Substance for the expansion of consciousness
Substances for the expansion of consciousness open up many strange associative spaces. Wildly undulating floods of ecstatically dancing hippies, wandering in the mud of Woodstock, hugging trees, people and sounds, as a disciple of Albert Hofmann's self-dissolution meeting himself in the light of orgiastic music, staggering in the fog of perception. Changing colours and intensifying sounds, nature experiences and feelings are just a few of the other aspects associated with consciousness-expanding substances. Here the philosophically unanswered question arises as to the border between reality and reality, as to the right degree of externally supplied stimuli, in order to create a reality for oneself which shapes reality as positively as possible, since it is our own thinking and acting which determines our perception and thus also our reality.
As PureNeugier aptly stated in her commentary, "Encens Flamboyant" radiates devout calm from the very first moment. Cool, spicy incense lies on the skin like a thin, fine-meshed fabric, through whose pores dark and amber-coloured resins shimmer, has a decelerating effect like an inner contemplation. In herbal medicine, mastic resin is said to have a meditative effect, incense even an almost sedative calming, mood-lightening effect. The incense acetate is even said to have a psychoactive effect, it is said to alleviate anxiety and depression and to give a pleasant warm feeling. The top note also reminds a bit of the smell of brown, fine-grained, slightly oily hashish, which brought me to the original association with psychoactive drugs.
After some time the fir balsam, which with its contained cis-bienol strongly resembles the scent of ambergris, becomes more established, gives the scent more woody-dry and balsamic-tobacco-like notes, while the incense decreases somewhat. This minimally warmer, at any time however rather unsweet impression remains to the smell over many hours, always well perceptible and thereby very closely.
"Encens Flamboyant" can help to switch off the inner autopilot of stressful everyday life, to stop the carousel of thoughts in order to be conscious in the here and now and thus to expand one's own consciousness to the extent that one directs the focus on oneself and one's own sensory perceptions in order to attain the necessary peace, to realize the beautiful things of life more consciously.
