DOSE:
1.75 g oral Mushrooms (tea)
BODY WEIGHT: 134 lb
Mindset: Expectant. It was my first experience with mushrooms for years. The intent for spiritual connection and insight.

Setting: Wilderness camping trip with a friend in May, northeast US. Cool evening and night.

Preparations: Performed evening Resh and Star Ruby (spiritual practices).

Summary:

Drank tea. Onset marked by tremulousness, feeling of cold, stomach upset. (My friend is much larger, and the same dose did not seem to cause him any side effects.)

I found if I unfocused my eyes, I had vision reminiscent of a cubist painting, made up of geometric blocks. When I refocused my eyes, vision went back to normal. Music very evocative of the time and atmosphere of its recording. Nature sounds in silence awe-inspiring. I occasionally found my attention fixed in a moment of time, quite pleasant. Closed eye visuals like colorful wallpaper.

A great feeling of reverence. Felt like a majestic, composed figure from Egyptian myth as I lay on the ground in an attitude of resurrection (arms crossed in an “x”). A feeling of closeness to my friend. Midnight Resh felt perfect. At the peak, felt a conviction of identity with God. Glorious experience all round! Closed with Star Ruby ritual.

Next day or 2 felt like a wrung sponge, as far as energy goes (part of which may have been influenced by the nonstop rain the day after). Think half the amount would be good for me.

[Reported Dose: 'hot infusion in French press from 1/16 oz finely ground"]
