Welcome back. Please keep us posted.
Thank you, Pandora, for being so attentive!. It's reassuring to know there are people watching!
To put this in context: my first attempt at a trip, after a year and a half going through terrible health difficulties (self-diagnosis: fatty liver, hormonal imbalances, chronically stressed sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system, very poor diet). Now more recovered (thank God), the goal was to try my first changa brew, made with my first dmt extraction, done a year ago and carefully stored. Result: complete success!
I approached the "trip" itself as usual: in the serenity of my room, at a time when humanity and my dogs are still asleep (and making no noise, neither humans nor dogs!). I always perform a small ceremony of lighting incense or palo santo, saying a prayer, and respectfully asking permission to "enter."
I've gotten into the habit of always playing Brian Eno's "Thursday Afternoon" softly in the background (I love that melody! Just listening to it, I can almost travel without dmt!!).
In the moments before, I'm usually overcome by a kind of panic that makes me hesitate about whether to light the bong or not. I lit it, and the magic was there.
The fractal visions, green this time, were there; the more—I don't know how to describe them—"liquid" visions (eyes moving back and forth, observing me) were there too. It ignited like a light inside me, illuminating the visions. I heard "thoughts" wondering why I had returned there, like a dialogue: "He's come to tell his friends!" said one voice. Another replied, "He's only interested in seeing colors, he wants colorful visions!" (which is true, I love trips with vivid and colorful visions). Another voice finally said, "No, he's also looking for peace."
In the end, they told me, "That's all, don't insist for now," and also, "Don't rush to tell anyone."
It was a very brief (about 15 minutes), strange journey that left me wanting more. It's possible that very soon, having already verified the power of my work, I will proceed to undertake it. But I need to think about a few things first. I need to return to the everyday experience of the Sacred, because I've spent a lot of time preoccupied with the body and matter. And journeys are only a small part of all that. I understood that after this journey.
