A Battle Within
Over the course of the next hour, her mind spiraled into chaos. Self-hatred, anxiety, and self-doubt emerged but began to lose their grip. She reflected on the transformative nature of her experience:
- The intensity of her feelings blurred the lines of logic, pushing her to explore the depths of her being.

Tripping into the Light
Once outdoors, the effects intensified dramatically.

- Her thoughts raced, culminating in feelings of euphoria and vivid visuals.
She documented her realizations in her notebook:
- "I have found god. I have found all of the answers to suffering. The answers are inside myself. I am god."
- This perspective revealed that the inner workings of the mind held answers beyond everyday frustrations, and the essence of divinity resided within.
The Cosmic Connection
The remaining hours of her trip involved continuous movement through the external world, fueled by euphoric energy. Listening to the sounds of Shpongle and Bluetech, she felt a connection to the universe, whispering secrets to her.
Despite the fading memory of those revelations, she held onto the certainty that the knowledge she gained was an intrinsic part of her being, accessible in altered states of consciousness but always present.
