“As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You’re not thinking about loving: you’re just being love, radiating like the sun.”
-Ram Dass
I’ve explained the experience of my first psilocybin trip as if it were like I dissolved into the external world & became completely one with it.
How do I explain the experience of leaving my body? haha… it’s truly ineffable. It can only be experienced.
But to try — it’s an out-of-mind & out-of-body experience. It’s total trust in life, because you become one with life. There are no thoughts, but there is a feeling. & the feeling is complete bliss. It’s a knowing for certain, without a doubt, beyond thoughts, that EVERYTHING is perfect…The body knows for sure.
This can be defined as a mystical experience, and for me, psilocybin triggered this.
This didn’t mean that I was all of a sudden enlightened forever. All it was was temporary enlightenment, but this experience was so life-changing that I spent years working to integrate it into my daily life.
This is also why I created The Psychedelic Trip Journal — For you to integrate these experiences into your life.
But yea, my first psilocybin experience was in 2011 when I was a sophomore in college.
Ten years later, here I am. Integrating my integrations into the world, like so many before me.
One of the main reasons I am an activist for psilocybin & plant medicine is because they can evoke these mystical experiences, temporary enlightenment, and even if it only happens for one in a million, it’s worth it.
