Wow! I'm glad I'm not alone at this feeling.
I also have that weird awareness of time moving through me.
One time I got to see it and it did help this mind understand the concept.
*trigger warning*
The first time I tried Salvia ( a few months ago)
By the way I'm not saying anyone should try. Just sharing what I experienced:
I wrote on my diary this so I could remember.(I've learn to write as some times I have no recollection of what an alter feels or thinks)
With eyes closed
I can see patterns of lilac and pink, swirls flowing on spirals to the beat of the music in my ipod
I was feeling something peaceful, languid and calm, except for a heightened feeling of my skin, where I thought the carpet fibers where too sharp and prickly.
This feeling went away and I totally lost time/space notion and begun staring at a great amount of brightly colored cards standing one behind each other on the manner of domino pieces. There was neon orange, yellow, green and purple mixing and mingling.
The singing on my ipod marked the beat and movement of the cards that danced in patterns formations, swirling.
I found myself in another world. Suddenly I wasn't just watching the cards but I was part of them or I was them
and started questioning if this was reality rather than my life as I know it
The cards where those who live inside me and the shell or body as the big Rolodex
The passing and moving like time and reality. So relative
Was priceless to watch from the shell, each and every card and the outside simultaneously.
