What would you say is the synesthesia part though? When it happens I can see things, like my hands, the room around me etc. not “shapes” or “colors” or anything.
Yeah, that wouldn’t be synesthesia, and I’m not exactly sure what it would be. What I do know is that we don’t have enough understanding of how how our brains work, and we need more research on stuff like this. Is it a positive or negative experience when it happens to you?
I think it’s pretty cool. The first time it happened I thought I was just “naturally tripping”. Or that I had a “super power”. But after the second or third time I just felt like it couldn’t be a thing only I ever experienced. So I searched online and found some people talking about it, their experiences very similar to mine, and eventually someone linked to the video I shared above and talked about the secret Thai royal martial art. All in all, I feel it’s indeed an ability all humans can have. I’m not sure on the mechanics of it, but if even blind people can “see” like this, I feel it must be something more than just “seeing” with the eyes closed, you know?

I completely believe this. My patients who are on ketamine or psilocybin often say they discovered through psychedelics that everything they ever needed to heal was inside themselves the whole time. I think psychedelics simply give us access to what lies within. It’s also a state that can be achieved with things like Holotropic Breathwork.
It’s awesome that there are people who can connect with those abilities without psychedelics or any special preparation. Wish I was one of you!
Yeah me too, but brains are weird. There’s no reason not to think something that happens to some of us, but is clearly not common, can be “unlocked” or “stimulated” by taking a drug like psilocybin.
Ah no no, sure. I’m not saying shrooms can’t do stuff like that. But I think it’s a natural ability humans have, that we can learn to do without shrooms. Like, the people in the video I shared above literally learned it. Some are blind y’know.
Except this exact same thing has happened to me many times, while completely sober.
It’s totally possible to have synesthesia experiences without substances. Some people just have it, and you might be one of them.
