Hey everyone
I'm 17. Since i was 15, me and my friend became fascinated by the ideas of mind-alteration, consciousness, metaphysics and reality. Broad and maybe unrelated topics, but at the time, it just seemed like an unexplored, beyond fascinating realm. I don't know what triggered this drive, but after doing the readings that most aspiring psychonauts do, (McKenna, Phillip K. Dick...) we felt that if we didn't experience what it was that inspired these revelations and radical ideas, we were missing out. We took some lsd. Later I took some mushrooms. I've always been sensitive, pretty intelligent, and i realize that these qualities, combined with the willingness to experience these psychedelic episodes, and furthermore, analyze and attempt to read them, has defined my state of mind as of now. I feel open, nearly devoid of ego (however I cannot dismiss the possibility that I am deluding myself), but more than anything, open. It's this that I value most, and it's why I want to try DMT. I have to honest. A few years ago, I could not imagine that my perception of reality, of the creation of the universe, could be so radically altered and open to beautiful possibilities. Like alot of people, I was surrounded by people who suffered from the limited, polluted concepts of 'drugs' and 'psychedelics'. But like I said, I was curious, and that's all it took to make me realize what a shame it is that these ideas evoked by these substances, rather intentionally distorted by the government or genuinely feared for their mysterious nature, were too beautiful and complex to ignore. Of course, I am still young, and I pay attention to my own potential for self-delusion. After all, this realm, this way of life, this state of mind, is incredibly attractive to anyone who is curious about the meaning of life, the fabric of space time, the death of ego...But the thing is, everything I know and experience about this milieu only reinforces my belief that this is the way. When I say, this is the way, I'm talking about my belief in a beautifully complex truth, whether its going to be revealed at TimeWave zero, or is fragmented over thousands of years in the minds of great philosophers and shamans, or is co-existing in another dimension waiting for us to explore, I don't know, obviously, but I think it is likely that there is a truth that we cannot begin to imagine. In the meantime, while I live in this world, full of doubts, questions, self-reflective episodes of growth, revelations, invalid theories, etc, I want to try DMT. That simple. I'm in no rush, but it's something I have to do, in the same way a scientist feels compelled to explore the universe with a telescope.
So guys, in the same way that I cannot put my experiences into words in a way that would do justice to them, I cannot say how happy I am that there is a massive culture focussed around this state of mind, and this search for a truth. I just joined and keep a log of my dreams, theories, thoughts, and hope to share it with you. I'll be doing DMT very soon and will report my experience ASAP
