Myself and a fellow seeker of the truth decided to join this forum after reading a very interesting san pedro extraction technique found here.
I've never tried it before, but after listening to Aldous Huxley interviews pertaining to his experience, I knew it would be something I'd have to try twice (I'll try almost anything twice, is my motto).
I had my first pyschedelic experience with mushrooms when I was about 17. Nothing enlightening or spiritual about it, cause I don't think I needed that in my life at that time.
But 22 years later, I somehow stumbled on the knowledge that I can grow psilocybe cubensis. So I did. 12 BRF cakes of B+, and another 12 of Alacabenzi, and Cambodian.
I definetly learned from that experience to: 1) Don't sacrifice the sterile technique during innoculation, 2) Be patient, 3) Don't try to salvage contaminated jars.
The experience from those fruits ranged from mild/euphoric, to an almost insane and mind-bending experience where I had to wrestle with myself, mentally, to work out some issues in my life. Things I either avoid, or that I accept as reality in my life. Like loneliness, and being alone. I guess I accepted it at the time, and so my day-to-day thoughts usually were thoughts of pity for myself, about how lonely I am.
Well, the mushroom brought that out to me on two occasions. And it was close to unbearable, because it was the reality of how I saw myself, and it was saddening. But the good part of it came when I realized I'm not alone, and I do have friends, even though we're separated geographically. And things turned from maddening, to overwhelming joy and wonder. An extreme amazement at the reality of each passing moment, and to the realization of things manifesting themselves at every point in space around me.
And so, I believe in physics as a description of reality. Cause things that happen at the smallest of smalls, is unlike what we actually see happening on our scale. If physicists say there is an infinite number of parallel universes, or that their are tiny, curled up hidden dimensions at every point in space, then I'm all for it. I'm sure that when I smoked Salvia that I've seen parallel universes, places where I looked in on people, where they looked back at me, feelings that I left some other world behind, and entered a new world where I'd stay.
I'm also a .NET developer, which I happened to notice this forum is built on the .NET framework. I kinda do that alot, notice what platforms different web sites are running on based on the extension, or in some cases the format of the url.
