my relationship to the 2012 meme

[xise]

After deep meditations I feel similarly to "come-up" period on shrooms - the period where you just took them but where you haven't hit the peak (usually takes 2 hours).

In the come up period, you feel more peaceful, you chakras are energized, colors are more vivid, life just seems great. You see colors when you close your eyes. Sometimes the wall seem to breath ever so slightly.

Of course, depending on how much you take and the strength, the peak can be pretty insane. It definitely blows open the barriers in your own mind between your unconscious/suppressed fears and your conscious mind. It also feels like there is no longer a barrier between you and the spirit world. You feel spirit, and especially positive or negative energy depending on where you are and your mindset. You seem to be able to talk to a side of yourself, maybe your higher self, or an inner plane guide, at ease. You also feel like your thoughts will manifest your reality, which is great, except if you get negative then you can get stuck in a fear loop where you are thinking terrifying thoughts and the feeling of fear builds your fear even more. It tends to polarize your energy and your intention.

For me, the best way to do shrooms, especially for the first time, is to view it as a cleansing and don't except it necessarily to be all positive or all negative, just that it is, so that you won't worry about negativity/"bad trip" and that if you go negative, you won't be stuck thinking "oh god I'm having a bad trip" which intensifies the fear. Do it with a good positive friend and sitter (someone who has done it before). Do it during daytime. Do it around wildlife if possible. Do a small amount (preferably less than 1/8 oz, though my first time I took a weak 1/8, then 3 hours later when I should have peaked took another 1/8) - although if you're doing much less than 1/16, you probably will only feel the come-up effects without the peak.

The entire high tends to last 7 hours, but you feel much older and wiser and contemplative for at least 8-12 hours, and definitely have aftereffects for days on how you view life imho.

One time I was solo shrooming on 3/16 oz and during the peak, felt kundalini energy all over my back (before I was overtly spiritual) and asked to see the face of god. My pandora was playing through wireless, and maybe once every eight hours of constantly playing it would stop due to a net connection problem. I s*** you not, within seconds my pandora stopped playing. I went over, and this is what album cover it stopped on:



hell yeah. lol. shrooms are fucking awesome
