I was sitting outside facing my back yard, looking at a fig tree, the grass, and a sugarcane field in the back of my yard. After taking DMT, I realized (though nothing new), that all of nature works together like an engine, not like separate parts which work alone. The trees, the grass, the snakes, the squirrels, and my internal organs, all were one, and necessarily interrelated.
The grain in the wood of my back porch was beautiful, and I realized that it was not dead, that it was alive, in the sense that it was functioning as a purpose, as a back porch on which I was sitting and which was a part of my house. It was not yet rotten, but still very much alive and well.
At some point the fig trees leaves, the sugarcane, and the trees became menacing, all had become sharp as knives, and for a moment I got scared. I refused that interpretation and ‘flipped a switch’ to where I saw it all in such beauty and awe. I then realized that in nature there is indeed fear, intimidation, and death, but that it also contains beauty and life occurring simultaneously. Like a piece of art, both perspectives could or should be seen at once. They are equally true. There is not one or the other. I am one step closer to understanding the mystery of nature and our reality.
