chosen by who?
if no one chose you, then the question should be "how do you feel to have been lucky enough to have experienced a ++++
ps : except for the ++++, i find shulguin's scale rather bad at describing the scale of experiences
Is ++++ really just ego death?
no
Ive done a lot of reading on ++++ experiences and feel like ive experienced one before
if you had one, you have no doubt about it
you don't even need to know what a ++++ means to know that you've experienced something that transcends anything you could have dreamed of
just like ego death : if you "think" you had ego death, you haven't
it doesn't leave any place for doubt
++++ is beyond anything that can be put in words.
that
How have you dealt with that experience? How have you tried to relate it to other people? How have you attempted to integrate it into your life?
i totally integrated it in my life
i tell it to anyone who's interested (asking me about my ayahuasca and 5-mro-dmt tattoos for instance) and don't care if they take me for crazy because i know they live a lie
those where the most important instants of my life and will be forever
there's my life before, and my life after
fortunately, it kind of teleportated me forward in the direction i was going rather than reveal paradoxes with what i was thinking. so it was rather easy to integrate (if you can strip yourself of all your prejudices)
i told my parents, who had no idea that i was using drugs and had all the prejudices that parents have
and even tried to convince them to take ayahuasca
they listened to me and i think rather believe me, although they can't really understand it
but they're a bit scared of trying
i've many friends who don't use psychedelics; and because they know me, they took it seriously
they showed interest in trying
but i moved away and i don't think they'll do the effort on their own
gonna get more soon and go at it again... can NOT wait.
