That's funny, my first psychedelic was Salvia too. Maybe because it's legal. Somehow thought I was being responsible by starting with Salvia. Thought it had to be exxagerating when the commercial packaging said "will rip your reality to shreds". Nope, checked out. Actually an understatement lol.

But yeah, how do these alien trips work? I've never done penis envy mushrooms but I have done regular magic mushrooms. Hard to imagine meeting entities on only shrooms.

Haha. Well, salvia is kind of in a league of it's own. Or perhaps it's the true final boss. It was the first psychedelic substance I ever took and haven't been able to get my hands on it since. I feel like after years of LSD, psilocybin, and DMT experiences all having a distinct connection, maybe the first major cut scene that led to the first turn based jrpg battle with salvia was foreshadowing the ultimate ending boss battle.

Last few years of tripping for me have all included something about aliens.

I've certainly had different themes of trips that relate to each other, however, I've also had very contradictory spiritual experiences. For example, it's hard to take Salvia and then take LSD and think that they are both showing you the nature of reality lol. If one of them is, I certainly hope it's not Salvia, because that shit was no good.

But yeah, can't say I've ever experienced anything related to aliens on any of my trips though.

Believing you is not the issue. I believe you had that experience. I don't believe that experience revealed anything about the true nature of reality. Psychedelic drugs can and do cause delusional experiences. They may feel realer than reality, but that's the nature of delusions. If they didn't feel real, then it wouldn't be a delusion.

Source: Have tripped hundreds of times. Have "discovered" the true nature of reality dozens of times. Looking back, the revelations are always totally different from each other, it's just at the time that it feels the same.
