Can you articulate how your brain allowed you to escape from that trap? Did K affect you on some low-level inarticulable level? Sincerely curious. Nihilism is a struggle for me!

So, what I can surmise is that I felt a deep connection to the universe. You _feel_ the ramifications of not only being a part of the universe, but also the part of the universe trying to understand it.

I'd say I was an atheist before, but now I feel there is something and that something is curious. It's like consciousness is independent of the universe, and didn't create the universe. Instead, it's trying to figure out the puzzle. So, this tiny spark of faith cures nihilism because I'm part of the consciousness, and as long I as wake up and solve by piece of the puzzle, there is meaning in that.

100% same feelings. But really it was never as much like this with K as it was much moreso with the shrooms.

I can totally see why K is an immediate relief for people who are immensely depressed. Within 1 hour it basically rips you away from your sense of self, that you were so unnecessarily attached to and that had all the depressive emotions with it.

Shrooms seem like they produce a guttal connective feeling to your surroundings and the natural world around you. Longer lasting imo.

That's beautiful. Thank you.
