Hello everyone!
I've been lurking on this site for at least a month now. I popped in on chat once and I've made one post re: electronic music, but I feel it's time for me to properly introduce myself.
I first heard about the spice and the entities about 10 years ago. I'm now 42 years old and back when in college I experimented with LSD, shrooms, ecstacy and a bunch of other stuff. Even though I had friends who did the same, and I was a rave DJ for a while, I honestly couldn't find anyone who had heard of DMT, and those that had heard of it, couldn't get it.
A few years ago, a friend and I just decided we would try to extract it ourselves. Well, to make a long story short, we ordered some mimosa hostilis on the net, and we received something that looked like pink baby powder. We had no idea what it was supposed to be like, and we proceeded with the extraction.. Many hours and many dollars later, we ended up with nothing.
Finally about 2 years ago, a friend had some and hooked me up. I went to go do it with the buddy that extracted with me, but by then his wife was pregnant with second child and timing wasn't right for us.
I was really scared to try by myself, and I had no friends who were into this kind of thing anymore. Everyone had either grown up or moved out of town. So the stuff sat for a couple years in my storage closet.
I don't know what finally brought it back to my mind, but I pulled it out about a month ago.
I had the original stuff from years ago, and I had procured another batch.
My friend's kids were a little older now, and he was able to join me. The funny thing is, While I was waiting for him, I couldn't wait any longer! I blasted off by myself using a 'The Machine'. I'm not sure how many mg I successfully vaped, but I instantly took off, and I heard the rising tone, and I thought to myself, OMG, I can't believe this, I just meant to dip my toes, not full HYPERSPACE!!
Well, I don't think I broke through, b/c the whole time I was aware of what was going on.
I've tried so many times over the last month and I haven't broke through yet, all out of my own fear! I just can't bring myself to do 3 hits!
I had an amazing experience today, layering trips on top of each other, always doing another hit before coming all the way back. It was beautiful.
I feel I will break through soon, especially after the beautiful experience today.
I have a couple of questions though, or statements that I would like comments on:
I have found that I prefer to be in a bright setting. I started off in candle light, or a very dimly lit room. To me, it felt too dark. Figuratively and literally. Maybe I have such a strong association with the word 'dark'. I kept doing it in the dark, but then one time for whatever reason, it was much lighter in the room and I really enjoyed it better.
So now, I do it with all the lights on in the day, and I have beautiful bright positive experiences. I also did it right after a morning time 40 minute run, dipped my feet in the ocean, and then came home and showered and got back into bed with the lights on. No food whatsoever in my stomach. It was the first thing of the day for me besides the run. And I was by myself.
My question I guess is, does anyone else like lit rooms vs. dark room?
And music, I like to have some music on, like Makyo, four tet, or something like that.
I know I have not broken through yet, and I am wondering, will the light and music mess up a full blown HYPERSPACE journey?
Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble on. I really like this site, thanks to all of you who contribute. There is great knowledge on here, and great art too! It's nice to have a virtual family, since I don't have very many people to share with in the real world here.
