Duncan Trussell's Strange Mushroom Story

[@bobbys6945]

The 'mushroom voice' is totally legit. Terence McKenna says that it's none other than the Logos, itself; the very 'inner voice' that inspired the very first people to develop civilization.

[@letthedarkin2817]

I had my first mushroom experience last month. Never took a psychedelic before and panicked my first hour and part of my peak, I got this feeling during my panic to let go of my fear and need to control. Immediately after doing so I felt the room brighten and open up and heard a voice very clearly say, "welcome, I've been trying to get your attention for some time, let's begin." I'm still in awe of it all.

I think that the voices are just a manifestation of the disillusion of ego, and are produced by your own mind based off of your expectations of what a mind bending trip should be.

[@asparrow9876]

I don't doubt that at all but I truly believe it's much more than that. The mystery is the best part.

[@tristonw7417]

That's a fine theory until it starts saying shit you would have never come up with yourself.

[@OriginalSliz]

been experiencing something like this on high doses too a couple times. it feels like waves going through your body and i feel like something is pulling on my muscles or pinching me. also i hear those high pitched sounds like a baby crying or something ... very weird at first but i also had the feeling that those waves were somehow the spirit of the mushroom and it feels very healing like theyre giving you a deep massage for body and soul ... when this happens my eyes are watering im literally crying and my nose runs ... like something is being pushed out of my body ... fascinating feeling

If you eat the mushrooms be prepared for a show. I've had experiences in the woods that were totally wild.

I've eaten them around 50 times, I've only ever done it with other people 5 times. They can rewire you for greatness or crush you into a blithering wreck. Amazing.

[@tehrasmus3813]

4:30 I have never taken any psychedelic, but that kind of experience he's describing have I struggled a LOT with. It's frustrating as fuck and it seems to never go away...

[@TerrapinJoe91]

hey man that nervous feeling never goes away. it doesnt make you weird. our minds have been conditioned to think that bad things happen to those who eat psychedelics + we are afraid of what we might see/go to a really dark place. i am sure duncan was afraid that he took too much and that conjured up a few ugly visuals until he noticed a little light and began to focus on that instead. i am afraid myself i have never done over 3.5g or 1-tab of lsd. i guess you could say i am warming up , which you can-do too! to me the mushrooms are stronger , lsd i am alert and in control on average dose. mushrooms you have to let run their course , even on a-light dose i was able to feel the peace and love feelings even during the afterglow phase. one trip i ate a whole chocolate bar and i threw up and that scared me and set me down the wrong path all i knew was that i was not in control. i learned that throwing up is not a bad thing and also that you have to take these rides seriously and respect them . music water snd weed keeps me grooving, do what makes you comfortable during a trip. good luck.

[@zachmcclure88]

ive had a similar trip also, wasnt colorful at all though. it consisted of all green, nothing more. my friend and i were very naive when it came to mushrooms. had no prior experience and hadnt researched them extensively enough. we bought an 8th each of some really big and potent shrooms one day back when i was a freshman i highschool, we ate them in his room playing call of duty. his mom was home and after about 20 minutes we knew we were screwed. he decided that we needed to pretend that we went to bed, so his mom wouldnt catch us. all i remember during the come up was being in his pitch black room while my senses kept getting really intense and i was losing my limbs into the void, my hand would fall through my face when i would go to wipe the tears running down my face, felt like i was almost suffocating. i was sweating, rolling around, and quietly begging my friend to let me take a step outside. he kept trying to calm me down and eventually we both just gave up communicating. all i was seeing was green neon gridwork and slowly rotating cylinders with little cylinders coming off of them, very simple, yet very intense. maybe 3-4 hours into it i rolled onto my back, crossed my arms over my chest like a mummy, and focused on each and every breath. right when i did that, the mushrooms released me. i saw a face float out of my peripheral and stop into the center of my vision, it looked at me and smiled. the only way i can describe how it felt was like a mother, or mother nature. after that moment, EVERYTHING was ok. i was still seeing gnarly swirls that would completely bend things but i was let go into peace. the next morning i felt more refreshed than i ever had been and was extremely grateful to be alive. i was reluctant to eat them again but eventually did maybe half a year later. the experiences i had after that were waaaaaay more colorful and exciting. ate 5gs of them once and didnt meet any entities or hear any voices, just saw tons of color and was the highest id ever been. felt like some beautiful opening in my chest during the come up, saw a bunch of things snaking around, but never even came close to the intensity of that first trip. shrooms are unpredictable but worth it in my experience.

[@veryp.c.2220]

The most truthful trip story iv heard on tube..most people make shit up about the other beings bullshit. Its lights and waves and sounds and colors. Not gods and fuckn other worldly entitys. It the expansion on yr seances not you mind. Two very different things..to meet the others you want to put 1 gram of dmt in a pipe and smash it in 3 good hits. Good trip report and one of the only ones i have believed on here. Thanks for being real and not making up a bunch of shit..

[@mattsheezy5469]

So interesting how different people seem to encounter the same entities while tripping. I’ve seen several instances where people are using a “spirit box” to speak with the dead, and when they ask “how many spirits are here with us” you get several voices coming through “ 7....6....11...9....”. It gives the impression that our physical world is moving at super low motion, and within this other world, time doesn’t seem to exist, everything appears to be happening at super high speed.

[@BoWeava]

timothy790110, what do you mean by that? I've heard Duncan talk about some pretty trippy stuffs on Rogans podcast. Do you believe Rogan would edit Duncan's story out and claim it as his own? Just Curious ✌️

[@wildmn1095]

I think OP meant like Rogan would cut in and talk about his own trip instead of letting Duncan finish talking about his own. I don't think that's true though, I feel like he lets the guests finish their stories and then responds with an anecdote or commentary of his own

[@psycold]

I'm almost 35 now but when we were teenagers, a bunch of us ate some shrooms at a friends house and our friend Richard just vanished. We ended up going outside and looking for him while all of us were high as fuck. We stumbled through the park at night, whispering his name and found nothing. We returned home about 2 hours later to find he had simply gone to sleep in one of the other rooms and none of us noticed. Later when he sobered up we talked to him and he said that he kept hearing a voice telling him to kill all of us. We were glad he decided to lay down. Personally I've never had any violent thoughts on hallucinogens, just bad trips that made me puke.

[@alulim7]

the little entities within him are the members that make up his body. he already knows that their mimicking him as he prays is the projection of his own doubts. the old man gnome who is at the foot of the forest is the projection of his idea of God in two respects. for one. he considers the religious idea of God to be a small idea. hence the size of the gnome. he assumes its just something people put on the outside of their metaphysical house as a decoration. and, in some cases, he's right. the other aspect of the gnome is the character he projects onto the gnome. He assumes that if in the event God does exist, he would be pretty "annoyed" that his creation would consider him some small insignificant lawn watching trinket. the last thing he feels is the love from Gaia, Mother Earth, or the wife of God. she gave him this experience, telling him he's a child of God and that the ideas he thinks that he has for his Father or himself don't at this point matter because, His Father and Mother love him dearly.

[@KingsExecutor]

+Al El How do you know it is about projections and not that you see what is actually there as the shamans would say.

[@alulim7]

+KingsExecutor reality as the human mind can articulate it, is but a projection, if I'm not mistaken. all see relative to their own conscious capacity. whilst true objective reality is, I hope, what awaits us all when we awaken. so, to say what he saw was a projection in no way demeans the fact that what he saw was real. however, I do believe the gnome was but a manifestation of his own mind. and not a real indication of the character of God. as I believe He isn't annoyed as the gnome suggested... if in fact the gnome was a symbol of such a deity.

[@KingsExecutor]

but many people see gnomes and there are anthropology experts in germany that claim that you can meditate by a tree and get into the gnome world, which they don't like. They like to remain hidden from us. that's why it made sense to me that the gnome didn't like the fact that it was seen by him.

[@alulim7]

Well, I know nothing of mushroom taking or gnomes or anthropology experts. Just thought I'd try my skill at dream interpretation.

[@alulim7]

+Al El as I've said, we all see to the degree of our own conscious comprehension.

[@Fungi7110]

Very similar to my 6 gram shroom trips

[@CantankerousDruid]

I definitely have felt like I didn't recognize voices and people. Like my brother, couldn't tell what he was or why I could recognize his voice. Maybe the voice is if you go so deep that you don't recognize your own internal voice. So it sounds like a stranger

[@shaunpearson7905]

Ari asks him, "What do you mean you went off the deep end?". Oh, I don't know Ari I think hearing voices in your head and seeing shitty old gnomes in the bushes speaks for itself.

[@steghuman9063]

A typical reluctance of letting ego dissolve into the pure experience, high dose 6 dry grams will show you what pure experience is. Keeping it concise, reality is not what most people think it is, these fruiting bodies are beyond ancient and if you give in totally and with intention of appreciation they show you what "now" actually is, it is a division of everything and the vibration about the inner symmetry is intense similar to what one may call memory and anticipation, opposing change about an omnipresent inner linear divide driven by heat exchange to the absence of heat void that is our pretend idea of future. There is pure bliss mid experience where a connection to the universe is had, understanding that the universe is changing itself for the universe cannot be still lest it becomes the nothing of future past and the constant is a split. What we call consciousness betwixt any differential dividing all vibration the unchanging center that the wave expands from and collapses back toward it allows for us to observe change by being the linear division, that all matter must change about the symmetrical inner to "show" the outer . See the humble "magnet" and know it true the divide between N and S poles is no trick. For now is all that truly is , truth most true.

[@vinny5638]

I feel like you thought that was all very enlightening, but what the fuck does this even mean? " opposing change about an omnipresent inner linear divide driven by heat exchange to the absence of heat void that is our pretend idea of future." You sound permafried my man, no offense.

[@steghuman9063]

Vinny Not permafried , yet,,, it means this (your own consciousness is akin to a divide or symmetry split) everything is processed like opposed counterparts from your inner "core" as choices to action , opposites, contradictions dichotomies about this inner divide that is your consciousness singularity, not your mind-brain or thoughts but what the body is doing to keep your consciousness this "one ' unchanging thing against a universe of potentially infinite change happening in "one" persisting instant of change. If consciousness changed wildly like the external environment it would not be able to discern any change at all. As time is only the constant change that is happening betwixt illusions of past and future. As for the heat thing ,,,,WELL that's a work in progress, sounds very flakey at the moment.. Here's a dumbass poem to highlight. The heat contained by gravities cold surround surpass imagined scale. Oscillating the present exchange betwixt the absolute counterparts. Feel the warmth about your symmetry fed by a trillion suns. A universe inside every cell a temporary legion you may try to know well. Your memories reassuring illusion pales into insignificance fighting this impossible battle against unstoppable change.

[@Heyoka86]

Neimonster A very accurate representation of what they look like, only a little too cartoonish. I've seen one of these tykes, and he appeared as a joker, offering something to me, but I was too freaked out to try and interact with him.

[@KingsExecutor]

+Heyoka Are you guys kidding me. That's what's inside me when I'm on shrooms? On what dose do you notice them? I'vehad 1,9g of cubensis until now

[@Heyoka86]

+KingsExecutor There is no level cap. You can try as many grams as you dare. You can't overdose on shrooms. Physical death is not a danger, but there are indeed huge psychological dangers, as you can get PTSD from an experience that was too intense, too unexplainable, too frightening. 1.9 dried grams isn't that much. Terence McKenna alluded to 5+ dried grams as being an optimum dose for a mystical experience. I've heard of people taking 20+ grams of dried shrooms, at which point not even 50 mgs of smoked DMT can compare to the 'weirdness' of the experience. Yes, Tykes are a common type of entity encountered by the few people who dare to venture that far. Also, jesters (which I encountered), banshees, wraiths, insectoids, reptillians, and other indescribable entities that seem hyperdimensional and no one on Earth seems to be apt to explain them.

[@KingsExecutor]

so what is the lowest dose to 'see' something? and what dose is the minimum dose for the voice? do you think the mushroom is one entity that let's you have contact with other entities?

[@KingsExecutor]

Heyoka I know everything u need about mushrooms, but not much about its possibilities, what it can show you...what it can do for/to you. i just made the experience that it can make you an "experienced child" and i had the party of my life on my own and i felt this nice energy aroung my shoulders for hours and I sang and listened to music. I saw this morphing fluctuating tree bark like optics on the wall...and on the song nothing else matters (symphony) by metallica, it just grew into the room and it tickled my mind...it was just like a great tree-spirit and a cosmic song experience. the song's message is quite spiritual and seems to be in aignment with the mushroom message to me. what do you think, what are mushrooms there for? to remind us that we are actually children and we should act like that? in order not to hurt the inner child?

Dmt is only thing I tripped harder from. I've eaten a lot of mushrooms n never actually hallucinated...3 hits of paper acid put me on my ass as a kid once tho.
