christy, this sounds amazing. I haven't had quite the outta body experience that you've described, but there have been two ocassions where it was more than my being inside my head...hah that sounds crazy, but the experience is what was really nuts.

First time, I was smoking salvia, thinking i'd just get a lil buzz before a dog walk...I had forgotten all about the reverse tolerance effect, and well...within a minute of putting the bowl down I basically had forgotten that I smoked it. I began feeling my body like...seperate...like...a million little pieces coming apart. I looked down at my dog and all of a sudden, a voice in my head began repeating...we are all a part of it. You can't get away...over and over. I of course had a panic attack because this was all very unexpected. I had never auditory hallucinated, so It was quite beyond anything I've ever experienced. Within five minutes though, I came down. But I'll never forget. And to this day I have stayed away from salvia...haha mostly because I just never enjoyed the body buzz. But regardless, I remember trying to stop it, and of course you can't...you gotta ride it out, but during this time anything I had taught myself went out the window and anxiety kicked in. I basically think it meant what you say...we are all part of the same being, the same web that ties us all together. We can't get away, because we are all a part of one another.

Another instance I was boomin', and chilling on this bench. I began to think of my childhood, and my earliest memory was of me sitting in my aunt's study, looking at the white curtains. And then this thought took over, where I kept reapeating, it begins and ends with white. Now I'm not sure where this came from, but I definitely heard it and couldn't get it out of my mind. Perhaps it meant we are born pure and we die pure. But honestly, I don't know. Maybe you or anybody here can come up with some suggestions? I mean it's funny because it was what I was thinking in my head...but sometimes I feel like tripping will open your mind to different thoughts...who knows...maybe someone - something - wanted to communicate a meaningful message.

Each time I have an experience I feel myself connecting more and more to the world around me... Whereas before I was a separate entity, all locked up inside my body/mind, I can tangibly feel and visualize that there is no separation unless I believe there is. I've learned to trust and embrace my emotions as they come and go but at the same time not let them overpower me.... I can honestly say that I've had one experience where, completely sober, I saw the same beauty I saw through the lens of substances and it was a life-changer. Without my previous psychedelic experiences it would have been an every-day kind of thing, but I found myself alone on a beach watching a sunrise with tears streaming down my face because I finally realized that I was as much a part of it as the ocean.

Love the part about the beach, that had to be absolutely incredible. I wish people would realize the reason we take these things, it isn't to get all messed up, it's to have an experience that can be truly life changing :)

i know exactly what you're saying. one night i was walking completely sober through the woods and i saw people everywhere, in everything, in every single bush and plant. all different kinds of people. blacks, whites, babies, old people. i felt as if i was seeing ghosts. people report seeing faces in things all the time but never as sober as i was. i acutally gasped a couple of times from being so shocked. i was with people that told me im crazy. but after that i've felt more connected to nature, even more than normal. that theres souls everywhere, in everything.

I've seen people while I was sober too, but always only one at a time.  For me, these people are shadows and I rarely see them "in" anything other than the air.  In my most spiritual trip I saw a ton of these people all night and I couldn't even tell which people were tangible and which were entities.  My boyfriend explained it that it is because I am connected to the moon.  He said that he used to be connected to it, and when he was he saw people like that too.  I can't say if he's right or not, but it is an interesting insight.  But almost always when I see people like that it's rather comforting, because i feel like they are watching over me, yet never interfering with my life.

This is a loaded question!

 

I'm going to try and keep it simple. The first time I went to a festival was the first time I experienced anything psychedelic and let me just say, it literally changed my life. I began making so many connections about the world and I literally felt like I had a revelation. That everything we though we knew was completely wrong and that this world is something truly amazing, we are lucky to have been given a chance to experience it. I have since that day never been the same. I lost all care for material things, other people's opinions about me and my lifestyle choices, and started realizing just how bad things have come to in our country. It made me a new, better me, and I have never been happier or more at peace. And I also love the way I can interact with others while having an "experience". We literally understand each other on a totally different level and barely have to say a word, its so amazing :)

 

Although I will throw in there that I am still struggling with finding myself and letting go of that egoic part of my mind. It will come with time <3
