Strangeling
Rising Star
Namaste Nexians,
If I may, I would like to explain the long and winding road that has brought me to your door step. I have had a decent amount of experience with classic entheogens such as mushrooms and acid, more acid then mushrooms actually. Also in my life thus far I have only smoked the spice 3 times. The first 2 times seemed like just a taste, just scratching the surface. The third time I paid special attention to set and setting as well as having enough spice to gaurantee an experience, after the 3rd or 4th inhilation my whole reality began to vibrate and my visual field was altered so rapidly I was barely able to cope. A strange hum filled my conciousness as my eyes closed...
and then as suddenly as it came it was gone.
Later I would equate this experience to 'being brought to the door, but not entering'. I thought if this was the extent of the DMT experience then I dont think I want to go any further. And until the end of summer 2011 I didn't, but then I was given an oportunity to try two Ayahuasca analogs. Psychotria viridis + syrian rue and the next day MHRB + syrian rue.
The first attempt 12g of chacruna and 8g of rue was boiled together for 3hrs and produced a calming sedative effect...but little more. Again it was disappointing, I had some experience with the rue before hand had an idea of what an MAOI can do (I made a 10g rue tea and dropped acid...THIS WAS A BAD IDEA DO NOT ATTEMPT, ALMOST DIED!!!). So I knew it wasn't the MAO inhibition in question, but the DMT content in the leaves.
So the next day I was determined to push it as far as I could. I decided to put the syrian rue into 8 one gram capsules and brew 10g of MHRB into one cup, I THOUGHT:roll: I had done enough research, the resulting trip is one of the reasons why I am hear at nexus...
I dont even know how long it had been since I had swallowed the capsules and drank the brew, all I knew was rapture and vomit. I shed every ounce of flesh, senses, reason, I shot backwards, far back. Through history, through time, Time? I felt the suffering, joy, ecstasy all in the same instant. I wept, my body wept, my soul shrieked...
And when my sitter asked what was wrong...All I could say was 'I asked for this...why am I so stupid...why did I asked for this' and continued weeping.
Hours passed, slowly I learned, I learned about respect and compassion.One I had to earn and one I had to cultivate. As I came back to my self I felt the brew/spirit leave me, taking with it most of the wonderful wisdom it bestowed on me to fortify me for the experience. Nearest I could figure I had'nt earned those gifts yet. But I was not empty, I was filled to the brim with gratitude. Thank You!
Ever since I had been working with the brew off and on for about six months now, I found myself alienating most of my friends who weren't really keen on pushing the boundaries of their perception. I dont want to burden them with my wacky ideas, but I found more and more the need to share these concepts. And after a particularly heavy experience in January (after which I stop all exploration ) I have been lurking in the forums here taking in more info(up till recently I thought 10g of MHRB was in the medium range:roll: ) in order to prevent such heavy experiences if I decide to explore again.
Thanks for being there.
