shrooms, oral weed consumption, and HENDRIX

It was 2:00 in the afternoon and class was over for me. My roommate and I had an 1/8 of high test shrooms each and an 1/8 of weed to be shared. It was Friday and we were eager to get our trip underway. We were gonna take a new approach to it this time. Instead of smoking continuously, We decided to make an sort of tea out of half and half and weed. We figured this would work because half and half is pretty fatty. The tea was prepared by 2:30 and we finished it off by 2:45. At 3:00 the shrooms were downed and the waiting game began. We played some Smash Brothers on the N64 and then decided after smoking two bowls we'd go out to the backyard. We finished smoking at around 3:20 and went out back where we started out pretty sane. We were a little high from the bowls at first but this built into the most incredible euphoria I've ever experienced from a drug. At this point I feel like the shrooms were just barely starting to kick in. My roommate and I smoked a couple cigarettes feeling on top of the world when things started to take a turn...a turn toward the mind bending, twisted but entertaining world of mushrooms. At this point it was around 3:30-3:35 and we decided it was time to separate and retire to our respective quarters and listen to some tunes. I immediately decided to to try something new for shrooms, listening to Hendrix, eyes closed. I almost feel guilty for not doing this sooner but I am all kinds of glad that I experienced it once in my life. I really don't understand how some of Hendrix's music is acceptable to play in public. Songs like "Fire" and "Foxy Lady" were so full of eros that I was having a bodygasms. Sex would have a hard time being that pleasurable. "Castles Made of Sand" instilled in me a sense of well being that was like a bad trip vaccine. There's just something about Hendrix's music that speaks to me on a whole nother level than the language in the lyrics. While listening to my premade play list of my favorite Hendrix tunes my roommate swung in to see how I was doing and the first words out of his mouth were "Your room is insane!" He sat down enjoying the way my room must have been moving for him and we got to talking a bit until our gaze came upon this print I have framed of a water color painting of Hendrix:

There was a key difference to the painting which we both saw. It wasn't a painting anymore. it was a screen, then a portal through which I could see Hendrix performing Purple Haze for me from beyond the grave. I know how to play the song on guitar and I could see his fingers and everything. He played the song note for note for the two of us in perfect synchronization with the sounds I was hearing from my speakers at the time. This is quite literally one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me on shrooms. After rocking out to Hendrix for a bit longer, we both went into my roommates room and chilled listening to various songs from the RPG's he plays and "The Odyssey" by Symphony X. It was there that I discovered the true nature of existence. When the universe was created in the Big Bang all that existed in that singularity is pure energy. Everything that is the universe came to be in a cosmic explosion of the energy which then started to condense into matter. In a sense everything physical that we consider the universe is merely an over complication of this original energy...this complication manifests itself in paradoxical loops. i.e. If matter comes from energy, and energy comes from the break down of matter...what is energy actually made of? In my opinion, it is made of nothing. Nothing inherently exists except for the soul/consciousness. The rest of it is only what we as a collective consciousness perceive. All we are as living organisms are matter that can contemplate itself. That contemplative ability is the soul/consciousness. Therein lies another loop. In fact almost every system can be broken down into something loop like. Thats all this existence is, loop after loop, system after system created by those that are trying to explain what they see. If they would stop trying to explain and start trying to just accept, things would be much simpler. Life in the end is just a huge over-complication of nothing. This is not to say it cannot be enjoyed...just that it might not be quite what you think it is. I'd say I had these ideas when I was peaking. During this time I got some insane visuals...living things seemed to have an energy that I could see. My roommate and myself seemed to be full of it, while the rest of the people I saw had it but much less of it. It was pretty crazy. At one point I looked at my roommate and he had three faces two on the sides of his head and one in the normal place. Another idea that I had was that perfect silence cannot be experienced because the individual perceiving it would be making noise to begin with. Also during this time, verbs did not make a lot of sense to me. They didn't really seem too important and at one point I was questioning why they were even created. There was a lot going on during the peak...I can't even remember some of the stuff because my thoughts were moving so fast. After the peak I feel in love with the English language. Metaphors, similes and descriptive language became extremely easy to create for me. I came to the conclusion that it takes an experience beyond the descriptive power of language to make one really appreciate it. English is a language of approximation, it is really very difficult to describe things exactly in English. I'd assume this applies to most if not all other languages as well. Using language in an appealing way is an art form. The trick is to approximate your ideas closely enough that the reader can understand and relate to you. If I ever trip like this again I'm going to be sure to have a notebook and pen because I could write some great stuff in that mind state. I was very eloquent with words during this time. Shortly after I gained my new found love for language, I had to take a crap. Seriously, one of the worst and best experiences I've had. Was it gross feeling? yes. Was it unpleasant feeling? Not really. I had a conversation about the importance of having good humor to get one's self through a trip intact with my roommate through the bathrooms door as I purged. Which brought on some sidesplitting laughter once I realized what I was doing. After that, there was a lot more music and Smash Brothers. While playing the game, I noticed something weird. My concentration was anywhere but on the game, but I was holding my own. I think I played the game so much in my lifetime that my subconscious can play it while I think about other things. After the numerous round of smash brothers the trip was pretty much over and by 10:30 I was completely done tripping so I ordered a pizza and crushed that before smoking a bit more and going to bed.

Purple haze, all in my brain, lately things just don't seem the same. Actin' funny but I don't know why, 'scuse me while I kiss the sky.
