I Dove into Salvia for the first time today.
I am a long time tripper, Vitamin A, Shrooms, E...
A friend of mine asked me a few months ago if I had ever heard of it and forwarded me some Utube Vids. I must say, I was definitely interested.
Another friend said his Ex had tried it and did not like it... She is somewhat shallow and I don't think she would be able to experience anyting but fear on a ride like Salvia. But anyway... She still had some left, and she gave it to me.
It was enough to fill a large bong bowl. I had a few solo hours at home so I thought, what the fuck, let's do this thing. And did I ever do this thing!
I took the whole load in one big hit and laid down on the bed... Held it in for about 30 seconds and exhaled. I looked around and didn't seem to notice anything until I noticed the my vision had... I dunno... It's like... if I split my field of vision down the middle and discarded the right side and replaced it with a mirrored version of the left. Kind of like the mirroed effect you can do on the Mac. Anyways,(Sorry, I can digress from time to time.) Anyway, the mirrored halves began to curl inward and close in on me. Like two giant fucking waves of reality getting ready to crush my ass. So, next thing I know, all I can see are exploding fractals, reds and whites as intense as they can get. I wasn't even aware of being anymore. All I could do was be folded into myself over, and over and over etc. Then... (Subconcious time) I was back in my childhood. Well, not mine but in one, and I was on a darkened residential street in like... the 50's or 60's and all I could feel was the urge to come home. Wherever that was, and "Home" wasn't where I REALLY was, home was in the trip. My family missed me, my father, my mother, my brother and my sister all missed me and wanted me to come home. Then, I noticed an odd sensation... I couldn't place it. It was cold and repeatative, but I knew it, Then I realized, it was me breathing. I felt like ice cold water was coursing through me but, it wasn't uncomfortable ab all. Then something told me to return to my reality before it was too late. I sat up and opened my eyes. I was able to see the spaces between EVERYTHING, and those spaces coursed with the red and whit fractals I told you about. Then I felt a pulling, and I was being tugged back into the Salvia journey and those fractals were digging into me and pulling me back in. I laid back down and clsed my eyes, and reality began to form again, but as I came out of it, I remember the click clack of my sisters shoes, running up to me to pull me out of the asphalt I was sinking into bacuase she didn't want to lose me again. I opened my eyes once more, and just watched the pulsing of the red and white fractals until they faded away. The oddest thing is, I don't have a sister.
So, now... the biggest unanswered question is, will I try it again? Yes. How soon? Not sure.
I have had breakthrough experiences on shrooms when I was younger, and I was warned back on several occasions because I was "Not ready yet" Hard to explain, but if your are curious, pm me and I will elaborate. But, while I did expect something exploratorily hallucinatory, in no way shape or form did I expect to be folded into myself a hundredfold of times.
I have always known that the unconcious mind has keys to places that not all of us will get to, let alone understand it when and if we do get there and then, have the ability to break though but, this... This was unexpected and not at all unwelcome.
My experience might sound unpleasant to some. It was not. Was I afraid? Yes.
but, I was more afraid of staying and not making it back.
Strange.
I will give you more when I do it again.
And I will.
Heh.
