so i tried mushrooms for the first time a few days ago. i don't think that my set and setting could have been more perfect. i was having a great day and i ate the mushrooms with a few of my good friends at a perfect time. i have a pretty fair amount of experience with lsd, but i have just never done mushrooms. well, now i finally have. we put a quarter of some pretty potent mushrooms into some tea that we made, and the split the tea up and drank it. it actually tasted pretty good. after a few minutes we went outside and layed down and looked up at the sky. this is where we remained for the bulk of our trip. this was probably one of the most relaxing trips i have ever had. it felt like pure cosmic energy flowing through my body. i couldn't stop smiling, i giggled at everything, and i felt like a 5 year old again. this wasn't exactly the most high dose trip, but it gave me a good enough idea to be able to tell what mushrooms are like in comparison to lsd. it feels like mushrooms are alot less 'forced' in the actual trip. i made the transition from being sober to tripping smoothly and easily. i can't really even begin to explain the feelings i had during the trip, or what my trip was. so i am just going to give a comparison to lsd the best i can. in my last lsd trip i completely transcended everything in this life and unified with god and then came back down again. this trip was almost the same deal. the divine force seems to be much more acessible via mushrooms. all of these ancient feelings are being awoken within me. it is like remembering things that i have known all along about the fundamental natures of reality. i am still not quite sure WHY, but i am starting to get a greater idea of WHAT. i have a great sense of de ja vu that comes with these feelings and memories. some of them are like remembering something that happened to you when you were a child, except it is something far more ancient than that. towards the end of the trip things strayed a little bit from this feeling of cosmic oneness that i was feeling. i still felt connected, but things began to feel very different. like i had achieved a level of consciousness greater than that of everyday life. i connected with a side of myself that i had not connected with in a very long time. then when we went inside things were just extremely confusing. mushrooms can be very very strange sometimes, and very very confusing. then after the trip we brewed up some more tea to drink, but for some reason i just couldn't finish mine. i drank about half, but the mushrooms were just telling me to not drink it. i gained a strange feeling in my head that accompinied my feeble attempts to try to down the tea. at first i felt like there was really no meaning to the trip, or that the meaning was the divine connection i experienced. but after some reflection i now see what this trip means to my life. along with some of the ancient memories about reality, there was also awoken some memories from my childhood, and some feelings that i had then. this had made me realise the psychological and spiritual maturity that i have achieved now, and also shown my what it has taken to get there. my childhood was pretty hectic, and i almost feel woeful for my past now. previous to this trip i had always felt like i was over the things that had happened WAY back then, but there is obviously still a great deal of healing to do. i look forward to taking mushrooms again and taking this problem head on. i would say that mushrooms are a great tool for awakening and healing. next time i will take atleast an eight, and eat it. but meanwhile i have some festivals to go to, in which i will probably be eating a ton of lsd!
Hey man, I felt the same way about LSD compared to Shrooms as you did until I did a heavy dose on accident sometime recent. It sent me and a friend way over the edge, the divine spirit as I think you called it was the only thing that saved us. It was a friends first time and he was lost in a psychedelic mess and all I could remember to do is become Mindfull with the cosmic energy and we both approached the GodHead and had a wonderful time. The point of the story is that shrooms can seriously be super heavy man. We ate 3 indoor hydroponics each and in all honesty it was like taking 6 hits of acid(roughly 700ug). Sometimes, especially when your way out in that place you go to when you eat a heavy dose, well, sometimes the only door is the spiritual one. Sometimes your so far off that all the other doors are just the same door that just keeps changing so it looks different but just leads back to the same place. It's the spiritual door of mindfullness that you stumbled upon, it's the same door that saved my friend and I and it is the same thing that is always present in everyone and everything throughout all time. Stay on the spiritual quest, it'll lead you right in front of your eyes... don't believe me.... keep lookin.
I always wanted to try Shrooms but i never got around to buying them if i got 30 bucks i could buy an eighth (Atleast thats the current price where i live)
wow! im surprised you had so many acid trips and this is your first shroom trip. i love the ancient feeling you were talking about, you really don't get that with lsd. mushrooms seem to be very mystical and wise, it feels we are a part of a very old story, and we are about to partake in a very unbelievable future, and the mushroom lets us know that. i also get what you mean with the feeling of child hood, i always feel as i am toddler learning how to walk and i'll remember games i used to play in my head in my first years of life. it is a wonderful feeling because it reminds your of life when your were free, free of responsibility, free of worry, free of beliefs, free of immorality, free to live. i think the mushrooms teach a great deal. im glad you first trip was so divine! hear hear to many more!
