I feel like the MAOI is the stage lighting and DMT is the show. If you get the lighting wrong it doesn't matter how good the show is :/
You're half correct. DMT is an important ingredient to Aya, without the DMT, the Harmalas don't hold up to anything more than medicinal ime, certainly not Entheogenic, i mean maybe some qualities but for the most part nothing much there. However, with the DMT in the mix, yes the DMT is the main show, however i would consider the Harmalas to be the main show and the DMT to be the lighting that illuminates the Harmala teachings and experience. People are mistakenly under the impression that DMT is the main experience, while it's part of it, the Harmalas are actually the main experience, the DMT aside from adding it's own effects to the experience, illuminates/activates the Harmala effects, so proper Aya is primarily Harmalas with some DMT, hence why they go Caapi heavy in South America with a light to moderate dosage of DMT.
With that said though, the good thing about this stuff is you can adjust the dosages to your liking, however for proper Aya, you wanna go Harmala heavy with a dash of DMT to light the way, ime.
When using low to moderate dosages of Harmalas and moderate to high to heavy dosages of DMT, the DMT is the main part of the experience, but when using high to heavy dosages of Harmalas and low to moderate to high dosages of DMT, the Harmalas are the main show. Plus, the more Harmalas you use, the less DMT you'll need for a full experience, the less Harmalas you use, the more DMT you'll need.
