Asking and Receiving with the Mushroom Teacher
    #23852050 - 11/20/16 04:40 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hello Shroomery!

This is my first post. I love this website. I have been a lurker for years, and I owe my many positive mushroom experiences to the people who have made this place such a treasure trove of useful information.

This is my first trip for 10 years. I am a 33 year old male. I have taken high doses of mushrooms and lsd but never experienced ego loss. I eventually have up trying until...

I moved to a tropical environment and realized that I had moved to cubensis country. I hunted and hunted successfully, and waited for a day when the following were in order: 1) a light-hearted, silly mood 2) no commitments for 10 hours 3) a high likelihood of zero disturbances for that time.

Once these conditions were met, I dressed my bed in clean sheets and closed the blinds as I intended to spend the majority of the trip in silent darkness. I then placed 5g of dried cubensis on a plate and stated the following aloud to the mushrooms : "I am eating you with the intention of gaining whatever understanding you may bring. I accept that you may bring abject horror, or supreme delight, anything else which can be conjured. I am at your mercy. I submit myself to you in the hope that you will be gentle, that I may be blessed with wisdom, and that you will return me to consensus reality with something that can help myself and anyone who will listen."

I then proceeded to eat all 6g piece by piece. In about 40 minutes my alarm system began to sound. I became extra aware of my limbs. It was as if they were electrified. I decided it was time to go outside and smoke some pot. I rolled a .5g joint of some B- cannabis and went outside.

The moon was almost non-existent and the milky way was in full-effect. I smoked and looked at the milky way and venus while I began to remember the old familiar feeling of tripping. Jaw tightness, extra awareness of inner physical sensations like emptying my lungs, swallowing saliva, etc. I felt a small bead of joy within me and I knew it was growing, slowly becoming more radiant.

I went inside and it had only been about 1:45 since ingestion and I was already very high. I closed my eyes to check for cev's but there were none yet. My body was buzzing with warmth and I felt very comfortable. I decided to take a shower which was thoroughly enjoyable. The smells of the soaps were astoundingly sharp and rich.

Upon getting out of the shower I looked in the mirror and immediately began to feel silly. I tried to look in the mirror with same dejected, defeated look that I start every work day with and I couldn't do it. Every time I tried I would burst out laughing. I felt silly for ever wearing that beaten down expression, but without an ounce of condemnation. I loved my stupidity the way I love watching a dog chase it's tail. It was beautiful.

I walked out to the living room and sat on the couch. I was grinning ear to ear and experiencing vivid cev's at this point. It looked two flat surfaces, one upper and one lower, that were being shaken like rugs, and on each rug were morphing fractal patterns that expanded and diminished eternally. I enjoyed this for some time before deciding to retire to my bedroom.

The darkness of the bedroom appeared like the cev's earlier only now the blankets had become translucent and were colored much like the night levels of the Nintendo classic Rad Racer. I had to feel my way to the bed, once there I began thinking introspectively.

I started thinking about mind body dualism, and specifically the lack of definitive knowledge of the mechanism that creates the witnessing phenomena we call consciousness. "Why all this witnessing?" I asked. I thought about the consequences of all the witnessing... the beauty and the suffering. I posed these questions in different ways until a voice said to me, "It's a gift." I cried out, "IT'S A FUCKING GIFT!" laughing aloud with tears streaming down my face.

I decided to continue with the line of questioning. "If consciousness weren't dependent on material, what would be the consequences? It would seem that the experience of consensus reality is highly limited. What it be like to be a witness without the limitations of the material world?" I asked...

Suddenly the world of forms lifted up like a cap and beneath it was revealed a deep space field with stars being born and dying, nebulae expanding, and galaxies swirling. I enjoyed this spectacle for some time before noticing something in the scene that was hidden in plain sight. This cosmic field was wearing the world of forms like a cloak, and through some strange Escher-like manipulation of dimensionality, the cosmos was viewing itself through all of the witnesses in the world of forms.

I understood why there is beauty. I understood why there is suffering. I understood that witnesses all accumulate this experience and regardless of the quality of the experience it imprints on us. It feeds our ego narrative, and it narrows our range of experience. I wondered what it would be like to look at another as just the witness, and how it would be impossible to judge that witness. I delighted in this understanding and experienced overwhelming joy and love for what seemed like hours.

This stopped when I remembered that I was in my bed. I was so grateful for the gentleness and generosity the mushrooms had shown me. I got up and felt my way out of the bedroom, and decided to smoke a joint to see if I could return to a similar realm to the one I had just emerged from.

I went outside and smoked the joint, and it was calming but did not intensify the psychedelic effects. I thought about my friend and family who had passed away and how I had loved them and how I had failed them. I forgave myself and felt immense compassion for every human that has existed or will exist, myself included.

I have not been the same since. I have been better. I am looking forward to my next trip, but I will give it time. The mushrooms were so generous and I do not want to be greedy.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for reading. This was a very important experience for me, and I have no one around me who thinks of psychedelics as having a very positive therapeutic potential.

As a materialist, agnostic who leans heavily toward strong atheism, it has become clear to me that the psychedelic experience, when approached with the right intention, can serve as a sort of non-verbal substitute for religious belief or spirituality. In this relationship, whether or not the psychedelic experience is representative of any objective reality is irrelevant. The important thing is that it pushes hard enough on the materialist viewpoint to inject mystery back into our lives.

And the sense of mysteriousness is likely the driver of all human achievement.

Whoa... that got deep. I didn't mean to do that but it's 7:20 AM and I am stoned.

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
