Its been almost 4 or 5 months now, and now I think I'm really able to look back and see what all this has meant.

I had been kind of down for a time before, as if I were running out of options for myself, even though I'm really supposed to be at the prime of opportunity, being in college. Anyway, I'd just gotten a fresh batch of 5x salvia extract, and I had some lsd lying around, so why not go at it? So I dropped it.

After about two hour and a half to three hours of the usual coming-up and peak phases, I packed my pipe, and took a deep hit. About 20 seconds after, as I closed my eyes, I saw myself flying, zooming next to a wall in some ancient mayan courtyard, with all sorts of brightly-colored glyphics, and then I took a second hit and held it in until I felt myself shift '90 degrees' out of our current 3-dimensional world, and into another reality, another copy of myself, and I decided I should probably get in bed. I didnt want to be wandering around like this.

Thus followed 3 or 4 hours of the most intense entheogenic experience I have ever had. I would constantly [physically] roll around, which would then launch me into a [extradimensional] shift into a new version of myself. Always in the same room, but constantly shifting realities. All the time, there was the though that I would never make it back again. It was the closest I've been to feeling the direct presence and possibility of death, not in the negative, denying aspect, but in terms of release from this stuckified construct which we all take as reality.

But through tremendous effort, I was finally able to catch my last reality in, and I came back to 'normality', with the introspective part of the acid trip ahead of me to try to figure it out. And what I've come up with is that at every moment, every decision we make, every action that occurs sets up another parallel universe of possibility, that our reality is not static, that there is an infinite number of lives one can lead, and that all too often we get bogged down in the details and dont take time to appreciate the wonder of it all. That was certainly true in my case.

Anyway, I defintitely think this is not something to be taken lightly - its like nothing I've ever done before, but it is well worth the trouble.
