Ever since I began experimenting with heavy mind altering drugs, my perception of reality has changed drastically. I feel as if my views on the world would be considered insane by most, but I feel as though in the current body I inhabit, I've reached a high level of consciousness; which many would not understand.
It feels like I'm experiencing a dream at almost all times, almost a constant state of lucidity, a feeling of surrealism to my environment around me. I've also been very de-realized ever since my last DMT trip, it's as if after being exposed to what the drug had to offer, it ripped the veil off of reality, showing me a truer version of what it is, visually and mentally. At first this was all very terrifying to me, the entire experience of losing ones ego, the thing that made "you" unique, it really is scary at first. I've slowly been coming to terms and realizing what it is, and I'm okay with death now. Now that I have a better understand of: not what life IS, but what life IS NOT.
I can no longer watch television and fully enjoy it anymore, I look past the act and see just another human pretending to be someone he's not, it's part of the individuals job. On top of that I'm not even witnessing an actual person, just a capturing of his light in multiple places, and played quickly side-by-side to create the illusion of fluid movement. This is weird shit that I think about too often, I used to be uncomfortable and would actually panic due to it, but now I'm okay with it because there's nothing else I can really do.
The more I think on life, the more unreal it becomes, and the more I feel like I'm just a machine in a simulation with the illusion of consciousness. Which is the truth really, once the shades have been taken off, there is no unseeing what has been witnessed. It was my experimentation with shrooms that exposed the Fibonacci sequence to me. Ever since mushrooms, I've always had pattern recognition to see the way in which nature grows and spirals, the fractals are in literally everything. Prior to me being able to recognize this "code" everything was just static to me, I was living life in my head, blinded by media, and the redundancy of everyday life; I'd never thought to question why.
The more I tripped, and the more I thought, the deeper I plunged into my quest for the "truth". It was my final DMT trip though that really made me question everything. "Me", "I", "You", suddenly these all became concepts, the ego I had possessed had completely dissipated. This is the time when reality quickly became an illusion to me, looking at everything from the veins in my arms, to the branches of a tree, to the shape of the entire cosmos. This odd unison of eternity all started coming together, and my significance within this reality quickly dropped to nothing. I used to get severe panic attacks from over-thinking these things, but I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter. I now know that I'm merely another organism, and I'm self-aware of my own mortality, and my own limitations of knowledge as a human-being. The thought of that terrified me originally, but the thought came in "this is how it is, why panic?" and furthermore, "this is how it always has been, only difference is now you know".
So is there a continuum of consciousness, just eternally flowing? Are we just machines with the illusion of consciousness? Is there a spirit? God? Or is this all a dream? I know that none of us will ever know the answer to these questions while alive. Sure, during my DMT trip I knew, I knew everything, it all made sense "oh shit I forgot, this is the place". The "place" where everything was nothing, and nothing was all, you, me, I, us, we, all of what we call existence was contained within this void. It's hard to tell if it was an actual truth I had witnessed, or if it was a fragment of my imagination and my brain saying "hey look I'll convince myself this is the answer". What is real? Why something instead of nothingness?
The entire concept of time is completely gone for me, there no longer is time, just the idea of it. As I continually get older "time goes by faster", which helped me to realize that time isn't even real, all that there is, is now. But who knows? Anything is possible right? Maybe everything is happening all at once, the beginning, middle, and the end. The brain just needs a way to process this in an orderly fashion so that our reality can be comprehensible.
I am also firmly against the belief in a typical view of what God is, for me we are God. God is the encompassment of everything, consciousness, death, life, experience, being, and nothing. We are all one it seems, and always have been from the start. Although it doesn't make sense to come from nothing, and go towards something (or nothing), but it doesn't have to make sense. Humans want sense out of everything because it is needed for them to understand a concept. But it's something that defies language and logic. There doesn't have to be a reason or a way to anything just because we want it to. I'm just happy to be an observer of this intricate world, this is truly THE experience. Make the most of it, it's the only thing you can do.
Please share any ideas, beliefs, or thoughts you have if you read through this weird ramble. I'd like to see what others think of reality, to possibly add to my beliefs, or to just give me and others something to think about.
