intensity
++++ PLUS FOUR — A rare, peak state — a profound sense of clarity, connection or significance that stands apart from the ordinary intensity scale and is not simply a stronger version of the levels below it.
intensity
± PLUS/MINUS — Threshold — something may be present, but it's right at the edge of perception. A stronger experience would confirm it; otherwise it may be nothing.
About ten seconds after the last inhalation came a rocketing sense of speed, excitement, and awe that within another ten seconds reached an intensity beyond anything previously known: the feeling of the whole universe collapsing through awareness, everything perceived simultaneously, with no distance from which to observe it and little memory of the state afterward. Over the following minutes it settled into a strong but ordinary psychedelic space with visions of all beings interwoven and yearning toward shared transcendence, then eased to a mild alert glow accompanied by relief, wonder, and gratitude.
