Test Flight - 8:15pm Departure on LemonTEK Airways

I have not consumed any mushrooms since the mid 1980's and those were hit and miss cow patty shrooms. There is not a lot that I can recall from multiple experiences during that time and certainly there were not any life changing nuggets of wisdom brought back or imparted upon me. They were simply attempts to escape the doldrums of teen life and not be "here". 

I used the Lemon TEK to prepare 2 grams of Golden Teachers. I picked this dose as I wanted a "test flight" after being out of this particular psychedelic saddle for a long while.

Apparently DMT has affected my ability to be patient with the psychedelic experience. It seemed like it took an hour to blast off, but I only checked the clock once wanting to avoid external influences. It took enough time for them to kick in that I said to myself, "Fuck these are duds!". I had my trippy lights going and everything, music via my headphones and eye shades ready waiting. 

I gradually started noticing that the colors in my swirling lights seemed more vivid but could not determine if this was wishful thinking. I was having trouble determining if some of the colors were even available in the light itself. After some ciphering . . . yes, those colors were there but now in more vivid "psychedelic" editions. There was a brief and very moderate section of GI distress. Absolutely nothing happened. After this was when I started tripping and I can just say there was no doubt that I had taken mushrooms and that they were working. 

Closed eye visuals were a major part of the journey. The thing being is that I was having DMT type visuals without the color or activity intensity. I did not expect this, but it was a flood of what could be interpreted as vintage line drawings of eyes and portions faces with varying degrees of "decoration and ornamentation". Some eyes had feathers around them, others line drawing depictions of solar rays. So, I could have these visions anytime I closed my eyes. "Out of darkness came light" was a mantra that came into focus as a lot of the visuals were white light/lines of varying intensity on a black field of vision. 

I did during one period have an intense desire for the trip to be over. This was as I was experiencing a slight ego dissolution. The thing that made me know this was occurring is something that has happened before. I am not out far enough to just punch though to oblivion but at the border and your ego/mind has a slender connection to the default mode network. So, I remembered my kids, but I could not visualize them in my mind. That is when I wanted it to be over. But there was still some connection to "reality", and I knew that I was not headed back to Kansas anytime soon. After this I got elated, giggly and euphoric. A result of surrendering to the experience. That lasted for a while and then very quickly I came back up, into and logged back onto the default network mode. 

An 8:15pm departure and a smooth landing around 11:00pm. No great spiritual lessons or insights garnered but this was just test flight. I can say I am pleased as I started with microscopic spores and ended up a couple of months later with a psychedelic experience.
