In April 2022 I began micro-dosing on Psilocybin mushrooms by taking a gram dose every third day. I varied the dosing and timing going as high as seven grams. In no case did I experience hallucinations. I did have ‘visions’ of a sort. One vision was a solution to a a problem in my dissertation of long ago (the under shift was in the definition of truth); another was of sense of self to include the mundane as well as the curated stories I tell myself. The third was little balls of light or fire which are the internally maintaining things I created such as QPC, Carolyn, technology invented. The fourth (October 2020) was of an epistemological typology touching the fore fingers and the thumbs to make a squire, I image the corners as emptiness, fantasy, form, and the mundane (science). The center is the forge of the experience world.
Number five was a mental project to conceive the good. What politics would I support without any reactions to the bad? It was difficult. I didn’t desire any utopia that was uniform nor dictated to the populous. I imagined starting with birth and imagining the ideal stages of life. For a baby it was not hard. But soon there were choices, what language, what culture, what morals etc. I wanted a range, some color. I didnt want everything reduced to individual choice or freedom. I knew humans would resort to conlicts and violence. My failures here were a powerful lesson in emptyness
Then some vivid dreams the first brought vivid memories of life with Patty recreating a sensual sense of living in touch, smell, sound taste and warmth. The second was a strange adventure of climbing down a steep slope and finding I could do it without fear.
There has been something ‘expanding’ about the experience.
