REPORTI can best describe the evening as a long, slow conversation with Aya. The dose was mild (I can only compare intensity to changa experiences), but profound nonetheless. I absolutely loved the feeling of the caapi, and the persona it had. There was the constant sense of being in the presence of a being of great comfort, and a lot of communication both ways. Colours predominantly greens and pale ochres. I experience quite a few energetic purges through the evening, but although there is a lot of nausea and discomfort, I don't physically vomit or need to use the bathroom once.
The overwhelming lesson was that my entire perception of reality is a construct. That I live inside a box of my own devising, and that I'm the only one who can 'open the box', and let the light in. That I need to tear down the walls that myself and society have built. I was also given a glimpse of the nature of 'evil', and of its origins.
From there I was led to open the box inside myself. I was reluctant, given that I knew there were many horrors in there, but the entities communicating with me were persistent. Sitting cross legged, I saw it unfold in my centre, golden light and fire escaping from it, a mixture of good and bad emanating from within. What happened next is hard to describe in words. A huge sharp beam of white light, shot down from high above, like some divine laser. It speared straight into my core, below my solar plexus, in short controlled bursts. My body was forced backwards, even my face felt like it was pulling back off my skull with the force of some mighty wind, and strange demonic shapes blew off of me, ripped away from my being. It gave me the strange dualistic feeling of wanting it to stop and wanting it to happen again all at once.
The last, and perhaps weirdest, but also most sensational experience happened shortly after – still sitting cross legged, tiny beings surrounded me, helpers to the entities present ('elves' I guess some would call them), and started tweaking my very being, like I was made of small technological blocks which they were turning, twisting, and reprogramming. I could feel my body hunched and forced over into the strangest position, amazed and confounded all at once – it really felt like the very fibre of my being was being reconfigured.
My awareness shifted to a third person perspective, and I saw my body from outside, reformed into a shining green, almost crystalline shape – a familiar shape, like some kind of strange techno-amphibian. My brain doesn't even manage to get to the F part of wtf before I'm hurled into an intense energetic purge – and it dawns, they've built a human frog cannon (!), firing the dark energies straight out of me. A human frog cannon. Hilarious and ingenious all at once. The purge leaves me feeling amazing, a feeling that I take straight through the following day, and also gives me a good laugh, and a great appreciation for the artistry of these hyperspace entities. I'm also left wondering if they have a good feeling after achieving one of their feats, and really hoping that they do get joy out of it.
The couple of hours after that is a gentle glide down, a lot of chatting with my friend, and just an overwhelming feeling of wellbeing.
All in all, a fantastic experience, especially given that my last harmala + changa experience was very dark and hellish, and I went into the night extremely nervous. Going to take some time to integrate and absorb, but I'll definitely be revisiting her
