Long story short, my mate and I were cooking bark tea. While we did this, we were making a Machine. We smoked up for this. While I'm drilling into the glass, I have to maintain pressure and keep my body steady. This contributed highly to my revelation. Watching the drill, I entered the vortex.
I saw the drill and the bottle transform into the ground, and the actual cement ground into the sky. We did this at around 11pm. I was wearing a T-shirt and shorts. I love experiencing the night. Being totally and utterly awake. As I looked up at the sky, I felt my arms embrace the universe, except my arms were by my side still clutching the drill and bottle, drilling straight and true. In my vision, I was embracing the universe, letting it flood me. Enter my state of conscience. I let it consume me. I experienced complete and utter divinity. No gods, no entities. Just the universe. There was no me. I became the universe.
I saw visions of the future. I saw what would happen if we fully harness the power of the sun, and completely stop the pillaging of our world. I saw us, as a species, entering the Space Age. I saw the fall of archaic thought, of entering a new world with hope, peace and prosperity. I saw the fall of poverty, war, disease and famine. The four horsemen lay dead, with the enlightened sentient human being as the conqueror. We built skyscrapers worthy of that name. We mastered transport, being able to go anywhere in the world within minutes. We had technology that I couldn't have even fathomed. Then I saw the hubris of a few individuals who wanted more, and inevitably blew up Earth. Enlightenment lay dead, with the four horsemen alive and well, stronger than ever.
I saw the bottle in my hands. I saw it as a holy object. The power it has, it was completely inconceivable. Suffice to say, I saw this bottle paving the way for that vision to the future. I saw this bottle uniting people under one banner, the banner of humanity.
Then I let my mate start drilling. I'm standing there, watching the bottle. It cracked. Not the bottle. Time and space cracked. I envisioned my mate forming a ravine in the ground, a raging torrent charging through it, destroying everything in its path. It wasn't water. It was just pure energy. I pictured it as black and ethereal, yet having a powerful form and presence. This pure chaotic energy resonated with everything in my vicinity. It breathed life. It breathed death. It breathed order and stability. It breathed chaos and anarchy. The entire world sighed with its heavy burden. And so did I. When I sighed, I saw it changing the world. The breath of life from my lips swirled in the air, picking up more air as it danced around me. It became a gale, then a tornado, then cyclone. To be at the centre of the tornado, and not feeling the wind was a strange experience. It then blew up. The best way to describe how it looked would be this video, around the 1 minute mark. The only difference is that in the video, that explosion is focused on the character. For me, the explosion centred on me, but it expanded outwards, encapsulating the whole world in this surreal light.
The way that character explodes with this energy is what I felt. But it wasn't a destructive energy, it was a creative one. Within a second, I entered the new world. No longer did I see my mate drilling into the bottle. I saw the futuristic cityscape. I was there. When my mate asked me if I wanted to take over, I was brought back to reality. And then I prepared myself for the vortex. I reentered it, seeing the exact same visions. But then, I saw the drill and bottle transform into one of those photogenic shots of Mecca. I saw the Kaaba (AKA the black box). It was desolate and empty, save for one lone figure walking around it. It was an old man, with a really long beard to his feet. After this, the rest of the trip was exactly the same as before.
Throughout this entire trip, all humans looked faceless to me. There was one person who was a bit distinct from the rest. It didn't look like me, but I sensed that it was me.
I've done acid and mushrooms. This was unbelievably more vivid than that. I trip hard. REALLY HARD. No one else I talk to has these same experiences on ganja. These visions were the real thing. I understood that Faith No More song. The Real Thing made total sense. This happened yesterday. When I woke up the next morning, I was completely refreshed. I felt truly awake.
If you don't know the song, I'll post the lyrics. It's about an acid trip. And you should listen to the song as well, it's an awesome song.
I know the feeling
It is the real thing
The essence of the truth
The perfect moment
That golden moment
I know you feel it too
I know the feeling
It is the real thing
You can't refuse the embrace...
It's like the pattern below the skin
You gotta reach out and pull it all in
And you feel like you're too close
So you swallow another dose
The pinnacle of happiness
Filling up your soul
You don't think you can take any more
You never wanna let go
To touch the roots of experience
The most basic ingredients
To see the unseen glitter of life
And feel the dirt, grief, anger and strife
Cherish the certainly of now
It kills you a bit at a time
Cradle the inspiration
It will leave you writhing on the floor...
This is so unreal, what I feel
This nourishment, life is bent
Into a shape I can hold
A twist of fate, all my own
Just grit your teeth, make no sound
Take a step away and look around
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
Look deep inside, hypnotize
The whisper is but a shout
That's what it is all about
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
You will never let it slip away
Like the sacred song that someone sings through you
Like the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks into
Like the dream you know one day will come to life
Try to hold on just a little longer, stronger
It's the jewel of victory
The chasm of misery
And once you have bitten the core
You will always know the flavor
The split second of divinity
You drink up the sky
All of heaven is in your arms
You know the reason why
It's right there, all by itself
And what you are, there is nothing else
You're growing a life within a life
The lips of wonder kiss you inside
And when it's over the feeling remains
It all comes down to this
The smoke clears, I see what it is
That made me feel this way...
This is so unreal, what I feel
Flood, sell your soul, feel the blood
Pump through your veins, can't explain
The element that's everything
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
Look deep inside, hypnotize
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
You will never let it slip away
Like the echoes of your childhood laughter, ever after
Like the first time love urged you to take it's guidance, in silence
Like your heartbeat when you realize you're dying, but you're trying
Like the way you cry for a happy ending, ending...
