I hope it isn't equally audacious but I am using this name here, now. :)

holy shit!! The story of Actaeon is EXACTLY, EXACTLY what happened to me the last time I took (or will ever take) salvia. I was Actaeon, I guess. I found her on the highest plane and was basically slapped in the face, berated for my audacious questions on life, etc. etc. Just no stags, dogs, or any imagery, it was devoid from symbols or sensory input.

THANK YOU. I never knew the story of Actaeon but I have truly lived (and died) it, it's the one drug experience I think about so seriously... was 3 years ago. Never stopped questioning if I really talked to her or not!
