I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    Haha, I had the same experience with my anxiety and shrooms. Realized I could just don’t.

    But my conclusion is different, because I view realizations like that as spiritual in nature.

      Maybe you should give yourself some more credit, the human brain is pretty insane. You ingested a chemical, and it did weird things to your brain, but whatever realizations that you had are yours alone.

      Well then I DID have some spiritual stuff going on if that counts! I suppose I have also experienced… entities? on n,n-DMT breakthroughs. All extremely positive, but incredibly intense.

      It’s definitely time to try that again. I haven’t broken through in maybe eight years.

          Oh the craziest one was my second breakthrough ever. I was siting in a room with my closest friends, and everyone had a crazy face suddenly (they still looked like the people I loved, but with crazy faces!) Two parts stuck out to me so hard, I can still see them to this day. One was the strings. I could visually see strings connecting things from where they currently were, to where they were going to be in the future. I’m convinced that my brain was just working really slow, and what I was seeing were trails from where things WERE, but it looked sooooo different from the trails I’d see see on LSD or MDMA/MDA or RCs. Plus, they didn’t sync right with the words I’d hear from people, making it reeeeally seem like I was seeing strings connecting into the future.

          The second and most intense thing I saw was a new color, that I had never seen before. It was like a scintillating vibrant color, a mashup of blue, pink, silver, gold, maybe? But kinda, cycling through them at the same time? I can still see it in my mind, and I wish I could show it to other people. I cried.
