Psychonaut Stories

Waking up to the one who gives.

A poem that came to me After my only ego death

Azhryel is a young transguy looking for answers. Diagnosed with depression and anxiety at a young age, surrounded by Bible thumpers and conservatives his whole life, he can't help but feel there has to be something more to life. He's looking for answers to why he, and so many people around him go on living with a cloud of despair over their heads. Why should he go on living? Entering the real world of being an adult and in control of his own life after moving from his home town, Azhryel (or Ash as his friends call him) decides to drop acid with his friends for the celebration of his nineteenth birthday. It isn't the first time he's done LSD, but it is the first time he's ever experienced what many call "ego-death" so intensely and he's now convinced he understands everything, life, the universe, god, love, death, he can't help the surge of passion he now feels for life and the world around him and decides to start documenting his lessons and beliefs.

Cruisin' through the galaxy, solar winds at his back - meet The Drifter. Tie-died bandana, patchwork starsuit, thumb out to the cosmos... We're hitchhiking our way across the Universe - each encounter trippier and more surreal than the last!
