2cp- Becoming the Ocean, the Sky and an Unconditionally Blissful Part of the Universe
Yesterday, at around 24.00 19 February I achieved what I construe to be my first complete ++++ (Shulgin's rating) trip. Yesterday I swore to myself to document this, and so I sit down now to chronologically reconstruct my life's most harmonic and happy experience.
First and foremost, I would like to account for some of the precursors that allowed me to reach this transcendental state of mind, for I believe that the ingested substances alone would never repeat this accomplishment for anyone, including me.
Introduction
I have recently acquired 100 mg of 2-cp, but currently in possession of no trustworthy scale, I have not dared dose said substance knowing its steep dose/response curve. However, at 2 p.m. yesterday I decided to carefully use a ruler to try and apportion 10 mg from a perfectly dimensional 100 mg line. Said and done, I ingest the supposed 10 mg and proceed to enjoy a very subtle trip with only minimal hallucinations, almost nonexistent mind alteration and an altogether rather uncomfortable body load. The entire evening was spent watching either excerpts from or entire movies (Immortals, Tower Heist, Finding Nemo and Koyaanisqatsi in that order), and at around 11 p.m. I was starting to feel rather annoyed with the jittery body load induced by the 2-cp. Being in possession of some MXE, and having heard that the combination ought to be rather pleasurable, I decide to look it up. I scour the usual information sources for a while, and while there only exist a limited archive of documented experiences, I deduce from this scarce assembly of information that the combination is safe enough and would probably mean a better trip.
I proceed to divide a line of 100 mg in three and insufflate one. It should probably be said that I have a decent knowledge of MXE, by the way, so I feel entirely safe in my decision. There is absolutely no anxiety, and I am wholeheartedly excited to see the result of this experiment. I return to my movies, and slowly start to feel the oncome of the MXE.
The Beginning
The time is now 24.00, and something is happening inside me which I can't quite explain. I am starting to feel like something very important is happening. I abruptly pause the movie and decide it's time to lie down for a while. I open Spotify and navigate my way to the albums of Carbon Based Lifeforms. I have never previously listened to this psychedelic ambiance band, but I just feel this might be the time to explore what their music can do. I close all lights except a set of fluorescent lamps that calmly alternates between a set of colors and lends a very comfortable and atmospherical shine to the room. After these preparations I lie down on my bed and put on my headphones, whereupon the soothing tunes of World of Sleepers instantly engulf me.
What happens next is partly beyond my ability to portray in words. The very instant I closed my eyes I felt a sense of unconditional happiness sprout through my very being. The emotional bliss was so strong I began to laugh and cry at the same time. I said to myself this was the best moment of my life and that no matter what happens in the future, I will always be able to look back to this moment and know that I have experienced the absolutely most beautiful thing in the world. And all the while I progressively disappeared deeper and deeper into an incredibly serene and peaceful space; my mind expanded further and further and I slowly, in accordance to the music, found myself under water. I was not swimming per se, I merely existed in a deep blue ocean... I guess I was the ocean. Whatever the case, I begin to realize I have never quite experienced something like this ever before, for I can still think, I am still aware and I can still, if I want to, open my eyes and return to reality. There is no fear.
Time ticks by, but as many of you know, it seizes to have meaning. I am becoming less and less concerned with the real world as I know it, let alone my own body, as the magnificent underwater landscape gently becomes something else. I remember at some point actually trying to think of any of my usual angst, worldly problems or regrets, but I find them so unimportant; they can't touch me, they don't mean anything. The ocean eventually becomes the sky, and although I am not necessarily flying, I soon end up in space. I catch glimpses of the Earth itself, but not as in seeing it in any conventional sense; I am feeling it, I am experiencing it, and I am the universe around it. I catch glimpses of foreign planetary clusters, of stars and probably more that I can't properly remember. All this while I am aware that somewhere I can still return to my body, and that I eventually will, but the time is surely not now. It does not bother me at all, it is only the inevitable; I feel no regret that I will have to leave the place I am in... or am.
What is highly interesting at this point is that I "woke" up from this state at several occasions; I went to pee probably three or four times, and somewhere around 2 or 3 am I actually returned to my computer, watched a 50 minute long show of my favorite cardician Ricky Jay, whereupon I returned to my bed and entered the very same state again. There was never any trouble returning. All I had to to was close my eyes and allow the music to guide me.
At 4.11 I decided that I wanted to sleep. I shut down the computer and the lights and fell asleep at what I estimate to be 5 a.m.
Conclusion
In hindsight, I realize that what I was experiencing could change the mind, the personality and very essence of anyone - for the better. I realize that very few of the people in this world will ever get a chance to even come close to that ethereal state of existence, and of the very few who do, only a very minimal portion will succeed in reaching the very place I was in. I actually never thought I would be able to achieve this; I had heard of people reaching incredible heights on psychedelic substances, but I never imagined that I would eventually be one of them. I am so profoundly happy this has happened to me. This has truly changed my life.
At this point, I dare not say whether or not I will ever be able to recreate this emprise. However, after finishing this text, I will proceed to ingest 50 or so milligrams of MXE and repeat the same set of preparation, albeit without the 2-cp, to see whether or not I can return. Actually, I feel no anxiety for the outcome. Regardless whether I succeed or not, I will still have the memory of yesterday. I will have that memory forever.
