The clothes you are wearing
may come alive especially if you look at the pattern of the texture
of the material the clothes are made of and the moving designs in
the patterned texture. This leads us into another kind of visual perception
change when looking at things and objects. You can clearly see the
texture of cloth, fabrics, linens, etc. You can even sense that you
see or feel the ultimate texture of all reality.
You can look at an object and see everything down to the finest details
that you never noticed before, as if your eyes are almost microscopes.
If you look at a piece of wood, you can see the texture and the grain
patterns of the wood will wiggle wildly. If you keep looking, you
can see intricately detailed little exotic scenes, faces and designs
of beauty moving, changing, merging, appearing and disappearing all
at that one spot that you are looking at. Sometimes, you can see these
kind of things at one spot on a wall or ceiling or even anything that
you look at.
If you look at a table that has nothing on it except for a tiny crumb
that you "normally" wouldn't notice, with LSD, you will
not only notice that little crumb, but it can stand out as an outstanding
feature of the room, with star quality. It might even shine and sparkle
like a diamond. This leads us to another type of visual perception
change when looking at things and objects. Every object and the whole
environment itself can shine, sparkle and be radiantly dazzling, glowing
and beautiful. Even dust, dirt and especially trash cans can sparkle
like jewels. You might see the streets as paved with gold and see
pebbles and rocks as diamonds.
This rich, gemlike quality
of everything makes the world a mystical Wonderland. You are feeling
greater than ever physically and emotionally, you have the timeless,
eternal feeling that it will go on forever, you see dazzling beauty
everywhere and if music is on, it can really rock the soul. It's all
sounding more and more like heaven, but there is still more before
it's heaven and we'll get to it later.
So far there hasn't been any
emphasis on being outdoors. The outdoors is like a different world
than the one that is indoors. You are out in the open, in nature and
with LSD, you can feel yourself near your roots. Many people have
preferred natural, outdoor settings for their trips. Beaches, rivers,
lakes, streams, mountains, forests and gardens are all good settings.
If you have been inside the whole time since taking the LSD, when
you go outside, the air will be fresher than it's ever been, clear,
clean and pure. We have not gotten into color yet, but I'll say here
that the grass will be the greenest that you have ever seen and the
sky the truest blue it can be. The atmosphere outside is rich, sensuous,
exotic and enchanting. It doesn't matter if it's raining or snowing.
The rain or snow can add to the beauty and mystery of everything.
With LSD, a rainy day is just as good as a sunny day, if not better.
Raindrops are very cute as they hit the pavement. The rain can be
so good that you won't want an umbrella. It can be a pleasure to feel
the rain hitting you and getting yourself all wet. Even if you don't
want to get wet, just watching the rain can be very fulfilling and
so can watching the snow come down. It's like someone who goes to
the ocean, looks out at the water and thinks things over.
You might be able to feel the
wind blowing right through you and it will seem like God's breath.
It can make you feel like your insides have been cleaned out and that
you have a brand new, fresh start to your life, with a clean slate
and you do.
