What does it FEEL LIKE to contact intelligent energy/intelligent infinity?

Thanks for the bump, Infinite Unity. It's nice to see others have experienced that same thing and labeled it as contact with II.

Two energies rise up, becoming one, and then the third eye cracks open like an egg and something wonderful and warm flows down into the body. The first time was with mushrooms, the second time with marijuana and a deep sense of compassion, and the third time with mushrooms again but without compassion, totally self-centered. That third time was very bad, but it felt amazing at first to feel such boundless power and to see myself as god. I had such plans until I burned out, and then I thought I was dying. Never again.

Yes, mushrooms is also how I had the spiritual experience of contact with Intelligent Infinity. (I had also tried acid when I was a teen but I didn’t have any spiritual experiences with that.) I accidentally took too much, and the best way for me to describe the experience is that I was taken “out of my mind”. I got a glimpse of the machinery of the universe (???). All I can remember is that all parts of the universe made perfect sense. I had a penetrating insight with anything I could think of. I could see it’s perfect place in the cosmic scheme, and all was good. Of course, one is not allowed to bring back any of this awareness. I can only remember the feeling I had. I took mushrooms maybe once or twice before and did not have the same experiences I had during this one. This particular experience was extremely uncomfortable.

It’s an artificial raising to the light. I don’t recommend that people take drugs for spiritual experiences. It’s very dangerous. If this was an experience of Yesod, then I’m reminded of the Moon archetype. Which can deceive and also reveal truth. One may swim, another might drown.

Hm. I also experienced contact with II via mushrooms. I took exactly as much as I was trying to take, alone (YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY!!!) after having done prep-work via fasting, meditation and prayer for the experience.

It was not uncomfortable. I suppose because I launched myself in with the aim of ego-loss I was prepared to some extent for what was going to happen to me. I too could see some of the "machinery of the universe" as it were, understood the mechanisms, and brought back only a smidge because that's what this vessel can hold, though I've prepped the cracks as best I can still some of that will leak out in a direction I could not anticipate.

Is it dangerous? Sure. It could be. I have not taken mushrooms for spiritual upgrading's sake since, as once I understood the path I never needed them again to get there. I can still brush up against intelligent infinity as a sober person and I have control over how fast I climb there. Usually. I say usually, because about a week ago, I was grabbed and thrown into a deep meditation in almost no time at all, from 0 to 60 by something that wanted to chat and then as soon as my friend pulled into the lot, said goodbye and I was back in normal brain.

Because of how many people have negative and frightening experiences, I must support the general consensus. There really is no need to do drugs for spiritual experiences. Meditate. Pray. We weren't made to grab onto that live wire by default, but have to work hard to be able to sustain a brain state prepared for spiritual experiences. If you're not prepared for it, it can be way too much, scary, and leave you in a worse state than when you entered. Mushrooms gave me something to strive for, but I had to do some real inner work while sober to be able to brush up against intelligent infinity again.
