REPORT
My first experience was the most amazing unimaginable thing, I had no idea how powerful and intense this was going to be.
Myself and two friends decided that the experience was one that we were eager and willing to go after. We chose a location on top of a small hill/cliff type thing near my house with a view that went on for about half a mile until being blocked by the surrounding forest. There was a storm moving into the area as well which made for some interesting color schemes in the sky. We chose to have this experience one at a time as well. I was to go second.
The first one to go did not properly vaporize and had returned in under 3 minutes claiming it wasn't going to happen this time. As i go i was worried because I had no way to tell if this was going to work. I inhale once. Twice. Three times. Time begins to stretch. Thought begins to stretch as well. Fractals beyond comprehension. I find myself in a void where my life is examined by some sort of extraterrestrial being. It is important to note now that after about what seemed like an eternity I realize i am hearing something speak to me and it is not my inner self. Immediately I think "Who are you?" only to have an immediate response..."Time." At this moment everything in existence stopped. Awestruck i ask "where are you?", the tree directly infront of my field of vision transforms into some sort of eye similar to that of lord of the rings but not at all. I cannot even explain how it looked because it is beyond words. I ask him "what are you?" response was laughter and repetition of a previous answer "Time." everything slows further. At this point I feel a surge of thoughts entering my brain from what feels like another dimension. I have no means of thinking just observing whats happening. Time begins to explain. This is the part of my experience that is hazy. As soon as i can question further I ask "Why are you?" Response was laughter and he states "Someone is coming i must go now" I see in complete 360 degrees. I am seeing forwards and backwards at once. I feel another human presence. I hear my name. I wake up. concious thought rushing back into my head as I hear my friend say " I guess that worked man, you were up here for about 45 minutes."
This was the most humbling experience. I believe that I have met this being before, but the time in question I experienced an ego death so intense that I lost all control of inner thought and reasoning to the point where I was unable to integrate that experience. I now believe that was my first encounter with this creator entity because as soon as he began speaking I instantly recognized that this was not the only instance in which we had met. I learned much about myself,including reasoning behind my percieved inadaquacies that only exist within my mind because of preconcived notions of 'normalcy' taught by human society in order to shelter out minds from the unknown. I believe that the most captivating part of the experience for me was the realization that the visuals were not so much distortions akin to tradition mushroom or LSD experiences, but rather visions within through my third eye that did not take place within the confines of reality. I have only had anything similar to this type of instance on very high doses of LSD. During my afterglow reflection I took away such a life-changing concept that I honestly cannot remember who I was before. I realized that I over-analyze pretty much everything to the point where I have a self-induced fear of how others react to what is occurring even though deep inside I truly do not care. I think that the stripping of my ego during this experience allowed me to really take away any built up defenses. This has allowed me to become much more personable with people because I no longer fear judgments of others, because there is no way to determine what someone else is concluding in their mind and that making decisions based on non-existent variables will only constrict my ability to gain knowledge and experiences due to limitations placed on myself for literally no actual reasons. I also learned that rumination is rarely productive and that rather than focus on causes of issues and problems I should focus on the positives in life because focusing on these causes non-stop only compounds the problem.
If you have read this far, I thank you.
