This entry delves into my second experience with mushrooms, one that contrasted with the experience I had written in a previous letter. Unlike my first encounter, which involved someone else, this time, I embarked on the journey alone, allowing for deeper introspection. Furthermore, while my initial experimentation with shrooms was driven by curiosity, this particular experience stemmed from a genuine desire to seek answers and gain clarity in my life. To provide some context, I was at a crossroads regarding my career path. Uncertainty loomed over me as I contemplated whether to secure funding for my next film or explore new opportunities outside filmmaking. In my naivety, I believed mushrooms could provide the elusive answer—a potentially dangerous shortcut to truth.

Before consuming the shrooms, I prayed and meditated, seeking protection and guidance. Learning from my previous experience, I delved deeper into the subject of solo mushroom journeys. Advice from shamans and fellow consciousness seekers emphasized the importance of being in a positive mental state and invoking divine protection. The enigmatic properties of psychedelics like shrooms, LSD, and DMT enable us to transcend our perceived reality of time and space, allowing glimpses into the spiritual realm. These experiences, beyond our conscious control, can be profoundly transformative, but they also carry the risk of turning into challenging or "bad" trips.

After drinking the tea infused with mushrooms, I felt drawn to spend the day in a park, connecting with nature. I rode my bike there, following an intuitive urge. A persistent voice was in my mind, urging me to lie down beneath a tree.Initially, I resisted this thought, but its persistence was unwavering. Eventually, I chose to heed its guidance and settled under the tree. As I closed my eyes, a surge of powerful visions and information flooded my consciousness. I distinctly recall a voice – some entity - enlightening me about the grave destruction humans are causing to our Earth. While I had been vaguely aware of this issue, the revelation during this experience amplified my comprehension of the severity of the damage—an alarming wake-up call. I recall the entity conveying to me a startling notion—that due to the unsustainable destruction we are inflicting upon our planet, we may eventually have no choice but to seek refuge on Mars. At first, I found this revelation amusing as I struggled to comprehend how humans could possibly survive and thrive in such inhospitable conditions on a different planet. However, the voice urged me to observe my hands and legs closely. As I directed my gaze downward, I beheld a sight that can only be described as the universe encapsulated within my body. It shimmered in vivid shades of blue, pulsating with vibrant life. I stood in awe, unable to fathom the extraordinary spectacle before me. A thought crossed my mind: "Am I an alien?" It was at this juncture that the trip began to enter uncertain territory.

In a whirlwind of profound introspection, my entire life flashed before my eyes, with seemingly disparate circumstances aligning to validate this bewildering question. Instances of television shows, past experiences, and synchronicities associated with extraterrestrial themes flooded my consciousness. The entity further revealed that the world extends far beyond its surface appearance. Our DNA had apparently undergone recent modifications to equip us to venture beyond Earth and inhabit other realms. Overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the information I received, I realized my quest for answers regarding my future remained unanswered. I posed the question to the entity, desperately seeking guidance. Its response was simple yet profound: "Do whatever you want; nothing can impede you from achieving your goals." And just like that, the trip concluded, leaving me in contemplation and wonder.

Reflecting upon this encounter, I must admit that I cannot assert with certainty the absolute truthfulness of the information presented to me. It is plausible that divine protection shielded me, but it is also conceivable that I may have encountered the deceptive light known as Lucifer or even some misleading entity. It is widely acknowledged that the psychedelic experience can expose us to many deceptive entities that may present us with misleading truths, leading us astray from our intended path. These entities are often referred to as "Tricksters" by psychedelic researchers. Following that profound experience, I find myself deeply compelled to safeguard our environment and honor the beauty of nature. As human beings, we have been entrusted with the privilege of inhabiting this magnificent Earth. However, our society has often exploited its resources relentlessly, pursuing unfettered capitalism and excessive consumerism. It is crucial that we adopt a mindset of reciprocity, giving back to our environment in meaningful ways. This goes beyond mere carbon taxes – which I am against - and necessitates a complete shift in our collective behavior.

The potential alteration of my DNA remains an enigma that requires further investigation. I cannot definitively confirm or refute this notion without delving into additional research and the passage of time. Only with the progression of time will we genuinely ascertain the veracity of such claims. As I gained further insights later in life, I discovered that such experiences tend to sow the seeds of curiosity rather than provide definitive answers, setting us on an ongoing quest for deeper understanding and down a rabbit hole. Sometimes, it is wiser to refrain from seeking shortcuts to truth and instead allow wisdom to unfold naturally when we are truly prepared to receive it.
