What used to be PTSD is now time travel???

Migrated topic.

I have not dosed enough to "break through". I'm convinced now it's a self-confidence issue, but whatever, having this in my life in small doses once a week or so has completely changed everything. Although I've never been to hyperspace, I see pretty plainly to how it is interacting and connecting with my daily reality, and I'm endlessly searching for further intricacy.

Regardless!
When I was a young teenager, I was in a horrible relationship for two years where this boy had completely convinced me that what he was doing to me -couldn't- be rape because he was my boyfriend, and he basically owned me.
Obviously this was a major struggle in my life. Being sexual again with other partners was always like walking on eggshells. Any motion done in an aggressive manner could easily send me over the edge. It had to be nothing but sweet and kindness, or I would forget who i was, who i was with, and what is happening to me, and start to bawl my eyes out and curl up into a little ball for HOURS until I latch onto something that brought with it, my memory.
I was never formally diagnosed, but you dont have to take a college course in psychology to identify that as PTSD. Often my partners (all obviously wonderful men to be willing to deal with such a broken person) told me I would take on other personalities in this state, none of which i had any memory of. I often feared I was had multi personality disorder due that traumatic experience.


Since this spice has entered my life, I had a trigger that usually opened up the world where I would then lose all memory to. Instead this trigger- MIND YOU I"M STONE COLD SOBER FOR ALL OF THIS, EVEN THOUGH I FELT LIKE I WAS ON A SERIOUS TRIP-- seemed to open non-physical doors around me in the X shape where my heart was the center of the X and the doors seemed to go on for eternity
but all of these doors were white, and bright, and full of light, and i could see with my third eye through all of these doors and they were all OPEN! and i could see through everyone of them, and at the center was this organ like thing, that I knew was the very core of my hurt.
and I looked at it, and it's very being in my reality helped me understand it-- and as I'm sure you all understand, my expression of this now is just a poor shade of words to how much it meant to me.

So I non-physically started to walk through the doors towards my hurt, A few of the doors let me walk through them like they were nothing, but then this one door seem to have plaid a trick on me, and i came out of this door in a dark ally way in a rainy town.
I walked out of the allyway and onto the street, to find that i was in a town just south of were i grew up. I looked around a bit, and then to my surprise, I saw myself, walking on the other side of the street. I entered a coffee shop right across from where i was standing. I watched myself through the window, trying to remember when in my life this was.
I was in the prior mentioned abusive relationship. I was in such a dark place.
I remember i used to walk around this town, listening to music, trying to mediate. I remembered that doing this was one of the only ways I could feel just "OK".
I breathed deep and i wanted to get into my old consciousness. This was not hard. I was seeing what I had seen, and was no longer in control of where I was looking. My consciousness was blasted with an old Breaking Benjamin CD, and my mind was so busy. So busy, it was not aware I had entered.
The only thing I could connect with my old self with was the hurt. And my oldself was rich in it. I wanted to help myself. So with all of my power and all of my might I used a new feeling I had learned very well: Inner peace. I used every inch of myself to convey a sense of inner peace. And as I did this, I felt like I was handed a lot of pain by my old self.
I then took this pain away, and I woke up with heavy on my heart, while I laid on my bed-- My lover VERY CONFUSED. I bawled, but in a releasing away. I was able to cry out that hurt i had brought with me.
It seems as though, I have been able to time travel and manipulate my personal emotional karma if you will.

I think we can time travel, and I think PTSD a serious example of this. We need to understand this phenomenon better.

So I have a lot of questions for you:
1. Have you ever been able to time travel?
2. If so, how?
3. Here's an abstract idea, if our heads are filled with spice naturally at death- and on spice any given amount of time can pass-- then you essentially could experience and infinite after-life. What if mediation is actually connecting with our "dead selves" and once we die we will be allowed to re-visit ourselves when we are in a meditative place to give ourselves advice.
This would be why people who don't mediate with themselves seem to have no inner-wiseness.

Tell me your thoughts please <3 I just love feed back :D! I'm also kind of putting myself out there in this post. This experience has really allowed me to open up about my rape experience. So, it's all kind of new and fresh. But in the best ways. I feel like, I've "cured" my PTSD
 
Wow, this is one of the most beautiful and at the same time most remarkable spice reports I've read here. This young woman boldly went into the recesses of her psyche and did the hard work, coming out a stronger and healthier person. And I doubt she's professionally trained in the methods of psychotherapy. It's so simply and honestly written, it's inspiring. I hope there are mental health professionals out there reading the Nexus for reports like this....what she described in a few beautiful sentences can be a goldmine for science.

There was a time in my life when I was about to enter grad school in that field (I stopped at the last second). Instead, I ended up learning about mental health via some years of serious meditation, and more recently, by re-visiting the world of psychonauting. The way they overlap is fascinating, and it's great to see mental health science the last few years slowly get back into studying the psychadelic realms and the pharmacology behind them.

So I would add, in answering Auneface's original question, that yes, I've felt I've time travelled. The most extreme case was via a modest dose of a very powerful cactus, where I felt and saw in my core and mind's eye, that I was simultaneously existing both today and in a time and space many thousands of years ago, in a San Pedro ceremony involving .... well, that's another story. If that's connected to an actual "past life", I cannot say, though it certainly felt that way, but I have also felt and seen what seem to be past lives via drug-free mediation. In that particular San Pedro incident just last year, I became aware of my deep connection to super-consciousness or hyperspace, and especially in its value to humanity. Reading Auneface's report this evening has encouraged me to revisit that incident and reflect on its lessons for me in 2011.

I have had several experiences with cannabis intoxication during meditation (the most recent of which a few minutes before reading your post) triggering vivid recollections of childhood trauma; I consider this emotional time travel. I relive the event, process it emotionally after years of repression, and let it go.

I do firmly believe that it is possible to directly and (semi)-intentionally alter our perception/reaction to these events, regardless of the "time" that has passed since then (1 day or 1 decade, it doesn't matter).

On the third point: I have a Buddhist perspective on life/death, so I don't believe a chemical is responsible for infinite afterlife, since consciousness (imo) does not require any physical component to exist; physical entities are a result of consciousness, not the cause.

However, on the second part of your idea, I see the meditative state as allowing one to connect with the repressed self, for sure; but if one can connect with that aspect of self, then it is not truly dead/gone. That just means it has been stashed away for quite some time; hibernating, maybe? Certainly we can re-create ourselves any minute we choose and leave our old emotional habits dead and gone...
 
I don't really consider it time travel, and it's never been as detailed, but I can watch past instances of my life very easily, especially really profound moments, or some really crappy ones, but sometimes very dumb moments that have no reason at all. The "earliest" place I can go to is 1994 when I was in school, some reason I remember vivid trips of going to the bathroom, or shelving books in the library. I'm not asleep, or dreaming (yet it sort of feels dream like), i just shut my eyes and think for a little and it comes back very clear, especially conversations. IDK the mind is a strange organ.
 
" I was in such a dark place.

I am, i think maybe jealous, at your will to keep yourself(and music) in your mind at your darkest point, i lost myself and those that i love based on he decisions that I have made. I myself am on the "rebound" of those decisions. I REALLY appreciate your beautiful and so elegantly put recollection of events, whether they be dark, or the showing of light. THANK YOU for this post...it has re-asserted my belief in "will"...

I, in no way, meant ANY offense. If it has come off as such i would be more than happy to remedy the situation. just PM me. Thank you so much again.

This is an amazing report thank you for opening up. And I know exactly what you are going through cause my girlfriend of 5 years went through traumatic experiences in her younger years and it broke my heart to know all that she went through her abuser would convince her that she had to do it cause she would get in trouble and if she said anything that she would get in trouble. And I had to deal with it cause of the trauma she went through and she is bi polar as well I thought that it might be from the ptsd and she would get violent and hysterical and there are times when we would make love and she will have flash backs but luckily we have been working through it and doe she will never be able to change what happen ill be sure to be here to help her get over it cause I believe that demons feed off negative energy fear sadness anger and the only thing that kills a demon is love and I believe that , that's exactly what I am doing with her she is destroying my demons and I am destroying hers :)
