Back to the Mushroomsphere!
    #5599630 - 05/07/06 12:28 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)




(just sorting out my thoughts i guess, bear with me)

i got into mushrooms early. very early. In fact, mushrooms were the first drug i ever consumed. More hilariously, i didnt even know what i had eaten. I was probably 13-14 years old at the time. I was snooping in my brothers room and discoverd a small wooden box filled with an unidentified semi-powdered substance. Almost intuitively i proceeded to roll this powder into several amateur joints (at this point i had never even smoked weed).

I took these joints and went with a good friend to a nearby forest area. We smoked two of the joints and had no effect. Almost as an afterthought i pulled one open and ate it. Disapointed, we went our seperate ways and went home.

Half an hour later, i was asleep in bed, my novice attempt at drug use forgotten. Then i woke up. My first impression was of a face looking at me. A strange, alien face. My initial shock subsided as i realized that the face was my own reflected in my window. I felt very strange.

I spent a moment in deep confusion, seeming to watch my thoughtts as visual bubbles, floating hopelessly away from me. I got up in a state of anxiety and agitation . at no point did i recall the eaten joint of unknown substance or consider that i was having a drug experience. ( the powder was dried shrooms, i later confirmend)

feeling disasociated and afraid, i grabbed a brightly colored book from my shelf. it was really stupid one called "police humor" i trid to read it but couldnt focus on the words. I had the impression that the red cover was blood dripping on my hands.

Then i noticed my fluffy cat toby sitting on my desk. glad for his reasuring company i began stroking him. I had the distinct impression that he was looking at my face. Then, to my shock, he turned his head around, AND LOOKED AT MY FACE . In other words it seemed like he had 2 faces.

Thats about the last of the trip i can distinctly remember. The whole thing served to awaken my curiosity about shrooms. I had a series of amazing mushroom experiences over the next few years, few and far between and p recious.

At the same time, i was busily devouring all the literature i could find on spirituality, metaphysics, magick, lucid dreaming, astral projection, meditation, tantra et all. I got into pot smoking.

Anyways, all this culminated with a truly bizarre and staggering psychadelic experience when i was perhaps 16 or 17 years old. This one represented for me the first phase of my "psychadelic bar mitzvah" as terrence mckenna describes it .

Basically, i was at my cabing digesting books such as "the nature of personal reality" "conversations with god " and the tao te ching. I decided to eat some shrooms, the dosage is forgotten, probably 3-5 grams.

Anyways, the trip came on strong and strange. i experienced an overwhelming sensation of speaking with, or more accurately being spoken to, by a powerfull and infinitely intelligent presence. It was speaking with great clarity and relevance about all the most important questions in my mind. It spoke about my mental relationship to the world and the true depths of my potential. It really put things in my lap. it said "look, your in charge of your dream. NOW WHAT?"

it seemed like a huge load had been puit on me. Like i was being forced in one instant to assume responsibility for my whole existential journey. I honestly believe i was catapulted to a level of awakening similar to that of jesus christ of the buddha. I felt like i had a deep understanding of the fundamental mechanics of reality and was actually in my perception able to manifest objects that i desired, such as my hoody, or cause the radio to play songs with m ythought.

As this point i began to have a morbid thought. it occured to me that my dad, who was on his way out to the cabin from the city, was in a car accident. This filled me with huge unease. i tried hard to put the thought out of my mind but it kept reoccuring with greater urgency.

Finally i resolved to call my dads cell. i would just say hi and when i heard his voice id know i was just tripping and could relax. It was all ok. I called. He picks up. "hi dad, how are you?" his voice sounds shakn "oh, im ok dan. i just hit a bear on the road"

he was ok, the bear maybe not, he didnt stop to find out. it hit the side of his car, literally walking into it, thus preventing a possibly fatal accident by a fraction of a second.

Anyways, when i heard this my ontology collapsed even more. i saw this as real, objective and indisputable proof of the validity of what the mushroom was telling me. I KNEW my dad was in an accident, and he was. i knew because the mushroom told me. the same mushroom that was telling me things like "you create your own experience" and other reality bending truths.

Anyways, when i came down from that trip, which was so thick with synchrtonicities and revelations that i wont relate it all now, my enlightenment faded. i returned to a more normal state but i retained an awareness of the possibilities that lay latent in my conciousness.

So i determined to begin a program of spiritual practice with the goal of being able to maintain a psychadelic state of wisdom in sober day to day life. So ive practiced meditation, ritual, lucid dreaming, hyper awareness, yoga and martial arts and achieved many interesting and healing altered states of conciousness in these ways. ive also achieved a much greater level of health and happiness in my day ot day life.

I have even attained a glimmer of that psychadelic magic in my normal non shroomed life. it has been almost a year since my last trip.

Now i am coming full circle. I feel that my non mushroom meditation and metaprogramming have served to prepare my nervous system and brain for a more full and meaningfull immersion in the logos. My first trips were undertaken young, perhaps to young to make sense of all the information. My hope is that having prepared myself for this, i will begin a second wave of my shamanic journey that will take me to realms hithertoo unknown.

In the next two days i will undergo a classic mckenna style mushroom trip, 3 grams dried, closed eye in partial darkness and relaxing quiet. And i will converse with the universe.

Forgive me for being so dramatic. Ive been away from mushrooms for so long i guess im talking myself back up to reentering that world. For me, the fear of the mushroom trip is very real and a constant challenge for me in my journeys. I hope my practice in meditation and thought exercises will help me in this.

Anyways, i dont know if anyone cared about that but what the hell eh?

peace to all my fellow psychonauts. keep hunting the deeper dream.

Thanks for that refreshing statement I too are in the same boat i believe that my early mushroom experience's opened up a big ass can of worms so i went on to read many books the first Celestine prophecy is undoubtedly one of the triggers to make me want to learn some of the secrets of life Ive read on prophecy, healing, ancient civilizations,
spirituality and others.
Ive taken acid and other drugs since my mushroom days but never reached the same levels of consciousness it has been over 3 years now and I am ready to go again deep into my mind and out into the universe for the questions and answerers I'm looking for.
next year I'm planning to start a mission of healing I'm going to learn shiatsu acupressure massage and reiki which is a 3 year diploma after that who knows just help people I guess God knows we need it..
Only Love will prevail.

Absense of evidence is not evidence of absense...

"Religion is a defense against a religious experience"
              Carl G. Jung

 
"So really, ordinary reality is a kind of chemical habit, sanctioned by culture, which says it's okay to use certain drugs, eat certain foods, and have certain sexual behaviors. However, when you transcend all this pre-conditioning by returning to the original wisdom of the animal body, then you discover this immense dimension of opportunity. For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience."
Terence McKenna

Well , its been done . i have dipped again into the shamanic waters and found them glorious.

This morning i awoke to a beautifull sunny day, and i knew the time was right, so i ate my moderate dose of dry psilocybin shrooms at around 8 . I took a walk and watched the beutifull trees. i strolled casually until i began to feel the onset of the trip, fairly fast approaching. Then i walked home and retired to my room.

I put on a shamanic trance CD to guide me through the first nauseaus waves and into the psychadelic space beyond. The trip was potent, present, but manageable. I felt comfortable in the realms presented to me. Almost immediatly dystopic and morbid thoughts and images arose to my closed eyes and mind. I watched them with interest. each seemed to have a direct message for me, and by allowing them to rise and disapate felt healing, like i was purging my mental stockpiles of nightmares and obsessions.

With eyes open, i soon came to percieve an intricate web of shifting light tendrils, definetly visible but subtle and ethereal, curling with a definite animation and intelligence.

With my eyes closed, i began to see strange glyph like encrustments of information, something like Terrance mckennas 3d language. I practiced shamanic glossalalia, or improv chanting, and found that this had an obvious impact on my closed eye visuals. When i chanted, the visuals became more intricate and potent, when i stopped they receded.

I lay in bed for a long time, feeling like i was on a psychotherapists couch. Issues were presented to me, analyzed, and resolved. with each tangle with the psychedelic essence, i went through a phase of unease, then acceptance, then gnosis.

This experience was everything i hoped it would be. its confirmed in me that my meditation practices have made me more comfortable in the psychadelic realm. I am now eager to go deeper and pursue this shamanic path in earnest.

This has confirmed my hypothesis for me- that the best path for my life is one of day to day spiritual practice suplemented by periodic shamanic vision quests with psilocybin.

Peace To All,
