Each Time is the First Time

The apparent linear progression of time was halted by a healthy dose of Cubensis, and sunken deep in the lap of conscious reality the awareness of repeated, though unique, existence presented itself.

To be alive is a privilege, but to be alive and to be aware of its inherent unique beauty is a gift.

I had never been able to appreciate myself and this life with as much depth as i was after the deconstruction and subsequent rebuilding of 'my' self. The emotional cleansing and physical release of tension were very much part of the trip, but uprooting and healing deep-seated issues and trauma in a loving environment that existed within me was without a doubt the most cathartic experience I had until then.

Words can't fully express the gratitude I have for this small and in-nocuous fungus, and what it has given me all these years ago. Even now, at the beginning of this year, after a long absence, a mushroom trip was able to heal and offer closure of something that came to the surface, seeing my mother slip away into old age.

Perhaps the time has come to return to awareness of the fact that each time is the first time. Everyday life has the habit of obscuring the obvious truths, but whatever this life is, it's extraordinary.
 
It might be superficial, but I think the disintegration of time on a mushroom trip is partly what makes music so enjoyable.

It also leads you into that altered state of consciousness that's equally valid, almost like another mode of reality that's been there in the background of your mind for all your life, and you've simply used the fungus and its funny chemical to switch over there. That's how I feel whenever I'm high on anything, whether it's a good trip or bad.
