This is the english version of my salviareport from my 112th journey.
10.June 2000
This report was originaly written in german and translated by myself so
more people can read it. Its my 112th trip on salvia divinorum (in 1.5
years). As you see I really love this wonderful plant. Mostly because
she can give you a very interesting psychedelic experince without
changing your mood to much as with high dosed mushrooms.
2 hours ago and directly before the salviatrip I smoked some weed. I
filled my bonghead 3/4 with crushed salvialeafes and put 15 drops of
a salviaextract on it. Thats my highest dose until now and I would
estimate it equals all in all around 0.5g pure leafes. I sat down
comfortably as ever and smoked the head with one hit empty, keeping the
smoke in my lungs as long as possible. Then I closed my eyes. In the
background there was playing some nice psychedelic trance. Music never
disturbs me, but chats of persons (on a party) disturb the trip very
much.
Within 3-5 seconds my body transformed. I was part of a spheric surface
like looking into a large sphere. Then I totally lost my normal
bodyfeeling. The higher the dose the faster and more complete I leave
my body. Like on other strong trips my thinking process stopped very
rapid. I was like a consciousness kicked out of its body and its
reality.
In the beginning everything was waving. I saw something like a wall
with red stones which was sinus-shaped. In that moment I felt the
presence of a woman. She was 35-40 years old, had darkblond waved
hair down to the shoulders. She was very friendly but also a bit
confused and I had the feeling, that I know this woman. There was a
kind of communication between us which seemed like telepathy. The
presence of the woman seemed totally real, like she was standing beside
me and we know each other.
This all last for about 10-15 seconds. In this initial state I still
had a kind of own consciousness and own personality. Then I went to the
next level. There were realitydiscs which are moving through me without
stop. Every disc was about 30 cm/1 ft wide and there was an equal wide
space between them. One such disc took about 1 second to pass me
(my point of consciousness). I couldnt think longer. With every
syllable of a word a new realitydisc/-wall moves through me. And in
every disc I was another person or I was in the head of this person
beside the original personality of this person. I had the feeling, that
some are shocked about having me in their head. While I was in the head
of such a person (and so also in a disc) the disc was expanded to a
complete reality, which was my actual one.
During this phase my old self was gone nearly completly. My whole
personality was away. There were only small parts of me left. It was a
kind of sudden death. I was more these other persons than myself. But
there was an instance of me that still existed. Pitty, but I cant
remember anything special from these worlds, because they changed to
rapidly. It was like zapping fast tv. All these realities seem totally
real and I had the feeling, that the people there believe, that their
reality is the only one. It was like flying through a medium which
consists of realities. Like a big alien laboratory full of realities
and people inside not noticing the other realities and people there.
This whole experince was very lucid and I cant believe, that salvia can
cause unconsciousness. Maybe your are only a totally other person and
cant transport that back to your normal life and lose the memory of the
experience.
Sometimes I recognized the music, which functioned great as an ancor,
telling me, that my body was still in my normal world. Slowly I came
back and I was a bit shocked for some minutes, because the realness
made that experince so strange. I never had such a strong loss of
my personality. Everything happend very fast leaving no time to react
(you cant think analytically about the experince on the peak). It was
not a journey with typical trippy elements but more a heavy and lucid
realityswitch. If I would stay longer in such a reality I would accept
it as my normal one. Its very strange to be other persons in other
spacetimes for a while.
It was like a journey of my mind through a 4 dimensional space where
all 3 dimensional worlds (I count here time not as a dimension) were
separated by a kind of membran. All these other realities are directly
here separated by another dimension. On this trip I was like a
4 dimensional being which can now view from this higher point on the
different 3 dimensional realities.
Its nearly unbelievable, that such a state of being is created by a
drug. Such a trip can affect your believes about the world, death,
reality... very much. The heaviest thing is the fact, that all these
other realities seem to be as real as our normal one. You can get the
feeling, that we are silly animals trusting our reality completly
without questioning it. After such a trip I ask myself how far I can
trust this reality and what consciousness is. In spite of the fact that
this trip was really heavy I kept sitting with eyes closes without
moving.
This was one of my most interesting and bizarr trips. I was shaken to
the soul for some minutes. I also dont know how far such a trip may
change the worldview of younger people (well I am 23 :-).
After such a journey I have more questions than at the beginning and
the unbelieveable come nearer.
