Solve et Coagula
Hello and good evening. I've viewed this site over the years and always cherished it as one of my most valuable resources when it comes to all things 'entheogenic'. I've put off registering here for long enough and right now, the need for a venue where I can engage in that variety of dialogue which lies at the heart of this site, has become increasingly obvious. I also hope to offer whatever I can in terms of useful information related to other fields of interest. Now, a little about myself:

I am from Southern California, about 20 miles out of Los Angeles and fall within the age range of 20 to 30 years old. I have a day job and I'm enrolled in College "full time" actively pursuing a doctorate in Psychology. My theoretical leaning is heavily 'Jungian' and as of right now, my plan includes eventually moving to Zurich to attend the Jung Institute and receive training on the good doctor's home turf. Apart from this, I identify as a Thelemic Magician and Mystic, following the legacy of the late British occultist Aleister Crowley. I am a student and/or member of both his order's, the A.'.A.'. and the Ordo Templi Orientis.

I am (almost) always honest in my answers- so within the bounds of good taste and anonymity I am more than willing to answer any and all questions you fellows may have about me, my life or my interests.

Yours in the work,

Eunuch.
 
Welcome to the Nexus Eunuch!

Thank you for introducing yourself and wanting to become a member of this site. Perhaps you could elaborate a bit on your experiences and ideas about psychedelics (dmt and others). What do you make of them? In what context do you use them or intend to use them?

Do you ever use them in any context related to your mystical path (thelema)? I am very interested in hearing reports about this kind of thing. I've always felt that psychedelics could be used in western mysticism just as much as they are used in the jungle mysticism. Unfortunately there is very little info to be found on this.

Be well and enjoy your journeys.

Thank you!

Like many, my first experiences were with marijuana. I smoked it nearly everyday throughout my teenage years in addition to several encounters with Psilocybin, it was generally positive. Though I became increasingly depressed due to other issues in my life at the time, I began abusing anything and everything I could get my hands on. Yet, everytime I would turn to what one would call an "entheogen", it wouldn't numb my senses like alcohol and opiates would. Even marijuana wasn't "enjoyable" anymore since when I smoked it, it wouldn't allow me to forget my problems, but instead would amplify my consciousness of them- turning it into an uncomfortable experience. I eventually quit using marijuana for the most part and began drinking more and more often, something I'm still struggling with in some ways.
I had dropped out of high school, gotten kicked out of my mothers home and was technically homeless for a period of time. I eventually met my girlfriend, who I've been with since- her brother and I started talking about psychadelics, which he'd never experienced before but told me about this substance called Dimethyltryptamine. I was hooked, picked up Rick Strassmans book "The Spirit Molecule" and set out on a quest to find this substance. Along the way, my library expanded into more diverse studies such as psychology and myth, magic and mysticism, the works of Terence Mckenna and many others. Eventually, I got ahold of some DMT from a tattoo artist that was doing an Alex Grey piece on my girlfriend's brother. Waterpipe + Homegrown Rosemary + DMT = Full blown contact with transdimensional entities and an encounter with what Philip K. Dick might have called: "Living Information."

This basically set the precedent for what my life has been up until now, I started taking my life, my mind and my spirit seriously. I got off "the streets", as it were, got into school, quite abusing those less-helpful substances (for the most part) and began practicing a spiritual system that incorporates the expansion of the mind in every dimension, throughout all aspects of my life.

Using psychadelics is a ritual in itself to me, but I have not utilized them outside their own context yet. Meaning I haven't thrown them in as an element to one of my already established practices, but I do plan to.

I too am from so. cal. i was at time interested in the oto and my friend was a member of the aa. the hermetic arts really helped me develop while i was sober for 15 years. I then found dmt and i knew that the other realms were real. I don't find myself looking at the occult for answers or method anymore(maybe i should :) ), i've been more interested in the simple teachings the plant spirits have revealed to me and the wonderful shaman/teachers i've met that love facilitating for these higher realms. i'm glad you decided to jump on board. this is my favorite place i've found in the webaverse. i can't tell how much i've learned here. I was able to go to the amazing costa rican jungle and drink ayahuasca with the secoya people as per antrocles suggestion. My life has been changed beyond compare from all i've learned here.
