I know for me, many times that i've taken reasonable doses of mushrooms, especially when in complete silence, things have turned to be very symbiotic/parasitic at times. When I use the word parasitic I don't mean it in any negative sort of sense; it tends to be these moments that come and go through the entirety of the mushroom experience; a reciprocation of sorts, a constant give and take; which sometimes ..'more is taken, than is given'. Forms can become 110% apparent during these moments; my CEV field twisting, turning, stretching into various appearances/beings, many times taking the form of insectoid, or even a scaled appearance. All the while as this is going on, i've had moments where it felt as if these energies/beings were seeping into my being, one breath at a times, working their way in, sometimes slowly..sometimes abruptly. These encounters are pretty short lived, but they are very powerful. With smoked changa/DMT i've gotten very similar (although not very often), but typically at that level of dissolution, everything is coming on so abruptly, that if they come... they're coming, whether I like it or not
Also, getting copacetic with these experiences, lending yourself to start thinking "oh, same old, here we go..etc etc", these experiences have ways of flipping the table over when we least expect it and dig the nails in deep. As I was talking with you last night, we mentioned breaks. These experiences, especially smoked DMT, ime tend to heavily favor long periods of integration. I find if I go back sooner than id planned, the chances of me being womped on are quite a bit higher.
Your correct though in saying that it's not all 'love and candy' - probably the strongest statement here. Hyperspace embraces all forms - the angelics, the tricksters, the outkcasts, darker forces, etc; they're all embedded within, part and parcel. They all have their place, as do we and everything else in this existence. One moment of bliss and union can flip script the next second, leading into being ripped apart, operated on, and spit back out., being drug through intensely uncomfortable moments. Nothing is concrete, everything leads into everything else, sometimes directly ..sometimes indirectly.
Take some time away, ..this experience isn't going anywhere. Take care of yourself.
And your absolutely correct - we DONT know what we're dealing with; but also in knowing that ..try not to get too hung up by what happened and don't fall into the trap of trying to box these experiences into any specifics- because ultimately everyone experiences and 'reacts' differently to these things, all forming a variance on opinions, none of which are 'the case'. We simply don't know what is going on, and as you said - should exercise a healthy amount of caution when dealing with the other side.
It's great that you wrote about this though. That in itself is a major +; helps you assimilate these feelings/thought/emotions into your everyday life.
Take care
