Infinity

[zazi-nombies]

Hello all! First time poster, and I'm very excited to be a part of this community!
I would like to share an experience from a recent LSD trip, and I'm curious to see if any of you have experienced something similar.

I was on two tabs of L, laying in my bed with one of my friends who was also tripping. While we were staring at my ceiling, I blinked;
but in this minuscule fraction of time it felt as if I had experienced infinity within an finite moment. I was aware that it was only the
blink of an eye, but also aware that I seemed to float in this moment for infinity. I understand time delusion, but this wasn't like
having an hour long conversation, glance at a clock and see it's only been 15 minutes. It got me thinking that perhaps our minds are
capable of perceiving time not only as a constant, but also able to experience "infinity" in each individual moment.
It's quite hard to explain or put EXACTLY into words, but it led to some great conversations with me and my friend.

Any insight on this subject? Thank you

Welcome, glad to have you here.

I certainly have experienced infinity on psychedelics, where time is no longer relevant or I am able to experience it all at once. You're right, it is hard to put into words.

This phenomenon is not only common to the psychedelic experience, but to mystic experiences in general. You can probably find some good ways of describing the experience, and some interesting perspectives on the implications of the infinite as it relates to human existence, if you investigate different schools of mystical thought. You might want to dabble not only in primary texts, but in modern academic investigations of those teachings to boot.
