Leviathansbane, thanks for the reply, made me think about what and why my attitude is. Also the archer link, funny stuff.

I'm not worried about being converted to christianity or any one particular religion as much as being converted to something that may not in my best interests. Metashaman (thanks for your thoughtful post too) mentioned 5meo dmt and I've heard experienced aya people talk about 5meo as the one true path, the complete ego dissolution, connection with "source" and the realization of the knowledge that we are all one entity.

It's the idea of a drug experience giving, or forcing on me a philosophy, of making me believe this is the one true path that I find scary. It doesn't seem that different from a fundamentalist religious type saying, "I KNOW this is true, because GOD told me it is". At this stage I prefer to believe there are many valid paths, and my dmt experiences don't seem to discourage that atm. They may all be in the domain of "source", and maybe one day I'll have guts to try 5meo, but not yet. Aya feels much closer in the future though.

Re aya communicating through symbols, is that aspect different from dmt visuals? There seems to be a lot of symbolism there too ime.
