Since my last freebasing attempt that went
strongly awry, I had been afraid of hyperspace. I didn't want to go back in, there was terror where only mild pre-flight anxiety had been before. Those crushing recursive loops of time and space haunted me, even thinking about it for too long seemed to induce the terror - as if I were afraid it would spontaneously coagulate from the mere thought. But something about it intrigued me. I wanted to know
what had gone wrong and where had I been? What was this thing that descended upon me that night? I had to know.
I thought about it for a few days, and eventually my fear gave way to my curiosity. I decided pharma would be the way to go, as The Flash is hard to pull anything out of, how sudden and complete the transformation of mind. If things were ony
slowed down a bit, drawn out so that I can get a good look at them, I would perhaps be able to work through what had gone wrong. I took 131 milligrams - quite a high dose for my 140 pound frame.
Night one:
It hit me like a ton of bricks or a freight train. The trajectory was so steep it took me off my guard. Quickly, I developed
strong tracers, which I know only happen to me on high doses of medicine. This was within the first half-hour of the experience. The cinderblock walls began fractalising in chartreuse and violet, forming snaky wave-forms all moving somewhat randomly at high speed. Heroes was on the tube, everyone's latest obsession around here, and I began noticing that my trip was infiltrating the show. I had the peculiar feeling that
the characters were on pharma! Geometric forms were coming together in the actors faces and in their hair, everything they did seemed to relate to what was happening with me. A particular character developed a very strange power, which I wont go into, but what ensued seemed a perfect replication of a DMT experience, at the end of which one of them exclaimed "It's like an explosion in my head!" which I thought was apt. This was absolutely bizarre, so I was closing my eyes to see a high-speed fabric of liquid jewels flittering as if it were a flag in the wind. I looked at the cinderblock - the fractals began to syncronize, the whole wall becoming a single frame of ever-brighter fractals, so bright that they began to envelop me which alarmed me greatly. I tried ignoring it, closing my eyes - but it was behind my eyelids. My mind began racing, how could I stop this? My thoughts were exlpoding, a thousand reverberating voices saying to me in a derisive and commanding way "THIS ISN'T ANYTHING YOU COULDN'T HANDLE". I began seriously considering getting my wife to ask her mother for a dose of a benzodiazepine to turn this off.
Suddenly, it was the bad trip all over. That recursive pattern, that dead-space, was pouring thorough the fractals, feeding on my fear and growing ever stronger. The walls had begun to pulsate with pure white light, imposing on me that my ego and individual self-hood be disintegrated and rejoined with the whole - by force. I'm not sure how long this lasted, but I somehow managed to intellectualize enough to know that taking a benzo to attempt a trip-abortion would be the easy, cowardly way out. I realized with my mind that it would end, but I did not accept in my heart that what was happening, this pure-white-light pouring into me, was actually a good thing and that my mammalian mind was just fearing assimilation into the blissful whole. Eventually, it wound down to the point that I got back to the "The characters on this TV show are going through the same shit!" trip I had been having earlier...
This whole experience sent me reeling, it was one of the most white-knuckle times I've had with ANY medicine. I knew by the end of it that I had not totally worked though what the issue was, but I had established that my ape-ego was trying desperately to hold on against this crash-course in unity called DMT. I had found the root of the problem...
...now just to uproot it...
