Greetings,
I would like to share with you my first experience with Jurema (MHRB). In the past I have ventured into the spiritual realm using numerous substances. Mushrooms, LSD, Peyote, Yopo & sometimes I took nothing at all and I still managed to slip into the realm of spirits (that is another story in itself). I was going through a major change in my life and I needed a ceremony to help guide me.
I waited until the moon was full and by coincidence (or maybe not?) I had the house to myself. I measured out 14g of MHRB and 3g of Syrian Rue. The powered MHRB was combined with approx 600ml of bottled water. I began heating up the mixture, ritually stirring it and praying for protection. There was no lemon juice on hand so I squeezed and orange for its juice. Then I stated my purpose for the ceremony, to venture into the Underworld. As the mixture started to boil, I turned down the temperature so that vapor would still be seen coming off of it. Then from out of nowhere flying ants started to land near the stove. The home has an ant problem every year but they were landing near the stove and no where else. I took this as a sign and decided to add them to the brew. After an hour of reducing, I filtered the MHRB & ants with a bandanna. Then I repeated the process 2 more times. Adding fresh water, orange juice & more flying ants.
Now it was time for the reducing phase. I combined all three containers of liquid back into the stainless steel pot. While it was slow boiling, I decided to now grind up the Rue. I reduced the MHRB mixture to fit exactly into one shotglass (coincidence?). Again said a prayer for protection as I ventured into the Underworld. I pricked my finger with a knife. A drop of blood came out and I added it to the shotglass full of Jurema. First the Rue, then 45min later the shotglass.
I went outside to sit in the yard on a tarp and sleeping bag I set up earlier. There I listened to some didgeridoo music on my phone. After about 90min I could feel the effects coming on very strong. Jurema was showing me the ill deeds I did in my life. This was probably the only time I felt somewhat frightened. I peered into my side of wickedness and embraced it. Then massive amount of closed eyes visuals appeared. In the form of fractals, checkerboard patterns, geometric shapes. They flashed by so quickly and numerously I couldnt remember them all. I just relaxed and opened my mind to them. Then the patterns paused on one shaped. It looked just like the symbol for radioactivity. This made me think of the lucid dream that I had about dying in a nuclear explosion. It was starting to drizzle and I was feeling very cold. I went inside to lay down and everything had a strange fractal pattern to it. Same as when I first did yopo.
As I lay in my bed the patterns came and went. At one point I could control them. Stopping their motion. Then making them go backwards. Then releasing them to let them go forwards again. I smiled like a child playing with a new toy. My brother came home and checked on me (he knew about the journey). I told him that I am skipping off the plane of the spirits. Like a rock on a lake. I thought maybe I didn't take enough. Right after I said that *BAM* the visuals came to me so hard and fast that I didn't even need to close my eyes. It was like I saw the patterns with "reality" looking all blurry in the background. At this point I had to vomit so I managed to crawl to the bathroom. I projectile vomited with an intensity that made my brother check on me again. After a few minutes of this I managed to crawl back into bed. I smiled because I felt that the spirit of Jurema must of been insulted because of what was said. So in my head I said "Bring It!"
I was transported into a strange world. I could see my astral body from a third person view (like on the video game Hitman). The would seemed somewhat subdued. Grey smooth walls. Like I was in a castle of some sort. Then there were beings that kept trying to come up to me to communicate. Sometimes the scene would disappear completely and I would only see their face. My mind would shove them off back into their world. But then others would come. And I would do the same. Then it would switch back to the third person view and my astral body was doing martial arts moves on all these different beings. I was defeating them so easily that I laughed to myself. Then I saw him....
The being with the Golden Eyes. He was sooo detailed, vivid, bright as the sun, and his presence was emanating such indescribable power. His face was all I could see (i wasn't in the third person view). I tried to push him back like the others but his power was immense! He would not budge in the slightest. I tried other psychic attacks and I could feel him diffuse them with no effort. It was obvious that this being could destroy me faster than a blink of an eye if it wanted to. So I stopped and opened up my mind. It did not talk but I could feel what it wanted. It wanted me to stop attacking and it wanted to teach me the power of the Golden Eyes. It peered at me with its glowing eyes and they became so intense. I felt its power flowing through me. I tried to turn away but it followed. Wherever I turned my gaze, it was there. Until finally I screamed in my mind "Enough! It's too much!"
Then I was back in my bedroom. Everything still had the fractal pattern around it. I did not see anymore beings. The afterglow lasted for another hour or so. Then I was back on Earth.
The following days I tried to process the information. I did a search for Golden Eyes but mostly came up with info about James Bond. After about an hour of going through images on Google I saw an image that almost made my heart stop. "Cosmic Christ" by Alex Grey. I have never seen this image before or even heard of Alex Grey (I am a newbie at this). Coincidence?? Then I learned more about Alex Grey and his artwork, experimentation with psychedelics, etc. From my conclusion, this being I saw must of been REAL. What was it? I don't know. Why did I see it? I don't know. Has anyone else seen it besides Alex Grey and me? I don't know. That is one of the reasons why I came on this site. To learn if others have seen this being during their travels. Attached is a picture of "Cosmic Christ".
Any feedback is welcomed. Negative, Positive or what have you. I need to find answers.
Thanks for reading this far.
Peace
