questions about ego death through mushrooms

I experienced ego death on salvia before but never on shrooms. I know that there's alot to take in consideration but I was wondering, what would be the minimal dose to experience ego death on shrooms? Is there anything I can eat/do to enhance my trip, or things I should avoid? Basically, what would be the best set up to experience ego death? Also, would clonazepam be a good "safety net" if I feel like I want out at some point? Anything you guys can recommend?

 

I've read of people reaching it at 3gs. It's all about the the trip, meditation is probably a good way to find it. But from everything I've read, I'd suggest a 5g gold cap shroom trip.

Just search through some ego death trip reports on shroomery, they're amazing!

 

You don't want to go into the trip with any "safety net," you just need to be confident in yourself to handle the trip. Comfort is everything. I think 5g would get you to the intensity you are looking for, it's not the mushrooms that deliver an ego death, it's up to you.

 

I agree with the previous posts. I'd just like to add that if you don't know the potency of the shrooms you have, 5g could potentially be a much stronger trip than you would expect.

I'm inclined to think that ego loss has much more to do with set/setting than dose, although with a high dose I think the potential for it to happen increases. I would recommend 3.5g and if that doesn't do it try 5 of the same mushrooms.

 

Having a "safety net" pretty much defeats the purpose of trying to achieve ego death, because if you have the slightest knowledge of shrooms you will know they are non toxic, so the clonzepam is pretty much used to supress unwanted thoughts and losing the grasp on ego.

I have not experienced ego death with mushrooms in as thorough a manner as Salvia Divinorum but 3.5-5 grams like others have mentioned in silent darkness can take you on a deep inner journey where dissolution of self is very much possible.

 

Thanks guys! I think I might have to take it a bit slower, lol, I haven't done mushrooms in 7 or 8 years and I never had more than 1g and never with the right set up to "experience" the trip. I think that for now, I wont try to reach ego death, I'll just try them and check out their potency first and gauge it from there. Baby steps lol

 

Go between 2.5-3.5g anyway, gauge it from there

 

To enhance your trip I recommend:

1) fasting for 6 hours before ingesting the mushrooms (a empty stomach will ensure fast and complete uptake of the magic)
2) grind the mushrooms up very fine in a coffee grinder ( this will speed the absorption of the magic)
3) Drink down the mushroom powder with a warm cup of tea ( this will relax you and help prevent nausa)
4) Ensure you are in a darkened room with maybe some blinking xmas lights ( i have a projector in my trip room the projects swirling colors onto the ceiling)
5) ensure the room is isolated from outside noises as these can distract and make you paranoid ( i remember one time hearing police sirens passing by and could swear the police were coming to get me and completely freaked me out....... another time my roommates were having a fight in the other room and it ruined my trip)
6) didgeridoo music is magical on mushrooms but so are drums or even just the sound of vibrations from a fan ( i once had a 6 hour orgasmic sensation by letting the vibrations of a nearby fan ripple through my body that ended up concentrating in my groin)
7) have some place comfy to lay and don't get up from the spot no matter what happens (this is rule one for me..... never ever get up from my spot on a heavy dose of mushrooms because you can get lost in your apartment... i once got up to get into my shower and ended up getting lost in my shower for a hour... flooded my bathroom and woke up on my kitchen floor naked and freezing) ( i have a couple fat boy chairs that work great)


as for dose anything between 3.5 - 5 grams of good mushrooms can get you there.

 

This what I wrote about my first ego death on 6 grams of PESH mushrooms



My friend and I split 12 grams of P. Cubensis which in hindsight was a really bad idea but it was a accident. I have never done more then 3.5 to 4 grams in the past. The problem lies in the fact I had eaten a big meal only a few hours before so the original 1/8 didnt have much affect on me for the first two hours and my friend who didnt eat was already tripping so I took another 2.5 grams to catch up and then everything hit me at once. We then put on The Wall again and it was great. We were laughing and seemed to have linked up on a psychic level because we were seeing the same thing but then things went awry. The next thing I know everything looked like hell did in the movie constatine... fire and windy except instead of fire everything had colorful essence coming off of it and I felt like I kept getting swept away by some dark force. I came to clinging face down on a persian rug looking down through the patterns and seeing myself clinging to the other side except I looked haggard and gray in color. Once I felt safe enough to crawl back to the couch I joined my friend in continuing to watch The Wall. I dont know how many times we watched it or even if the movie was still playing but it felt as if we were in a time warp doomed to repeat the same moment over and over again. I felt a wave of time and space sweep through the room and it was as if we were back watching the same scene of the movie again and again. The movie began to spill out of the TV and then the TV ceased to exist and we were watching a portal into another world. Every time the wave of space and time swept through I lost myself and was terrified of being swept away and getting lost again. I clung to a pillow just to try to keep a hold on something tangable that I knew was real because I no longer knew what was real and what wasnt. At one point of the evening I was begging my friend for them not to let them take me again and he was busy arguing with god or some greater entity about life. It was at this point that we were getting scared. I thought we had gone to far to get back to our own time and dimension and that we were going to be trapped where we were forever. I was then instantly in a desert surrounded by flowers and a purple sky... it was so beautiful. Around 4 am my friend went into his room and tried to get some sleep and I laid on the couch trying to remember who I was... what my name was... I had forgotten even what gender I was born or even if I had been born yet. Slowly over the next two hours things began to slow down and I began to get to grips with everything that had happened and who I was but I was unable to get to sleep until 2 pm this afternoon and didnt wake up until 9 pm. My friend and I talked over the night and we both had the same visions and felt the same great power. I am afraid after last night nothing will ever be the same again.... I have completely lost my ego and sense of self.

 

1. You know how to rock those shrooms

2. Wow..

 

An 8th or higher would most likely do the trick. You can experience it on as little as 1 or 2 grams, but only when you get to know how it works.

If you want your ego completely shattered might want to try the 5 grams, but if not an 8th can defiantly bring results.

Don't worry about a safety net, just got to have a little courage.

Some things that defiantly help are:
Eating a healthly light diet before hand
Relax and meditate
Don't have too many expectations
Listen to healing music

This really helped me. For a week I listened to nothing but this peter tosh cd that had all these spiritually uplifting songs. I sat and just listened to that and sat in the sun, and was just a simple man for a week. No hoha, just relaxin. Then at the end of the week I ate 5 grams and sat in a closet by myself. Lets just say, I was one with the father for 12 hours

 

Holy shit Grainpsilo! That must of been intense! I did 1.5g to test the potency first. unfortunately, I had eaten quite alot that night and they did next to nothing. I waited at least 2 hours and then decided to smoke weed to see if that would help. the only difference I saw, was that I was really focussed on the TV. Ill give them another shot and follow your method and Ill let you know.

thanks guys!

 

Eat 5 grams, sit down, put some sunglasses on and listen to "the end" by the doors on repeat for 6 hours. After 6 hours take off the sun glasses and stare.... you will understand.

 

I wish that everyone could experience ego death at least once. Humankind would be different. Maybe we would actually be able to get along!

Ahhh, if only.
