From as early as my memory goes back, I’ve felt different from many around me. Between undiagnosed spectrum related symptoms, ADHD, upbringing, so on and so forth, Ive struggled my entire life finding sense, reason, or happiness in spirituality or religion.

I’ve researched and read scriptures, passages, cliff notes, summaries and grimories from many authors and writers over the years. For a time, I found myself following old Pagan rites and beliefs until I came across a new issue that had barely been spoken about before.

APHANTASIA

Inability to create voluntary images behind the lids of one’s eye, in their mental headspace. This extends to other sensory imaginations, and is often paired with SDAM, an issue where one cannot relive or even remember particular points in their life. Or they’re so low energy that they become jumbled and horribly incorrect from fact.

A lot of spirituality and religion is rooted in meditation, clearing the mind, or focusing on a place, object, thing or person. At the very least, the belief of a god or gods. (Usually)

After coming to the realization I have this Aphantasia, I feel as if I’m missing out on the entire spiritual aspect on life. I never had it and have lived a fairly decent life without it, however, you always want what you don’t have. (Again, usually)

I had tried DMT once before I learned of this back in 2014. Brewed it in a tea, probably did it wrong, and got minimal OEVs, none were CEVs. Felt like I was dying, and had brain fog for two whole weeks after the fact.

Ten years have come and gone in a blink of an eye, and I haven’t had another opportunity to try it again. I’m hoping through the use of this community and crafty online sources, I will be able to find or fabricate sources of magic crystals, and The_Machine.

I am terrified of death, and will more than likely struggle greatly to combat this in future trials and usage. Ultimately I hope to make an acquaintance or friend or two, get safer about the usage, get everything in gear, and take a blind leap over the threshold.

There has not been a lot of research into this topic Amphants using DMT, and less so successfully. I understand that I shouldn’t set expectations for a trip, in my mind and with this ego, I have a hard time letting go.

Anyone that has successfully broken through as an amphant-from-birth, please do hit me up, as I am more than eager to hear out that experience. (Or any other experience). I love (but mostly fear) hearing what people experiences are with DMT.

Thank you, I hope to meet the people of the community soon.

IggyStarman,

Welcome to the Nexus. That topic of aphantasia has come up on the Forum before. If I recall correctly, folks were not getting a lot of visual effects from the spice but I may be wrong.

You have definitely come to the right place for extraction TEK's to get those crystals and for community. I personally never got The Machine to work but I know @ FAFO had good results with his. There are a lot of good devices and vaping paths for freebase DMT.

DMT is a super safe drug, . . . . to your body. Not so much to your ego. :D.

DMT has a way of making folks feel better about death while simultaneously making them aware of their (other) fears.

The key to opening the door fully and stepping through is surrender. A profound level of letting everything go. Including concerns about death and the body. After all we all have to go sometime, right?

DMT induces a heavy body load that can easily be interpreted as a feeling of dying. Probably because the heavy and anesthetic feeling is accompanied by a disconnection with the body itself. The ego identifies strongly with the body and DMT works to separate us from it. This makes the ego think it is dying and can induce anything from worry to panic. This is THE moment to just let it all go.

I am not sure if we have any Aphants as current and active members but hopefully one will reply here.

I hope you find what you seek and warmly welcome you. I hope you will keep us updated as to your efforts and explorations.

Thank you for the warm welcome!

My phone ditched my last response mid post, I’ll be more brief I suppose.

Last trip in 2014 was probably not the most comfortable of locations. Made it harder to relax in general.

Honestly I’m a lazy bastard and I know myself best. I’ll probably vape it, I most likely don’t need to try to blast off into the deep end just yet.

However, I am aware of many of my fears. Bees, abandonment, death, gore, the damn THX sound effect that played super super loud in theaters, and as a kid unidentified on the spectrum that stuff was spooky AF.

Alas.
Anyway, I’m tempted to make a journal thread here at some point if I ever get to it. The main concern is timing, smell, safety, drug buddy. I’m not exactly in the neighborhood where I have a friend to do this around. I’ll need to go local, somewhere else, and find a reputable shaman that won’t steal my wallet while I’m absolutely zoinked.

I think I’m starting to forget why I was hell bent on breaking the ego to shreds. I just remember being just that. Hell-Bent. Wanting answers whatever the cost- even if the answers were kookier than cryptids in your toilet.

So that’s the plan. More research, vape device, freebase, safety measures, experience. Seems simple enough, now to amass the funding for it. lol.
 
“Mental” imagery is a subject I find very interesting. When I close my eyes, what I see is only after images on the backs of my eyelids. If I imagine an object, there is no true image, only a “meta” conception of said object. This in contrast to a rich, full color / “five senses” dream world that fools me %99 of the time - ie I believe it is reality, no matter how preposterous. Does this mean I too have aphantasia ?

There’s a good possibility. For a grand average of humans, say as they’re laying down in preparation for bed- They have the capacity to actually visualize and see a field behind their eyelids, in some kind of hazy sort of dreamworld. They can count how many sheep roll past, they can make them fly, change colors, make em bigger, boxier, polygons, wireframe, on fire, drenched, full of pollen, etc etc.

For amphants, the screen is unplugged. Looking at an object and closing your eyes for the after image is like what a Near-total-amphant might see when trying to imagine, lines and vague shapes and no color or details. We’ll classify afterimages as a 1/5 for visual vividness.

For many, they sit between 2-4, each stage developing more and more sensory imaginations, some extending into other senses like sound or smell.

Doubly so, those with Aphantasia have a higher probability being on the autism spectrum or adhd. But we don’t have all the details about it, it’s a fairly newer researched thing and they haven’t definitively come out with all the facts and details compared to diabetes or fatty liver disease. It’s plum weird, Aphantasia.
