Rising Star
"First Attempt: Tried a small amount of powder in a glass pipe specifically blown to use DMT. Was extremely anxious, scared, and worried about the potential effects. I heated it up and smoked one puff, held it in, then quickly put aside the pipe. Laid back, covered my eyes, and nothing happened. Second Attempt: Tried about three times as much crystal powder, smoking frequently this time. Must have inhaled at least a dozen times, and kept smoking until effects were felt. Was much more comfortable this time, and began to feel mild effects. Not entirely sure if it was placebo effects or not. Felt a slight consciousness expansion, subtle closed-eyed geometrical patterns, and very peaceful thoughts. The experience was far more peaceful and calming than I expected! I felt like I was exercising my brain. After a few minutes however, the effects quickly went away, and was left with a very light throbbing head. Not a headache, but more like someone pressing their fingers against my temples. Third Attempt: Tried in the morning at about 9:15 am. Used a different method, chucked out the ruined glass pipe, and tried a stone pipe. Layered leaves of basil: one thin layer above a screen, a chunk of DMT in the middle, and a large layer on top to protect against the flame. Upon inhaling a few tokes, a sudden psychedelic rush came on, causing reality to wobble geometrically. After closing my eyes I could see amazing morphing geometrical patterns. The initial patterns had a lot of “eyes”, akin to Eastern mythology. The effect faded quickly after a few minutes, but I remained glowing. The sunlight and the presence of Sera helped a lot. She was very angelic. Watching her, I could see her hair “flow” and she looked extremely beautiful. This time was much more intense, but not over a threshold. The substance is magical, heavenly in nature. It is unlike any drug or expectation I had. The state does not feel drug-induced. I still retained full consciousness and awareness, and no alteration of mood, other than amazement at the visuals. Instead of a drug, it seems more like an elevation to a higher natural state. I am ready for a high dose. Fourth Attempt: This was it! I loaded up the remaining dose and smoked it. The effects came on as a rush. I think I may have come to the “second” level. I lost all concept of myself, of everything around me. I was in this space. My mind, it seemed. But it was real, solid. Three dimensional, I could see what looked like my own heart, washing over with waves of psychedelic multicolored patterns. I couldn't look away, not really. My eyes were already closed. I could shift the focus of my consciousness around to try to look away. I wanted to see more, other things. I was in a space, my own mind, and I was saying “No, dont come to me, I'm not ready yet. I dont want to meet anyone!” In fear of some aliens or something scary that I had read about. I was alone in this space. It was stunning. It was mostly beautiful but I was concerned about my heart, which seemed to have a malicious streak to it. It wasn't pure. It relished the fact that I was staring at it, and I couldn't look away. It hypnotized me. Maybe it wasn't my heart, but it was connected to everything, in weaving strands that were pulsing with geometrical patterns. I seemed completely “normal”. I wasn't “high”. I wasn't feeling any different. It's just that I was in a different state, seeing different things. It seemed completely real, like I was seeing another dimension. I can't believe it! It wore off very quickly, in a matter of minutes, but at one point I was stuck in a timeless moment. I ran upstairs and exclaimed everything to Sera, and she was amazed. She said I was completely coherent and rational. I was so excited and awe-struck by the whole thing, I was waving my arms around and very emotional." Note: the above were notes that some guy wanted me to post for him. He shall remain nameless. hehe
The fact that my mind "expanded" to witness a "space" larger than my own mind was very liberating. It is proof to me that there are things beyond this life, that can be experienced here and now by anyone rich or poor, and I find that exciting and freeing. I didn't feel like the "heart" was an octopus, or even an external entity. It didn't move. It was definitely either my heart or the equivalent part of my brain (pineal?). It was definitely part of me. The strands represented connections to other parts of me. I did not meet any entities. At one brief point I felt some presence calling from far away, but I immediately told it to go away. Another thing I forgot to mention: how my "ego" disappeared piece by piece during the trip. The concept of all physical things around me disappearing one by one. The concept of a computer beside me vanished. The realization of footsteps of my loved one simply popped out. It was neat, and made me realize, the selfishness and inherent negativity of my thoughts. I was aware that they were disappearing. It was a little scary too. As for further attempts, it is not in the cards anytime soon. I only stumbled upon the stuff out of pure luck. I'll be sure to report back any new experiences here.
