I was once a everyday member of Bluelight, for about a decade. Life got in the way, and I found it best to take my leave from moderating and focusing on more important areas of life.
The psychedelic experience has shaped me in many ways throughout my life from my choice of profession to the clothes I wear and music I listen to. Even though I have not tripped in several years, the memories and experiences have never left me.
I recently went out to South Texas for work, and the beautiful Navajo styled patterns, the desert, and the slim possibility of coming upon Peyote in Big Bend got me thinking about my times when time stood still.
I never got the opportunity to try DMT, and have been thinking about doing this very soon. I have started reading a lot of Terrence McKenna, more pointedly, "True Hallucinations".
He speaks of his experiences on DMT and Psilocybin, where language is seen, felt, and heard. Strange words that make no sense have meaning; true Glossolalia. He described it to the plant speaking, or a force beyond his world speaking to him, and he speaking to it. His brother had a similar experience. And in someway, this was very important either existentially or perhaps for the action of the drug on the brain.
I had a very similar experience, and usually do when I trip on tryptamine compounds. I hear the auditory hallucinations, but in the peak of the trip they meld with the visions, and the synesthesia already being experienced to form a language, some thing I felt described the "fabric" , or the essence of the world in my brain unfolding. The words I always found to describe, and look like the hallucinatory realm sounded like this:
Widgims (sounds like widget but u instead of it) &
Wixtracies ( like a matrice... but wiz instead of mate)
It's like these sounds perfectly explained the places... the labyrinth of endless and infinite geometry and cosmic architecture I found my self in.
My question- who has had this type of experience, what are your thoughts on how language, and speech are affected by psychedelia, and what if any, weird words have you better out in the midst of hallucinating that you though either explained it all or described your current feelings?
