Title: Kudzu's Glimpse of The All Pervasive Energy Continuum

Part 1:  Preparations

To save my fellow psychonauts the disappointment, this is not a post about a psychedelic induced state.  This is an experience I had during a four hour meditation session.  It happened almost 2 years ago, when I was going through some really rough times (I'll spare you the depressing details) and I needed a serious breakthrough in my life.
First, I sparked up a small pipe-full of my ganja to clear my mind and get rid of my anxiety.  Then I sat down on my bed, crossed my legs, and put on a blindfold.  Meditating is kind of like a game; you have to pop thoughts like little soap bubbles if you want to get really deep.  After about a half hour I started to see patterns, wavy, flowing, colorful ebbs that drifted upward.  I tried to just let them pass, as I didn't want to cling to anything however pleasant or terrifying it may be.  This is where I lost track of linear time.
My next vision was of going 'up'.  My perception framework of up, down, right, left, forward, and backward completely disappeared.

Part 2:  Things Get Weird

Suddenly, I see a glittering serpent of goliath proportions staring at me.  It is curled into a circle, with its head in the center.  Radiating from the center is the whole light spectrum.  The rainbow serpent is covered in what looks like glittering gems.  When we recognize each other, it uncurls itself so that all I can see is its head.  It opens its mouth and comes toward me.  I am not afraid, even though I know that this is my moment of death.  I pass through the rainbow serpent, and I am in the energy continuum.  All that I can see is a great eye, its outermost edge is infinity, and I am drawn into its pupil.  The eye you see the universe with is the eye you see the universe with.  This is when I get afraid.  When I remove my blindfold, I can see that the walls look as though they are made of an opaque liquid, flowing with the energy in the room.

Part 3:  Ramifications In The Earthly Domain

For days, even weeks, I feel a positive mood change.  This was the breakthrough I needed, a relief for my soul.  I talk about it openly with nearly everyone I know, and make some good connections as a result.  One chat I had stands out to me in memory though, I was talking about it with an open minded friend with similar experiences.  He smiled and nodded as I told him my tale.  The people with us at the time were less open minded, however.  It was like they had a mental block to it, and this is when I realized that I had entered the realm of 'taboo'.  Though I could tell they were listening, they had a glazed expression to their eyes, like they were trying to block it out.  Maybe it scared them.  Through the grapevine, you can often learn more about how someone thinks about you than you can talking to them face to face.  I had turned on, tuned in, but this is the moment that I learned you have to drop out.
