Me first breakthrough actually occurred during a deep meditation. Some call it the kundalini energy awakening the third eye. That experienced changed my life greatly. It was researching that experience where i stumbled upon Terrence Mekenna and one of his speeches on DMT. I was completely blown away how his description of DMT journeys where so similar to the experienced I had. I am a student of theology working towards my Masters, so I have a wide range of knowledge on mythology, religion, and Hermeticism. This tends to change my perspective on reality because of my spiritual practices. After my first experience with Aya, being so similar to my spiritual awakening it has became common practice for me. Usually on a monthly ceremonial basis, It has profound effects on me. I have learned so much about my self, as well as reality.
The first time I did Aya, I doubled the dosage, "BAD IDEA." Even with my vast knowledge nothing could save me, not even trying to think good thoughts. I had this impending doom, and a fear of death, with horrible visions. I remembered thinking I was dead and I made it to Hell where I deserved to be. After coming down I convinced my self I would never touch the dreaded stuff again. But I could not get over how both my spiritual experience and the aya seemed so similar. So after several weeks of preparing my self, I made a second attempt which turned out to be pure heaven. The feeling of connectedness and universal knowledge. I felt as if all my senses where truly awakened for the first time in my life. And that lead my to where I am today. I look at DMT as a tool for man to find his soul. Meditating to enlightenment is like being borne poor and working your way to the top, taking DMT is like Being borne filthy rich. Which is better? Well it all depends on your perspective.
