At this point, I am more into learning about myself, others and human nature instead of flying around the cosmos, maybe that's why the magic mushrooms on my dresser hold no interest for me right now.
In my family some members experience having visions of the future, whereas I have other extrasensory gifts, but it just cements my belief that time is not what we have been led to believe it is or how it should be.
I think the clinical trials with DMT are showing great promise as a treatment for some mental illnesses and I hope it will benefit humanity, but it does not help with some of the other major mental illnesses but LSD looks more promising.
Yeah, I also tried speed once and your bathtub acid sounds more like a weak speed trip. With speed coming down is a hard sad ride back. Did you come down hard?
I don't recall whether coming down was rough or not, but I seem to remember sleeping for about 18 hours straight afterwards.
"Extrasensory gifts" are probably "super-sensory" rather than "extrasensory". They are likely an ability to tap into whatever lies beyond the veil more readily than other folks, and when one can do that, whether consciously or unconsciously, it would open avenues to information gathered elsewhere, and stored in the nothingness for retrieval by anyone able to do it. They likely would not know, or understand, where that information came from or how they got it, so to them, it would just be magically "there", and so appear "supernatural".
I think it was Asimov who said "any sufficiently advanced technology would appear as magic".
