warrensaged said:I also sometimes wonder if having experienced DMT sooner, would have led me down the true consciousness-curious path faster.
But like you said Jason, my learning to extract DMT, it becoming a part of my life & effecting the way I think about things, came after I truly tuned into my own spirituality/consciousness, a bit later on in my life.
SWIM has wondered about this from time to time. At the age of 18, he not only realizes, but understands that there is so much to learn, so much GROWTH in his future. It's a path that he started at 15 (before any entheogen was taken - before he even knew what an 'entheogen' was) and knows won't ever end. The only tangible 'end' will be death, that is how it is for every single one of us, SWIM believes. But back to the topic at hand - like stated, SWIM is only 18, and if only 2 years ago you were to tell him anything about DMT, entheogens, or personal growth as a result of them - he'd say "no way".
But in this thinking, he now understands that he is supremely blessed and thankful to be able to use, integrate, and reflect on all DMT has (and continues to have) to offer to him at such a young age. To comprehend the proper usage of DMT (for me) without having to get bucked off the horse (getting his ass handed to him - for foolish reasons [i.e. "let's get fucked up" that is so prevalent in SWIM's generation]) is truly wonderful. DMT will always stay with SWIM, so long as it has something to offer to him. And it always will - as SWIM always has something to offer to himself. There is always knowledge to be uncovered. It never really 'ends'.
SWIM is very glad he found the spice when he did. Before DMT, he was a very positive soul with some coherent 'direction' with how he wants to live; after DMT, that souls' positivity has increased exponentially (is that possible? ) and his pathway has become much more clear as it evolves.
Much love to you all.
