Introduction and what got me interested

Migrated topic.

What is?
Hello there Nexus.
I would like to start off by saying that I love this forum and the knowledge and experience the members have to share. I have read a lot from the Nexus, and finally decided to join the forum as I am starting to get into healing, and believe the use of psychedelics can be a major help.
Right now I am doing a course in chemistry at the Australian Istitute of Applied Sciences. Aswell as courses in Bowen therapy, Schuessler tissue salts, Australian Bushflower Essences, And next year CPR first aid.
Most of my life I have been aethiest. Only in reccent times have I been interested in conscioussness, religions, healing and so on.

My journey started with Cannabis. I had smoked cannabis 2 times before and didnt get high, only a mild visual effect the second time from smoking 2 blunts of some exotic strain of cannabis that smelled very good.
The third time me and a group friends smoked 2 bowls of mid grade Sativa dominant cannabis.
As we were walking down the cold street my friend who was experienced with cannabis look to me and said "this high is weird" going along with it I just said "yeah".
We got to a point where we had to walk about 100 meters through a parking lot and the night sky was blue looking from memory... Then I lost consciousness for a split second then
BOOOOOOOM! Something in my head exploded and I was in an INTENSE state of consciousness. No hallucinations, but It was soo indredible I was shocked that this kind of reality was even possible! The intensness was utterly, amazing. As I came down I got the depth perception effect as if everyone looks like they are flat and cardboard. Everything was moving back and foward slightly into the next day.

After some years of research I have concluded that what I experienced was a kundalini awakening, much like Gopi Krishna's experience. Except I wasnt meditating, I was standing and walking! I have not read much about the kundalini on the Nexus and believe that when kundalini activates the pineal gland, it can release 5 Meo DMT, If not n,n DMT aswell. This should be a very interesting topic to discuss. I believe in this lifetime I will awakeng the kundalini again. And with the help and healing of DMT and Ayahuasca (I am trying to find a way to import Ayahusca vine) I believe I will learn a great deal.

I plan on going to Peru to drink ayahuasca with shamans, aswell as go to Africa to take Ibogaine (unless I can obtain it in Australia somehow). I am currently trying to purify the soul however I can, purging being the only real shamanic practice I know of. Taking knowledge from many differant religions and beliefs (for example, burning karmic ties thru tummo meditation). Aswell as connecting the dots in history to form my own beliefs.

I believe that as I progress in learning about healing and the mind, I will be able to contribute positively to this forum. :)

Hello WannaBeShaman,

Welcome to the Nexus. Thank you for posting this fascinating introduction essay.

As far as I know the only things that have been found in the pineal is melatonin and pinoline, though someone told me new research is being done looking for even smaller quantities of things like DMT than before. Clearly if it's there at all, it's in tiny, tiny amounts.

May I be so forward as to say I appreciate your faith that you will have a similar experience to the one you described, it's generally not a good idea to actively chase any particular experience. That can frequently result in anything from disappointment to trouble.

I'm so sorry the plant and plant importation laws in AU are so draconian. Otherwise, I'd say, you don't have to go to Peru to drink ayahuasca or Africa to consume iboga. But, if you are able to travel and have no other options, all I can say is I look forward to your experience reports.


Please take a good look around - this place is huge and there are a lot of exciting things as well as research being done here. I certainly hope you enjoy what you see. Again, welcome to the Nexus.
