Shrooms trip report

[Antor8188]

@Leo Gura i realized absolute solipsism after a shrooms trip. I finally got to know i am god creating reality and everything and everyone else is imaginery. When i say they are imaginery i dont mean the wikepedia version of solipsism. When i say they are imaginery i am not thinking in terms of the wikipedia version of solipsism. When i say that they are imaginery i mean they are unified in my entire sphere of imagination and i am them and they are me and we are all imagining each other one consciousness is imagining everything. I learned i am immortal and birth and death are stories i made to deny i am god, i am infinity and i am love. I realised how everything is one and the seperation between subject and object is nothing but a mere illusion. I realized my friend meeting me yesterday is part of me typing right now because time and moments are illusions created to maintain a sequential reality. I realized everything is love and pure goodness because it all leads to the realization of god.

Those realizations are normal taking psychedelics, it's like the typical psychedelic realization when you can't really dissolve your ego.

Look: 

Solipsism during a psychedelic trip is a profound existential insight or delusion where the user feels their consciousness is the only absolute reality, and the entire universe—including other people—is merely a projection of their own mind. [1, 2]

How it Manifests

The "Dream" Realization: The world often feels like a highly elaborate, infinite video game or lucid dream that you are orchestrating, breaking down the barrier between subject and object. [1, 2]

Loss of "Other": During ego-dissolution, the distinction between the self and the environment completely blurs. If there is no "other," the mind concludes that everything must be self-generated. [1, 2, 3]

Why the Brain Does This

Psychedelics reduce activity in the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN), which is responsible for ego boundaries and distinguishing "me" from "the world." When the DMN goes offline, the brain struggles to categorize external stimuli, leading it to interpret all perceived reality as an extension of the observing consciousness.

Long-term Impact

Research indicates psychedelics frequently cause users to shift away from hard materialism toward metaphysical views like panpsychism (the belief that consciousness is a fundamental property of all matter) and solipsism/idealism. While often fascinating, this can be jarring and is sometimes categorized by therapists as part of "existential distress" or feelings of unreality if not properly integrated. [1, 2]
