What does salvia teach us?

What do you think salvia teaches us?

 

That it's only fun if you enjoy fear? lol

 

Absolutly nothing and absolutly everything.

 

Salvia teaches us the power of our own imagination

 

As well as many things that our conscious imagination can't even grasp, much less invent.

 

whatever it wants to, however it wants to, even if it makes you crap yourself, or makes it so you're deathly afraid of the sidewalk. ( last one caused by weed but it could happen on salvia )

 

It teaches us that drugs are fucked up.

 

well put...

 

That some drugs are fucking crazy, pack a hell of a punch, and you never know when new stuff will hit the market.

Also after that toke PUT THE FUCKING BONG ASIDE, sit the fuck down, and hold on *the best you can* to your "reality".

 

You are your own reality, which you can infact completely fuck up and distort with these amazing, scary psychoactive substances.

 

I would like to see more experiences posted Next best thing to watching someone slip into that hellish wonderland.

 

hmmm here in the uk i once tried salvia i believe it was 100x not sure what that means but i had it when i was a bit smashed ( drink , coke and e's as well as weed lol) but all it did to me was made my clothes feel like razorblades i had no visual hallucinations, i did get really hot too. is this the same stuff, even a strong enough dosage and as its legal would someone tell me where i could find these strong solutions, would be much obliged

 

not sure if they ship to england, or where they are based even but here ya go. http://www.salviazone.com
I got the purple box called 'beyond' and tripped my fucking ass off

 

If i ever do it again, im sticking to lower strength shit, and going to attempt to enjoy that. Though, I have a feeling this is going to be one of those things that I dont like, yet will keep doing it for no real reason.

 

What I learned so far, it being my first psychedelic, is that we only see one infinitesimally small portion of existence. For me, it felt as though I was looking through doors into different realities and possibilities.

I've only low dosed so far though, so like I said I've only looked into those doors, I haven't gone through them. I'm scared to.

 

As much as you're willing to learn.

 

it is not impossible to sprout a windup clock out of your back and watch your friend become a toy soldier.

 

It slaps you in the face with a big why.
that is the question and it is also the answer
grasp it if you dare

 

salvia is like a turbo boost for the imagination...

 

- Here ya go

Oh wow – I think Salvia has a LOT to teach – but she will only share
her wisdom if treated with extreme respect. If you consider yourself on a
kind of course of study and start slow and go in deeper and deeper, then it
really isn’t scary and you get the most out of your salvia explorations.

I've tried various strengths of extracts and also used the quidding method a
few times.

My absolute favorite method was to quid for about 45 minutes, and then
once the salvia space has opened up to smoke a little 6.5x extract. That
method took me back in time to when I was a child and showed me
memories from my childhood that I never would have accessed otherwise –
they were completely forgotten. And they were important memories that
have now helped me understand aspects of myself that I was struggling with
– so in that regard I have found salvia to be an important teacher about my
own self. Better than therapy!

I have also found salvia to be a profound teacher about the nature of time,
being and reality. It raises a lot of questions, but certainly opens your mind
to thinking about some pretty intense stuff. Here’s a trip report from my
own journals that I think has some insight into some possible lessons that
salvia has to teach:


I went off into salvia space in a way that was much more controlled than I
had previously experienced. My ego was gone, and I found myself in reality-
space, floating at will to different manifested situations. This was quite
enjoyable, similar to learning how to fly in a very lucid dream.

There was also the knowledge that I could spend as much time as I wanted
there, and still return to the present moment that I had just left when I was
smoking the pipe. In fact, time was a totally non-existent thing.

So I spent quite a long time in space. Until suddenly the overwhelming
qualities of a different reality started to take hold. Out of nowhere, the
quality of hard concrete started to manifest, and the quality of sirens, and
the knowledge that I was lying on the ground and an ambulance was coming
for me.

And suddenly there was an overwhelming choice to be made… return to the
reality of the one who had just smoked the pipe, or become the one who
was lying on the ground with an ambulance arriving. I started wanting my
normal life back at this point, and started trying to find my "normal" self
again. I became aware that my heart was racing and I was freezing cold and
had started shivering uncontrollably. It was a struggle to find my way back,
but I opened my eyes back in the reality that I had been in when I smoked
the pipe. It seems that if I had just relaxed and not fought it, I would have
opened my eyes on a concrete ground with an ambulance arriving instead.
That other reality would have manifested itself around me, and my old
reality would have been a dream soon to be forgotten – maybe written off
as a dream of the person who was lying unconscious on the concrete.

After the experience, I could literally hear the sirens deep inside me for
hours afterwards, like an echo of a time and space that was entirely real
that I had just chosen not to participate in. I could also hear some dramatic
house-type music that I had never heard before accompanied by some high
soprano voices. I’m not sure what that was, but it was very audible and
kept me awake.

So, if I had relaxed and woken up as that other person, and if time is
immaterial in salvia space, when would I have returned to my previous self?

Maybe I could have woken as someone else entirely, and spent an entire
lifetime as that person, maybe died and spent other lifetimes as other
people... and STILL maybe eventually return to the self that had smoked the
pipe - and only moments could have passed in my "normal" self's life while
all of this happened! The thing is though, that to make the choice to go and
do that, I would still EXPERIENCE it as leaving the life I have known, and I
just wasn’t ready to do that yet.

Thinking on it later, I came to the realization that if time is truly immaterial,
then maybe I may as well go off to the other realities and places. All I will
gain is experience and perhaps some kind of memories and knowledge, and
yet I will still eventually return to the self I remember now! So, maybe next
time I’ll make the choice to relax into the new situation (hopefully it won't
be another emergency with an ambulance though!)

The thought comes to mind that perhaps we are swapping lives and realities
with other beings, that what we think of as our "selves" is really not what
we are at the core – but is rather just a collection of memories and
experiences that can be swapped for other ones. We can move the core to
other situations, and perhaps in some ways the previous situation even
ceases to have ever existed until we return to it and give it its existence
back.

My head is swimming with these thoughts and possibilities! I am not
committed to any of these ideas yet either, but I am certainly questioning
just what reality might be! It was truly an amazing experience!
