve is what nourishes the universe. The intelligence then showed me how we use our imagination to tell ourselves stories that help us sleep at night. At the time, this made complete sense to me.

I then started to think about my life, my story and everything that has led up to this point in my life. I started to imagine a future and had an overwhelming feeling of peace which allowed me to drift in and out of consciousness. I don’t remember much but I do have a memory of traveling through a universe that was full of intelligent beings and ending up, as a disembodied energy, in a colorful animated space of a moving mechanical assembly line with a bubble gum type vibe.

I then regained consciousness and discovered that at some point I had lost my control of my bladder. I’m thinking this must have happened when I was imagining myself as an animal!

I pulled off the throw covering the sofa and threw it onto the ground, stumbled outside, sat on a bench, trying to straighten out my thoughts. I was worried that I wasn’t going to recover from this.

I looked at myself objectively, slumped over on a bench, pants soaked with urine, completely gone on mushrooms, and all I could feel was a  sense of intense shame.

I begged to get the shrooms out of my system.


The Ending

Eventually, after about 6 hours I started coming back to my senses. I was still scared that I would not recover psychologically from such an intense experience, but now 3 days later, I’m starting to feel like my normal self again.

I don’t think I’ll ever do such a high dose again since I think I’ve proven to myself that I can’t handle them. I’m glad I experienced what I did, I think, but I never want to have a similar. If you can’t remember the experience, how can you integrate any possible insights into your life?

I think a valuable lesson I learned was that I should have listened to the inner voice telling me to do 3 grams instead of 5 grams the morning of my trip!

Psychologically, I do feel more confident and self-assured, like some small insecurities or worries that have nagged at me have been lifted, I hope this is a long-term change. I’ve also had momentary lapses in my short-term memory, especially the day after the trip, but my memory is fine now.

Next trip, I think I’ll follow the advice I read in a post by Cactu and do 1 gram under a starry night sky.

Sorry for the long post, thanks for reading.


TL;DR

Did 5 grams of mushrooms after a 20-year abstinence.
Lost complete control.
Traveled to other dimensions.
Communicated telepathically with higher intelligence beings.
Traveled into the animal self.
Made it back to earth safely.
Lesson: Next time will do only 1 gram under a starry night sky.
