Aspects of the Entheogenic Experience: Telepathy
My very first experience with Salvia was really strange, as I guess they all are. I had recently moved into a new flat and had been told my neighbour was Korean. The flats were very close together so we would probably see quite a bit of one another. That even ing I smoked a little salvia, not really enough to go on a real salvia trip, but enough to bring on a bit of a sweat. When I found it difficult to stand up I flopped down on my bed and wondered what it would my neighbour would look like. Suddenly almost like a police identikit photo, all these images of a women began flashing through my mind, female faces, body shapes, dress etc. Finally what I was left with was a picture of a woman in a long ankle length brownish skirt , hair tied back in a pony tail and about my height (about 6'1"). Well As I regained myself, I sort of had a bit of a laugh but with some curiosity too and wondered what she really would look like. I got the shock of my life when I finally saw her and she was dressed in a long brown skirt and light orange top and was indeed about my own height, black hair pulled back in a ponytail and face that was very similiar to how I had imagined. It was bad in a way though that I did that as the shock I got upon first seing her was so much that I was pretty dumbfounded and I guess I did not smile too much at her and maybe that made any neighbourly relationship more difficult than it would have been had I not touched Salvia in the first place. I was also smoking a lot of a legal herbal mix at the time which I think introduced a level of paranoia to the whole experience.

At one point during the Ayahuasca ceremony, I inhabited the body of a grandmother. She was very happy to be doing these little dances again. Her body was like a shell around me. I was definitely in it, but able to still know myself and look inside her, but also through her eyes.
In her body I learned that I was still a child in some ways, but that the state of being of motherhood was a much larger expanded identity that I was allowed to enter if I so chose.
So I think this is telepathy because I saw and knew her thoughts and memories. I saw and felt how she looked out on the land where she lived and how she felt connected and close to her family. I'm not sure when or where this woman lived - and maybe she was a spirit?grandma - ayahuasca
I hope this makes sence to someone out there. 3 days after the birth of my second son I was relaxing in bed and fully conscious when I had what I can only explain as a thoughts not my own, but in my head. I was told thru thought to have a third child and it would be a boy(our third son)who would bring happiness to many people. We had planed to have no more children, but I did have our third child 14 months later and he is named Micah. I can say he makes our family happy so far. I have not shared this story with anyone except my husband for obvious reasons. Could this have been due to hormones? please respond with any comments. Thank you

This aspect is telepathic: "psychic amplification", i'll call it. Its when you're in a close-knit group of fellow trippers, and you're all tripping together. You sense the feeling of their entheogenic experience, and they are also feeling your entheogenic experience---so that what you are feeling becomes magnified into a communal group experience; which is like one unified happening, greater than just your own perception. Its completely non-verbal.You're not actually sensing other's thoughts. You're just all sensing together the basic entheogenic aspects--timelessness, sacredness,absolute resolution of all the paradoxes of life,absolutes of all kinds--truth,beauty,harmony,euphoria,unity( my keyboard has no symbol for the infinite). The essence of a group entheogenic experience is indescribable, like the entheogenic experience itself, there's no way that words can convey it. The sum of (successful) group tripping is greater than the individuals involved. Its a "psychic amplification" via telepathy going right off the charts to the infinite. I highly recommend it.

Crisis-questing with salvia (for answer to severe sudden sickness).Trip begins with "the others"(a group of tall ethereal beings)No words are used, just thought. They ask,"What do you want?"-- I ask,"Am i in danger of dying?" -- They Answer, "Yes." I say," What can i do to stop it?". They answer,"We cannot tell you, but there must be an exchange." I ask," But what does that mean...i don't understand?" They say,"There must be an exchange. And now we are done." ...End of trip. The next day(in reality) a friend phones and says,"I know i'm supposed to call you.Haven't talked in a year, but i feel something important now."(and since he's a(real) Chippawa medicine man, i figure he knows something) So he tells me to ,"Make an offering .Put it on a plate.Go out in the woods.Burn some incense . Say a prayer.Then leave. BUT DON"T LOOK BACK! THIS IS IMPORTANT! WHATEVER YOU DO, DON"T LOOK BACK!" The offering was the "exchange" of the "others". My friend was subliminally alerted by telepathy during my trip. Altho i didn't think of him,the distress signal and the need for a solution was communicated involuntarily.

Telepathy is one of the most enjoyable entheogenic headspaces. I will try my best to explain what it feels like:First, feel what it is like to think to yourself. Notice the aspects of the process that you experience at the same time. You experience your five senses while you hear your own voice in your head. You also might simultaneously see visualizations like daydreams or memories. You could even have background music (like when you get a song stuck in your head). Also think about all of the neurochatter, memories, and information that you have stored in your brain that you are easily able to not think about. You have learned to center your thoughts on one set of ideas at a time. This whole process seems so automatic because we have done it our entire lives.
Second, imagine another person thinking to themselves. They have all the same stuff going on inside their head as you do. They experience their five senses, hear their own voice, have visualizations/daydreams, and automatically quiet the unwanted neurochatter/memories.
Third, imagine that your soul and their soul combine. However, you both still retain your own sense of self. So now you experience all of the stuff that normally goes on in your head along with all of the stuff that normally goes on in their head. Keep in mind that you are tripping at a 4+, so none of your thoughts/feelings are really normal any more. You feel confused and elated. While you experience each others thoughts you also experience each others five senses, visuals, memories, and neurochatter. It is very difficult to center yourself within their thought process. What I mean is that it is hard to control what memories of theirs you might experience and hard integrate the feelings of their five senses with your own. Also, there is a feeling of disbelief. Can this really be happening, we are on hallucinogens after all? So you both try to test it. Again and again. Each time you prove it’s really happening, but you still have doubts. SO you test it some more. And during this whole experience you both move in and out of the Godhead like you are floating on the edge of it.
