An old friend of mine told me a story once, which had to do with a plant called "Salvia" it intrested me to a great extent. His story did, and it made the "What if" factor for me. Yes, it was in essence a 'trip' but see Saliva is used by Shamans for spirutal meditation, and if you really wana find out more about it wiki it or google it. One of the two, I just wanted to post this up and see what every one else thought of it.
Salvia
During my experience there was a culminating effect that seemed to stack each experience on the last rather than progressing in a more linear fashion. The only person around me while doing this was Bob who claimed that I remained still the entire time and just stared blankly.
This was an experience spawned from inexperience, that was caused because I did not fully understand the strength of salvia. I took two large hits where one small hit would have been sufficient. The first effects started after 30-45 seconds and came on fast. It was as if the boundaries of my body began to warp and bulge at odd angles and vibrations. Then the rate at which I process information was slowed so greatly that when looking at something It appeared i could see it and the information traveling to my eyes.
Then I suddenly felt very stable but the world around me was not. I felt like a small ball of light and i seemed to be falling through a hole in this enormous book. I noticed that the 'hole' was where my eyes were and the 'book' was in fact everything i had known to be real. Each page I went through could unfold and fold in an infinite number of directions and saw how my life was just a varied pattern in this great simulation.
Then I sensed a great presence who conveyed this to me, " Did you really think you were ready to see the universe? HA! You will soon find out what I mean." After some weird falling and spinning sensations I found myself in a new body. But this body had no boundaries, it had no beginning and no end. When I looked around I noticed many more like me so i thought i would try to find out where I am. The first thing that was conveyed to me was that I had always been there and would always be there. They said we were waiting but made no mention or indication of actually waiting 'for' something. Which was kind of confusing and I asked,"If I had always been there then what was the life I had previously been apart of?"
To which they simply replied, "It was a dream. So you could escape from here, if only for the small amount of time a human takes. The conversation wasn't exactly like this because our communicating didn't use mouths and used meanings this language doesn't contain. Then I was quickly pushed ?backwards?(not sure which direction it really was) because I was not supposed to be there or talking to others. When I came back I found my vision full of trails and fractals which seemed to make a gauntlet I had to maneuver through to escape this 'trip'.
When I made it through, I found I had actually jumped to my feet and tried to run across my room with a lap full of delicate items. Which startled Bob and prompted him to become angry with me.
I was only under its influence for 3 minutes or so but it was very powerful and has changed me a lot. I now understand why salvia is so feared even among the those who claim immunity to fear.
