I want to preface this post by saying I don't encourage anyone to take illicit substances or break the law. It's not my intention, but if this post inspires you to try psychedelics, please take caution when doing so. They're powerful, and something I personally find best not to play around with or use without intention.

                         ---------------------

In my experience, psychedelic drugs are an incredible tool for exploring your psyche. Every once in a while, I like to have a day to myself where I take them, and give myself a bit of a "Firmware Update" lol. Goddard describes sleep as being when your conscious mind goes to rest with your subconscious. I think of psychedelic experiences as the inverse, when your subconscious comes to visit you in the waking world. There's a reason why they are becoming an accepted and desired tool in use for therapy, as the experience can deliver a profound level of personal insight achievable by no other means, except perhaps incredibly masterful meditation.

For those of you who've never had a psychedelic experience, it's an indescribable feeling, something you can only understand once it's felt. It's like superimposing a dream on top of the 3D, like your mind juggling multiple potential states at once, struggling to maintain a grip on things. It can be incredibly fun and eye-opening, but it can also be straight-up terrifying. I've had some of the best experiences of my entire life while tripping, and also one of the worst.

The most beneficial aspect I find is not from the crazy visuals you see, but from the abstract thinking and wildly different perspective that comes with it. It makes me feel less in-tune with my earthly identity, and more like the conscious being behind it all. In my most intense experience so far, I felt my consciousness more or less completely disassociate with my current state of being, before being dropped into a sea of chaos. It was actually much more fun and enlightening than it sounds lol. In each of my more recent trips, I've felt like I walked away with an insight that I later found expressed in manifestation teachings.

Psychedelics are actually what indirectly brought me to Goddard's work. I took mushrooms and had an incredibly intense experience where I realized myself to be an experience experiencing itself. Upon seeking if anyone else felt this realization, I landed upon some Law of Assumption videos on YouTube and progressed from there. Since then, I've done a few more macro doses and a lot of microdoses, and I find both to be incredibly beneficial in both recognizing my I Am, and seeing how my consciousness shapes your world. If you don't know the difference, macro doses are amounts of a psychedelic that lead to your typical "tripping" experience, while a microdose is a far smaller amount, allowing for a bit of the mood boosting and insight, without making you a stranger to the world of man.

Has anyone else had similar experiences? Whether you have or haven't, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
