Sure, but simply taking huge dosages isn't really all there is if you want to break through the realms of your ego and learn something from it, in my opinion. (Also, what I wrote above was meant half-jokingly.) This thread about using psychedelics wisely I wholeheartedly agree with, in this case especially with the notion about the experienced user.

What I'm trying to say is: My goal is to stay aware during the experience as much as possible in order to guide myself to where I want to go. Of course this is something different than controlling the experience, which is pretty much impossible anyway, and you have to be able to stay aware and let go at the same time to get the most from it.

8 grams (or how much it was) completely overwhelmed me and swept me away. By taking a little less I hope to be able to learn more from it during the experience and not just afterwards, while still challenging myself.

These "voices" are simply my thoughts, the inner dialogue that everyone has unless they are long-term practitioners of meditation. Most people (including me of course, even though I have been meditating a bit) have only a very limited ability, if at all, to control their thoughts, they more or less happen to them. During the trip I had a chance to have a look at a certain type of thought under the psilocin-microscope - and these were the thoughts that have something to do with what I should or should not do and the emotions that go along with them. Psychologically speaking are these part of what I believe would be called my inner parent who tells me what to do and the inner child that reacts to it. And yes, these thoughts do make me feel less-than-worthy to some extent which I could very clearly see by the emotions they invoked during the trip (emotions a child has when constantly being put under pressure and told that it is a bad child if it doesn't do this and that and so on; the trip was pretty regressive in that regard).

That's a great question, because when we're not aware of what we're thinking the thoughts more or less just happen to us. The question why do you do that to yourself puts you back in the active role, so that you can change the way you're thinking and feeling as long as you stay aware of it.

Sounds like a powerful journey. Tell the creator I said hi the next time you meet him/her/it
