Erowid Experience Vaults: <strong>Salvia</strong> - A Breakthrough into the Raging Space of History<br />

<strong>The</strong> Presence leaves me after about 20 or 30 minutes. <strong>The</strong> focus dissipates, <strong>and</strong> I am left wondering at the<br />

implications of this strange encounter. Throughout I had remained surprisingly dispassionate. <strong>The</strong>re was no<br />

fear, no particular awe, though some remote part of me responded to the strangeness of the experience. It is<br />

only afterwards, patching language onto it, that I am forced to break it down <strong>and</strong> draw lines through it, losing<br />

myself in contemplation of it. You who are familiar with these things underst<strong>and</strong> this: it as I have described,<br />

<strong>and</strong> yet not like that at all. We do the best we can.<br />
