Here comes a new challenger

[MushLove]

Hey fam,

After a decade+ of tripping and lurking this forum, finally, here is my nexus account
My journey into ethnobotany and tripping (more or less hard) started 13 years in my first grad year, when i discovered cannabis, the pandora's box lifter.
At the time it amazed me how a plant could alter the mind to enter new realms of thinking, bring you totally unexpected thought patterns and shift so profoundly your view on even the most basic stuff. All this while making laugh, feel good, relaxed and appreciate the moment with the homies
From there i went on a mission to explore others psychoactive substances: psilo, salvia, ayahuasca...
Now use almost only shrooms and aya, at some points i used to trip every weekend, but they taught me to reduce the frequency and implement the lessons before meeting again. Now i go meet them a couple of time a year and make sure to bring some improvement to the table, even small steps, to unlock new teachings.

It's funny how psychoactive plants litterally changed my life trajectory. When i entered eng school my goal was to be a GPU architect at Nvidia (before it was cool with AI ), now i am passionnate about ethnobotany and launched a startup in agritech.

I know that my experience is very small compared to some nexus members, and even smaller compared to tribe people living somewhere in the rainforest with access to premium fresh material, but i think that i can share interesting experiences and feedbacks that can be of some benefits to people.

Looking forward to discuss with you guys,
Mush Love

Hello, @MushLove,

Welcome to the Nexus! What an interesting trajectory, indeed! I admire people that make a major shift in their career path thanks to insights gleaned from the psychedelic experience. I did something similar as well, though in my case it wasn't so much a shift as a focus, because before I focused on software engineering I didn't really have a clue what I wanted to do.

I also love your mindset of longer periods of integration between experiences. That's a very healthy relationship you have with the teachers there.

I'm glad to have you as a part of this community now. Looking forward to hear some of your stories!

Take care!

Hi Nydex, thanks
Exactly, i try to maintain an healthy relationship with them. They are welcoming and supportive but sometimes people forget that they can kick your ass.
I am curious about your avatar and nickname, did you met some reptiles in hyperspace ? What is your experience with them ?
From my experience they are generally in the same basket as the greys and the insectoids, which are not really positive encounters. I am not generalizing, a minority are good, but they usually hide.
During covid, i tripped with aya and saw behind the facade of the global lockdowns, guess who was pulling the strings ? f*ing reptilians lol

Them kicking your ass from time to time is, IMHO, one of their best properties. The humbling effect a difficult experience can have is so oh so valuable to growing up as a person.

My avatar is a result of me loving lizards and wizards, nothing more to it. I haven't had any particular encounters with them in hyperspace because my travels to hyperspaces have been few and far between. I just love blue-tongued skinks and plan on getting one as a pet in the future, when I can provide for it the best possible living conditions.

Oh and by the way, with relation to the last thing you wrote, kindly reminding you of the No Conspiracy Theories thingy from our Attitude Page.

Cheers!

Exactly ! The hardest trip were also for me the most humbling. I still remember to this day (and i think for the rest of my life) my hardest DMT hit (and my last), were i went a little too far and stepped into "unauthorized territory". I don't want to go into much details as i am not comfortable sharing this one, even anonymously, but it had a profound impact on my attitude/personality.

Sounds great ! i also have a friend passionate about lizards and snake, the man lives with pythons, monitor lizards and others. Some species have crazy skins with colors changing depending on the light angle. i wonder if they also share connection with the hyperspace and the entities that also display rainbow-like colored shape.

Well noted and sorry about that, won't bring those type of message again.
