"Deal With It" ~ the mushroom's bathroom prank

[ControlledChaos]

Honestly, at first I was upset at the feedback to this post because it was negative and my last much more positive trip report post got 0 comments. But actually, I think that it made integration of that night much more interesting, and informed the stronger trip that I had the following week. The following was one of those trips that went on for a long time and is hard to even put into words, but I can say I have more clarity today than I did the day I made this post.

I didn't find anything offensive; the drawing with the soap was funny.

Everyone put themselves in the family member’s shoes, but no one considered that living with someone who’s irritable and takes everything seriously 24/7 over every little thing can be exhausting and frustrating, and that at some point, that frustration has to come out, in the OP case, it did so in a creative way by letting his trickster energy express itself, but without taking it too far.

What's funny is that I remember a Joe Rogan podcast where he talking about being made fun of by jester entities when taking DMT because he was taking himself and things too seriously. I feel like that same dynamic manifested through you with that particular family member, as laughing to absurd thing is very liberating.

I think there are as many interpretations of that story as there are people around. This thread is a good example of how our community functions and helps people to question themselves. In the end, we can only change ourselves and our own patterns of behavior. It's not like something was done horribly wrong, but there was an apparent need to integrate it properly. I feel all perspectives are sound. OP could see it from different angles, and that's what matters.
