Yes, it was intentionally flammatory (trolling ha!). I wanted to see if there were people that really had insightful experiences on it. So far nobody has shared anything meaningful (although a couple people said they have insights on it). What are the insights?
The insights for me vary and i only remember some of them. The most prolific ones inolve travelling to a place that is timeless and similar to the descriptions of Bado (the space in between lives). If you are familiar with using lsd for insights then perhaps you have read about this. When you step out of your life situation you can gain valuable insights to what the real you - the you that isnt physical and ego bound is actually trying to do here in this life. You see things for what they are, without the filters and narrow perception which is normal human consciousness. It is different to the ego death and infiniteness of lsd. Somehow, dont ask me how, but some of these experiences have been in a place even more infinate than infinate. I have seen my tent open to an infinitely high ceiling. Portraits of people who have had influence in various parts of my life floated down from it towards me. Some of these people I would not have even remembered or realised they had impacted enough to produce such an experience. In that same session i was back in this between lives state and saw a person who had done considerable wrong by me sort of working through the negative karma he had created by a sort of action or task. He would not be able to move forward from this state until this task was complete and it made me realise that i could now be open to acceptance and forgiveness as he is sorry whether he realied it yet or not. Then a girl involved in the situation was assisting me and my boyfriend so that we could have a safe travel back to earth. This opened my views towards her also. I also saw that my boyfriend and I were together in this place where only our souls and not our egos exist, making me realise how important and long standing our connection probably is. Sounds weird, i know. But you can see the life changing possibilities I'm sure.
The strongest bulb i ever had was also in a tent after a few days of sleep deprivation. I suddenly found myself in a tunnel. There was only this tunnel, as everything in the physical universe was within it and the blackness around it was pure nothing. The tunnel was made of a mosiac arrangement of psychedelic tiles of various colours. I was situated at the bottom middle. I was not of my body, but more kind of floating. Then i was moved directly to the right. The movement was strangely smooth like some sort of mechanical perpetual motion type movement. I cant explain it really but it was like it wasnt physical. I was locked into place on the right side of the tunnel. Then, forward motion began as i moved into the tunnel. I controlled none of this. The movement accelerated at a continuously increasing pace and the colours rushing past faster. I was moving so fast it was almost scary! I have never experienced or imagined such fast movement. The tunnel eventually became a blur of coloured light from the speed and after this with a huge blast there was white light and this white light emersed everything. That is all i remember of that stage- the blast and then i was at some place else. It was like the most pristine and beautiful marble wall. Pearly. I have never even imaged purity to that extent could exist. It was so shiny. I was moving up along this wall which had strange characters on it. The intense purity was so overwhelming that it was almost confronting. I felt impure in comparison and was slightly afraid for a split second. There were things i had wanted to do and hadnt done. Suddenly, I was back in my tent. I think my awkward emotion was because I was in a place that I was not meant to be in yet. I still have things to complete here on earth - and this experience made me realise that i must actively seek these tasks. I know this experience sounds corny. I'm not a christian or anything and wasnt exactly looking for anything like this either. It was probably the most intense and unexpected thing to happen to me (excepting dmt, of course but it was close). I can't explain it!
My normal experiences involve the room suddenly being alive - with every space filled by moving entities. They are people, animals, spirits, all kinds of things.Sometimes they are projected dissociated fragments of my personality and the things that have created my personality which is a good learning experience, if i understand the abstract method of communication. Sometimes they talk to me, sometimes i understand but often it is just below my hearing threshold. I often am presented with abstract objects covered in symbols i don't recognise. Sometimes i am given instructions - like to stretch a part of my body and doing so is very beneficial and increases the strength quite a lot. Other times i complete tasks or tests that somehow seem to further my development and understanding of the ineffable.
That's enough babbling. If anyone wants to hear more, ask,
My experience with psychedelics recently has taught me its such a blessing to be given the chance to experience these states. It just seems like a shame to me to ruin that chance with a disassociative like nitrous or ketamine.
I think the dissociatives are also a true blessing and simply open another world. Like with the psychedelics you need to know how to access this and the drug has to agree with your personality. Sleep deprivation and presence of other drugs are needed for the full on efffects. I know a handful of people with experiences similar to mine, with maybe a couple of stories like mine (they may be rare, but they are out there!) and a lot of people who feel they tend to almost reach insight but dont quite get there.
As someone else said in this thread. If you believe they are worthless then they will be worthless to you. Don't limit yourself!
