I have tripped on mushrooms 4 or 5 times prior to this. None of those experiences have been very spiritual or mystical in any way other then interesting visuals and a strong body high. I have also taken salvia twice, and the first time I ever tripped on salvia I had an extremely moving and disturbing experience where I felt as though my reality was crashing down around me. I literally went from being in my friend’s apartment to being in a small suburban town where children were telling me that my life wasn’t real.
Anyway I wasn’t expecting a spiritual experience from the mushrooms I was expecting fun lights, colors and sounds.
I wasn’t expecting a spiritual experience from the mushrooms I was expecting fun lights, colors and sounds.
The night started out normal, interesting textures that looked like they were constantly moving, music was moving these colors. About 3 hours into the trip I look over and realize that my friend was goo-ing and gah-ing like a baby and I realize we were in like a baby’s room of some sort. I was on Pandora trying to play Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd that my friend kept requesting and requesting only all I could see was my computer seeing, “No, that’s not what I want”. Which I interpreted as the computer telling me that I didn’t want to be comfortably numb.
That’s when I snapped too and told my friend I needed to go to bed, I couldn’t stay around him anymore. He is a good friend of mine but I was seeing him for “who he really was” which wasn’t really positive. Then my body was trying to explain to me that he was coming into my life and I was seeing it from the outside. Like I was watching a movie of me and my life only very abstract. (This whole time we were sitting on my porch)
I then walked through my house and up to my bedroom. As I was passing my living room Planet Earth was on. They were discussing the whale and the parenting habits of the this particular whale which I interpreted as going from the baby’s room of childhood to being an adult woman physically ready to bear children. My house had now become me and my body.
When I went to my bed I tried to sleep but couldn’t. Everything in my body was tense and that’s when I started to see God.
How can I explain the next couple of hours? I started thinking about certain people in my life and my connection with them. How we all are linked together but certain people you feel stronger connections with. I have never been one to believe in soul mates or fate but suddenly I knew who my soul mate was and that it was “fate” or a pull to this person.
The most important feeling that was pulling at me last night was the urge to tell people.

There was a time when I thought I was dying or already dead. Almost convinced. Not because my body had stopped working but because my mind was expanding. Next thing I know I am waking up to my phone ringing.
