    Geometry visions with shrooms

    Well,for start... sorry aboud the misleading title..maybe I will change that when I now how to call this thing.. ,..my question is aboud this you know...

    You all know ,when you take a large amound of shrooms..in my case Pans,you see these twirling thing when you close your eyes...
    (you can see them alot clearer with pans imo)

    I can see them very clear,but cannot draw them,don't know why.
    They are changing chape very gentle and give me alot of rest and peace when I look at them.

    How is it called ?
    Why is it's shape so simple,but yet complex ?
    ..after many years of experiance,I never asked this question,and want to know if the shape is the same with eveyone...

    I think I know the pattern u speak of. It's almost like a snowflake, slowly revolving..err meshing with the rest of the shapes (same shapes it seems) which are superimposed upon everything..The funny part is my CEV's do not usually take this form..I only see the pattern(lack of better words for me) when my eyes are open.

    It is strange..if I try to focus on it the pattern kind of disappears. Becomes more opaque. If I really try and nail it down it just goes away never to be seen sometimes for even quite few trips. Then one day it will return. I have been working on trying not to figure it out because it is really neat and I want to be able to see it. The only thing that I have ever seen which resembles it is some of the images of sacred geometry circles that I have seen in books and such. I have no dis illusions that I am privy to something like viewing sacred geometry shapes just because my mind is altered on pscilly. Even though I have never seen the pattern when on any other hallucinogen like mesc or lsd etc.

    Does the shape you see resemble a very delicate, intricate snowflake maybe?

    My CEV's are different in the way that they revolve and morph into different forma and cool stuf like that.

    I remember that I sometimes think(when high) that I am viewing the molecular pattern of life's building blocks or some thing like that..bah!...I dunno. It is cool that you brought it up though, thanks SC.

    I see similar shapes with my eyes closed. Especially if I have been watching tv, in a lit room etc. Mine are just more blue and green and minus the red and orange.

    Yeah its damn difficult to accurately remember visions for me after. I think because its so much more complex than I can normally grasp.
    When is someone going to invent a way to take screenshots of your field of view. I have wished I had this capability so many times. Just think of the image gallery we would have.

    Do you mean when it's a kaleidoscope of colored shapes that revolve? If you let your eyes wander to the middle ... after a while an eye appears and begins returning your gaze.

    I don't know if we are experiencing the same phenomena since I haven't used hallucinogens.

    A friend of mine described them as looking like the Independent truck company's logo. I see that quite a bit myself, as does he.

    Have you any idea were it's getting from ?
    It's always very smooth and exactly the same,like a computer made form.
    How long can you hold this vision Lazlo ?

    2-3 hours I suppose. Something like that.

    I don't know why most of the individuals I trip with all see the exact same pattern. I'm glad he made that comparison, because it's a damn close one. I guess that's just what their supposed to do. You can really see them well on the ceilings. Stacks of those patterns dropping down a foot or so from the ceiling. I love it!

    Great thread, SpaceCake!

    Has anyone ever wondered about the similarity of psilo-induced CEVs vs. what you see when you press your finger on your eyeball (with lid closed of course)?

    When I do this, I see a swirly, living, maze of geometric shapes, all tinged yellow-orange. The CEVs I get with psilo however are multi-colored, and include after-images of what I've been recently looking at. Anyone care to comment?

    BTW, check out this link for a "scholarly" discussion on CEVs and their potential origins.

    Hmm, I'm not seeing anything like that logo, so we must be talking about different things. I was just curious when it sounded like we had opened the same door with different keys.

    What I saw was colored shapes that periodically changed colors and rotated around a misty center.

    Hi, Chalel...which logo are you talking about?

    Maybe this link is better...talks about DXM and CEVs...

    Reminds me more of the song ''The Wheel'' on the Garcia Album, paticulary on mushrooms have seen peppermint like swirling wheels coast along my visuals.
    Usually corresponding to certain thoughts and experiences that act much like a swirling wheel in the way they end or begin.

    Thanks for the 2 links, they were very helpful. It's comforting to know that I'll have company when I'm wearing the straitjacket. Placing the heel of your palms against the undereyes and creating a vacuum provides the best pressure since it's evenly applied.

    I meant the logo that Laszlo posted of the Independent Truck Company.

    Nope, you're not the only one with the jacket

    I am fascinated with subjective effects like what we're discussing here...hope to see some more comments on this topic on this thread. In the meantime, I'm gonna try to do some animations in 3DS MAX and see if I can simulate some cevs...I imagine this is going to involve fractals and distortions a-la-space warps and the like. Should be fun.

    Cheers

    Some members of topia have animated GIFs which might give me some ideas. When I finish it (shouldn't be more than a few years), I'll make sure to post what I cope up with!

    It is a good subject. I'd be interested in an informal experiment using meditation to see how close it can match (probably end up with a super watered down version, but it's worth a try). What you're doing sounds cool. Can you post some stills? I'm not productive today, the most I'll do is watch the bull-riding.

    Yes, I'll post back on this thread when I have something to offer in the way of a simulation.

    That's surprising, because everyone I trip with sees them too.

    I don't see quite exactly the same shape, but instead smaller "sprites" that are more granular in texture and without a very distinct shape. Gotta bet individual differences at play here, along with a bunch of other stuff that we can't quantify easily.
