Once the mushrooms have taken effect the first thing that you notice aside from being pain free, is that you no longer have any anxiety or fear of anything, no worries. any dilemma or problem that you may have had lays out before you with the easy and simple obvious solution right there easy for you to see and grasp. all your fears are gone. everything is easy, no problem. for me I feel a very strong vibration emanating from my heart and filling me with strength. this is the true reason why the Viking Berserkers consumed these mushrooms prior to going into battle. It was not for the purpose of going berserk but because they take away all your fear and anxiety and make you feel very strong so that one may go into battle without shitting yourself. going into battle this way with no fear and feeling strong will indeed allow you to be a rather berserk opponent enjoying what you're doing as it is so easy. even the fear of death is non-existent. as I found out on one of my experiences when I thought I was going to die but I had no fear of it. But maybe in my experience I have a special or unique view of that since I've already been dead and came back with memories of that other side being very pleasant indeed. But it seems from other people's accounts that suggest there is just no fear attached to you when Amanita are in your system.
There also , with Amanita, from every experience I've ever had and from all reports from the people that I know if maybe not from everyone is the experience of great joy. a very calm grounded easygoing gentle but joyful feeling all around especially with nature. the only thing that I can say that one must watch for is to be mindful of you're walking, of your feet, of where your body is. your body seems to be a little bit off from you maybe a foot or two to one side sometimes. So walking around corners may actually be walking into the corner or walking over uneven ground may have you stumbling if you are not mindful of your steps. On higher doses there is an effect that I called The Switch. The switch is when there seems to be like someone else has a switch attached to your Consciousness and they flick it off and on really fast. Your knees buckle and you go down and you're instantly back up as if nothing ever happened. or you may drop what you have in your hands and say, oh I dropped that , and pick it up and then drop it again. the thing with the switch is that it often comes with what I call the time Loop. from my own experience, it went like this... I was walking across the room and I had in my hands a bag of Syrian Rue seeds. the switch hit and I dropped the bag of seeds on the carpet spilling them all over. so I got down to pick them up, or possibly my knees buckled. I can't remember for sure, and I went down to pick them up. As I was picking them up my girlfriend came in and asked me if I was ready to go mushroom hunting, as that was the plan. I said yes, as soon as I pick up these seeds. I picked up the seeds, stood up, and dropped the seeds again. I got down to pick them up and as I was picking them up she came in and asked me if I was ready to go mushroom hunting and I said yes as soon as I pick up these seeds. Then this scene replayed about 50 more times in a row taking up a period of about 4 hours. Paul Stamets relates a similar experience in where he dropped his camera and picked it up and dropped it and that happened about 50 more times in a row. This is the point where if you are in a public place and concerned citizens see you falling down repeatedly, because it's no big deal to you, and getting back up and falling down again that you typically get an involuntary ride to the hospital. which is why I say don't do this in a public place. at least until you're used to the effects from more than one experience and have somebody there with you to keep things on track . needless to say driving a car would be the stupidest thing you could possibly do. as for my own experience, even though I can navigate perfectly well, if carefully, I know for a fact that I would drive directly into the first ditch or tree that I see if I tried to drive in this state. More with pantherina than with muscaria come to the switch and the possibility of skins knees, so be mindful of your surroundings. And its good to have somebody straight with you to help just in case you need it.
Along with these things that I am related to you here come A huge list of all kinds of things that can happen. From going 50 feet tall, to Flying, to out of body experiences, to jumping in and out of other people's bodies, to living their whole lives in a moment , to living in the past present and future all at once , to talking to God , to becoming God , to judging yourself on whether you're a good God or not , to getting naked and rolling around or on the floor or running down the Street naked, cuz why would God need clothes, to dying and being reborn, to seeing into other dimensions or past lives and or going through them and living through them. You May notice a certain biblical sort of feel to some of this which is odd but very common. and there are any number of other experiences and trance like or dreamlike states or Visionary experiences that can happen. one that is very unique is when you can know everything about somebody just by walking by them as if you've known them your entire life or live their whole life with them or were them. even if they are a block away from where your body is.
A very good and beautiful and amazing experiential trip report is on this group's files called something like Rylee's Panther trip report or something like that. and it is one of the most beautiful reports I've ever read or heard and also is very typical of what most people are experiencing on a higher-dose pantherina experience. from beginning to end the entire experience usually takes about 15 hours, but you're not tripping that whole time. it takes a few hours to get going, the peak is around 3 to 6 hours in, and then it tapers off gently after that and you're always able to sleep very well pretty much at any time during it, waking up feeling refreshed almost every time.
One very important things that I have to add regarding Amanita Pantherina, is that pantherina are very Speedy on the nervous system. If you start going too fast or if you start shaking too much or if it just all gets to be too much you can take 200 to 500 mg of Manganese, not magnesium, but manganese and it will slow things down. And with the shaking it can keep you from going into convulsions. Which isn't as scary as it sounds period above all don't worry, there's nothing to fear. Nobody ever dies. Although you may go through a death and rebirth experience, or some other biblical such business. you aren't really dying, you won't die and you shouldn't have any fear of it anyway because the Amanita take that away. Plus coming from one who has been dead already and come back for real, death is nothing to . In fact I kind of liked it and I didn't want to come back here. But they made me. Death is safe. We do it all the time, over and over again. If it wasn't safe we wouldn't do it all the time. And what's the big deal, you're all Divine beings stuck in a piece of junk old jalopy, as beautiful and fun to take for a spin as some of those jalopies might be. So although you won't be trading it in for a new one because of a pantherina, there may be something to be said for trading it in on a new model as we move further into the Golden Age. also, a talk for another day.
Talk to your mushrooms, tell them if your wishes and intentions. Thank them for becoming a part of your consciousness. Give them love and respect, and they will give it back to you. Namaste.
