I love this topic. I have been integrating my experience. I guess I was lucky cause attempt #7 was the trick and the first time I even attempted a break through dose. The more I read others experiences the more I find that integration of the experience is vital. For example I had that first beautiful experience, well I gave my self 2 days to integrate which was so naive of me, and even the entity told me "We will see you again, but you have had enough for now" like we can only take in so much. I knew what she meant, I felt it to my core, it was a message to slow down on cannabis and more importantly do not take this experience lightly, and to respect it and come back when the time is right which may be awhile. Well that loss of ego, the nakedness and love I felt drove me 2 days later to attempt again. Woosh what a dark storm I hit, and it was one I needed, but no entities this time, nope I had to face this on my own. I was shown things about myself that are just for me and they we're ugly. It was the worse of me, and no hand holding beautiful entity to carry me thru this one. We'll the lesson I learned from those 2 very opposite experiences was that we are truly in this consciousness, this existence entirely on our own, no hands will be held. And to connect back to that hand in hand with everything with nature, all of it, we must calm the mind and reconnect to what matters. DMT can be a quick eye opener, but without meditation or some form on mindfulness and respect towards this you will struggle with it, or at least from my viewpoint that's how it seems. It's like these things all follow in this circle of connection, and just one thing out of that circle will not be the answer. Basically it will show you or give you what is needed like other posts have said. Basically my point is I should have given myself time between the 2, integrate your experience, dissect it, draw it (I do and I am horrible at drawing lol) write down before and after, and most importantly put the lesson into practice. Do not get caught up in the amazement of everything, be still, calm your mind and listen. I believe Terrance McKenna said to not let death by astonishment ruin what you are trying to be taught. I always do my travels in my bed, with no one in the house, all lights and sounds off and pure quiet , be brave and go for it. Close your eyes and let go...
