Hello everybody.
I first read about DMT a few years ago & was interested in trying it to see if I could learn anything about the nature of reality, until I was warned off by a friend who told me: "You get some when you're born, & when you die, & you shouldn't be messing with it". I stopped thinking about it for a while.
It's worth mentioning that I've had substance abuse issues in the past with alcohol being my primary drug of choice, although I've been sober for over 8 years now. I do still use cannabis regularly, but my days of getting out of my head just to be out of my head are over - that kind of thing simply doesn't work for me anymore (if indeed it ever truly "worked"). I'm not inexperienced when it comes to psychedelics, but I wouldn't say I'm a veteran, just acid & 'shrooms. Some of the acid was done recently (last 3 years or so, & definitely with a healthier agenda than in my youth).
Through introspection, I have found that, as the years have rolled by, I'm finding things out about myself that I do not like, at all. Of course, there are a few things that I do like about myself, & I mean a few.
During the last 3 - 5 years I've been researching consciousness, as much as a layman can, & I've dabbled with a couple of spiritual practices, mainly meditation, reading & trying to absorb The Tao, & my old childhood stalwart Christianity.
I currently feel that I've fallen into a rut & I'm looking to The Spice to perhaps give me some assistance in my present life situation, which would, hopefully, make life more bearable for me & my loved ones whom I affect so terribly sometimes.
How I think The Spice may do this I don't really know. I think I'm looking for communion with a Higher Power, or insight into the bigger picture, really I don't know.
I hope this doesn't come across as overly depressing, because it's not, it's two or three major issues as I see it, but do I really see everything that's going on? I expect not.
I'm also involved with a group of people who are interested in consciousness & its many offshoots & really it's this group which has rekindled my research & interest in DMT & its possible beneficial/healing properties.
Sorry to have waffled, please feel free to ask any questions you like of me.
It's good to be here.
