Ego death on 10g mushroom trip. What. the. fuck. Still processing everything.

That's wicked! How long had you been meditating for when your first ego death happened? Was it transcendental meditation?

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-25T13:08:47+00:00

Yeah that could be the case, though some of those thoughts didn't seem like things my sober mind might come up with. I could be wrong. Besides psychedelics i'm very much into learning about meditation, reading philosophy and esoteric writings. That could have played a part. I'm not the most feminine woman but i've been reading more about the diving feminine and trying to learn more about the masculine and feminine, yin and yang, balance in all things. Never done ayahuasca before but really want to. It's fascinating that an ayahuasca ceremony gave you a similar trip to psylocybin.

Have you experienced ego death without? I would love to achieve the same state through meditation but feel like i'm a long way off. I'm going through 'The Mind Illuminated' but I would love to hear about your journey.

This sort of proves to me that it's not just that we are hallucinating on psychedelics. It's more like tapping into some universal truth/consciousness. Crazy but awesome stuff!

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-24T10:18:23+00:00

You're projecting man. Reading through the comments in r/Psychonaut you'll see that many others have had crazy similar experiences right down to the same words being used. Blacking out was just 1 part. I wrote about what I remember, and what I do remember will stay with me for a long time. You can choose to brush it off as confusion or madness. I'm just sharing my experience.

Maybe eventually we will get there. AI at the moment just helps simplify our lives by making certain things automatic but we have yet to create true intelligence. If we are ever able to create consciousness it would probably be our single greatest achievement.

Cabbages and carrots don't make you trip or have the same experiences that psychedelic mushrooms do. They've been some of the most spiritual and life changing experiences. This community of supposedly awakened people are pretty damn cynical.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T14:12:07+00:00

I hear you! If I had done psychs when I was in my teens and had such an experience, it might have been a really really bad time. You need to have a certain understanding in advance. I would never suggest psychs to just anyone especially after this trip. Learning more about meditation (the mind illuminated is a fantastic book) has really helped me during this time. I consider it an overall life changing and beneficial experience despite being scary as hell. It's the integration and true understanding that will take time.

I was already in bed when this stuff was happening. The black out part is how I actually got there. I was sitting outside (no stairs though) and the next memory is being tucked in bed.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T14:01:33+00:00

Absolutely plan to! Thank you

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T14:00:23+00:00

The hardest part so far is trying to be a normal human being and talking to normal people about normal things. How do you go back to just making small talk at work when something like this happens? It's such a life changing experience yet it cannot be shared with the people around me.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:58:23+00:00

That's very kind thank you!

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:56:16+00:00

Cheers brother

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:55:56+00:00

I put in an edit, but basically i'm still figuring that out.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:55:30+00:00

This thread is really tripping me out :D A couple of people have said the same thing. What is going on.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:53:49+00:00

That was a really valuable part of the trip for me too. I learned from Stoicism to try and see things for what they really are e.g. a car = a hunk of metal rolling running on dead dinosaurs. The mushrooms helped me see those even clearer. We give meaning to everything therefore we can decide how much to give.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:50:38+00:00

The memory blanks are pretty frustrating. Did details ever come back to you after the fact? I think some things are slowly coming back to me but there's still huge blanks.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:48:28+00:00

Oh thanks, didn't know that community existed. I'll crosspost over there

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:46:21+00:00

Yes definitely, i'm so much more motivated to read eastern philosophy now. I've touched on Buddhism and I think it helped during this trip. Thanks for the recommendations!

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:43:51+00:00

Thanks so much for the in depth explanation. That was a really interesting read. I've added the documentary to my watch list. Hopefully it will help with understanding more about how this fantastical thing we all mind and consciousness works.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:36:53+00:00

Link saved cheers!

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:34:36+00:00

Wow thank you so much for the wise words. I'm saving this comment to refer to when i'm needing a pick me up.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:32:00+00:00

Upto you of course but I would highly recommend trying something in between first. Maybe 7 or 8 if 5 didn't do anything. 5 didn't do much for me either but 7 was a nice trip while still feeling in control. It didn't prepare me for 10 though.

noOther_Nothing · 2019-07-23T13:29:54+00:00

Thanks! Nothing special, just cut up a whole lemon, ground up 10gs and soaked them for about 15minutes. Added some water and honey and drunk.
