I haven't been able to get in touch with Xorkoth in those three or so years. I'd like to talk to him just so he can know I'm in so much better a place than the last time we chatted. I think he was worried for me... and for good reason at the time.

Would like to know how life has been treating him.

I speak to him regularly and can pass along some contact info if you Pm me

I'm happy to hear he's still with us. I don't wish to bother him. But if I ever go through the town he's in again I might try to get in touch.

What kinds of language have you guys found useful (though slept on) for articulating altered states of consciousness? Any resources you'd point somebody towards? I'm writing a thing about that right now and it's been whooping my ass given the profoundly subjective nature of the whole thing.

I don't know if i'm understanding your question correctly but I think I really like that question.


gesticulation, movement would be something less obvious, that comes to my mind.
I can remember one moment from last year, where I had once again consumed a really big dose of mushrooms (can't say how big, because it was mixed with peanut butter by a friend). Anyways, once I gobbled it down I can remember having some movement (it was outside at a festival, and it was turning night at the moment).
but I decided to go back to the camper, getting inside the cargo space of it, but leaving the door open and having the light turned on inside.
So people outside at the camping grounds were able to see me sitting there having my psyche blown.
I can vividly remember that my movement was inherently different to my sober state, and people quickly took notice.
Not really because it was out of the ordinary. Everyone did these things there, but I gobbled the mushrooms down so quickly after arriving, that I think I was one of the first people there breaking through already :D.
So some german people, who clearly took a slower approach, near the trailer made a funny comment towards me sitting there "That is what one should videotape actually".
I think they were maybe talking about videotaping at the festival, which not many people do at these events...

Right after that my friend came back, got inside too and closed the door, to cook up some kratom, at the same time mumbling something like "enough..."


Edit: To add to your question further with my example.
My movement sitting there having a big dose for the first time since years, was very little in its amount.
Just slightly turning my head, the intent of my will, quickly bursting out into slight movements, instantly and fluidly reflecting on its path, while executing simultanously.
It was like a slight turning of the head, maybe 1 cm, then slowly raising my hand, quickly putting it down again. Then maybe a short smile appeared, and vanished again.

It was such little movement, but people noticed almost instantly so there was definately something about it, I couldn't speak words at that point. Few words like "Ah, so..." And if i spoke some, they instantly took strong influence, (I think not because of the meaning of the words but more of the timing when i put them out or 'how' I said them) hence why I didn't speak, only sitting moving around a little. Only expressions I was able to put out there. Pupils were probably flying saucers at that point
