Yeah, I do get that vibe from Amanita, it definitely has a feeling of seriousness to it.

Did anyone in here ever had an Amanita experience like I did? I wrote a report wtih 3 experiences, the third one being the massive one that knocked me out of life. You can read it here.

I think Alder reached the point of death once from a sidenote he made in that thread..quote: "When I did my overdose on freshly picked A. m., after surviving that terrible sick in something like real time, it seemed I lived lifetimes over the next few hours."

Anyone else? Would love to hear more..

I have no more reasons to go as far as I did there...But heck I'm a natural born psychonaut so I guess I will do it anyway...but not in the near future.

Already posted in polls, but thought I would post it here too since this is specifically an Amanita thread:

 

-------------

 

I am currently conducting a study on the therapeutic use of the Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) mushroom and am searching for potential participants who have prior experience using this mushroom for therapeutic purposes. I am conducting short online surveys to gather information about the growing interest in the use of this mushroom as a “medicinal” mushroom with the aim of better understanding this trend and to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support any of its reported therapeutic applications.

 

If you are interested in participating in this study, you can access the survey here: https://cwu.co1.qual...bat4KF0eQsVo7xX

 

Or if you have any questions you can PM me, or contact the Principal Investigator here: [email protected]

 

Thank you.

I remember that trip Neptune... Just remember to pack lots of water as I recall you were quite parched...

Hey Neptune, I met Mycotopia through your beautiful cactus growlog, nice to see you also here in this thread!

 

I can say that I lived something similar to your third (death) trip on my first ever psychedelic encounter. They were truffles, not amanitas, however they possibly had being too much for one go in common.

 

I remember the sensation of being dead, in the darkness, but instead of witnessing death in it’s different shapes like you did, I was trying repeatedly to envision a memory of life to slip back into, over and over again and failing. Only after hours when quit trying and realized I can be dead and that's fine, I came back 'screaming my lungs out' while pissing/jizzing my pants. Didn't have too much to think about it then and I still don't.

 

 

The nature of your second trip with the vision is what I think would be nice to discuss, it was also what I hoped for when I ate amanita m. (sought/found/dried 5 caps in July) for the first time.

 

I think, if we are thinking of these trips as attempts of seeking some kind of an assistance from another being (amanita or otherwise), it makes sense that this assistance would be of a repairing nature, rather than providing you with either newfound powers or deep insights which, once the effect wears off become unable to articulate or integrate with the way you live.

 

It is invaluable to be reminded/remember what we wanted as children for ourselves and our community/family, before we believed that this desire means a task beyond our capability, that what we need to overcome is big, scary and violent to an unmanageable degree, and 'forgot' this possibility along with what we truly want/on whose behalf we want this/who we truly are.

 

The repairing of this sense of desiring for and as humanity, I think, is everything we can ever want and more.

 

This being, we can sense that it is trying to live though us/make us truly live, you can sense that it is speaking when we are asleep, in fact, I think, because it is our core there isn't one moment where it doesn't speak. Maybe sleep quiets the daily noise down and in dreams it shines. Maybe that's where plants or mushrooms help as well (I think it makes no sense to talk about an exclusive effect of a substance, and think of ourselves as the passive receivers of this effect), in terms of only preparing a quiet setting, and what shines is the light of our/the being. Who knows!

 

With my amanita trip, I hoped for this kind of thing, a repair which would show me what kind of separation I have come to live and which events that it corresponds to and such. I crushed the caps and put them inside a pot of water, used a blender to make it even finer and simmered for an hour, ate the pulps, afterwards did the urine and all (it didn't seem like something I wanted to avoid because of wow disgusting. I wanted to give this one a serious go, if it'd help then why not.) (only tip for fellow urinebros is that, if you want to season the tea (which should be called a soup to be honest [mushroom + hot water] with salt, so that it tastes like a proper soup, note that your pee will also taste salty and you'd probably like it not to.)

 

5 caps got me no visions, no dreams, no guidance. Only a cool as fuck mood; Although I felt so light, I just knew, that this wasn't a trip, "to somewhere else", that everything was exactly the same, but daily reasons to make problems out of things were nowhere to be found. I remember the joy of knowing the absolutely no big dealness of cleaning up a chocolate milk spill. JUST CLEAN IT BRO AND THAT’S IT. The crushing mental load of making a big deal of things, important or daily, is gone, which brought the sensation that there are no categories of important or daily things, but what's important is this life and it is EVERYthing I am involved in, and there is no reason to believe that any action would take anything more than the doing of it, absolutely no reason.

 

Because it was just so cool, naturally I thought I'd drink it daily, like morning coffee, as it grows everywhere here in northern europe in the season. Weeks after this I came across research articles that suggest neurotoxicity for active substances in amanita m., which is in contrast with the information can be found in most forums. So even though I have 7 more caps dried, and dozens of fresh caps I see daily outside, I don't know yet how I want to proceed yet.

 

Contrary to most reports I've read, I’d really like to eat more of it! But also, apart from the danger of neurotoxicity, I don't want to shy away from the challenge of finding out and overcoming whatever that is which convinces me that I, or we, can't fly, and outsource this sensation it to amanita m. I feel like it would defeat the purpose of it.

 

(I also want to discuss the issues related to the toxicity of muscimol and ibotenic acid, active compounds in this musroom, but I guess storming the gates isn't the place, would be nice if someone guided me there.)

Hey guys ,since i didn't want to create a whole new Topic for this,i wished to ask some questions about my Soon First Trip with Amanita Muscaria.I started Microdosing Amanita 11 Days ago and honestly it came to me as a "Miracle" Medicine.Not so long ago i became very 'Attracted' to amanita muscaria and its magic and healing potentials.Now that i am slowly connecting with Amanita (Spirit) i am planning to do my First lets say milder trip with 4-5Grams of it.Since Amanita has reverse toleerance i am slowly building it up in my system with Microdosing so i can get much more Effects with less of the material.I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with lets say Fasting Beforehand ,i am planning to do Fruit detox this week then Fast that day before doing the trip.I wish to prepare properly and really put my intentions before doing it.I have my own reasons for doing it and i can say that i have never been more ready for whats to come.I know i have yet to do a massive dose,but i believe its not neccessery to do it yet because i realised that as the days go by i feel Amanita effects more and more,so doing 5grams will be such as doing 10-15 grams for someone else that didnt even prepare or microdose it beforehand.

 

I am also eating the Dry caps when i Microdose and i plan to do the same when doing the 'Trip',i definitely dont feel any nausea or whatever and i definitely have a Iron Stomach.I will make sure to drink something for my stomach before doing it for sure,just to make sure not to get too upset stomach.

Honestly my friend i can't stress enough of how much i read online that people constanly say how they don't experience Any trips when doing Amanita Muscaria,which in 99% are people that never think of Microdosing Amanita beforehand and actually Slowly building it up in their system,so they could achieve the Trip with much less Material that they think they should take.

 

 

 

I have read about people taking 30 grams of Amanita and not feeling anything except Vomiting and Diarrhea,and i also seen people taking 5-10grams of IT and having "I AM" trips that were A lifechanger.

 

For me after just 11 days of Microdosing i only need to take 0,5-1 gram (1 cap) max to feel that 'Great Mood' effect,which you report that you took 5 Caps in order to feel that.

Interesting! I know that it's been discussed here that the shamans would eat it and then others would drink the shamans piss. Don't think I'll go that route, but your method sounds a bit more, um... Appitizing.

Since this thread is entitled "experiments" - Has anyone tried making "The Living Bread" with A. Muscaria? Here's linky: http://www.ambrosias...mmortality2.pdf

I have been working on this experiment. I purchased a. muscaria "shake" off the interent (BBB) and have tried to replicate using the barley cake method listed above. It seems straight-forward enough, but I haven't tried one of the cakes yet. Apparently, the active ingredient in muscaria is only accessible when the material is completely dried.

I have made some tea with some of the shake, and put some on a salad, but have only experienced a sensation best described as "overall pleasant and well-being". Nothing as intense as that described above.

If anyone has experience with The Holy Grail or The Living Bread, I'd love to learn more about it. Thanks,

 

Although the founder of the Ambrosia Society and author of the book seems to be real genuine guy just wanting to share his knowledge, the resurrection video on youtube had comments underneath which convinced me that the growing fleece isn't A.M coming back to life, but growth of mold which can grow anywhere if needs met.

 

Of course the effects may not be only placebo because the dried mushroom itself has active ingredients soluble in cold water, but the same can also be done without drinking mold juice.

 

Kind of sad because the guy had some pure dreams of a future where people, as brothers and sisters will enjoy fresh bread of life baked in their neighborhood bakeries, oh well : (
