Yesterday i´ve had an extatic mushroom/morning glory experience. After a bit of a stressfull period, i thought a little psychedelic break would do me good. And it certainly did.
For this journey, i (legally) bought a freshbox with psychedelic truffles, or rather sclerotia, wich technically speaking aren´t realy truffels. The truffles i took where named 'mothers finest'. It´s a variety of the more well known philosophers stones with pumped-up levels of psilocin. In addition i ate a few hawaian copelandia´s (that i was stupid enough to have strored in the fridge and that must have lost some of their potency as a result) and 20 fresh morning glory seeds. I also ate a bunch of raw cocoa beans.
The effects kicked in about 40 minutes after i ate them.
In a totally darkened room, i was seeing and experiencing realy beautiful things of wich one of the most remarkable things was a universe that was made out of a foam-like material that looked like the wings of a dragonfly. An infinite labyrinth was unfolding in front of me, made out of these delicate dragonfly-wing membranes and i was realy stunned by the beauty of it. But the best was yet to come.
After a few hours of lying there, i decided that i wanted to play some piano. I plugged my headphones into my electric piano and i started improvising. Immediately, i started having realy wonderfull visions..i could see the music that i was playing. I could see it evolve, i could see the harmonic structures, the rhytmic structures and melodies, visualised as something of an ever evolving spiderweb. The awesome thing was that it wheren´t even very abstract visions of music. They where very concrete and directly related to the tones that i was hearing and creating. In a grid-like structure i could see polyrhytms visualised as well as chords. I didn´t even know if my playing was following the visuals i was having or whether the visuals where following the tones that where sounding. I could see harmonic progressions as new fibers in this web, jumping out of the old grid cells and forming new grids, while some of the old fibers where being maintained...it was realy awesome. I must have been playing for almost three hours, because eventually i was getting sober and it was time to make me some tea.
Unfortunately i don´t have any recording equipment, otherwise i would realy have posted some of the stuff i was playing. Maybe when i have some more money and time, i should look into that. I never thought that i would be able to play so well, while so much under the influence of psychedelic´s, but after the initial stiffness of the fingers (vasoconstriction) had worn of..i was realy in the zone.
