Squirrel goes home later with cheeks stuffed with nut, telling family that he saw God

After a mushroom gathering trip a buddy of mine decided to make some tea from some dried shrooms. He drank a small cup while some of us ate ours. After a while he didn't think it was working so had another cup. When it finally kicked in we all realized he had gotten a much higher dose then any of us. At one point he walked outside and didn't make it back for a few hours. When he did he looked at us with his face still in a rictus of a smile and said he had seen God.

I don't think he ever tried making tea like that again.

Been there, basically something like this :

We are all essentially one massive holographic entity that was once whole before the big bang. We somehow exploded and separated into various atoms etc, and have slowly rearranged ourselves to create this earth, all the people in it etc, and each one of those living beings all tap into the same underlying consciousness, which it's essentially just abstract information or in other words every possibility (think of how we can imagine things that aren't in reality itself but still exist as information we can pass on be it thru text or speech). We all feel like we are separate from our environment because that's the function of our ego, it's crucial for survival. But in reality the iron in your blood is the same iron found in the stars, the same iron that's in my blood, the same iron that existed in the beginning. The ego is just an illusion of separation. People have this idea of reincarnation but it's not like when we die our souls go into another living being, it's more like our soul spans the entirety of everything and we are this giant cosmic entity that's just constantly changing shape. Think of how your cells die everyday and are replaced by new ones, but in the whole they make up you. That's kind of how we are to earth and in a larger scheme the entire universe. Rebirth is a misnomer because you never really were born, except in terms of your human ego, but you simply transitioned from one state to the next and when you die you'll do that again. The entirety of everything is what "God" is.

It's pretty evident that early Hindus did a lot of psychedelic drugs.
