I laughed at the second one, when he hit the wall. C loves (well, he has a knack for finding them, loves may be a little strong) all those crappy police shows, and I think I've actually seen number one on tv already.

Are you kidding? That made my morning, Heebie.

You know, I've never been drunk enough to truly lose my balance, so it's not a very familiar motion. But yesterday I sat on the couch surfing the internets for too long with my foot folded beneath me, and it was totally asleep, and when I finally got up I basically pulled everything in #2 except actually making contact with the wall. Very disturbing but also hilarious.

Sort of tangential, but I was rather intrigued by the ovelapping-in-time splices from camera to camera as he moves out of frame. It almost makes it like a game, trying to reorent yourself, waiting for him to appear in the new frame and for things you saw in the last frame to happen.

Gravity also becomes a whole new experience on Ketamine. Balance is difficult, and walking requires intense concentration and an almost mechanical determinism. Vision is also drastically altered. Ketamine is not hallucinogenic in the classical sense, but while under the influence, vision becomes blurred and distorted as if anything you attempt to focus on is softly pushing your attention elsewhere. You can move around, grab things, etc., but is kind of like you are operating your body remotely while looking through a fishbowl. Light is oddly refracted and does not hit the retina cleanly - or, light hitting the retina is normal, but the translation to the brain is somewhat softened and distorted.

Needless to say, hazardous activities that require acute attention, like driving in traffic, riding a bike, performing surgery, etc. should not be attempted while under the influence of Ketamine.

Speech also becomes difficult while in the peak. Coming up with the simplest sentences, like "I am experiencing something very phenomenal right now" can take an immense amount of concentration and deliberate intention - partially because there is no tactile feedback on the lips, and partially because thoughts you might wish to express on Ketamine don't always translate quickly or easily into English.

Another problem is that while experiencing the phenomenon of "eternity," each thought, action, and word takes on a new and complex weight. Because you are so aware of the cause and effect relational web that transcends time and space, each word you speak seems to carry an immense weight and power. For instance, uttering a simple word like "slurp" can conjure images of the first creature who pulled itself from the primordial sea onto land, and the sound it made as it struggled through the thick mud on its evolutionary journey towards self-awareness. You not only get images, but an actual physical reliving of this event!

...Ketamine is a very "process oriented" entheogen. I would describe it as a "transdimensional information navigation device." To take this metaphor a step further, consider this: If mushrooms were an ornately carved chariot pulled by untamed horses, and LSD was a fancy, suped-up sporstcar, DMT would be an elfin-crafted hypersonic anti-grav device, and Ketamine would be a VR headset and bodysuit with a T-1 line into the universal database. It gives you TOTAL immersion, and navigation is accomplished purely by thought and body movement.

I've never actually found balance per se to be a problem on K, but the rest rings very true. Sometimes I had to actually grab on to my legs to move them. And speaking is a very weird experience. Formulating a sentence, saying it, and hearing yourself say it are three temporally distinct events.

The scary thing is that the only reason we know this is a machine translation is volume and speed. Back as an undergrad I used to help out struggling students with their French lit papers. The minimum requirement for those classes was three years undergrad French or the equivalent, but some still insisted on writing them in English and then translating with a dictionary. The typical results can be seen in the comments above.
