What characteristic of tripping do you find most intense? (time change, OBE, visuals, etc.)

I find it quite intense to have a moment of eternity, or a half complete OBE where you realize your body is behind you, hehe.

What's the most intense for you?

Safe travels<3

The most intense characteristic of tripping for me (at least with dmt) is definitely the out of body experience and how different I feel whilst having this experience. The most extreme example of this that I had was after smoalking some crystals I found myself flying through space towards earth faster than the speed of light (or at least that's what it felt like). After a few seconds of this high speed travel I collided with my body and felt my body be ripped apart at the subatomic level as well as all of my surroundings, kinda like how DR. Manhattan does. I was then rearranged into the rough shape of my body but I was floating and my entire world around me was spinning and morphing whilst giant golem beings made of stars picked me up and tossed me around whilst telling me all my faults. Definitely the most intense experience of my life.

When you come back glad to be alive

what they/we call "ego-death"?

lol.. yes what we call ego death.. yoweeeee!!!

The most intense part for me is what I like to call quantum thinking. I feel like I have the ability to think of all possible outcomes of any situation simultaneously. Often times this allows me to work through real life problems I have very quickly. Furthermore it allows for a more open understanding to the possibility of a group consciousness that every one came from and will eventually return too through meditation, hallucinogen use use or death of our mortal selves. My explorations have led me to believe that their is a group consciousness that is inherently good natured, however our imperfect senses granted to us in our human state prevent us from being able to properly perceive its existence or the existence of the numerous other dimensions modern science believes to exist. Humans live a four dimensional life and its not until something strips away our flawed senses by showing us they can't truly be relied on that we become open to the idea of things we cannot perceive in our current state. The flawed nature of our mortal sense and the limitations of our human bodies is really what is responsible for evil in the world as we know it, for if you were able to fully comprehend what it means to be fully good you would not be able to commit evil acts. Sorry if this sounds like rambling but this is usually the content of my experiences. While I do have visuals and enjoy them very much it is seldom the reason I visit hyperspace.

For me, the most intense part is the space between being in your body, and having an OBE. At least with an OBE, you KNOW that you aren't in your body.

I'm talking about the part where you have no f**king idea where you are. You are not in your body, you are not outside of your body, you just ARE. All it is, is existence at its most basic and pure form. I had this on my second huasca trip, a nitrous combo, and multiple times on salvia. Sometimes it is euphoric, sometimes its disphoric, and other times its just like...."whhhaaaaaaattttt". But that is, for me, when the trip most closely resembles...

Camping.

...very, very intents.

letting go of my ego is generally the hardest for me.. and once iv done that not much feels very intense

I find the most intense part of a trip is if you find yourself in super-fast-forward mode. This is something that happens most often it seems if you burn the spice. Most people who have experienced it will know exactly what I'm talking about, and it's kinda self explanatory. Everything is moving incredibly fast and you're usually at the mercy of simply waiting it out. The intensity is in the air, and the crazy part is that the fast-forward effect doesn't seem to be restricted to the visions as one might expect.

I remember one night when it was nice out, I went out on my terrace/porch area (second floor - out of public view) to have a quick journey. As I was taking my hits, I was unexpectedly joined by two friends who just wanted fresh air. I closed my eyes and wound up with that fast-forward mode in action. My friends began having a conversation, and I noticed that their words were flying by a million miles a minute. I opened my eyes and surely enough they were moving around in jerky fast-forward as well. I had always assumed that the visions were sped up, but that experience made me realize that it was my perception of time itself that was thrown into full-throttle. This is fascinating to me because on other psychedelics, I have commonly experienced time warping (most often time dilation - time slowing down) but that warping doesn't usually apply to the scope of immediate experience. So in other words, it's more often like I look at the clock, it's 10:00; feels like an hour goes by; was really just 15 minutes. Even if time speeds up, it's still on that larger scope where perhaps I'll think 10 minutes have gone by, but it's really an hour.

Now, that is the effect that I've most commonly experienced and find to be the most intense, but the other side of the same coin is equally, if not more (and most definitely more) intense, and that is the experience of eternity. I have only received a beloved taste of eternity but once, however it was incredibly profound and intense. I was soaring through white light, and as I approached the godhead, time began rapidly slowing down. I could literally feel/sense the particles of time growing bigger until I got so close that time had literally stopped. Of all the experiences, that is probably the most ineffable even though it contains such simple and common mystic elements. So I guess when it comes down to it, between super-fast-forward and eternity, I find extreme time warping to be the most intense characteristic of a trip.

To me, the most intense part is where you not just experience weird things, but the phenomeonon of experience itself becomes totally weird as well.

This is what coïncides with ego-death, since ego is usually an integrated part of experiencing things: YOU experience it.

There are many, many wonderful and frankly, terrifying aspects to the psychedelic experience. Still, there is one aspect which I hold as the most important for my path and that would be having a full-blown, whiteout experience. As I have found, it is the full immersion into The Clear Light of the Void, which stands above all other parts of the trip.

That being said, while this occurs, my subjectivity is shattered and my mind is stopped. Very little can be said of this eclipsing, yet, the impression of being dissolved in the expanse and limitlessness of... The Light... lingers just long enough to burn it's blinding radiance into my very soul (tattooing the Word upon my forehead).

Yeah that sounds very intense and not very enjoyable :O

Haven't had that phenomena as of yet.

I know exactly what you mean. Though I have not witnessed it with actual people. I always journey alone so the first time I noticed this was when I forgot to turn off the television before taking a rip. It has never made me feel uncomfortable in the slightest, if anything, it makes me chuckle.

The strange thing is that it only happens to me on a visual level. The time I mentioned that the television was on, it was on mute and I had music playing, but the music was still playing at it's normal speed. I felt like my body was moving at normal speed, except my hands...they were performing actions at 3x speed. Then my cat walks in the room, and she is at normal speed.

It is like time is shattered into multiple speeds all around me. Wild stuff, but like I said, never uncomfortable...it is wondrous.

Participation in the divine mystery.

Fast forward is fun. I've seen it a couple of times. Strangely enough, I've even experienced it when sober - I didn't like it then.

Word

There are a few characteristics that stand out but one that gets me every time is this weird visual effect with my eyes open. It's like when I look at things I can zoom in extremely close and see the vibration of whatever I'm looking at, and when my vision zooms in it tilts and spins. Weird I know... and this explanation isn't even doing justice to how weird it really is... every time this happens I do a double take with every object that comes into my field of vision. Another weird visual effect is when everything gets "smashed" into a really flat line... pancake vision... it's soooo weird. When in this vision I tend to have my head tilted back looking out of the slits of my barely opened eyes.... really creepy and awesome at the same time.

For me the most intense is the "This is it" feeling I get on most trips. Somehow the trip seems more real than normal reality. It has a special clarity that you don't find in your everyday life.

Without a doubt, the most intense part of a trip for me is the preflight nerves. Once I'm away.. its all good.

The launch is really intense for me. Also, that feeling of general alien weirdness.
