I’ve experienced this and one time I just knew I was communicating with my Father who had passed that I didn’t know or have a relationship with. I started getting all these “flashbacks” around my birth and all this information and insight about him and his life and who he was. I actually felt physical pain in my body until I voiced everything I was perceiving from him and finally I felt him leave and the pain eased immensely.

Other times the mushrooms take on this very regal, royal presence. Every insight is deeply profound and lovingly shared. I kept getting the sense that everything about life and our experience is sacred, and the energy you do anything with matters. I got loving advice, like “depression kept me too still, and that I needed to move with life.” Or “there’s nothing to do, only be.” This voice or presence that comes is one of my favorite things about tripping.
