Early last year, my gf broke up with me, months later my grandfather who I was really close with passed away, felt into a deep sadness I never felt before. Later that summer, I lifted myself up to travel to Oaxaca to take psilocybin mushrooms at Maria Sabina’s house. Her grandson is really generous and kind. He gave me handful of a variety mushrooms, not dried and took them in complete darkness in a shed during a rainstorm. I meditated, I thought of everyone I lost. I began to cry immensely, it was the hardest I’ve cried. About an hour in I felt like something, someone was chiseling away all the hard negativity, junk in my head. Felt like a construction site/ sculpting in my head it was interesting. I went from being sad to being grounded and myself again. I was ready to go lay down. Maria Sabina’s grandson had let me borrow his raincoat and went out to the rain to make my way back to my room, it was difficult to see but there was a dog outside the door almost as if it was there to guide me back to me room safely. I will never forget that experience. It was the most profound experience I ever had.

Man dude I'm here stoned from my last roach an I really imagined your story that sounds very bitter sweet God bless you man

[@lukasvilla2657]

When he talked about ayahuasca visions - "It's occurred to me over the years that what we call imagination might simply be hyper dimensional perception and your actually seeing worlds and places that truly exist somewhere scattered through the galaxies like grains of sand.". That statement blew my mind

[@SuperGGLOL]

whats a 'hyper' dimension?

[@silverdragon710]

That's not only probable but totally true. I had several experiences where what I imagined turned out to be real, like historically real, without me having any previous knowledge of it, and like quite specifically not just along those lines, and all I did was imagine it for the pleasure of the idea. So hearing him say this is another level of blowing my mind for me because I thought so as well for a while. And I never even tried any drugs.

[@silverdragon710]

The Lizard Trip is my favorite story of his. It's almost like he discovered/was transported to a rare dimension

It’s even more interesting as I’ve had friends describe eerily similar experiences to that of Terrence McKennas. It’s also interesting that Terrence was NEVER able to get there again, cuz either were my friends. You only get to go there once in your life, if ya lucky, by the sounds of it.

I was taken to a world/dimension close to ours that was populated by lizard people. They lived in hive-like pod structures stacked vertically for ages. They were connected to us and dependent on our energy to fuel them. What I got was that their world would not exist without human fuel. I should have been scared but I was so sorry for their lifeless existences... no love or enjoyment, just a conquering need to fill endlessness. While I was there, I was one of these beings. That is the part that scared me. Was I/am I actually there while I am here, and is some of the suffering of my life the transforming or shedding of this consciousness?

I just recently discovered this human being this year and I'm almost 42 years of age. It's very difficult for me to place any kind of description on this man. He's absolutely one of a kind.his accounts of his personal experiences in these vast realms of space and time body and mind and beyond are just so provoking in so many ways. It's all good though. I believe that he's something of a conductor of extreme verbal expression of that with can't be expressed. Definitely a master of the English language. His unique style of presentation of the English language has totally reinforced my understanding of the power of words and their ability to manipulate perspectives in individuals to varying degrees and intensity depending on the level of discernment in the listener.

[@grizcuz]

Late 90's, high summer, last couple of hours of sunlight, so probably around 8:30pm when I leave home. I'm looking after my sister's Yorkshire terrier whilst she's out of the country. Take the dog on her last walk of the day. My usual dog walking routine on some footpaths in a quiet rural valley. A circular route that takes about 40 minutes. In the valley bottom, I often let the dog off her lead for her to run around a bit. No people around. Lose sight of the dog for a few seconds. Then nothing, no noises of her running through the waist high grass next to a river. Worried that she's caught sight of a rabbit or found a rabbit hole, or gone into the river, although it's only shallow. I walk into this field to try and find her. Don't call her so it remains quiet and I can attempt to detect her movements or sounds. Half way across this field I come across something/someone that I can still vividly picture in my mind's eye, but can't explain. I'm six feet tall and 'he' was only probably around 18 inches to 2 feet tall max. Huge dark blue eyes, pale skin, dark black loosely curly hair, button nose, thin lips but a wide mouth. He was wearing a dark grey or black boilersuit or overall type of thing, so one piece with fastenings up the front. He was between 20 to 35 years old (if comparing him to a human being), definitely not a child, his features were small but fully grown and mature, if that makes sense. I just stood there with my mouth wide open. He looked straight up at me and I felt something like pure terror. My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest, my intestines felt like they were going to fall out of my trousers and for the only time in my life I was literally frozen to the spot. The look on his face was saying that I'd inconvenienced him, rather than he was going to do me some harm given the chance though, but he certainly wasn't afraid of me. Probably only stood staring at each other for 30 seconds (hard to say, felt like an eternity because fear obviously changes our perception of time). He walked slowly backwards away from me into the long grass further into the field, whilst not dropping his gaze for a second whilst I could still see him (I could hear him moving away from me for probably a further 15 to 20 seconds whilst I stood there terrified). Then nothing, no further sight of him, no noises or anything at all. The dog was waiting on the footpath a few yards back behind where I'd come from, although she wasn't showing any behaviour that made me think she was at all sacred. I put her lead back on and walked back home. Got into the house, poured myself a large stiff drink and wept uncontrollably for a good ten minutes. Never told another soul about it in person. I still get the shivers thinking about it now. I don't even know how to classify what I saw? Mythical creature from this planet, like an elf? Or something from another world or dimension? The only thing I know for certain is whatever it was, it was 100% alive and in that field at the same time as me. I'm no good at art/sketching so I can't even make a drawing. No missing time or finding myself somewhere and I can't explain how I got there (sometimes have nightmares about him though, but I put that down to the amount of fear he somehow managed to induce in me). No other things have happened in my life of a similar nature that I can't explain. I haven't really researched it as I don't really know how to classify it? Apart from fucking weird!

It makes me feel like, maybe, this gibberish in my head that nobody seems to be able to understand or relate to (myself included) is somehow meant to be there, and at some point its gonna come out. Almost everyday, I see the things he and others have spoken about for years made manifest before our eyes, a little at a time. It tells me that things are gonna get better. At least a little.

[@steffthesensitive4697]

Even tho it’s insane everything that had happened the last 10 years I’ve always been able to use Terence as guide because you’re right, his social commentary and his ideas and descriptions of the future feel so present and correct and say things no one is saying.

I believe you. I feel you my friend. Right now in my heart. I see things as you see them. Sending you lots of love.

[@YodaFlakes]

I know the feeling. I started listening to these recordings of Terrance in college specifically because they seemed to speak to an experience I was having regularly, but couldn't talk to anyone about. I had always assumed I was crazy, but now 10+ years later I realize his visions of a weird but sentient and living world are more true than anything people living in baseline material reductionist reality will tell you. For me it's really passed the sniff test of "does this hold up in the real world" especially when it comes to ecology and the proper treatment of the Earth. That's cause for real hope!

It makes me wonder if psychedelics sometimes allow users to access usually sub conscious parts of the mind/brain. The areas where unconscious computations normally occur. And these laboratories and entities working within them are our concious minds forming a metaphor of what it is we're seeing. DMT users often report entities that can create geometrical objects with sound/speech. Similarly, I wonder if this is a physical representation of our mind/brain's language areas. I think it's been shown that psychedelics trigger parts of the brain in ways we don't see in 'normal' everyday brain states. Our trip/visions/hallucinations could be our conscious, rational mind attempting to make sense of these unusual connections?

At 53:13 is how the inner eye looks like when your looking through it. It's so weird but True and everything will come to you as needed if your trying to grow spiritually and become less material and materialistic.! It's like seeing with your 2 eye's but on the inside and going in. You will see things like a Movie,, past, present and future.. How far is how far you are willing to go, and it doesn't always come on Easy.. I'm serious when I say that you will find it absolutely brilliant and yet comedic at the same time. It starts off looking just like that image at 53:13... This also goes to show how that force that he's talking about works and how it connects all of us and a higher consciousness overall. This startes to happen to me and now I'm seeing This. Right when I seen this I had to edit my comment Because it's so clear and familiar.. The inner Eye is a key to the narrow gate of the mind which is the seat of the soul. We think that we are humans trying to Experience the Spiritual,, but really were the Spiritual Experiencing the physical Manifestation that we have brought on through pure consciousness!! Through the 3rd eye is like a birth canal to the spiritual body and vice versa. Balance is key, and also the balance between total sleep and total consciousness.. One foot in and one foot out. Half way in the matrix and half way out. Inside time and outside of time,,,AT THE SAME TIME AND YET NOT....You see,, right as I just typed that last part,, the T.V said that is a step in the right direction! I'm trying to explain and give something that is impossible to receive or accept. If nothing else please absorb this that I have coined in my own Saying. {A COINSIDENCE IS ONLY A COINSIDENCE IF THAT IS ALL YOU ALLOW IT TO BE}.. Now on with the original comment that I had to edit.. .Everything in this world is trying to tell you something. Even a clock going round and round with a connecting dot in the middle. Imagine the middle is the 3rd Eye,, and it's saying time is running out in the physical realm to make it to the spiritual realm. The universe, THE ONE VERSE OF GOD. Consciousness! When you come to the realization that the answer has been in your mind the whole Time you will laugh uncontrollably. Everything in this world is trying to point the way out of the Matrix. I won't go deeper for now,,but Anyone who wants to talk message me. Much love to you all.!!

I was laying in bed listening to this particular compilation of Mckennas Orations, and then he started talking about Dennis’ “good shit manifestation theory”. As soon as Terrence started talking about when the “good shit” had manifested in front of him when he was in a hut in the middle of a rainstorm, a calm day for me suddenly burst out in a quick emotional storm then calmed when the video was finished. Hmmmph, the weird edges are quite weird.

What is more profound: (a) that we can literally travel between dimensions; or (b) that our minds are so beautiful that they are able to render these images and experiences all by themselves. I think it's (b).

[@ethanjohnson3642]

Mind is dimension

[@thepuppethead1188]

Terry's idea of dimensions within the mind is both of those,sure your mind renders all these things and experiences by itself but then boom you have a dimension within your mind. A real dimension. Of mind. Like the twilight zone,except the remarkable thing about psychedelic drugs is that multiple people can experience the same vivid mind dimensions as other people,but it'll be constructed with all of their mind's stuff.

I went to a rave with a few friends about 20 years ago. I took 4 hits of Pac Man blotter acid within an hour of arriving at rave. Around the time the acid was taking hold, we ran into an old random acquaintance who we actually had hung out with once or twice before. He had us accompany him to a booth in the lobby of the laser tag arena where the rave was held. The 4 of us sat down, and our random repeat acquaintance pulled out a big pouch of ketamine, and we proceeded to blow through a gram or two in the hour or so we sat there. I walked into the arena where the DJ and dancefloor was, and when I walked through the breezeway from the lobby into the arena/dancefloor, I suddenly had a second person vision perspective, as if I were walking about 10-15 feet behind me, staring at my own back, watching from behind as I navigated around a few sets of people camping on the floor at the base of the nearest wall. I accidentally stepped on one of the first people I passed, and I watched myself from behind as I stepped on him, and simultaneously felt his leg under my foot, and I remember looking down at him and saying I'm sorry. I remember looking down into his startled face and telling him I'm sorry, but I was still watching myself from behind as I turned my head, looked down, and apologized. After bouncing around the floor for a few songs, my out of body perspective faded as my soul reunited with my body. I walked back into the lobby, and not more than a minute after entering the lobby /chill out room, I looked up and surveyed the lobby. As I was watching the two rows of people walking along the far wall, I suddenly got a sinking feeling in my gut and I watched as every one of the approximately 100-150 people in the lobby incrementally slow down until time seemingly grinded to an absolute stop before it started moving again, but it started moving in reverse. The people walking along the parallel wall I was focused on started to rewind, initially in super slow motion and increasing to actual speed, walking and moving about backwards. I suddenly felt like I was about to die. I panicked and spotted a girl within arms length who (curiously enough) still seemed to be paused at a stand still along with the rest of my fellow pedestrians along our side of the room, the people along the far wall still flowing in reverse at 100% speed making it back to the spot I first saw them walking away from when I entered the lobby. I suddenly got desert mouth thirsty, and I thought to myself " Oh shit, I AM going to die! ). I looked around and saw that girl within arms reach as the other people along my wall began to start moving in the right direction forward. Panicked from my severe thirst and the physics defying events I was experiencing, I reached out my hand to that same girl and snagged the fresh, cold bottle of water out of her clutches and chugged down over half of it. I promptly snapped out of it and that poor lady and her friend staring at me in disbelief and shock . I apologized, told her I thought I was dying, gave her cash for two waters LOL

[@lizzieball3795]

Incredible! Wow! I had an entire week of complete supernatural strangeness, only I was just under the influence of my regular prescribed meds; Adderall and narcotic pain medication at the doses I have been taking for years , not tripping or high whatsoever. One night I walked outside at midnight for no reason whatsoever, and started filming the moon with halo. I went inside and screenshot the moon from the video playback. Then I zoomed screenshot to max. Then took screenshot of that screenshot, pulled it up in the gallery,and zoomed it to max again. Repeated until noon was size of a out 50% of screen. Adjusted sharpness and contrast. Got images of three humanoid rats with black velvet hoods sitting around a round table...the moon served as the round tabletop. Got image of biomachinery which interconnected railroad style (liquid type metallic, mylar appearance). One of these interconnected segments was a hybrid machine component and Donald trump in a reclining position eyes closed face relaxed as if asleep. In front of the moon and covering the entire sky,got image of mesh net lace which had a repeating pixel art pattern. The pixel art images were of various humanoid animals. Canine humanoid,feline humanoid,reptile humanoid,rodent humanoid The pixel art style of these images were similar to the dinosaur pixel art picture that comes up when you google something and your computer or phone is offline/loses internet connection, the error page that comes up on google says "Oops! ..something went wrong....check ur connection,etc . And it has a pixel art depiction of a dinosaur. That's what the repeating patterns of humanoid animals look like on the mesh net covering the sky. The mesh net appears to have multilayers . There's an REM album cover from the 1970's, it's a drawing of the moon and it shows the moon behind a mesh net. It's similar to the pictures I got.

I feel the experience we have while on mushrooms is actually the mushroom experiencing us. As its apart of its life cycle to get for a short period gets to experience the world through our bodys or other animals who so happen to eat it. Kind of like the video game the last of us, or the zombie ants that become under control of the fungus.

[@Shortsecretpass]

That first part about the text forming into unreadable illuminated inverted letters, reminds me of my own first hallucination. It was actually in the "afterglow" phase of my trip. I had tripped the day before with some friends in the woods(great experience btw we were one with the trees so to speak) but i had work early the next day. At least 18hrs had passed since i dropped it so i figured id be ok for work in the morning, which was at a pet retail store. I figured it was probably no real threat if i was still slightly trippin anyway. At work that day we were putting up new sale signs and taking down old ones, nothing to big brainy, but for some reason i felt stumped all of a sudden while putting up a new sale sign for our fish tanks. Everything seemed to get very quiet and my attention was suddenly pulled into the direction of a sale sign next to me that was slowly becoming pixelated. It was as if the sign had turned into a neon grid with green matrix like numbers flowing through it. I couldnt help but stare and stare and stare, not too sure how long i stood there for honestly. It wasnt until a coworker of mine saw me froze and joked about the sale price being so good that i should invest in a fish tank. Suddenly i was pulled out of this trance like state and back into the world of a normal paper looking sale sign. That was 8 years ago and i still dont know what or why that happened to me. If you read this far and have any idea or had a similar experience please comment and let me know im not alone

Hi, couple months ago I was meditating in a forest covered with moss and after I focused and gazed at one little point/spot on the tree for 2-3 minutes I suddenly saw the whole forest as green numbers from Matrix, everything connected. very trippy, I was amazed. After I moved my eyes I couldn't see it that way but after I repeated I saw it again. this happens to me a lot lately when I stare at something for some time and let my eyes zoom and focus and unfocus. everything kinda of connects and becomes a network.
