I must respectfully disagree: My experiences vary quite a bit, from incredibly funny, sexual, totally alien-technical, to personally meaningful and deeply spiritual. The spiritual experiences aren’t too frequent, but when they come, it’s very clear that I’ve “broken through a barrier”. It is not “what I make of it”. It is presented quite clearly and unambiguously. And upon return, the usual response is to drop to my knees crying and giving thanks, filled with gratitude for being given the chance to participate. These kinds of experiences are the deepest experiences I have ever had in my life - with or without DMT.KwisatzHaderach said:Spirituality is what you make of it. It's not like everyone is having this "one" spiritual trip when they feel that they've broken through this barrier. It's just about being open to see yourself and the world in new perspectives, which can allow someone to possibly draw more insight from things/situations normally taken for granted. And when this type of introspection allows one to transcend beyond the prior definition of oneself into a new means of experience and living, they've made their trip "spiritual".

The first time I ever had such an experience was also the first time I used sublingual harmalas (about 15mg caapi copy). Maybe it was coincidence, but I’ve been pre-dosing with harmalas ever since.

EXACTLY!
Ash said:It feels sinister, because I feel like all it's trying to do is make me consentrate on the visuals in a manipulating way.
Part of the deal we make whenever we take DMT is that we get the DMT experience and “they” get us. I always try to keep that in mind – I’m not just receiving, I’m also giving. And what I’m giving is not insignificant: I’m giving everything – my identity, my mind, and my body. It requires a certain amount of trust to go into an experience with that understanding, and I believe it’s necessary to accept the two-way nature of the experience.Ash said:But you cannot tell, and neither can anyone else, if all entities have good intentions. It's really just my perception, but it's also a perception to think it can only be good, don't you agree? Who's to say there isn't aleins lightyears away trying to maniuplate us when they find away into a consciousness? Ehhhh?
