The first time I saw God.....

[OAITW r.2.0]

Was when I took a little piece of paper in 1972. There was a purple owl on the 4" x 5" master sheet.

Life was never quite the same after that experience.

2. Not the whole 4" x 5" ???

but just a square tab I hope

Gods bless Owsley …

4. It was Owlsey blotter acid.....

and I only took a 1/4" x 1/4" piece. I never had that experience taking communion.....

3. A little barrel of orange sunshine pointed me

in that direction.

16. The best

Didn’t get the orange sunshine until maybe my sixth experience, but it was the gold standard.
My first was an innocuous little pink pill, which was sold as “guaranteed laboratory acid,” probably to allay the hesitancy of the consumer.

5. Opened Pandora's Box in it's own way.

Imagination, beats everything. Takes us to what we don't know.

6. Recommended

and recommended for everyone at least once.

8. The 1st time is the best.

Because you have no point of reference. The 2nd time and thereafter, you are in a different mental framework. Trays up and seatbelts fastened. You chase a moment you can't return to.

12. I always felt LSD had generally similar effects.

Different intense experiences yes, but similar. Mescaline, mushrooms or peyote always seemed a bit different.

By far and above, the best "seeing god" moments for me was after ingesting some ground up Hawaiian Baby Woodrose. The world fell into place with so much love for everyone and everything in it during that spell. In fact, shortly afterwards I completely stopped using psychedelics - like there was no longer a reason to. That must've been about 1973 or so.

Thanks for the post. Tons of memories came flooding right on back.

13. "In fact, shortly afterwards I completely stopped using psychedelics - like there was no longer a re

a reason to. "

My point exactly. Once you get to the top, what's the point of doing it again?

My last trip was @ 1985 or so, at a Dead/Little Feat concert at Oxford Hills Speedway in Oxford Hills, ME.. Those Psyilly mushrooms turned that into a fascinating moment, in my space/time continuum.

7. Sunshine Daydream....

Been there, did that too!

9. Window Pane - 1971 some funny stories....Peyote cactus in 1974 (after reading Carlos Castaneda)

I truly believe it changed my life in a positive way.

10. "The Teachings of Don Juan" and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"

the 2 most important things I read back then. Also, Alan Watts. Oh boy, did he change my outlook on life....

11. I spent an hour nose deep

in a Persian carpet searching for a purple microdot once having dropped it 😕
FOUND IT ! and immediately dosed it … wasn’t taking any chances dropping it on the carpet again …

and it helps to keep a finger on the pulse …

14. Too funny.

I too remember a time when I wished I had a magnifying glass. ....

[onethatcares]

18. first time, 4 way windowpane

and Pink Floyd "Echos".

In an army barracks, 1972.

Many other strange trips over the course of 3 years, but that one was "special"..

I don't think I would want to drop again at this point in life.
