I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

It just counts to me lol, you get to define your own experiences! Thanks for sharing your trip stories! I always love to hear them.

Oh the craziest one was my second breakthrough ever. I was siting in a room with my closest friends, and everyone had a crazy face suddenly (they still looked like the people I loved, but with crazy faces!) Two parts stuck out to me so hard, I can still see them to this day. One was the strings. I could visually see strings connecting things from where they currently were, to where they were going to be in the future. I’m convinced that my brain was just working really slow, and what I was seeing were trails from where things WERE, but it looked sooooo different from the trails I’d see see on LSD or MDMA/MDA or RCs. Plus, they didn’t sync right with the words I’d hear from people, making it reeeeally seem like I was seeing strings connecting into the future.

The second and most intense thing I saw was a new color, that I had never seen before. It was like a scintillating vibrant color, a mashup of blue, pink, silver, gold, maybe? But kinda, cycling through them at the same time? I can still see it in my mind, and I wish I could show it to other people. I cried.

I've still not broken through.

That last experience sounds like it was really moving. Like the good version of The Colour Out of Space.

It’s so difficult to break through! I tried maybe five or six times and got really close the last time before my first actual breakthrough. Since then I’ve tried it another four or five times with two more breakthroughs. None as strong as the strings breakthrough—I strive for that at least once more.

Sounds slightly like a similar experience to how people describe seeing the new color olo
