a few thoughts... perhaps experience is a mixed blessing? 'The Fool' seems to me the most significant card in the Major Arcana -- "Before Enlightenment, chop wood carry water; after Enlightenment, chop wood carry water."

the accounts i've read of DMT being taken in a group setting rarely mention any 'telepathic effect' between the people taking it -- to illustrate: if i took LSD by myself, and then entered a room where there were six other people i had never met before, and unknown to me three of the people in the room had also taken LSD, i would expect (rightly or wrongly) to know almost immediately which three people were also tripping; but i would not expect this to happen if instead we had taken DMT -- do you think there is a relative lack of awareness of other people when taking DMT? is it best taken individually?
