Unspeakable horrors

National Park by H.R Giger

Unspeakable horrors can be described as the experience of prolonged exposure to ineffable scenarios and hallucinatory content of a scary and/or traumatic nature which are often directly influenced by one's own personal fears. This can occur during high dose hallucinogenic experiences, particularly those in which the user is currently undergoing negative emotional stress and personal problems of an introspective nature.

Although the content which comprises these states are indescribable by their very nature and largely dependent upon the fears of those who experience them, certain themes and archetypes can manifest themselves. These are not limited to but may consist of:

Settings, sceneries, and landscapes of an intrinsically sinister and threatening nature - This can include scenes of suffering directed towards oneself or other people such as being tortured or the direct experience of personal fears. It can also include the visitation of hellish landscapes, ancient monolithic Lovecraftian architecture, the destruction of civilizations, and scenes in which one is being hunted as prey by malevolent creatures or forces.

Autonomous entities of an intrinsically sinister and threatening nature - This can include demons, deformed monstrosities, hooded figures, mocking entities and otherwise normal human beings who are often suffering with exposed internal organs.

Machinescapes of an intrinsically sinister and threatening nature - This can be described as functionally identical to the experience of machinescapes with the only difference being that its comprising parts almost exclusively consist of indescribably complex interlocking, ever-shifting biomechanical gore, organs, disembowelment, or body parts.

Geometry of an intrinsically sinister and threatening nature - The sub-components listed above are commonly comprised of and embedded within standard hallucinogenic geometry containing innately readable representations of pure conceptual fear, horror, and suffering which can be felt through all of the senses as they are perceived.

Fearing for the fabric of one's sanity - This can be described as feelings that one's current perception is so horrific that they will surely be left permanently insane with severe psychological damage. It often leaves people with a sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality which is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of any ordinary person.

The experience of this component and how it is interpreted by those who undergo it seems to differ wildly between people. While most individuals would find this state to be traumatizing if unprepared, many people find that, although terrifying, it is exhilarating and character building in equal measure. To ensure that one does not find themselves in this state unwittingly, heavy dosages of hallucinogens should be avoided without practice and one should always work their way up to the higher levels from low dosages in small increments as they feel comfortable doing so.
