5.6 grams = ESP

I have been lookin for shrooms for a long time now and two months ago my friend Greg and I were able to score 2 ounces dry. We decided to trip that very weekend with our friend Eric who is more experienced with shrooms than the both of us. This would be my 2nd time tripping and Greg's first time. It was Eric's 5th or 6th time.
Around 6pm on a friday, I arrive at Eric's and Greg follows shortly after. Eric's parents have left for the weekend so we are extremely excited about the upcoming trip. For some reason I convinced Greg to bring the full 2 ounces just so we could show Eric our stash. Now, both Eric and I have a very high tolerence to alcohol and other drugs so we decide to each eat the two biggest shrooms possible. We weighed them and mine clocked in at 5.6 grams dry and his was 5.5. We decided to only let Greg consume 1/8 because it was his first time and he's the kind of person that freaks out when something funny happens to his body.
After eating our shrooms with a few beers, the nausea kicks in really hard for both Eric and I. Its only been 20 minutes but I am feeling like shit already. Soon the nausea passes and the visuals begin. Eric quickly takes me downstairs to show me his usual trip area. He dims the lights just right and everything begins to flow together. The wood paneling on his walls and the plaid couch all started to twist and swirl. It was amazing. I could have stayed down there for hours but we decided to hang out in his living room. This is where the high of the trip took place.
Eric's living room has like a 20ft ceiling that comes to a point at the top with a ceiling fan hanging 10ft above us. Greg, Eric and I all sat down in a triangular fasion so we could all see each other quite easily. For an unknown reason we start talking about life and its purpose. We talk of energy and its inability to be destroyed or created, meaning we must all be tied together both physically and mentally with everyhting that surrounds us. We talk of God and how one man could never have such a responsibility. Maybe thousands of years ago when the bible was written and shrooms were legal, people could assosicate with one another on a different level other than reality. Maybe God represents the human race as everyone and everything, not some being but all of humanity put together. At this point I could not feel my physical body, it was like all my energy in my entire being was going to my brain. It felt wonderful. I remembered something from the movie Powder where one of the characters states, "Einstein once said that if humanity could ever surpass its technology, there would be no need for the human body to exist. Instead we would live amongst each other mentally." Life was all making sense to me at this point. I also remember reading about recent scientific studies conducted on the human mind. It is now believed that once you die, your conscieness lives on by itslef. It is true that the human mind physically lives for 15 minutes after your heart stops. All of these facts kept running through my head and kept adding to our philosophy on life. I asked both Greg and Eric if they felt the same way and thats when I noticed that both of them were crying and before I said anything, Eric states, "Im crying becasue it feels good man."
By now we have been talking about life for a good hour and what I am about to describe to you next still freaks me out becasue it truly happened. Eric, Greg, and I began to finish each others sentences. At first we thought it was just a coincidence but then it got stronger and more evident. Soon we were taking to each other using almost just our minds. Here and there we would say something but before we finished someone else would. We were not rambling or talking crazy but everything was making sense. It felt great. Breathing felt like the best thing in the world.
Next we talked of death and that maybe we all live again after we die in some kind of afterlife cycle that will continue forever. That would explain deja vu. We agreed that maybe learning is just a way of rediscovering what you already know. Completely random facts from a past life that reamin dorment until they are awakened by what you see or hear in the world.
For a few hours more we continued to talk about life and why people are so cruel to each other when it feels so much better to be nice. Maybe thats heaven we concluded, where everyone can feel for the other person. Perfect harmony.
Soon Greg became aggitated and isolated himself so Eric and I went outside to take in some visuals. After a few minutes Greg comes outside and sits down. By now I am sobering up and I have a complete memory of what just took place. I kept asking myself if what just happened actually happened or if it was just me tripping out and imagining that we all had ESP for an hour or two. After a few minutes Eric turns to both Greag and I and says, "Guys that was the most awesome, good feeling, trip I have ever had. It was like we had ESP or something in there. That was freaky." Now I know it really happened and Greg turns and says, "Yea. That really kinda freaked me out. I could feel what you and Eric were thinking"
-------------------- So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I forgot to mention the significance of the room. As we began to finish each other's sentences I felt as if the room was spinning. We were sitting in a sort of triangle formation and when we talked our conversation would spin around the room between the three of us. With every philosophical statement I felt like we were spinning closer and closer together like the room itself. It was like we figured out life and how it worked. The room represented society and we were spinning ourselves to the top.

After cruising through some posts on this board I came across the title of a book that someone on this site has recommended reading to everyone: "The Key" by Whitley Strieber. After reading some reviews online, this book sounds like it discusses the same philosophical ways that Greg, Eric and I experienced during our trip. I'm kind of freaked out and need to read this book ASAP. Maybe shrooms help people concentrate on what is right in front of us. Life.

I guess you read the 'MEDITATION - The Key to having the BEST shroom trips'-thread from Related Threads, below? Its a great read.
I read that same thread too few hours ago. 
Maybe you all were so into the subject and you are so much alike that your minds were thinking alike. Like twins communicate? Maybe shrooms just opened all of your minds to concentrate and work closely synchronized.

I've had 2 trips with friends where we were communicating telepathically, finishing each others sentences, or not even speaking at all but communicating specific meaning and ideas. It really is quite astonishing, and bizarre. Many a time I was afraid I'll never get to have my own private thoughts again!!!
