That was my first thought, too. But there are other elements which are relevant:

I could literally walk my eyes along the roots, up and down, they were static and didn't move an inch.

And during an earlier experience (and to a good extent during the 2-3 following days), using about 150ug only, I felt something like a strong connection with the tree I was standing in front of. It was like we were communicating (for as long as I wanted), but not like an exchange of sentences, rather like a constant bi-directional stream of information, or better: a "mutual understanding without speaking/thinking".

This "shared state of being/feeling" was extended to the roots of the tree: I could feel their presence in the ground (but not see them yet, which changed later, as stated above). And I had that feeling whenever I passed a tree during the 2-3 following days.

There is definitely a lot going on (or possible) between humans and other forms of life, which we are currently missing. And I'm sure our spiritual dimension is definitely part of the mix. So if you're into meditation, keep it up.



There's nothing in your extra elements that precludes it was just your brain filling in the details. I think you're underestimating how capable we are of hallucinating things in proper spatial placing, even with motion going on. The strong connection feeling is often felt by LSD users, but is a separate phenomenon from being able to see through solid objects (the ground), and is just a feeling that your brain can arbitrarily assign to anything, including hallucinated objects. Ex. you can easily feel connected to things in dreams that have never existed in real life at all.

I'm all for meditation and realization of the interconnected nature of all life, though. Keep at it.
