Hi everyone, So I had a few questions about salvia and the terminology used on this forum, but I would also like to share my experiences, as they are often fun to read/discuss. Questions: 1) What do you guys mean by ego death? 2) What is meant by "breaking through?" 3) The only times I've been able to go on really intense trips is when I smoked weed before...does anyone else find this or have an explanation? Anyway, I thought I'd share two of my more vivid experiences on salv. Quantity - 1/6 g, 30x standard extract I was in my car baked with a couple of my friends and this was my first time trying it. I took a really big hit (not knowing what to expect), and then I started to see penguins dancing up my arms. Then I looked up and the clouds had clown faces on them. This was also my first time with hallucinogens, so I was just trying to really have fun with my experience. Apparently I then lost control of my body and my head fell on the horn (my friends quickly picked me up), but I thought I fell through the world...similar to that as if your vision went to extreme fish-eye vision and you just keep going down a never ending chasm. My friends kind of shook me out of it after that b/c I was apparently drooling and laughing hysterically, and I became more sober in sequential waves after that. Quantity - 1/6 g, 30x standard extract I did it the next day as well with the same group of friends, but in the middle of a baseball field at night. I took a massive hit, and the last thing I remembered was everything in my body letting go as I stared at a lampost. I don't know how I got there, but I travelled across all of space to a physical classroom where all the stars and planets (and me) were students, and the universe was the teacher. There, I felt I learned everything that would and has ever happened in all of what we perceive as time, annnd then I was once again shaken out of it asking my friends how I was doing. Unfortunately, I forgot what the universe taught me, but I came out of it with a very overwhelming feeling of calmness, knowing that everything that ever was and is would be alright in the end. It should be noted I was pretty ripped before this trip as well. I've tried salv (40x, 30x) on several other occasions, but I can never get the crazy visuals going again. I didn't know until very recently that you needed a jet lighter, but would one make that much of a difference in one's trip? Also, would the blazing beforehand help to get rid of any anxiety/overexcitment about the trip? Thanks for your advice, my first post haha! ~BF
2)Trip 2 would no doubt be a breakthrough, its when all of consenual reality is completely obliterated and you often travel to some other perceived place and/or dimension. 1)Ego death is when there is no perception as 'I' and you simply become a filter of awareness and energy for the universe and cosmos. 3) no I find I can breakthrough on salvia all by itself quite easily, I've done it with weed a few times I could see how it may make it easier to breakthrough.
Haha thanks! Yeah the 2nd trip was pretty crazy, I think I grew quite a bit in terms of personality from that trip too (more calm and able to accept things)...unfortunately I haven't been able to have another breakthrough since then, but I think from reading some of the posts on this forum that its just an equipment issue and not a tolerance one.
Yah if anything salvia almost has reverse tolerance. I breakthrough on salvia much easier than when I started.
Ego death is when there is no perception as 'I' and you simply become a filter of awareness and energy for the universe and cosmos. ///////////////////////////////////////////// Your nothing but a pack of cards! -- says Alice in Wonderland
