It was just an expression... I really don't believe in "Goddess Salvia."
I have to agree that while in the Salvia mindset, it does indeed seem like that state is the REAL truth behind consciousness, and this which we call "reality" in our "normal" state is indeed some kind of fantasy or game that the "salvia beings" are having just to play around or have fun or "park themselves" in temporarily or something. But the thing is.... when the Salvinorin-A wears off... we always come back here, no?
"Comes on slowly and deliberately, like a gentle instructor teaching your mind the new steps to a magical dance. But one that you find much to your surprise you already know and have done before. Slow enough that you can actually observe the process of transformation that is happening... feel slowly opened doors to new ways of seeing and understanding... accept as enchanting visions the experiences you are being offered. Yet you recognize it all... a slowly dawning, highly moving feeling of Deja Vu, of coming home, an undeniably potent to the core sensation of "This is where I and all of our 'I's are originally from... deep blue cobalt light, the most beautiful illumination you have ever seen, comes up from the ground and from behind objects in your local environment, deepening the ancient and inviting magical trance, until you drift off, close your eyes and simultaneously open them in a brilliant golden honey-colored sun illuminated field, meadow or yard that you cannot place but remember having run in... blue sky and clouds float spacily by overhead... and you close your new eyes in this place... only to simultaneously open them in the next vista of endless imagination.... this could go on forever you think to yourself... NO... this HAS BEEN going on forever... vaguely, fondly remembering your Earthly human existence as but one stop among an infinite number of way-stations your eternally traveling spirit has visited then left... visited then left.... visited then left..."
Concur 1000%! The sensation of "Deja-Vu" is really strong and deep for me... the details of the individual experiences hardly seem coherent enough to matter, except for one, when I smoked it while on LSD... experience was VERY coherent and still "worries" me to this day:

Ummm... I dunno... are you usually afraid of sweat?
You should not be... maybe you are really an Indian long ago in a sweat lodge and you have eaten some Peyote your shaman has given you.
Last time I did this combo the salvia smoke was really sage smoke mixed with magical herb that Shaman, leaning over me was blowing into my mouth, trying his best to awaken me from a Vision Quest dream whose grip I had fallen far far too strongly under... for a few moments I recognized him through the swirling smoke and the teepee I lay on the hard ground next to, and I remembered my entire life with my plains people, and I remembered that I had just gotten stuck in some terrible nightmare about a strange future where my people were all slaughtered and Mother Earth was over run by awful mean violent people of a thousand different tribes all fighting each other and raping the earth.. I heard great very old very wise ocean teachers called "whales" singing to me, but I could understand them, singing a warning that the Sun had sung to them about how the overtakers were about to kill everything everywhere with their excess and selfishness and they were all hypnotised by these strange glowing flat pieces of slate that had moving pictures on them.... But Shaman's smoke magic was not strong enough and I got sucked back down into this terrible nightmare we call USA 2010, and here I am again! I sure hope Shaman tries again to wake me up back to my real life, and I will warn them of this horrible future where the Earth Mother and all her people and animal children are fighting and crying all the time. I long for that day. TIll then I will try to help you awaken from YOUR too-strong future vision-dreams from here on the inside! Join me, won't you?
Am I REALLY that Indian boy trapped in a vision-quest-dream of THIS reality??? Hmmmm.... still I do wonder... that experience was SO clear and bright and real and consistent, I have alot of trouble dismissing it as a fantasy or wish... yet here I am stuck permanently in in 20th century USA it would seem!
But even the "balloon careening around the room" type of random salvia smoke experiences have a STRONG feeling of: I've BEEN HERE BEFORE, FOREVER!!! My 'human' life is just something that this fleet butterfly-like 10-dimensional salvia-being who I REALLY am flits into for a lark or maybe to learn... seems like a full life as a human but once my mind "pops out" of the human mind and back to salvia-dimension, time is at like a 90 degree angle to our time sense here, and has no meaning... an entire human life only lasted a blink from that perspective... this sense that OH YEA, *THIS* IS WHAT I REALLY AM... WHAT A RELIEF!!! NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND TAKE SO DAMN SERIOUSLY... ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING WAS JUST A DREAM OF SOME KIND, HAHA, HEHE, AWAY WE GO, WHEEEE! OFF TO SOME OTHER MENTAL ADVENTURE, PERHAPS AN ALIEN OR A TREE OR A STAR THIS TIME, YAHOO!
I am not kidding, that's what it has seemed like to me more than a few times. WTF is all that??? What does it mean? Is it some other way of perceiving my consciousness in the universe, equally valid as this human "I" ego glued and trapped inside this skull? Seems that way while the salvia lasts, but then I end up back here again, and this seems more real, except for that lingering feeling of strong Deja Vu I had while "over there".
NOTE: I also agree with later posts that sublingual is the way to go... the original way the shamen did it... some extracts don't work though... the one called "Emerald Essence" from Siebert, the original researcher of the stuff, really did do it VERY effectively however... cheaper ones did not. SAME Deja Vu effect, only the whole thing evolves more slowly and lasts ALOT longer and you can actally bring more back, but it still seemed quite dreamy, but also REAL, as if I was WAKING UP from THIS world which is the dream, back to my TRUE NATURE in a way that is hard to describe. Also, I always got a sense of Pine Trees (from the taste/smell of the salvia) and oddly, but very beautifully, strong strong feeling of seeing a very clear very deep Cobalt Blue light everywhere, behind and i inside of everything. Anyone ever get that on salvia, especially sublingual?
Oh yea... I always found that to get my mind to separate from my body and allow the trance to properly form, I need STILL and QUIET. Movement, touch, noise all seem to prevent the separation, and pull me back into my regular human place. So try to sit/lay as motionless as you can for the best chance to get it to work... even jostling or giggling by friends it the room can mess it up, at least for me.
), go for it. I am sure Goddess Salvia is loving every second of the slamming you give to her 8)
