Hello dimitrious,

Welcome to the Nexus.  That was a very well written Introduction Essay - thank you so much for taking the time to write it up and submit it.  That was quite an experience report, .

So, do you have much other psychedelic experience and if so, how did it compare?

I find that for myself, having a full blown ego-death and/or going out of body/having my body melt always results in a positively euphoric next day where my senses and feeling of being alive are positively awakened.  It's a wonderful feeling - like being a child again.

The fact that you got to where you got smoking a funky bowl of burned DMT resin is really gross though.  Also, probably not the healthiest way to go.  There's lots of teks on extracting your own here (wiki) as well as sections on smoking techniques that might help you.

In my opinion no one can define for anyone else whether or not they broke through.  That's for you to determine.  For me a breakthrough goes beyond the regular four dimensions, beyond life, beyond death, it's an All-One, entangled space that feels like where I may go after my body dies and perhaps where I was before I was born.  The visuals are off the scale in terms of clarity, sharpness of edges, fractal, constantly changing, insane nature.  That's my personal definition of breakthrough.

Okay, please take a good look around - I hope you like what you see.  This place is huge. 

Again, welcome to the Nexus.
