Hello everyone! Sorry for the late introduction!

Hello everyone!

One day, in college, one of my good friends told me, "Hey have you ever done mushrooms?" I told him no but I was curious. He told me he had done then before, along with LSD. He told me to go to a website called Erowid and look it up. So I did my research, found guys like Terrence Mckenna and Albert Hoffman. I had found what I had been searching for all my life...From the beginning I was interested in the more spiritual implications of psychedelics and not so much the recreational use. To me it was spirituality I could see, touch, and quantify. Hearing them speak altered states of consciousness was astounding to me. I wanted to experience that for myself. So once I had a confident understanding of what I was about to ingest I ate an eighth of mushrooms and I began my journey down the rabbit hole.

The most memorable moment from the first time I did mushrooms was sitting on the couch tripping so hard that I could swear the couch was sitting in a desert in Arizona on a early morning sunrise. I could see it clear as day and even smell the moisture in the air and freshness of being outside of the city. After that night I was hooked to the psychedelic experience. I started reading about LSD more but never could find it. I had already been listening to TOOL a lot growing up but the lyrics never spoke to me like they did after I did mushrooms and listened to them. This made me wonder even more about the nature of reality and consciousness. What was going to happen to me when I die? Me, not my body. I started to use my extra time to read anything that could shed some light on to this matter. I began to see all the dots connect and I thought the idea of coincidence is used entirely to much to explain the unexplainable. After doing mushrooms for some time and lots of cannabis use I got the opportunity to use LSD at a TOOL concert of all places. Let me just say that was the most intense psychedelic experience of my life! I was so gone I felt I no longer had a body....By the end I was in tears of happiness:cry: . I started looking into Alex Grey and this inevitably led my to DMT. The I read as much as I could about it. I read the Spirit Molecule and loved the possible implications of it. I finally got my first opportunity to do it. :shock: It all happened so fast but I remember thinking I'm home...this is what I had been searching for all my life. I felt the One and I was the one. I didn't have any concept of time. I was no longer on Earth, but had been catapulted into another dimension. I knew that this was the way it is and this is the way it will always be. I had every answer to every question, without even knowing what those questions were all at ONCE!

Since then I have gone on to even try Iboga which was nowhere near as "nice" as DMT is. Strap yourself in for that one if you are ever so brave enough to do it. I then got into extracting DMT for my personal use. I'm most familiar with Vovin's TEK and have now started to get into salting. I've had friends ask about it and I encourage them to read as much as they can about it and talk a long time with them before I even offer them it. DMT is a big part of my life for a number of reasons. I could go on but I think we all know what it can do for us as we are all here converging on the same ideas. Its made me more open to things that I never would have thought possible. I find more answers to life's mysteries in the spiritual side of psychedelics than I have ever in any other part of society. Its helped me to see the bigger picture and the true interconnectedness of us all. I can honestly say I no longer fear death having done DMT and I cherish each day as if its my last. Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I look forward to interacting with you all on our journey to understanding who we are and what reality truly is!😁
 
Welcome friend!

Nice intro, I share many of your sentiments! Your curiosity and spiritual development will go far here... the nexus has given me so much over the last 6 months or so, I can easily say it has changed me, without it D and I would never have met 😁 :love:

I'm sure it will do the same for you! An awesome community with a plethora of respectful and extremely knowlegable people ready and willing to help.

-dream on!

*O*
 
Welcome.
Lol, I was reading McKenna's Invisible Landscape at the time of becoming interested in entheogens, in my early 20s. I didn't know where to find the sacred mushroom at the time and only knew of raves and lsd. I would have opted for the sacred mushroom instead of the former, but that's how my journey started.
The atmosphere of the mushroom I find very similar to n,n-dmt.
I have also ceremonied with Iboga root bark many years ago, which was life-changing and extremely therapeutic, even though I was naive + didn't do enough research on the sacrament at the time, I was lucky to have survived the initiation, as I was alone + it took me weeks to recover.
In Love + Light

Thank you! Yes I had researched a little bit into Iboga but nothing prepared me for the journey. It took me two whole days to physically recover and then about a week to re-assimilate my mind lol.
 
Was it Iboga hcl you ceremonied with or outer root bark?
Where was the setting for the ceremony + what was your experience like may I ask?

No problem, consider me the cliff notes ;) the info I shared is the info I gained from those wiser than I here on the Nexus... hope it made a difference :) I learn something new here every day.. and I don't imagine the lessons ever ending.

Merry xmas btw :D
 
Hello thirdeyeopen86,

Welcome to the Nexus. That was a great introduction essay - best I've read in awhile and I read a lot of them. I'm going ahead and casting a positive vote for Promotion and encourage other members to do the same.

Your description of DMT reminded me of my own in my early days. I was delighted to read that you do your own extractions and would LOVE to read your iboga trip report if you have one. My iboga trip was one of the most profound experiences of my entire life to date.

Wow, a member since March, 2011 - I'm so glad you decided to go ahead and formally introduce yourself. You are past due for promotion. Please actively post and I'm sure it will happen soon.

Thanks again and great to see you here introducing yourself - hope it means we'll see much more of you to come.
