Magic Mushrooms - An Experience

Dolphin's Nose - Kodai
This post is my individual perception of events after ingesting psilocybin mushrooms, and the following paragraphs neither recommend anybody to try these nor base my thoughts to any judgmental polarities. It is only meant for a fun read, to witness how my mind actually reacted. I had a strong urge to express these thoughts as they came, and here they are, as I put them down on paper:

"As I write this, I can feel, see, hear everything around me move in oscillatory motion and coordinate an unsung symphony that lies blended within all of the Universe and its components. This is not my actual handwriting, but I can feel it pulling my consciousness to experience a different reality that hides in there.

"Everything seems like an animated sequence, like a program, obeying the protocols to adhere to the variability in the realities they exist. My consciousness has been brought to a still state, a stillness that defines existence, things we see and perceive them to be as they are, just like the words appear to be dancing on this paper, and a background setup where everybody's just randomly tending to their needs, be it dance, happiness, joy, truth, meaning, a pattern, a newly surfaced mystery, or even a glass of water, for that matter!

"I don't know where this writing is leading me, but it appears as a strange setup of events happening around me as I sit writing here without a full stop to this sentence, I can say that everything around me blurs away and disintegrates, with only the book, the pen and myself in focus in this moment that seems eternal and endless, where I become a part of a hologram that is all inclusive, and is 'not' what it actually appears to be, where it tries to lure you towards its dark unexplored corners, every leaf of the grass plant indicating that it is all there and is obvious, but snaps off your view to reveal something that lurks behind those resting cliffs as they slowly breathe to affirm their presence, the clouds acknowledging that it has always been there.

"I still don't know why I continue to write this, despite my friends hysterically laughing beside me, walking and looping, reflecting upon each other's uncontrollable joy and laughter and the discovery of an alternate reality that has all of a sudden started to surface in a comic and humor filled manner. But I know, I'm filling junk that makes no sense to a common reader, but someone somewhere knows what I'm trying to say here. It has made me write non stop and is surely an account of how my mind thought and perceived of all that was happening around me, like an ancient encryption that longed to be deciphered, perhaps the key to explore more of this flow in its entirety, while I can simultaneously and strongly feel it had happened in a different time-reality, me being in similar setups experiencing patterns of events that start to get starkingly similar each time, circling a loop of events just happening, repeating, and you somewhere know it is playing tricks with your mind, the deja vus adding to the further confusion.

"Everything I have written here may not be true, yet it is Real. And finally, the sound of crickets and insects rhythmically interacting while I sit and listen to them intently, all point to the same truth too, or rather the same Answer, that the realization of this Ultimate Reality lies in acknowledging that 'All that there Is, is All that there Is..."

P.S.: While I was busy penning this account down, my brother, Amyth, was toying with his sketch book and this painting here resulted as a by product:
