In a psychedelic experience I had many months ago (on mushrooms), I had a sudden vision that my reality was a flat projection upon a void of nothingness and that beneath the senses and the world of forms there's just a black abyss and I immediately became panicked and disoriented. My intention going into the trip was to confront my existential anxiety and to embrace what presented itself as the abyss in my trip, but when that thought came to me, I couldn't feel anything other than dread. I tried everything I could to relinquish control, but the thought of all source being nothing consumed me until the thought passed naturally. I could imagine the idea of a divine channel but all I could think was fear. As I had asked it to, my body split apart, revealing to me my psyche's source, but instead of a divine channel of pure intensity I was presented with pure absence, not even absence as a channel, absence as zero-intensity.
