I found some terms that described my experiences with HWBR. I was reading about experiences and this account perfectly described my experience. I have only had one proper trip on these, so ive reported on this trip a few times already but I want to offer a very apt description of the hawaiian baby woodrose experience and to ask if any of you feel that this applies or doesnt apply at all to their experience.
The trip begins with a Cosmic Contraction phase. In this phase one becomes lethargic, feels sick inside, can be very chilled out, uninhibited and abstracted. The contraction is comparable to the feeling of the world pushing in on you, your immediate environment is a burden, dispite being a playground. At a certain point one can break through to the Cosmic Expansion phase. On a few occasions of chewing the seeds i only hung out in the contraction phase which can be fun but also annoying because it is a let down compared to the cosmic expansion which i experienced one tiem after smoking marijuana, but it faded as the marijuana faded. the last tiem i took the seeds, i had performed a very effective extraction and shared the juice of 14 seeds with a friend equally. We smoked weed and hung out int he contraction for waht seemed like ages, playing tony hawk in the INCREDIBLE heat of that day last summer. eventually we couldnt handle it anymore and went down stairs to escape the heat and sit on the brand new leather sofa we got. i put on the documentary Touching the Void, thinking that it was going to really affect us. The last time we watched it, it was one of the mst intense doccos wed seen, but in the contraction, we were just seeing straight through the techniques of the movie to dramatise, and were questioning the extent that they remade the film, and it was just so boring, and such a headload, but all a while our bodies had started loosening up to the point where i couldnt stop moving my limbs around and my friend was slipping off the couch so smoothly it was like butter melting. It hit us that some sudden weight had been lifted from our minds and suddenly we were so full of thoughts and so disoriented by the sudden engulfment in thought and intensity of the moment, the very excitement that it was working so clearly and no longer did 'am i tripping?' thoughts come up. these thoughts are common in the contraction.
and well we realised that we had to get out of my hosue because we did not want to have to explain ourselves. needless to say, my mum arrived as soon as we had left my house and thought we were free. i quickly avoided getting into much of a conversation. after this, it was beautiful.
I dont want to go into too much depth because this post is long enough already, but in the Cosmic Expansion, one may feel in intense thought, incredible comfort in the beauty around oneself, constant intense thought, obscure detatchment to the animalistic ways of the world, as consciousness expands and covers all things, yet unable to take certain specific points of reference in time and in meaning amongst the intense jungle of thoughts.
ps. that night there was a massive storm and a friend of mine pulls out a bag of roley-moleys which we procede to take and drive into the docks under the sydney harbour bridge where we explore heratige sydney in an intense thunderstorm rolling the whole night. We returned to smoke weed as the sun rose that morning, totally in awe of our experience, and iwent to my first class of the year that morning. in class i put up my hand and got a chocolate for answering the question correctly. to this day, few experiences match it.
I read peoples experiences and I see some who experience the cosmic contraction and think that it is the limit of hawaiian baby woodrose. but ive read a lot of reports and it seems to me that it is easy to ingest the seeds poorly and never reach the expansion.
Take a bit of time and do an extraction, over a few days.
And smoke weed whilst in the contraction.
this is all I must impart on you
