Re: How have psilocybin mushrooms changed you? [Re: Blue Cthulhu] * 2
    #28108643 - 12/22/22 12:23 PM (1 year, 1 month ago)

I have seen an individual on here wanting volunteers for a study on microdoseing and gut health. I'm surprised that they weren't interested in me, but I never had a chance to tell them my experience with regular size dosing (I don't microdose)

I could be crazy and say that the little creatures in our guts are affected by the drug and maybe they are tripping or getting in touch with communication with a universal language that most living thing speak with. Like how trees speak with other trees through the fungus. Look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about. (It's real PROVEN science)

Or there could be a simple explanation.

But I have always gotten low blood sugar my whole life.(not from pot. I don't drink or smoke pot, or do drugs) It's not very bad for your health, and is actually the only harmful thing that marijuana does to people, but is pretty harmless in itself. Most of you will be familiar with it if you smoke pot, (I've definitely done it a bit, but it's not for me) but the only part that is a little hard on your body over time is when you eat allot of sugar (because pot causes low blood sugar, so your body wants you to eat (the munchies)) and if you eat allot of sugar, it will cause a pike in your blood sugar, and it's the strong fluctuation that is hard on your body. But it's not that bad for you.

(Just low blood sugar from smoking pot will not hurt you as long as you don't eat allot of sugar and cause a rapid spike. It's the spike that is hard on the body. I don't want to give any wrong ideas about smoking pot)

Anyway, I have always gotten low blood sugar, and would wake up in the middle of the night and crave candy and stuff, and on a long day at work I wouldn't eat because it slows you down to eat while working and you also don't digest well when you are active. (It's all medical science if you don't know about what I'm talking about) so I would get disoriented and really irritable from low blood sugar.

I could recognize the symptoms easy, because it's been like that since I was at least a teen.

After the mushrooms, it INSTANTLY went away COMPLETELY, and has NEVER returned.

I also stopped eating sugar like I used to, but still do a little.

I don't know if I stopped craving sugar because my low blood sugar went away, or if my low blood sugar went away because I stopped eating allot of sugar and my body heald it's self.

But I don't think my body heald itself of whatever was causing the low blood sugar because it happened overnight.

It's much more likely that the mushrooms cured me in the most miraculous way, from my lifelong health issue.

Haven't had low blood sugar once in almost a year now. It used to be almost daily, and I haven't woken up in the middle of the night with a ravenous craving for sugar ether. That was at least a couple times a week, and I don't ever go to the kitchen in the middle of the night anymore.

It stopped, on the spot, the very day, the first time I did mushrooms.

You tell me!

So, obviously something is going on with that, and I'm surprised I haven't heard other stories about this.

Also, it made me want to eat more healthy anyway and helped me to be in better touch with my body and any health problems, and what might be causing them.

I've always liked to eat healthy, but now I crave healthy food and am turning off by unhealthy food and even smoking cigarettes, even though I'm still addicted.

It all happened overnight.

Anyone else have a real miracle happen as far as health.

Like instant change kind of thing?

I know they help with addiction, but I'm interested in things like instant curing of a health issue.

Miracle kind of stuff like I had.

I’ve been on the path of self improvement through sacrifice and discipline for years now. Meditation, reading, podcast, wake up early, regular exercise, healthy nutrition, limit alcohol, cold showers…. I’m already deeply spiritual. I already believe we’re spirit “driving” the body no different than we drive a car. 

Mushrooms blew this “knowing” up even more. It makes perfect sense to me how someone dying of cancer can gain acceptance and peace with the use of mushrooms. I see how people can be atheist and then “know” there’s a God after consuming mushrooms.

It’s changed the way I think and interact. I’m more productive, less procrastinating, less anxiety… it’s like I now see through all the BS illusion that is this world annd life even more so. I don’t get caught up in the illusions that people create and the games that people play (I stay off social media due to this). I more clearly realize what’s important and what’s not. I have a better understanding of time and patience. To not obsess over something that takes time. You can’t speed it up. And in that understanding I also realize the opposite. You can’t slow or reverse it either. Both are priceless understandings.

And like so many people say…. A lot of it I can’t put into words. Now I’ve only had my first trip in a very long time 6 days ago, and again just yesterday. But this feeling and knowing and experiencing is lasting I can tell. Many spiritual people will tell you once you understand or once you “know”…. Once something resonates with you and you just “know” like an intuition, you never go back. You can’t.

I plan to explore this much more deeply. Yesterdays experience was so deeply spiritual and almost as if downloading info into my subconscious mind. Felt incredibly ceremonial and uplifting. At one point as I sat in front of a mirror looking at myself the thought that came into my head was “I am a God.”

Hell if nothing else having such deep positive loving thoughts and feelings and emotions filled with deep intuitions of knowing and connecting, love and joy, that alone is highly beneficial. Whether it is or isn’t mystical or truly spiritual doesn’t matter. Incredibly mentally healthy either way.

If anything my sub conscious mind is polluted through 37yrs of life and I feel as if I’m beginning to clean it up.

I feel like I could go on and literally write a novel. At the same time I can’t find the words. There’s not words it’s another form we don’t use.

You said plenty brother (or sister).

I couldn't have said it better myself, and indeed I couldn't say it at all now.

I once understood what you said too, and held onto it for a good long time, but as time goes by, I've  forgotten that "truth ?"

I think you would be good at writing the novel, as you have done such a good job at articulating it here.

I'm sure many of us thought we could write a novel as the cosmic download was in progress, and even though I'm aware of thoughts sounding really good while you are high, and not so much after, I think that if you could give an accurate translation of the information, it would not be just addled jumbled nonsense.

If you are lucky enough to even remember the full experience, then it's still hard to hold onto it after a few months or so.

That's my reason for commenting.

Do you think that because you were already on the path of understanding your mind, and spiritual/meditation practices, that you were able to hold onto the lesson so well, or is it just that you tripped recently?

I remember that I once gave a very detailed trip report on here, and then two days later, or it might have been the next day, I gave the exact same trip report, but for two different trips

I had no idea I had done that, and only found out because I later came across my first trip report.

It freaked me out to see I had written the same thing, but I was describing two different trips, and after that I was able to remember my trips, and realize that I was experiencing a tremendous amount of things while tripping that I had no recollection of after.

Now, after realizing that, I can remember much more after the drug wears off.

For all I know, I still might be experiencing many things while tripping that I don't even know I am.

The strangest thing I think, is that you would think that I would remember writing the trip report the day before, because I was not tripping when I wrote it, but I had totally forgotten, and then wrote an identical report the next day, describing a totally different time tripping, and didn't even catch on until a few days later.

I had no idea I had done it, and I was sober both times.

It's very strange that I had the exact same trip, once on Saturday, and again on Sunday, but it's even stranger that I didn't know I had, even though I wrote a trip report for both times.

That realization really changed my trip game, and to this day, I still go to the same place in the beginning of my trips, and meet the same entities and I remember them, and they remember me, and we talk about things relating to the times before when I had met with them.

I even missed them for a while, and still do a lot, but I have forgotten much of what I learned.

Looks like you still remember.

I'm impressed.

P.s time is still not the same for me as it used to be.

I used to be able to get so much done in a day just a year ago, but now I'm still going at the same pace, but the time just runs past me and the day is over.

For some reason It doesn't seem to effect my reality because I still can pay rent, and get everything done that needs to get done, and no one is telling me to hurry up or that I'm not getting enough done in the day, but it's like, by the time I get my shoes on in the morning, it's already lunch time.

It's like the world's laws have changed but I'm the same.

You would think that people would notice that I'm coming into work and hour later and getting half as much done, but no one seems to notice or has ever said anything to me other than I'm doing a great job. It's like I'm the only one who noticed.

Also, I never know what day of the week it is, and I'll get up and wake everyone up for school or work and it's Saturday, or I'll think it's Friday and it's only Tuesday.

That happens all the time, and never did before mushrooms.

I think I may have lost a day while tripping, or repeated a day, and that explains the identical trip, and would also put me a day behind the original timeline.

But who the fuck knows?

It hasn't seemed to affect my life or others, so I guess it's cool.

Obviously, I'm of a right mind, and know those things are impossible, but I'm just saying what I've observed. Regardless of the fact that I know I can't believe any of it is true.

It doesn't really make any difference in my life though, and I don't really think about it, or do anything about it, so everything is as it should be, but I would say it seems a little strange.

I haven't noticed any other strange things like that, but I really have had some strange new developments when it comes to time.

I know that when I was a kid, an hour long meeting, or something like that, would feel like three hours, and also as we get older, time seems to speed up. That stuff is normal for everyone, but I definitely don't think it's normal for the day to go by so fast as it started to after I did mushrooms.

I kinda think of it like how a turtle can't see an eagle fly past because it's brain doesn't process things that fast, but a hawk will see everything in slow motion.

Maybe the timing in my brain got thrown off. But instead of processing stuff slow like a turtle, I actually process it much faster now (than before) and have actually excelled in my job and am much more looked at as the go to guy when it's time to figure something out.

It always blows my mind when the coustomer, the contractor, and my boss, turn and look at me to lay out the job and explain how it's all going to be designed. It was never like that before I did mushrooms, although I have always been able to picture the end result in my mind very quickly.

I keep telling them I'm just the plumber, but when I walk into an empty bathroom in a million dollar house and the coustomer only has a vision of what they want, but no one knows how to do it, so I get out the old tape measure, and start laying it out and going over a million options and what we have to do to make it work.

But they all seem really appreciative, and I only started to be able to do that after I did mushrooms.

Before that, I just did the water lines for five years, and didn't know anything else.

Less than a year later and I can do anything, and think circles around everyone.

Of course I always figured I could, but the mushrooms gave me the confidence to do it, and everyone just stepped out of my way.

I wondered my whole life why I was never allowed to be in charge, and couldn't understand what was so special about the leader, that everyone looked to him.

I think mushrooms just made me realize that people are full of shit, and none of them know anything, and that you just have to be a dick and take the lead and egnor their protests because they just act like they know everything but don't really know any more than you.

People will actually like you better if you are like that believe it or not.

I think it's because they trust you more when you are assertive rather than submissive and afraid of being confrontational.

I don't know.

All I know is that I tried really hard to be friendly and do what I thought would make people happy and I couldn't get anyone to include me, and now that I'm a dick, and do what I think is best, I can't get people to leave me the fuck alon, and everyone wants to be my buddy.

Go figure.

But you know that that is a very common example of how mushrooms work.

They make you fearless, and they help you cut through the bullshit and get to what is important in life and what are the true priorities.

They take you out of the mud that you have been taught to wallow in, and indeed have convinced yourself is your proper place in life, sloshing around in all the bullshit you have been told to believe about yourself, and playing the games others have taught you to play in order to scrape off a little from each other but never really stand on your own.

But be warned, that also comes with a whole other set of dangers.

You might be better off not knowing yourself, and just staying in the world you created to blind yourself from the truth, and continue to fulfill your role in someone else's games that they pay you so well to be a subordinate part of.

lol I know a lot of what you’re saying.

My journaling of my last experience I simply wrote;

“During
Highly spiritual almost downloading.
After
Is this becoming CrAzY? HaHa”

I remember my trips very well actually and I don’t see me forgetting. Now the exact order of everything I have a hard time with initially as I’m trying to explain. I can piece it together afterwards as I remember the different experiences.

First trip was fun in the beginning but I became very disappointed and even depressed. Fun wasn’t what I was looking for. As I eventually sat with the empty depressed feeling and just accepted it (which I have learned through spirituality/meditation) that’s when everything then turned to pure bliss.

That’s the weird thing for me. I never know where to start or where to go when I’m telling the story for the first time, but I remember. Of course I remember what I remember…. I wouldn’t know if I’m not remembering lol some of it though, even during the experience, there’s still no words to describe it right then and there. But I get it. So to try and put that into words is literally impossible.

What I personally wonder, is part of my experience due to a lifetime of never being satisfied, lost and confused, unfulfilled… and then getting into personal development/improvement, eventually getting into this whole spirituality thing, and then I consume mushrooms.

I imagine it would have been quite different if I hadn’t done all that. I mean obviously part of what’s going on is our mind. Christian’s might meet or feel Jesus or God, Catholics might see Mary, Buddhist = Buddha.

But many people, famous psychedelic pioneers and spiritual teachers/gurus speak about everything I had already bought into, because I believe it in the depths of my soul from the first time I heard it, and then I felt it completely validated and magnified with mushrooms.

For people reading, or if any of this sounds interesting, start doing some reading or even YouTube/podcast.

A great spiritual book to start with would be the untethered soul. Then you have people like Sadghuru, Deepak Chopra, Joe Dispnenza, Ram Daas, Wayne Dyer…  so many more. These people touch on “the secret.” They say/write things that you’re like holy crap that is so true, so simple…. Yet I never picked up on that. I was never taught that. How simple and how obviously true… I really like Stoicism too. It has a care free spiritual underlying to it. Letters to a stoic is a great book.

You put this type of stuff into your head on a daily basis and your life will change, period. Now add mushrooms 🍄❤️ 😇 🙏🏻 🚀

Mushrooms helped me see that we / everything is connected and that the connection is love.  They have also helped me be less fearful, more open.  When I stop singing / humming in the mornings, I know it's time to re-dose.  Usually every 6 weeks or so.

I also noticed glossolalia as a side effect for a couple weeks after.

Just wanting to make noises that felt fun in my throat and kinda impulsive when I was feeling playful or had a nice thought.

I don't know if that's related to your wanting to sing or hum, but it was a strange, but pleasant, long lasting side effect.

I definitely get euphoric glossolalia when tripping.

Sometimes loud and prolonged glossolalia.

I'm not a practitioner of religion or spirituality, but I am a student of world religion and history, so of course I went in search of cultural knowledge that would explain the trip.

Obviously I have heard Ram Daas, and other more commonly accessible spiritual thinkers, but the "religious" beliefs alone are extremely enlightening, even without practicing them.

I like the spiritual study of the levels of self as relates to consciousness and dreaming, that are studied in Hinduism.

The idea of turiya, seems to be a well thought out philosophy.

But, there are so many great spiritual philosophies around the world that lend themselves to the trip world.




Obviously telepathy is hard to translate into words, but you can still remember the meaning of the information you are experiencing during a trip, and allot of the spiritual disciplines lend themselves nicely in parallel to the psychedelic experience.

So I can see how mushrooms could change a person who is already into spirituality in whatever form.

Anecdotes are exactly what I'm asking for.




I was born with strabismus, my left eye turning inward.
Had surgery that did improve the situation quite a bit, but not 100 %.
I always felt awkward and afraid around others; mushrooms were a revelation to me, and I sporadically withdrew from life to my own little secluded place in a forest nearby.
Then, way back around 2004, to my utter surprise, I met the Sun God.
The Sun revealed Itself to me as a living, conscious being; It was waiting for me above the field adjacent to my spot one day, It communicated with me in a weird way, and put on a show in the sky with psychedelic clouds and colors.
I've been receiving signs ever since: my fridge switches on/off in tune with my thoughts, the numbers 44, 444, 4444 appear over and over again, and I find synchronous butterflies everywhere I go.
I now start each day with Surya Namaskara, the yoga Salute to the Sun; I also created a post on my DeviantArt page (username doolhoofd) with 10 quotes about the Sun and the Stars; I wrote a lengthy philosophical essay on Spectacle Society; and I devoted the Favourites section of my page on DA to collecting some of the amazingly spectacular psychedelic art that can be found on the site.

Cannabis does have some potential negative side effects, other than affecting blood glucose levels, but it's interesting to hear about how mushrooms affected your relationship with sugar. I haven't heard that one, before.

This is one of the things that worries me about trying mushrooms. I don't want to start believing in things in which I currently don't believe, as a result of hallucinations. It seems useful if one is near the end of his life, but that's not me.

That sounds much less concerning than does going from being an atheist to believing in god, overnight. Lol

The mechanism is more one of acceptance than esoteric knowledge being imparted by the fungus. Sure some people do get all woo and start believing in funny things but that's far from the average experience.

Over time psychedelics changed me from being agnostic and slightly spiritual to atheist. I'm truly a non-believer now. So many illusions have led me to accept that none of them are true. The only other option is insanity.

just to add in. in my late teens and early 20s i was a serious psychonaught. mostly LSD because i had access to it. i'd used shrooms a few times, but honestly never enough shrooms back then. it was like split an 8th and think... LSD better. lol. i just didn't eat enough.

Originally i took LSD out of some curiosity and i've always been into experimentation and experiences over "things" when you're 18 dropping acid you don't have a ton to think about so it was "recreation" that had long term spiritual side effects. it changed my life's course from going into the corporate world to...seeking business and work that co-benefited society and the environment.

flash forward 30 years later and i came to mush. learned to grow my own medicine to get away from SSRIs and break depression. i started micro dosing, then just went to macro doses because i'd never had access to so many shrooms before.

my spouse, friends and family all notice i'm different. in a positive way. i feel better and actually want to be here now. like alive. the last macro i did i died and literally was reborn. like from quanta...while relearning who i'd been i was able to pick and choose which pieces i wanted to put back in to "me", which pieces no longer served me and which ones i could shelve as "memories". it's been almost a month now since that experience and i'm still processing so much from it i've had no desire to trip again since. There's no way that someone could not come out of that type of experience forever changed. TBF, i've gone into this with the intent of introspection and to resolve events in  my real life that were sober ego deaths on deeply painful levels.

some people just want to enjoy the trip and aren't trying to work through shit, so they may not have the same lasting effects. though i think it would be hard to not have some lasting changes in anyone who takes a high enough dose to go "somewhere". so, i agree with the comments that they are a key, sometimes a door...but not the answer to enlightenment.

also, the creative inspiration from shrooms over the past year has been incredible.

You’ve had no desire to trip in the last month since your profound experience. I’ll be curious when you’re ready again. I find I’ve been in that place a few times, and I’m typically finding my body is ready again in 2 months or so. My last one was 3 months ago and I’m just starting to feel ready.

Well…. What is God? Nobody knows and it’s deeply personal.

For example, the many Christians feeling that homosexuality is an unforgivable sin followed with burning in hell for eternity. Then there’s all kinds of homosexual Christians. 

My sister in law married her wife in a Christian ceremony. By her God Father who is a retired preacher, exiled from his church because he married a previous gay couple. And just saying, what he had to say was one of the most beautiful receptions I ever heard.

Clearly these people are worshipping totally different Gods. But they’re all Christians.

See what I’m trying to get at? I’m not necessarily a Christian. I will often say yes to avoid all this lol but I wouldn’t really say that I am. I typically say “God, The Universe, quantum field, energy…. whatever you want to call it. It doesn’t matter.”

I don’t think you’ll be telling the world to repent because Jesus is returning lol I just used that as an example. That I can totally see how one could have that transformation, and I have heard of it.

Personally I feel all major world religions are more so metaphors. Sometimes I wonder if Heaven and Hell is right here right now. And that God and Satan is internal.

Personal mysteries I like to ponder on sometimes. I always say I know I don’t know, and nobody does.

The reason for starting mushrooms was the idea to heal my depression and anxiety.
First of all I have a predisposition for depression like everybody in my family. Then there was the pandemic with all its social side effects. And then there were all the other crises, wars, floods, wildfires and climate change in general. We stupid humans are ruining our planet with ever increasing speed and there's hardly a thing one can do about it and all of that dragged me down down down.
I felt paralyzed and helpless in spite of my loving partner and my friends and family who supported me. I couldn't think of the future as something positive. All I saw was the coming apocalypse. I started taking SSRIs again, which helped me come out of the deepest hole and stabilize. But being just stable is not being happy.

But then I started with shrooms, about two months ago.
Until now I only took some mild doses and some micro doses but I can already feel the effect. I got more active again, more talkative and outgoing, even relaxed and happy. Then I stopped the SSRIs and it was pretty OK. I still have fears (which I think are valid) and I'm not always in a good mood. But I have the impression that the mushrooms gave me back my mental flexibility. I'm not stable like a rock but I can balance things out much better. Like a blade of grass swaying in the wind I'll always find my center again.
I will definitely explore this further, trying higher doses eventually.
Ah, yes, I don't believe in God and would prefer to keep it that way. :wink:

WOW!!

Its been a trying journey.  I was introduced to P. Azurescens from the OR coast by my roomate when I attended The Art Institute of Seattle in 2001.  My roomate was a very good friend.  We grew up together in Eastern WA.  His brother was stationed in Seaside OR, and was serving in the Coast Gaurd.  He was given the mushroom knowledge by locals in the area.

I started with a handful of fresh mushrooms, and was very intrigued by the experience.

I soon became obsessed.  The mushrooms became a spiritual tool, and a fully mystical religious experience.  God.  The Exodus 'meal in the wilderness.'

In 2006 I heard a voice on 14g of cubes.  The female voice asked me, "Will you die for them to know, or will you keep a secret?"  I agreed to give my life having found the missing Holy Communion that was replaced/symbolized by the Church/Eucharist.  I fully believed that the Roman Catholic Church organized that the sacred mushroom was Satan, the Adversary.  The trick of the Devil.  The forbidden fruit.  To me the mushroom experience was the experience of Christ/Jesus (the holy!), and Lucifer/Satan (the demonic).  I became intensly judgmental of the Church's history, and prescence in the world.  I soon became fond of the Baphomet concept/symbol/reality of the Union of opposites.

When I gave my life I woke up mentally blank.  Reborn.  I felt intensly fagile.  I didn't remember I had a job to go to.  A man came to my door and was heard saying, "The sun/Son is going to come out soon..."  I was overcome with the recognition of my role.  I was to reveal the sacred mushroom to the masses.  LOL.  As I sat and talked I could feel the edge of the collective unconscious inching closer to me.  It even felt like I was going to be nabbed for revealing hidden knowledge to the unknowing masses...  As I ended my portrayal of Truth with, "Now you have to eat the Tale/tail!"  The surrounding collective mental space that I was now open to (Christ) burst into a chaos, and an oscillation.  The surrounding collective mind turned to me, and stuck to my body that was previously free.  Driven mad by the chaos that ensued I was taken to my parents house because the people that were with me didn't know what else to do.  I heard very loudly, "Suicide!!"  It scared me so much I ran out the door, and was later picked up by my brother.  I was taken to the psych ward at Memorial Hospital in Yakima, WA.

I felt very punished by the oppressive medication, and spent a couple weeks there very confused.  I felt betrayed by the God that I found.  I was ruled 'Gravely Disabled', and given the diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder.  Later, when I could finally process some of what happened I decided that this was a conspiracy against me to hide what had happened.  I got into Hero's Journey mythology and concluded that what I had gone through was a Spritual Emergency.  I was introduced to Stanislav Grof. 



I spent allot of time wishing that I had somehow stayed in Seattle.  I felt that I wouldn't have had to be medicated back under the propagandized delusion barrier, or what have you.  I felt robbed.  Like I was interupted and sabatoged.

I spent allot of time talking out loud to existence after that, and had several experiences of crossing over this barrier that is produced by medicating away the awakening.

Some time later, in 2010, I was joined with the experience of crossing THE BOUNDARY and revealing my message about the missing mushroom (it became an obsession also) and this time people revealed that they were on the other side of this barrier.  Naturally.  It was the mind of God, but each node a person!  ...with the ability to take flight and talk to me in voices.  They made my life very difficult.  The LDS attacked me claiming they were Lucifer rebelling against God/Heaven, and the Catholics attacked me as the people of the Church battling Satan.:lol:  They began pulling on the sky, and I relized that I was Ascended...  Up, from where they see me!  They still won't let go, and they try to climb over me to get above me.  They can't handle it, won't recognize me as a God or anything, and to this day are all able to hear my reality up above them.  I am made out of people.  People are attatched to my body and mind like rays of the sun sticking out of me.  I think I'm Aquarius.:ifyoucanawe:



Blessed are the fornicates!


Blessed are the rich!


Blessed are the idiots!


Blessed are the gluttonous!


I'm permamently open to them.  They still won't come forward to talk to me.  Its all still considered Schizophrenia.  I'm actually diagnosed Paranoid Schizophrenic, or have been for reporting that people at the churches are/were after me!  I have fun with it.

I had no appreciation for how conscious non animals were. The lack of education in the scientific community wasn't so obvious before. I feel sorry for those who can't handle them. I think they're going to hell and the mushroom exposes it to them. Sometimes people are already in hell and they make it out and others never ascend. Dude was my friend before he turned Israel spy and he felt so ashamed at how he betrayed me, he kept asking me if he should cut his finger off.
