The Salvia Disconnection

[darkwolfunseen]

Okay, so for the last few days been really hitting the Salvia pretty hard, trying to get past the spacey feeling it gives, and just use it to explore. I noticed something in particular, essentially that high doses (20/30/40x) create this disconnect between your mind-thoughts and mind-body connection. An example would be, I would think my nose itches, and at the same time I would realize that I am scratching my nose, which I was unaware of while thinking about it.

Tested the theory differently by taking another high dose and trying to focus on counting to five using my fingers. Again noticed that although the timing of my thinking a number and holding up that corresponding finger matched, the two instances seemed isolated. What I'm theorizing here is that we can split brain function into two isolated portions (via cheesy "alien-hand" syndrome examples, etc), which means that I could feel, let's say my brain stem controlling my fingers, the left portion of my brain counting in my head, and the auditory portion processing it.

I know it sounds kind of weird, but was wondering if anyone has ever had similar experiences?

Although not exactly the same, I've read about something similar in my psychology text-books.
For most people it feels as if one first has a thought (for example 'I'm thirsty') and then executes the appropriate action (pick up a glass of water). But after doing some research it has to be concluded that we actually first put our muscles into action to pick up the glass and then get the thought that we are thirsty, the discrepancy being about 200ms (thought comes 200ms after one has initiated the movement) if I remember right.
Maybe this has something to do with what you experienced.

Actually that sounds pretty perfect. It kind of makes sense, considering muscle movement would involve more basic thought processing then the recognition of the need. Puts a new meaning to "gut feeling" though...

I've gotten the same, really. Though on high doses I'm freakin off into a nother world-- with people who have lights for veins.. and they're telling me to not give into astonishment and I'm like-- 'You've got to be frikken kidding me..' Heh. Joe Rogan... anyhow. Really-- I'm gone with higher doses.

But with lower doses.. I'm more at that slight 'Disconnect' field you were talking about. Like-- it's a bit like sleep paralysis for me, only way more intense and I'm able to control my body a bit more. I remember looking at the freckles on my arm (and I've a lot) and I seriously thought that some higher being who created me had arranged my freckles in some secret message-- so I was sitting there, trying to decode my arm. I actually noticed that a few of my frekles formed a peace sign, haha. And then I looked at that spot again when I was sober-- and low and behold-- there were freckles shaped like a peace sign. It was really trippy, heh.

It's just a thought.

I'll probably add to this thought when I'm a bit more awake.
