Something all expirenced Mushroom Eaters know, but that inexpirenced often find suprizing, is that the mushroom expirence comes in waves. As they start to come on, the waves are subtle and difficult to precive or contemplate. This is the "something is happening but i dont know what" stage, which quickly progresses to "everythings moving!" and "look at the colors!", if the mushrooms are strong enough. The waves most often generate from the abdomen, or more percisely, where the mushrooms are in the body. Mushroom waves are multifaceted. they effect all aspects of being. there is a visual, cognitive, physical,emotional, and spiritual components to the wave. Each wave reaches its natural peak and then fades away, only to be replced by another wave, though expirenced mushroom eaters know how to shape waves so they can be diminished or prolonged.
At some point the mushroom eater reaches the peak expirence, often within the first hour or two. this is when the mushrooms are the strongest. the waves build up in intensity and frequency, much like a gathering storm. They then break over ones consciousness and being. The seeker is now fully in the mushroom expirence. The peak can be very dissorienting. Mind and emotions are not where they are normally expected to be. Bodily and spatial limits are overcome. The mushrroms eater IS the expirence of the mushrooms, not the brain inside a body. The mushrooms eater IS the patterns, the colors, the thoughts, the emotions, the dreams that sweep over one. If it is a particularlly intense mushrooms expirence, they may lose sense of there immediate physical body. some describe it as an out of body expirence. For others it might be the expirence of taking up all the space inside a room, forest grove, or mountain or sky. in other words, it can both be dislocating and expansive.
After the peak, the waves last longer and are gentler. Depending on the strength and amount of mushrooms consumed, this gradual decline of the expirence can take one to several hours. Most mushroom eaters having a good expirence try to prolong the waves to get as much out of them as possible, not wanting the magical expirence to end. Eventually the waves become soo subtle that they simply wash away and mushroom eaters find themselves back in a normal state of consiousness. They re-establish habitual cognitive and emotional boundaries as they become "myself" once more. If the mushroom eater has done it right, and used the mushrooms as a tool, and not just as entertaing light and psychic show, he will have a completly differant understanding of who this person called "me" actaully is, and his veiwof the world and all things in it could be profoudly alterd as well.
