The unification of visual and auditory energy, so that if you spoke in this translinguistic language, You could manifest something, like casting a spell, you know, effectively. To say it was to make it. Crazy stuff, you know, and –

No, no. We'd stopped taking mushrooms.

No, no. We'd stopped taking mushrooms.

No, no. We'd stopped taking mushrooms.

This was whatever we'd triggered. Yeah, we weren't taking mushrooms anymore. We didn't have to take mushrooms. This was not about being on mushrooms. We'd done the mushrooms, and maybe at toxic levels, maybe they were continuing in our system. But their half-life is short. They don't last days. They last hours. And so, no, this was some – if you want to look at it biochemically –

go the reductionist route for a minute. What did we do? We took a lot of mushrooms. We made this sound. We may have jammed open some system in the neural system, maybe prolonged monoamine oxidase inhibition or something like that. If we want to reach out for a reductionist explanation, it could have been some kind of serious neural disruption of our neurochemistry.

And eventually that re-equilibrated and we came down, more or less. It took a while. Even, well, So to continue this story and sort of how it played out, I was pretty much dissociated for a long time. Terrence was looking after me. All our companions were worried. And I always wanted to wander off. I wanted to go wander off because I needed to be out there healing people, right?

I mean, that was my thing. I had this messianic desire to share my powers, you know, and heal people. Well, one day I got away from them. And I climbed the bell tower of the mission. And I started ringing the bell. And the whole community was alarmed, you know. I mean, they already knew that these people were weird and there was very strange stuff going on.

We had really disrupted the peace of the community, but I broke that. And they was like, what the fuck? Who is this guy? He's clearly gone bananas. And so they – They said, you know, your friend is not in control and for his own good, we're going to confine him. The police – it was a police outpost as well as a mission. We're going to put him in this room here and keep him there for a while.

Hopefully, he'll fall down. He'll calm down. Not in any way, just trying to be helpful basically, not unkind. And I could care less because I wasn't really connected to it. And at the same time, about that time, one of our companions who had not participated in that, she was concerned and she was thinking that we needed to get out of there. And she also sprained her ankle rather badly.
