Hello from NYC

[☮]

As I write this, I am sat in a coffee shop in New York. I see all of these people, including myself, enjoying the product of a natural plant. This plant is not a DMT producing plant, but a plant that produces a different kind of drug. A one which the government allows us to use because it keeps the population in an alert and problem solving state of consciousness. That drug is coffee.

I have been interested in DMT, more specifically Ayahuasca, for quite some time now, although I have not had the opportunity to ingest the wonderful natural product. Instead of jointing the Nexus, I decided to lurk around for a while, and try to gain as much information as possible before joining, in order to prevent reducing the quality of threads in this community. Although there is only so much lurking one can do, without getting answers to many questions you can build up. I have decided to finally join the Nexus in the hope that I can build my knowledge of both DMT and Ayahuasca, and in turn pass on my knowledge to others.

Once I do take the spice, I am hoping to get an insight into why we are here, what we are, what is consciousness and to try and get rid of bad energy in my life. I hope that by learning as much as possible before embarking on this magical journey through the hyperspace, I am fully prepared for what I will find out and encounter upon my travels.

Back to my original paragraph. I believe, by being an active member in many communities (not under this alias), I can share my knowledge and help change peoples views and opinions on not only DMT, but on the fundamental right of human beings - we should have the right to alter our consciousness or state of mind, that is our choice as intellectual human beings. It is not the governments right to deny us of our most basic human right, although through Propaganda, the government seems to have done a good job in denying us this right.

I don’t want to get into the politics of choice and free will in too much detail, so I would like to end with a phrase which I believe to be truly great (It is also in my signature!) “We live in a society that will send us to prison if we make use of time-honoured sacred plants to explore our own consciousness. Yet surly the exploration of the miracle of our consciousness is the essence of what it is to be human?”

coffee is a hell of a drug, I do feel I use it more than necessary sometimes, but it too has its beneficial applications

Feel free to browse the Ayahuasca forum, and there's also a few loose threads on aya preparation in the Welcome and Introduction sections here and there, as far as methods of preparation, a simple google search will yield all kinds of recipes from erowid to tons of other sites

Not sure why you want to "get rid" of the "bad energy" in your life. Please understand that at the very core, energy is just one; it's neither good nor bad. Or, one can say it's both good and bad. Ultimately it's just pure energy, only expressions vary. So, what I'm getting at, is this rejective attitude of "wanting to get rid of" is simply not the right approach. You want to have direct and penetrating understanding of the expression itself, and why it expresses the way it does, then you can use that same energy properly. It's not to be denied, it's to be understood and properly integrated. Not rejection; acceptance and understanding will give you the proper transformation

Again, I don't understand why you want to change people's views. People are entitled to hold whatever view they choose fitting. If that view is somehow wrong, then they will suffer for their own transgressions; life has a certain way of taking care of things and that's just the way it is. So, there's no real need for a revolution of any sort, in the first place it won't be of much help and you'll be simply wasting your own energy. Things are the way they are, and the way they are is just fine. Those people that are ready to change their preconditioned views always find a way, and those that aren't always find a way to justify their false notions, so there's really no reason to make any kind of evangelical DMT mission, I would just let nature take it's course. Of course you're always free to help where people are genuinely asking for it, feel free to use own judgement.

Welcome to the Nexus, ☮

Thanks for your speedy response BC, you have raised some good points, especially towards the end of your reply.

By bad energy I meant the negative feelings in my life, my negative actions and my lack of total acceptance of all humans. I have been on a year long geographical trip (not psychedelic trip) and I believe this has changed a lot of my views for the better, although there is still some more to change in order to be fully at one with myself.

I want to (not personally, but collectively) change the governments views on drugs, and get our basic human right back which is to be able to alter our state of mind, or consciousness if we so choose. I agree life has a way of taking care of things, and sorting things out, although I do not believe we will regain that right unless we make a stand for it. Think of womens rights and rights for blacks, they would not have had those basic rights had they not stood for the cause. I don't want to get into a debate here about the war on drugs, or politics, I just thought I should clarify my previous post.

Either way, I'm sure I can learn a lot from the Nexus

I have done a fair amount of LSD and also mushrooms twice, although the setting was not great for the mushrooms - I was in South East Asia and did them at a beach party. I think I need to give mushrooms another go, but in a more controlled environment.

I've heard a LOT of positive things about DMT, and how it takes you to other spaces, potentially showing you the truth. The fact that it has been used by amazonian tribes for thousands of years for spiritual ceremonies shows to me that DMT reveals more than I can imagine.

I see what you're saying. In my experience nature herself holds no such laws against drugs; the laws are regulated by the society, and in some cases I honestly DO think they're quite applicable to keeping really stupid people from doing even stupider things. Soo, make of that what you will, I just work in the loopholes


DMT is a fascinating molecule to say the least, of 14 years of having used various kinds, all I can say is that the experience I got from ayahuasca blew everything else out of the water when it comes to insights and general understanding. Again tho that's just my personal experience, I'm not suggesting similar insights can't be gained through other etheogens, I just think that aya is more grounding and healing than a lot of other visually-stimulating ones (or perceptually?), at least for me.

In any case, what I'm getting at is it's certainly worth trying, just do so safely. Best of luck :thumb_up:
