Note that this is my first psychedelic and it was a good setting and I had a good sitter but I had a terrible bong and didn't even clear the 'bowl', just about half of it. I take the first rip of my salvia and I'm outside on my friends back porch area and it's raining outside. He asks one last question after I take the hit and I exhale it so I can tell him how to tripsit (slightly annoyed as I previously explained it to him) so I tell him to make sure to I'm alright and I think he asks again after my second hit. I hold it in for roughly 20 seconds and my friend says I can do it inside because its raining.

I'm sitting on his couch and I'm about to clear the rest of the salvia and it hits me so quickly it's as if I was physically punched in the face and the bong and lighter each in their respective hand were halfway to me when my friend tells me after I had an emotionless look of stun on my face, not as if I had run into a bear on a trail, but just pure stun.I take the bong and lighter up to me and everything seemed to split into two in it's own way, I feel myself resting on the couch in two areas, my back and my butt. This is important because when I lose sense of direction it was the only thing that made sense.

My friend asks me if I'm ok and I say some words but it sounds like a foreign language to me. I focus on the strange perspective shift taking place and I notice a washcloth under a water bottle, it was the bong, and my friend moving around. I see him stare at me as he moves to the left of me to do something there and it doesn't freak me out I'm just sitting there wondering why he's moving around. For a split second I train my mind on his entity and I see a color within him and the only way to describe the color is if you close one of your eyes and put press your finger on it, the white intense color that pops up on the opposite side of where you put your finger.

When I look at him I don’t just interpret with my eyes because they were apparently completely still but I perceive him with my mind and I see humanity, emotions, vibes and everything associated with being human while myself is too confused and feels like it’s a new concept. My perspective shift leads to me falling but not exactly into a couch cushion as when 3rd person starts to kick in I no longer see myself there on the couch anymore. The part where things split into two is now active, no longer me but a disembodied view that is me floats up and backwards while where the wall is supposed to be behind me is not there, just another couch with a purple table in front of it in the room I was sitting in was right there. It kept zooming out and I figure out that I am a body that can move through the sensation of touch I'm feeling from sitting down so I test the waters a little and get up, I get halfway up off the couch and sit back down satisfied that I have a body because in some bizarre sense it reassured me I was there.

20-30 seconds pass and the cloud of confusion lifts a little and I recognize the objects in front of me. Things are still zooming out and just before this happens my friend left the room which initially set off the zooming out perspective. There's a table in front of me and it I go further away from it and there it is again and I'm sitting right where I was again. Reality having an almost tumbling sensation in a rotational 4 dimensional way that I couldn’t and can't still comprehend for the life of me. It slows down to a stop and I'm sitting on the couch with a purple table in front of me yet again but this time my view is mine and there's zooming out. I feel hot and cold at the same time and I'm completely at a loss of words. I go off to find my friend in the other room watching something and my body feels extremely uncomfortable, on top of that I feel extremely stoned, a truly unpleasant after affect. This goes away after a minute or two and the afterglow kicks, euphoria and excitement take over as I try to explain it to my friend as I feel very good and comfortable.

According to my friend I was sitting there for 2 minutes stunned before I came to him and I was semi clearheaded. I didn’t see colors more vivid, in fact I was in such deep thought that they dimmed feeling almost superficial. I've been reflecting on it for about a week now and I've come to the conclusion that I saw time go by, literally, frame by frame and to appreciate existing and reality as it's a beautiful thing that shouldn't be taken for granted. How anyone does that immediately after their trip again has figurative balls of steel.
