After my husband died in 1996 of Melanoma, I decided to seek to live a more
authentic life.
In 1999 I did shrooms five times. My plan was to trip 9 (magical number)
times, but my ego popped up and I stopped after my fifth trip. I had never
done anything stronger than smoke a little marihuana in the 70s. For all
but the first time, I took them by myself. I took them because of ZMM, and
other books, that suggested that people have been forever using drugs to
seek a truer "truth". I started each session listening to a taped
meditation that moves through the chakras.
My truer "truth" was to experience myself connected to everything through
the beating of my heart (5th chakra). It was a very beautiful
experience. Generally, the experiences were not as wild as I had expected.
What I meant by "my ego popped up" was that I later heard myself telling a
younger friend that it was okay for me to do mushrooms because I was doing
them for the "right" reason, while he was doing drugs for fun. (I can be
such a pompous idiot! ) I tossed the last four portions down the toilette.
That was my experience. Now I'm perfectly happy tripping through a
computer experiment in a Fantastic Philosophy or reading the wonderful
chatter on the MOQ website. And of course, painting.
