Ice,

That definitely sounds like an awesome practice (incense and petition to the Universe). I've actually never experienced mushrooms. It was DMT first (and time and time again), then LSD once (not my thing, really...), I still have yet to come across the cubies. It's rather unfortunate.

I agree, though, there is a certain level of tailoring one can do with a psychedelic experience. I certainly have some plans for DMT -- there are so many ways to explore and experiment with it. I just have to span my experiences out, as they can be hard to integrate sometimes.

I know what you mean about being able to encounter the movements of things outside of the psychedelic experience. Some would simply write this off as a side effect or perceptual distortion, but my explanation is that when you encounter these things in a psychedelic state, you are really just becoming aware of how something really *is* on a certain level. Sometimes, you can take a lot of that awareness back with you. And then, when you are conscious of it, it reveals itself to you from time to time without the help of a sacred substance.
