Interesting.. One thing I noted with my K is that since I started
experimenting with LSD/Psylocybin, the "K feeling" went from
"tingles" to "liquid pressure." But this could also be due to other
factors. When I was experimenting with Cannabis, I would feel
many blissful "tingles," sometimes too much and that extra
"thinking" Cannabis promotes is what brought about the paranoia,
so I have since stopped Cannabis use completely.
In case anyone is interested in knowing the effects
LSD/Psylocybin bring around in *my* K-active body, here's an
attempt at description. If not interested, skip :)
LSD/Psylocybin seems to work alright, effects are hard to
describe. In a sense, without meditating on it, nothing happens, in
another, everything happens.. Darn duality =); pretty much
everything is just the way it always is, only "enhanced" in every
aspect (Not just "colors"), and I get little to no "hallucinations,"
unless I explicitly try to use my 3rd Eye, but it doesn't work very
well. The sense of "touch" doesn't seem to be enhanced, or
maybe it is, but all I can feel is "the K pressure" around my body.
Also, the trick is in not taking too much, since very little of it is
enough to bring about "effects." Taking "too much" would result
(with me) in not being able to move or do anything, since doing so
would mean "I" could be "carried away" by any experience,
"becoming" that experience and losing "myself" in it, maybe
"forever." At a high dose, breathing also becomes difficult, as if one
breath "was not enough" to fulfill the oxygen needs of the body. It
takes a strong mind to keep it together in that situation, I don't
recommend it.
Since everything is enhanced, so are "bodily" matters such as
tiredness, pain, fatigue, etc, except "rationalizing" and "thinking,"
these two are pretty much "cut off". I seem to just "be."
It's as if LSD/Psylocybin releases a jolt of "enhancement energy"
and it all gets used up quickly and at once. This I say because
after a few hours into the "trip," I become very tired and "drained."
Everything is still very "enhanced," but now I have little control over
it because I'm outright "tired." This I can attribute to the LSD
lasting way too long (About 8hrs with me). Psylocybin is better in
that sense. Strangely, I experience a similar effect while sober. If I
don't sleep for a night, I will start getting that same "tired" feeling
and everything will start getting "enhanced," just as if I was under a
very low dose of LSD.
That's about it, from the top of my head. Hope it doesn't bother
anyone to have to read stuff like this on a K-list, but I felt I had to
share my experiences. Afterall, I experiment with it to "see what
happens." But my K reacts in some way day by day now, while
meditating, so the "curiosity" that drives my experimentation is
dying away.
Love&Light,
Alex.
