“When I used to read fairy tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!” — Alice In Wonderland
If you want to experience a real life fairy tale, at least momentarily, take a psychedelic like psilocybin mushrooms, but be sure to have The Psychedelic Trip Journal by your side!!!
“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.” — Vincent Van Gogh
The Psychedelic Norm is not a paved road; It is a forest, an unpaved trail, a field of flowers, a cave, an ocean, space…It is the unexplored areas within the human mind and heart.
The Psychedelic Norm may be outside your comfort zone, but don’t they say that that’s where the magic happens?
“We’re fascinated by the words — but where we meet is in the silence behind them.”
― Ram Dass
This Ram Dass quote reminds me of this Terence McKenna quote:
“There is a transcendental dimension beyond language…It’s just hard as hell to talk about!”
There is a place beyond words where every Soul is welcomed & loved unconditionally.
It’s beyond ego.
Beyond biases.
Beyond the past.
Beyond the future.
It’s within the present moment.
The true present moment, which is always right now.
To get there requires practicing meditation.
Practicing letting go.
Practicing forgiving.
Practicing not judging.
Practicing seeing the Soul self in others & within ourselves.
And from this present moment – where & when we meet in this place beyond words, real magic is possible.
So I finally stopped smoking. October 2nd was a full moon I ingested 30mg of pure psilocybin extract and went for a walk with a good buddy.
I had set my intentions for a good solid week before. Once we arrived at the water fall we ingested another 6 grams and continued our walk.
As we lay in the wood I closed my eyes to kaleidoscope scenes and with the aid of the mushrooms my higher self spoke. This is what it said!
“Next time you have a desire to smoke ask yourself this question! Is that desire stronger than your desire for all of your passions in life”
Obviously my answer will always be no and I haven’t had a smoke since.

Tomorrow, or tonight if I’m not too tired.. I’ll make a thread of what happened the best way possible. You would not believe it.
Quick note: centralization is bad, that is why bitcoin will work. It helps us connect to what we used to have: Togetherness. Openness. Roots. I found so many answers.
Key word that stood out to me: searching.
You just won’t believe what happened or what I learned.
Alright let’s start. My breakthrough.
So we ate the shroom after taking a dip in the water and getting familiar with our surroundings.
Straight vibing and chilling. We get the effects such as: heaviness, more-so a body high.
Fast forward
We are just realizing shit and nature.
Later on.. idk how long we were just talking, looking around, realizing the beauty in everything. Then people came down. They’re clearly they’re the ones that maintain the falls because shitty ass humans leave trash and have no appreciation for nature, what its about.. i digress.
They came down to fix this bamboo raft because people use it for fun like us you know. It was super cool because they were family.. sort of like a tribe. NO ONE said anything. We all just mind our business and whatnot. While we trip and shit
There was even a “leader” of the tribe. He’s just an uncle or brother or something. They’re local people.
Didn’t say anything to us even tho we were throwing mandarin peels on the ground (fertilizer for plants 🙂
Anyways..
I finally take a dip in again. I grab a bamboo just to lay in the freshwater. Looking up at the greenery surrounding me. All the life. The breathing of leaves. Beautiful.
I try to tell my friends to come in, but don’t want to force because on shrooms you just accept. But in this case they were fine so I didn’t want to bother them.
The “tribe” people are done trying to fix the raft so they head up to the top of the falls.
There was one kid that was having trouble swimming because the river was getting intense and this is where I start tripping the fuck out. I started feeling it took on my feet and I was telling my friends that we should go up because there is possibly a flashflood.
The sun was going away and getting a little shady. The river current was getting stronger.
So I manned the fuck up and my first thought was: survival. I told my friends, “look i know im tripping out rn, but i think its a great idea to start moving up just in case”
Mind you, im on shrooms and so are 5 others. Im the one that took these guys on the hike. I was panicking hard af. One friend was just straight chilling with no worries.
But I had to take lead. I started pouring out half a gallon of water out into the river for lighter bag
I turned on my speakers and started hiking up the trail and told them, “Alright I got music. We are going to survive. We are not ending up on the news. Follow me and the sound of the music playing”
I was leader. This is where the breakthrough started.
In that moment I was like, “no one dies. i love life. we must enjoy everything and all the things. appreciate one another. we dont have a lot of time.” so on and so forth..
My mindset was strictly survival for my friends and I.
I threw all the bottles. Shirts, socks, whatever trash i could find and just throw that shit in my bag man. None of that belonged there. I was even thinking not even our shoes that we wear belong in that environment. Made-made bullshit.
I started trekking up the trail. I was fucking tarzan bro. Grabbing on branches and roots with one hand. Completely forgot there was a rope on the left side. I was even holding a waterproof bag full of ice and shit in one hand.
“Lets go guys we gotta get to higher ground!!”
Then we got up higher and at a safer area. Then I just sighed and told my friend closest to me “i know im tripping hard, but i love you guys and life. I wanted us to be safe”
He said “its okay man, don’t worry”
Then we got to the top-ish part of the falls where the “tribe” people were. They weren’t really tribe. Just locals, but I felt the energy and vibe that they had and connection to nature that WE ALL LACK.
They left when we got there.
It was beautiful. The scenery and everything. The flowers. The openness.
This is where I just sat and reflected. I actually teared up a bit.
I wish I recorded my thoughts and what I said. I’ll try to recollect.
I realized as a first-world country/citizen we keep searching for answers. We’re so disconnected from nature. I felt like the psilocybin made me a plant in a sense. It made me realize that we are all connected. We feed, reproduce, etc etc.
I started thinking about openness, which is what I was searching for trying to survive. We were down at the bottom of the falls, a little open, but a little enclosed. I wanted to get to the top. Be open, free, safe, more..
my friends looked like they never seen nature before. when we got to the top they just went in the water and laid there. I felt like a tribe leader and leading them back to our roots as a species.
Pure bliss. I started thinking about openness and how we all need to see this beautiful place and take care of our earth. We need to share and be at peace with one another. Our problems are so small. We’re so boxed in.
Then I started thinking about how centralization is FUCKED. Government control, police, money, our phones and narcissistic mfs. We humans keep searching and think we know so much. Searching for closure, a sense of safety. What if the safety is to be free?
Music was playing and realized that 808s and drums and shit are so big in hip hop because we gravitate to that shit naturally. How did our ancestors “make music” or sounds? Drumming and shit. Oscillating sounds are peaceful cause we have a deep connection to it
I started thinking about rappers. Why do we rap and think its the greatest shit? Because FREE FLOW and OPENNESS.
We are just like plants and need to soak in whatever we can get. Just make its right. Keep things simple.
Minimalism
Why are modern houses so minimal nowadays? Simplicity. We are realizing the best things in life are free. We don’t need much. Everything we have is around us and we need to appreciate it all.
Thank you @CryptoAnx on Twitter for your Psilocybin Story!!
…So I clearly picked the stick up. Magic. It really did feel surreal. I later showed my friends who, at the time, we were all a little separated, walking around in our own worlds…but the same world.
^Another realization — The truth of Paradox.
I saw both sides of many coins, and realized that they were all true. Like just above, we’re all in the same world, but also, we all operate individually within ourselves, our brains, mind, or whatever. Heart too.
Another Paradox — That we are all connected and that we’re all separate. Similar to above. We’re all living individual lives, but beyond who we think we are(which might be ego?), is who we actually are — which is one entity. I’ll relate this one to living in the state you had as a child. There was a time in our lives, when we were really young, that we didn’t separate ourselves from anything. It could have been from our lack of knowledge/education….but it could have been that that is who we are in our purest form? We don’t fear anything. We don’t fear death because we don’t think about it. We’re truly living in the moment, thoughtless, and isn’t that what so many people try to do, or have always been trying to do? — reach that state of bliss, of no thoughts. We see people turn to drugs, alcohol, food, anything to try and get away from “ourselves”(who we think we are), and yes, psilocybin is considered a drug, but there are things that are legal, like Cigarettes, that are wayyyy worse for our health(not judging as I dabble sometimes, just comparing).
There are many reasons Psilocybin is illegal while there are numerous lethal things that are legal. We are on our way though, making progress, more people are opening up to it, and this is actually one of the good trends to follow
This comes from my experience though, so it may not be for everyone, but I believe in psilocybin’s benefits. It’s more than great seeing research and studies being done in this area, and I look forward to all that is to come from it 🙂
This was a short excerpt from My First Real Trip.
My first mushroom trip, the night before my sons first birthday, changed my life forever.
I’ll never forget the way the moonlights reflection on the ocean formed into my sons ultrasound. It was a reality check to get my shit right or else I would fall.
Told me ‘fuck the self sorrow I need to focus and grind stop partying stop acting like I got all the time in the world’.
I had to go then the ultrasound changed to a white tiger something I seen in a dream once that scared the shit out of me and the drive had hit me 2 years ago still hasn’t slowed down 🤘🏽
