3. Timeline of the Experience

Initial Consumption

At 18:45, the user ingested 1 tab of a substance. Approximately 30 minutes later, at 19:15, they took a second tab, continuing to wait for the effects to begin while browsing the internet in their kitchen. The user, feeling a curiosity to experience a stronger dose, decided to take a third dose. Around an hour after the second tab, they consumed 3 more tabs, bringing the total to 5 tabs.

The First Visual Effects

As the user awaited the onset of effects, they put on noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones and began listening to music, specifically a playlist of Skeggs songs. After about 45 minutes of consuming the first few tabs, the first noticeable visual effects began. These were similar to experiences the user had had in the past, but intensified this time.

4. Sensory Alterations

Visual and Auditory Changes

The user's visual acuity seemed to be enhanced. They observed an unusual clarity in objects around them, particularly a fork on the kitchen worktop. Depth perception was enhanced but also distorted, with the fork's tines warping as they were observed. The user moved to the bathroom, where they noticed geometric patterns appearing on the floor. These patterns resembled hexagonal tiling, though they were soft and dark in appearance at this stage.

As the intensity of the visual alterations grew, colors became more vivid, and objects in the room began to morph and melt, with textures and patterns flowing continuously. The wood-effect laminate flooring and the tiles on the wall transformed in a fluid manner.

The user also experienced auditory changes, where familiar songs seemed novel. The music felt like a concept itself, looping and shifting in ways that made it more immersive. Despite the music’s repetitiveness, the user felt fully immersed, as though they were experiencing the song non-linearly.

Perception of Time and Reality

Time perception was dramatically altered, and the user experienced gaps in memory, unsure of how much time had passed. They felt as though they had spent hours bouncing a rubber ball off the floor, though it was likely only a short period.

5. Emotional and Cognitive Shifts

Anxiety Relief and Euphoric Laughter

At a certain point during the experience, the user realized that their anxiety had subsided entirely. This marked a significant relief, as anxiety had been a long-term struggle for them. This feeling of freedom triggered a sense of deep calm, with feelings of happiness and contentment.

The user then found themselves laughing hysterically at nothing in particular, with a deep sense of genuine, uncontrollable joy that seemed to arise spontaneously.

Muscular Relaxation and Tactile Sensations

The physical sensations became more enjoyable as well. The user experienced a pleasant tingling sensation throughout their body, accompanied by a warm, comforting feeling. Their muscles felt relaxed, and stretching them became an enjoyable activity.

6. The Peak Experience

Ego Death and Philosophical Realizations

As the intensity of the trip reached its peak, the user began to experience what they perceived as a form of ego death. This state of mind allowed them to feel more connected to the universe, with a sense of oneness that extended beyond their individual existence.

The user had profound realizations about the nature of existence and the universe. They recognized that the universe is a balance of opposing concepts—pleasure cannot exist without pain, life cannot exist without death, and so on. This understanding of duality led to the realization that they could not truly die, as they were always a part of a greater whole.

Oneness with the Universe

The user felt an overwhelming sense that they were not just a single individual, but one with everything. They felt a connection to all people, all places, all things, and even to everywhen—the concept of time itself was fluid. They felt as though they could experience infinite dimensions simultaneously.

This realization led to an awareness that they were not just a single human being, but also an intrinsic part of the larger fabric of the universe. They experienced a deep connection to platonic reality, as well as a comprehensive understanding of waves and particles.

The Concept of Duality and Infinity

The user contemplated the idea that the laws of physics must emerge from nothing. They reflected on the concept of shifting frames of reference, both in space and time, as well as the idea that one’s ego is simply a frame of reference. By changing this frame, one could experience different identities and even different directions of time.

7. Reflections and Conclusion

The experience provided the user with profound insights into both their personal psyche and the nature of existence. The trip allowed them to let go of anxiety and experience deep joy and connection to the universe. While many aspects of the experience remain hazy, the philosophical revelations regarding duality, ego, and the interconnectedness of all things are vividly remembered.

The journey through this psychedelic experience stands as an exploration of the self, providing a temporary escape from anxiety and a doorway to larger existential truths. Though not fully understood in all their complexity, the insights gained from the experience offer a unique perspective on life, reality, and the infinite.
