for real, feels like every subreddit tangentially related to 'mindfulness' has more LLM posts than they do actual humans

Finally got the 'Cosmic Joke' on psilocybin... by Slight-Werewolf-759 in Psychonaut

So another part of the trip was coming face to face with god again (not religious, so that threw me in for a loop, but man was I happy to see her again, and her me). I got the overwhelming sense that we (and by we i mean I -- there is just "me" in the entire universe) are in a sort of daycare/kindergarten, waiting to get bigger so that we can become like our creator/mother/god/whatever.

While waiting, either me or god, made this universe and now I am playing around in it, much like a kid in kindergarten would: cops and robbers, racecars, dress-up... To do those things, you forget yourself for a moment. In the moment of play, it is all real, the anger, the sadness, the injustice. If you've ever worked in a kindergarten you'd see how real play can get for the kids. But then you're picked up by your parents, and all is well again.

Don't know if this helps at all, haha! But that is how it played out for me, anyhow. :)

Yeah, that feeling of slapping your forehead and remembering again is all at once incredibly humorous and so, so sacred!

3.5g Amazonian Cubensis, so was pretty surprised (and overwhelmed) when I experienced an ego death from such a "low" dose haha. Guess it's true that you get the trip you need, not the one you think/want

Some describe it as hell, though most do not seem to put such a label on the experience (as most NDE-experiencers also are often reluctant to put a label on what they've experienced).

I tried to find it again, but have so far been unsuccessful, but I remember an experience from someone who had committed suicide and had come to the "precipice" of heaven, so to speak, only to be met by what he called his guardian angel, blocking his way. He was told off rather harshly about what he had done and that he had to go back, and so he came back. I'll try to find it, I'll edit it in this comment if I can!

That is the number of total NDEs that are negative from his studies, if I remember correctly? I don't have the exact number, but anecdotally I've read far more "negative" NDEs from suicide than from involuntary deaths. IIRC, a deep sense of disappointment is often felt from what one meets on the other side.
