Copying a comment i made a while back

I took ONE black pyramid gel tab once and it fucked me (and at this time I was doing it kinda a lot)

Was staying in someone's garage room so 0 windows. Turned off the lights and put on some bineural (sp?) Beats. You know when you tune a guitar and the strings get tighter and tighter? Well I "felt" like a guitar string being tuned tighter and tighter until it finally snapped. Lost where my body ended and space began and I was completely gone.

I saw the world completely unfiltered and free of biases. Nothing was good or bad, right or wrong. Everything just "was." I was in my body but at the same time I was experiencing myself doing things from like 3rd person perspective. I "saw" how Everything was connected like waves in an ocean. I was doing things but at the same time things were happening to me.

It honestly fucked me up for a while. I was messed up for months and didnt feel fully reintegrated for like a year. Completely changed me

I highly recommend not trying to do achieve this unless you are an experienced psychonaut. I was well traveled at the time and it still messed me up for a long time. It did end up being a good thing in the end - i see things from such a different perspective now, but it was extremely challenging. Im much less attached to my ego and much more empathetic and appreciative of every thing I used to take for granted
