I felt to share my own experience of once taking "magic" mushrooms - why did I do it and what effect did they have?

I was always vehemently anti-taking any kind of hallucinogenic drug. It always seemed to me to be defeating the object - which has been to find stability of consciousness as a platform to work from, then to go progressively deeper into the layers. We're talking about going into ever finer subtlety of experience - how the multidimensional landscape impacts our daily lives here and now. How could shifting consciousness suddenly forwards and backwards help that steady embodiment?

Plus I quickly started witnessing the effects in people who'd experimented with them. Yes, drugs like Ayahausca can purge and provide a window of insight into the beyond. However, the negative downside can be astronomic. I've witnessed how the soul gets fragmented into inner layers through the process, where once the experimenter comes back down from that state is now unable to access those fragmented layers, only now, they're having a huge impact on their consciousness. I've witnessed people suddenly go unconscious, be projected into layers they struggled to then integrate and even become psychotic.

Most importantly though, they'd opened themselves up to entities in the field, that are drawn like moths to car headlamps, which then embed in people's fields having all manner of adverse leaching effects, which they then struggle to deal with. I've personally removed hundreds, perhaps thousands (where collectives are concerned), of entities from people's fields who've taken hallucinogenics.

Why then take magic mushrooms?

I found myself naturally being critical of why people find the need to take them and their effects. Some were extolling the beneficial effects, which I struggled to see - and still do. When you get past any immediate opening up, which is mostly temporary, I was witnessing the huge downsides. But I felt I needed to have some personal experience so as to be able to reflect - to back up my viewpoint. Having felt to explore, synchronistically a short while later at a retreat centre in Poland, I realised they were growing magic mushrooms in their garden. So I took some back with me to experience.

First, I took their recommended dosage, which other than a relaxing effect didn't seem to do much. So I took the rest of the batch - about three times the recommended. What I noticed was that they activated the 4D layer quite strongly. If you were not used to being open into this layer of the field as a regular part of your awareness, you'd probably experience it as pretty expansive, and there'd likely be plenty of journeying - but nothing you can't gain through regressions in meditation.

What I also noticed though, was how the higher dimensional experiences that I generally have access to, beyond the 4D, were actually closing down. This was because consciousness was being overly distracted onto the 4D astral plane. And so in terms of regular soul navigation from the higher layers of awareness, the mushrooms actually had a negative, shutting down effect.

It confirmed for me my view and approach with the Openhand work: there's nothing you can't gain more than you can from breathing and chakra attunement in meditation. Most importantly, I don't believe hallucinogenics help to embody higher dimensional experience on a regular day-to-day basis - where you're navigating in life from the subtle soul infusions. And there's all manner of negative intervention effects you risk opening up to. To me, there are no quick fixes or lasting positive "hacks" on the journey of soul infusion. Rather it must be a steady and progressive integration, building on one experience to another, like steadily climbing a staircase.

I don't believe there are any truly successful shortcuts to the path. So why not just get on with the daily work?

Bright blessings
