Humito's 10th experience with Salvia Divinorum,
4 and 6 small spoons 10x extract bought at Botanic-Art.

Finally I have my 10x extract Salvia Divinorum. It's not that the delivery took so long, but it took me a while before I could order. It has become clear to me that not everyone is as sensetive to Salvia as I am, so it's not just for me that I wanted a stronger extract. Mainly because I want to share others in the experience too.

I ordered by e-mail and I recieved it very qiuckly. The same day I e-mailed I got a telephone-call with the announcement that they recieved my order and that they would send it to me the next day. After the usual polite phrases like: thanks for your order etc., we had a nice conversation. It seemed a very pleasant person on the other side of the line and I'm looking forward to meet him. So I have send my e-mail on monday late afternoon, they posted it on tuesday and I got it on wednesday. My compliments to Botanic-Arts for the quick delivery.

I am really caught by the very special Salvia experience. In my eyes it's one of the most beautiful plantteachers I have ever seen. So I was very happy with my 10x extract. Ofcourse I hardly couldn't wait to try it, but I have waited two days until the right moment was there.

So it was friday-night when I felt like making a small trip. I was just coming down from 80mg pure MDMA, so it allready had been a beautiful night. Full of energy, nice people and a wonderfull feeling from the XTC. When I got home I ate something and listened to the cd from the Love Parade in Berlin, a party I will never forget. Just when I'm playing the cd I feel like I'm there again. I watched some tv, but to not disturb my upcoming Salvia-excursion I turned it off again.

I filled my waterpipe with 4 small spoons of my salvia-, previous coke-spoon. This is very little, because now, after 35 spoons, only 0.1 gr. is gone from my 1 gr. bottle. I didn't feel much, although it was obvious much stronger than my own leaves. Also than the 5x extract I used a couple of times. I did another 6 spoons into my pipe and kept in the smoke as long as possible. Although there wasn't a lot of smoke from such a small amount. So I still thought I didn't have enough, but I didn't take more and wanted to enjoy a not so hard salvia trip, wich always gives a nice bright and calm feeling.

I am laying my body in a comfortable position and then; an enormous pull, and the world has changed. Not vanished, but changed. I feel a strong physical reaction to this very small amount of smoke. My body is pushed in the couch and when I look up I see an indian bending over towards me. His facial expression is a bit startled. Just now he was sitting quietly on the poster on the wall. A drawing, and now I'm making him alive. He is looking at me with a severe look, as if he's asking me: why are you waking me to life? The indian is as astonished as I am. It is wonderful, clearly he is reaching with his head to me. He comes crawling out of the poster as a 3-dimensional image. When I close my eyes only one thing goes through my mind. It's an English sentence, I am thinking in English and I can't find any other words for it. "This is unbelievable, this is fucking unbelievable"! I feel something that seems like my body, but I don't know wether I'm thinking or speaking out loud. I think I'm talking out loud, but my girlfriend said later I didn't. It is indescribable beautiful and overwhelming and for 5 minutes I can only say: "This is unbelievable, this is fucking unbelievable"! Lady Salvia, show me what I need, show me that what I need to grow. Teach what I need to learn. Again I was completely overwhelmed by the strong effect of this 10x extract.

Slowly everything came back to normal again and even now I'm writing this, two days later, I'm still impressed. The indian is back on his poster again, but I think it will take a while before I can look at it in a normal way. I still wonder if I could have asked him some questions and I'm convinced that he would have answered also. When everything was back to normal again, I realized that the indian came from the poster on the wall. I have never before, not on my LSD- and mushroom-trips, had such vivid hallucinations.

Again Salvia Divinorum leaves me with many questions. Later I read something from somebody who said his view on Salvia as a teacher was changing. He had concluded that Salvia isn't learning him anything, but unlearning him things. He calls Salvia an unteacher, she is unlearning wrong ideas through the things she's showing you under the Salvia trance. I like this view on it, but it really is the same thing. Because you unlearn your wrong ways, you do learn. It's just that Lady Salvia is such a good teacher, she makes you think you're doing it all yourself.
