shrooms can make you more empathetic, but in my case it also unlocked a new kind of depression in realizing that so many who need a change of perspective to see things that way, even for but a glimpse, never will. I felt such love and empathy for others in that moment, and such sorrow that it would never be felt nor returned by the vast majority of others; I understood perfectly in that moment what Edgar Mitchell meant by an "instant global consciousness", and how we would likely never achieve this state of enlightenment among enough individuals to matter.
consciousness is like a river, it becomes turbulent when things start flowing quickly enough. the abrasive property of living in a society full of change is ironically what makes it difficult to relate to other people's experience, as it is quite difficult to see the actions in another train's wagons when the relative movement is too great.
And then there’s people like Joe Rogan who take all the psychedelics but apparently don’t realize a fucking thing.
Have you tried DMT?
Twice
Fucking intense
I've been seriously considering trying it. How long did the after effects last?
After 45 mins felt basically normal a little run down like hadn't had my morning coffee yet.
The peak apparently lasted 20 mins. I experienced several cosmic epochs in that period
Any long term effects? Did you love it? Hate it?
Hard to tell about long term effects from DMT specifically because at the time I was taking every hallucinogen I could find. All together permanently eroded the "filmiest of screens".
Very meh as a drug. No desire to repeat a third time but glad I visited this most alien shore
no
