Anamnesia
Rising Star
Hi everyone.
So, the other day I took a small amount of mushrooms and proceeded to begin reading a book called Grammatical Man: Information, Entropy, Language, and Life. Of course, as always happens for me with psilocybin, anything and everything becomes enormously interesting. Nevertheless this book is incredibly interesting besides.
Anyway, what I noticed as I was reading, studying, and thinking about the information I was absorbing was that my memory capacity became incredible. My mind could just effortlessly "grab" and "hold" the information in memory. I could read a paragraph or two or even an entire page, and basically recall with ease the information I had just read, and then proceed to analyze it and rearrange it in my mind, adding to it my own ideas and connections without losing the information I was thinking about. I couldn't believe it as it was happening, but it was happening.
Now, I must say of course also it was very difficult to maintain focus and as my mind was being stimulated fractally to think in all directions surrounding the subject matter of what I was reading - associative thinking we might say. However, I was committed to fully understanding the information I was reading and I did not want to just read and forget. I wanted to remember! And remember I could and still can I would say 80 percent of the information I read.
I'm interested to find out how common this experience of profound improvements in working memory through dosing small amounts of psilocybin is!
Basically, if you are mentally disciplined enough to hold concentration on whatever it is you're focusing on simultaneous with a small dose of psilocybin powering the brain, then through these occasional windows of super-learning capacity you can absorb an incredible amount of information, and not only that but also be able to put your own spin on it.
As an aside...
I'm ecstatic about this despite having experienced low dose and high dose sessions before numerous times. Perhaps the reason I never noticed this before was because every time I was beshroomed I was also stoned. I feel very fortunate to have liberated myself from cannabis although she and I have had a miracle relationship in the past. Cannabis, through its anti-memory effects, must have canceled out any improvements in working memory bestowed upon me by psilocybin. Now if I take a low dose of psilocybin all by itself and sit down with a book with a solid intention to focus on and understand this book it turns out this is a very powerful method to supercharge your learning abilities by amplifying enormously your working memory, or at least, the fluidity, the ease at which the information sticks.
Maybe I'm describing hippocampal neurogenesis in action?
What do you think? Have you had a similar experience?
Peace!
