whoa, watch out there, man...we got a thing around here called T&C!
I too have noticed similar experienced in the days and weeks following mind-altering experiences, long after the chemicals have worn off. I truly
think it is a "spiritual" effect, for lack of a better word...something about opening yourself up to other dimensions of consciousness/reality
(which I see as two sides of the same coin.)
I wish I could say that was the cause of some of the weird things I've been feeling, but alas, I have abstained for psychedelics for nearly two years
now... somewhat due to moving away from trusted friends who had access to such, but I have chosen not to seek them out due to feeling that I am not in
the right state of mind anymore to experience such (as Leary said, 'set and setting'...which includes your own state of mind.)
Then again, maybe reality itself is taking a psychedelic turn, and the same fears and anxieties which have kept me away from my sacraments are the
same ones that will turn this "shift" into a "bad trip." I do feel that is a big part of what people call "ascension," "the rapture,"
"dimensional shift," 2012, etc... reality will explode wide open and it will be an amazing thing. But those who feel fear and anger will see an
angry, fearful world, and those who see love and peace will see a peaceful and loving world. Which is 100% true about our reality today, but it will
be magnified (much as psychedelics can only magnify what is only already inside you ... as anyone who has had a 'bad trip' or 'pot paranoia'
should be able to attest to, if they are honest with themselves.)
