As I write this, it's almost 1am. I took the shrooms at 5pm the day before. I blew the hinges off the door to perception and I understand quite a bit more about reality and this place we live in.

How to chronicle the experience? Like linear time exists - HA. For the first few hours, I felt various 'chakra centers' activate. The heart chakra, the crown chakra, etc. I felt the place I was sitting in to be very sacred. For the first few hours, I just sat in this very very sacred place and just marveled at all that is.

There was the usual perception distortions but sometime around 10pm everything started to - level out. I've felt this state before - but only while I was lucid dreaming.
I've felt this state before - but only while I was lucid dreaming.
Except this wasn't some fluke - this was constant and it didn't go away. I'm still in this state now. Everything takes a slight shimmer, of a quantum probability. I get the feeling that this is how everyone will see the world in the 'future'.

Time is not as real as you think.

In this state, some things are easier to see than otherwise. I've finally answered what happened to me in 2005 - it only makes sense if I'm willing to let go of linear time and just be in the now. I understand why I've been seeing numerical coincidences. Many things make sense now. This is a chapter of my life that is closing, and a new one is opening.

We're all living in the dream world. You're dreaming, right now. That's all there is, all that will ever be, all that was - a waking dream.

I wonder if I'll ever really sleep again - if I'm dreaming constantly - what's the point?

In conclusion, this is not really a party drug.
