I did mushrooms, which was very helpful for me, actually.
I mean, I go into a really bad depression when I take mushrooms
because I think I'm allergic to them or something.
Just kind of, I go get really depressed for a couple of days.
Afterwards or not during?
Afterwards, yeah.
No, during is amazing.
I love them, but I've only done them a few times.
But every time I've done them, something's changed in my life,
like majorly changed.
I've either given up an addiction or I've, you know,
for example, I came off Twitter or stopped kind of really using it.
I took mushrooms one day.
We were sort of on like a road trip and we were sitting by a pool
and I think this was the first time I actually ever did them,
was during the pandemic.
And I remember saying to my friend,
I don't, I'm not really sure these are doing anything.
Yeah, that's how they sneak you.
Right.
And then he goes, well, you've, you've been taking a photo,
you've been taking photographs of that same flower
for the last two hours.
And I noticed it, and I looked down at my phone
and there was like 400,
I was like scrolling through this 400 photographs
of this flower, it's a really beautiful flower,
but in hindsight, probably the mushrooms
had something to do with that.
So, um, I, so I just looked down at my phone,
opened Twitter and it just looked like a vortex.
Oh yeah.
There was a very, very strange,
like, it was like fragmenting at the edges,
you know, like a, like an actual vortex.
Um, and it looked like extremely dark energy.
It's hard to describe it, um, in sober word wording,
but it was, you know, at the time I would,
would have just kind of felt this horrible, um,
kind of anxiety looking at it.
And I just, there and then deleted the app
and just put the phone down and just got on with my day
and I didn't reinstall it.
Um, and there were a couple of other things I did as well.
I did it with Instagram.
I did it with like a few other,
because I just noticed that the phone
and actually the phone itself was like,
just looked like it was like charged with horrible,
like nebulous, like dark energy,
like felt like a black hole basically.
Yeah.
And it felt like it was like drawing me towards it,
but not in a good way,
like in a way that, um,
made me feel like I was dying.
So I just thought, no, I'm,
that's telling me something.
This is, you know,
I've also noticed the way my dog reacts to my phone.
He very often pulls it away,
but also just, just won't engage with it.
He'll only engage with me.
And if I'm engaging with it,
then he'll, he'll just kind of walk off.
Wow.
So it's almost like,
here's a piece of life telling you,
Hey man, that's not life.
Yes.
Yeah.
That's what's interesting.
Very well put.
That's what's interesting about mushrooms, man.
It'll give you a little clue.
