Haha yeah… I know. It’s just 32 here or something while a little south in Paris it’s 38 and fuck in southern Spain area 45.

So it could be way worse 😁

And you have big spiders too….

Thank fuck for that big thunderstorm coming around this afternoon. Im seriously considering dancing naked in the streets beneath the lightning..
Literally just got done dancing in the rain (minus the naked part 😁). Went out for a run and after ended up dancing in the rain and fed the animals some fruits. I saw other people with umbrellas but I said fuck it I'm going to get wet and like it...and I did 😂

It's very healing, deeply healing, on a mental and emotional level. I've battled depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts for a lot of my life. I've had a lot of negative thought patterns and would have difficulty containing my emotions. Since that ego death experience, all of that changed. My perspective on life shifted. Overall my life has improved. I've become more disciplined than I have ever been. I've made so many positive changes in my life that I can say I'm totally a different person since then and I'm still working on myself daily. I'm becoming the person I want to be am and meant to become.

Ego death is what most people describe as a bad trip but if you go into the experience with intention/purpose, it can be a life changing and altering experience.

Psilocybin is a very healing substance and I'm grateful to have gained a lot of insight from it.
Do you take shrooms for that or do they have it in some kind of pill or something?

I've taken shrooms a couple of times back in the day and those experiences were pretty enlightening but it never felt like a bad trip or something... weirdly scary at certain moments yes but overall pleasant.

It depends on the strain you get, how much you take, your mood, your intentions of the trip, set, setting, etc. For most people, 4 grams is considered a heroic dose.

I have taken 4gs many times but never got to trip because I was taking all kinds of psychiatric meds (psych meds caused me to not be able to trip on mushrooms).

I stopped taking all psych meds and two months after I'd taken 4gs again and nothing would happen. My friends took 4gs of the same mushrooms and they tripped hard and some had ego death. I thought there was something wrong with me because the mushrooms would have no impact on me. I told one of my friends that I can't trip on shrooms and he told me it was most likely due to the psych meds. So he suggested I try again but with 8 gs. Did 8gs and nothing. Then 10 gs. That was when the mushrooms started working on me, long after I stopped taking meds. That was when I had my ego death and that trip ended up being an enlightening experience.

There are a lot of people that report that nothing happens when they take mushrooms and I think it's because of psych meds. Anyhow, yeah there are lots of factors that go into it. Another factors is intention. I went in specifically with the intent on healing.

I am in the process of learning from a Grade 8 piano teacher and my teacher, who is much younger than me is happy to incorporate the music of Brian Crain as well into the lessons and going through the actual AMEB Australian Music Examinations Board exams for starting with Grade 1 and then moving on from there. My teacher started learning the piano at the age of 4 too. My first classes start next Sunday. She is also an AMEB Grade 4 Theory – Distinction AMEB Grade 5 Flute – Honours. It will be an intense 10 week course as well.
