I have had some plant-induced moments that gave not even the option to let go.. I have come to discover that some things can really be even WORSE than they seem, and its not always just about "a good trip"
sometimes you have to have a seriously bad fucking time, sometimes the tunnel has to be terrifyingly dark in order to full comprehend the greatness of the light at the end.. and sometimes these things can last for days.. the two most intense vision quests I ever went on were short and long, one was no longer than three minutes that was the most frightening glimpse into eternity I have ever experienced as well as a complete destruction of reality into a true, pure hallucination which was in fact a vision of a higher reality but one which the soul has not control, no mobility and is trapped by the immensity of the experience into deer in the headlights moment.. I have never been so absolutely afraid of anything in my entire life..
I have also seen a lot of people freak out, its Murphy's Law and over a long enough period of time and exposure you will see it happen numerous times. Initially in psychedelia everything is always smooth, polished and perfect, but as you gain personal power from shattering your ego and limited sense of perception of larger reality you will begin to have more impacting experiences. It doesn't necessarily take plants or drugs by the way, monks and scientists alike know of the ecstasy of expanding your consciousness but also the frightening reality of a vision that is expanding to fast..
