I’m putzing around a beer store while listening to Psychedelic Guys and The Jester story just made me embarrassingly laugh out loud in the quiet multiple times. “The Jester doesn’t exist” “Showing me a shape that was utterly impossible” “You’re only going to get an idea of The Jester. You’ll never actually lay eyes on him.” “He wants to bring The Jester’s talisman out so we can all understand the shapes and colors.” “You know his ass there. He’s been waiting the whole time wondering where you’ve been. I showed you my talisman and you peaced out. You don’t understand the geometry because you left.” I’m fucking dying.
No joke, i didn't really do DMT after seeing the Jester but he like, followed me into my mushroom trips. Never talked to me or anything but I'd see images of a Jester-like thing when I'd close my eyes and I'd automatically know i was about to have a bad trip. It happened like 3 mushroom trips in a row. I may be a Psychedelic guy.
I literally shouted "The Jester!" out loud in my car when Bryan said it. I never left the "waiting room" but when I closed my eyes I saw what looked like a high school students first Blender project version of a clown and it was warping and multiplying and stuff. It was floating in this ether that looked like a moving, colouring shifting Animal Collective album covers. It was fucking wild because my mental image abilities are normally awful but clear as day, there He was. I now want to interview people who have done DMT and find out how many of them have met the Jester.
Yeah the few times I’ve done psychedelics I just thought things looked cool, saw things “breathe” or sink into the ground. If I saw the Jester I would fucking end my life.
I am definitely one of those "psychedelics saved my life guys" but also I once had a bad mushroom trip where I thought I had died. Like I genuinely felt like I poisoned myself and left the mortal plane. I ended up creeping out the bathroom in my underwear, thinking I was a ghost, and accidentally woke up my roommate who was laying on the couch. I asked her if I was dead and she confirmed that I wasn't.
I once smoked weed that my giant stoner friends passed to me. It was laced with something because I kept on seeing Tetris shapes and putting together puzzles that weren’t there with my mind. It was incredibly uncomfortable and I was messed up for the next day or so. Decided that might be it for me.
Yeah I’ve done shrooms a few times but a very low amount to where it was mostly a nice body high with stuff “breathing” like Mick said. Anything more than that I’d be freaking out. I can barely do a weed anymore.
Whenever they cover stuff off erowid it just makes me so happy. It's both hilarious and i'm weirdly nostalgic for that forum. Any psychedelic/drug talk on this show reminds me of a younger stupider time in my life (and who i chose to surround myself with) that i'm reliveved is long, long over. I'm too old and too scared to dive into that anymore
I know a guy that used to be one of my best friends that became a satanist - libertarian atheist hits the nail on the head with his whole vibe lol
