coordinates are randomly accessible instantaneously.
Visual distortions are also reported, but they tend to be
vague, slippery, and ambiguous.
Many users report contact with hyperspatial entities,
spirits, or intelligences, but the nature of these entities is
rarely constant across different experiences. On the
contrary, it seems the plant uses the personality of the
explorer to present its message. Some have found that
Salvia transports the practitioner to a state of metaconsciousness
which seems to be both ancient and
familiar —possibly a reflection of the state which one
experiences before birth and after death. It has been
noticed that the distinction between the mental and
physical becomes rather fluid after ingesting Salvia. The
mind seems to be made of physical fields which can be
manipulated like muscles. By experimenting and flexing
these mental muscles, one will eventually become adept
at navigating through the Salvia dimension.
Another persistent theme in Salvia
trips is that of rotation. Several
explorers have reported a feeling
that is similar to the lateral rotation
which excessive alcohol
consumption brings about, yet not
as nauseating. At times this
rotation has been so powerful as to
form an "edge" somewhere inside
the body. I have at times even felt
this edge scraping along the roof of
my mouth. While startling, these
effects are generally not
unpleasant. Another common
observation in many Salvia trips is
that some kind of tube or flexible
tunnel appears which leads away
from the explorer like a hallway.
Some have related these tubes to
spokes on a wheel, others as
doorways to alternate dimensions.

One of the most
striking features
of a
breakthrough
Salvia
experience is
the distortion of
linear time.
Sometimes, it
seems as if one
simply escapes
linear time
altogether and
finds that all
temporal
coordinates are
randomly
