A very excellent read, thank you for sharing. I&#x27;ve experienced a very similar thing about a year and a half ago, so it&#x27;s always comforting to read about someone else&#x27;s experience!<p>I still remember it vividly now, I took exhausting notes during the process - notes that I thought were full of pure spiritual brilliance - and which turned out to be mostly mad gibberish in the end.<p>Among other things there were a few days that I spent convinced that I was a character in a video game and I had to make sure that the game was &quot;entertaining&quot; or else the &quot;player&quot; would &quot;switch it off&quot;.<p>Some things were downright Lovecraftian in nature. Reading his stuff now, I&#x27;m pretty sure that a lot of his stories were inspired by his own mental trips. ie, one of my favorites: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hplovecraft.com&#x2F;writings&#x2F;texts&#x2F;fiction&#x2F;hy.aspx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hplovecraft.com&#x2F;writings&#x2F;texts&#x2F;fiction&#x2F;hy.aspx</a><p>But mostly it was full of that exhilarating rush of being connected to some hidden truth that no one else has access to. I can see why it&#x27;s hard for people to just walk away from that when those visions feel so meaningful at the time.<p>Anyway, well done for recovering! I guess a lot of people don&#x27;t, which is quite a disturbing thought - being stuck in that mental state forever - so that makes us quite lucky.
