Hello EquaL Observer. I have also had that same sense of energy with mushrooms. After exploring a cow field on a nice cool night I stumbled upon some cubensis mushrooms. While harvesting them it dawned on me that they are actually alive and even closer to animals than plants. While everything has it own 'energy' it seems like entheogens are even more alive and luminous.

We are indeed the universe perceiving itself. One experience I had was that we are all part of each other, form a single entity, and that each of us individually are like different personalities of the whole human entity. Spirituality (God) definitely dwells inside and not in a book of commands and programs to follow.

I am looking forward to discussing these spiritual concepts and the science/chemistry that goes along with entheogens here. Thanks for the enlightening response EquaL Observer, take care.
