for me, five days away from my first trip, the calm is gone, but i have found there's a specific signature to it, and when i recall it, it comes back.
i was just reflecting how life after spice has changed my priorities. i have a huge library collected over 35 years of exploration into all sorts of far out subjects. when i tried mushrooms, much of that exploration was profoundly reframed to be much more personal "knowing" (as opposed to material read, internalized and partially retained)
now, after spice, another big jump up in reframing has taken place. i dont see very much of anything, from the mundane to the aesthetic and esoteric, as i did before.
i dont think this will leave. and i want to jump again and again.
