Just joined recently and I feel perhaps I found this site not by accident but maybe more like design.
I spent most of my life while having spare time searching for answers, after my initial introduction at 15.
I have shared this with very few people as I grew up in a very conservative place, but only after a few years mentioned it to close friends.
I joined this site on the 24th this month and only after reading through other peoples truths in relation to how they have changed and how they moved on with it. I thought maybe I should tell in writing what happened when it happened and where I went, and hope that some of you can give example of what you think in relation to your own jouneys.
I’m 43 now and at 15 I had my first experience with the other, I’m Irish and was with friends experimenting with shrooms in close proximity to my home.
This is the first time I have tried to write or share in writing what happened that day, but it has stayed with me, shaped me and made me a bit different from others my age after I guess, weird, quite or eccentric, well that’s what my friends called me or understood me to be back then after that day and today, but I know I’m happy and pure in my mind.
Back then my brain dictionary had no words to describe what I felt and witnessed, I can only refer to it today as an instant transportation,
I lay back on grass in field nice surroundings it was sunny March.
I never as people often talk about seen colours or swirls. For me it was like an unfolding my eyes where open for a time and everything around me became movement with noise combined but perfectly synchronised uniformed, my friends the trees the grass everything was unfolding moving in a mechanical way. I was inside myself and aware of everything at once, I was been pulled into a place I can only describe as liquid mercury but luminescent not heavy like liquid mercury but silver light bright and comfortable. As soon I was in this place I was aware I was moving very fast in one direction forward, passing me were millions of people , well maybe thousands but all spoke to me at once and told me hello, I felt as if I had know them a long time I felt lots of smiles and warm feelings. No one spoke to me directly they all talked at once but somehow I could hear them all individuality at once, they were rushing past me all just made of the same liquid like substance but silhouetted in light brighter but not much different from silver.
I was moving faster and faster I can only say it was the speed where it was getting more difficult to see or say hello back to the thousands that were talking, I was suddenly aware of everything welcomed and at home , I recall been at home or knowing this place.
I felt a humming noise constant and growing it was nothing I had ever heard before. I got freighted and asked them to help pleaded with them, instantly I was on my feet and walking aware of what had happened passing my friends I walked home. I thought at the time that I was dieing that I would have died that they wanted me to die or take me back, ? back to what I asked myself for years.
I know today ever then before that this place was real , the people were real in the way they talked i knew them from the past where ever that it or was. it was reality and them some..
I spend only the occasional time reflected on that day.
I feel thought that it changed me forever. As a few years later I found myself in China , India and then over the years south America. I joined the Hare Krishna’s and that was mainly because I had cousins involved and I was always asking questions, I travelled with them and studied all religions trying to look for something that would be real or could give answers. I ended up studying archaeology and anthropology; and worked in this field most of my life. today I would say I’m Krishna conscious but not a hare Krishna.. I enjoyed those years and feel it was a worth while road to travel as I was looking for answers. I studied all examples of sacraments used by our ancestors and recent ones also.
I never took shrooms after that day but did some different more complex plants in India and China, not many just two more journeys but nothing like the first.
I hope some day to be in a position to go back to that place and not be frightened and see were it takes me, I need to do this.
Anyway hope my story about first was not to boring.
