And maybe it can, maybe it can't, maybe that's better, maybe the door needs a tool to open it. I can't say, it just seems to me like it's a note that needed sounded. Take it as you will.
Fully agree. If I had to give psilocybin a rating it would be 1 out 10. It was super lame, annoying and made me sick.
It started with "oh this is familiar, I have been drugged with this shit before". Then having to lie down and hold on to something because weird vision for 2 seconds until I get control of it, then bad memories. Repeat for 3 hours every 5min.
That was with half the chocolate and it left me breathing fire and spitting snakes. Then I said fuck those assholes and ate the rest of it. Covered my eyes put on healing music and started astral projecting.
I didn't summon satan...What happened was I got bathed in pink healing light, was at some kind of river. The goddess appeared embodying pain. They combined in a chimera representing vengeance that I can only call Baphomet because that's what it looked like. It became the dragon and that's when I found myself standing in a palace watching it sway in front of me.
Starting with the music, the musics purpose it to block out other sounds. When you are in a deep trance any sudden noise or interruption feels like a 1000 knives stabbing you, it's terrible so I prefer seclusion.
Covering the eyes, this does two things. Much like the sound it prevents outside interference. The other thing is that I do not know when my eyes are closed or open. The covering on my eyes give me something I can touch and can confirm that indeed my eyes are closed.
Something I learned through this is that there is two kinds of people (for this purpose). Those that has experienced all the terrible cruel things that the world and mostly people has to offer, they live in the abyss. They have no safety net, the world, this reality is hostile and there is no going back. The second group of people has no concept of it and can not relate and instead of showing compassion and empathy they shun the other and push them out of society.
