My Peyote Experience
Posted: Wed 28th Jun 2006 02:59 pm
I prepared two 3.5cm peyote cactus with a sharp knife removing the skin and soft tufts of spine leaving as much pulp as possible on the peyote button.
The two peyote buttons were sliced in sections which formed discs around 0.3mm thick. These wet fleshy segments were to be consumed and each peyote button to be eaten 30 minutes apart.
I began to chew on the first slice of peyote button with expectations of bitterness. How ever to my surprise the flesh was quite palatable compared to other substances consumed in the past. The taste similar to fresh green plant matter such as grass.
I ate all the segments of the first peyote button making sure they were thoroughly masticated in the mouth before swallowing the remains and this was completed a few hours before bed time on an empty stomach aside from the 3 pints of lager consumed early evening.
Shortly after consuming the first button the effects were quite pronounced. Previously I had been informed to consume between 6 to 10 peyote buttons yet I felt a noticable change in consciousness after a single button.
Thirty minutes later I consumed the second button the same as before, chewing vigourously until swallowing the pulp of the peyote. Around 10 minutes after I needed to prostrate on the bed. My eye lids began to feel heavy and unable to keep them open I closed them with out concern or worry as this came naturally during the experience.
This is when I realised my thoughts were consumed with the information I had received previously of the peyote experience and I felt I had neglected this sacred time where my thoughts were more heightened and reality firm. When I touched my face I felt smooth skin and the hard bones of the skull. Rather than feeling poisoned I was cured of my HPPD.
One moment long in to the experience up on opening my eyes the window in front of me shook with vibrations such as under an earthquake. This distressed me slightly but closing the eyes felt much easier than keeping the eyes open. During the time under the influence of the peyote I became progressively consumed by a deep trance.
There were no visual lights behind closed eyes nor any benign sensations. Peyote is state of bliss, euphoria, peace and trance. After several hours I fell asleep only to have the most vivid dream during sleep. I must have slept for 10 hours or more only to awake feeling slightly intoxicated either from the excessive sleep, the lager, or the peyote.
Peyote is a unique experience unlike any drug I had ever taken. The state of mind is perfect for spiritual work but not to be abused. Peyote commands respect and in a sense on peyote you feel the centuries of use surrounding you entering the experience.
After eating two peyote buttons I felt a connection to another reality or state of consciousness and also felt able to consume perhaps one or two more buttons of similar size. The suggestion of consuming 10 or even 20 buttons would in my impression make the individual have a significant trance where they may experience nothing but an hallucinary state. A vision quest. I would not recommend such amounts for the first time with peyote.
