..welcome samphire..i think a lot has to do with personal approach..quite a few long-term DMT advocates use the 'teacher' analogy (especially regarding plant sources) ..certainly i personally think that meditative use can improve direction/motivation/mental organisation..so yes, i think it's been a positive influence on my life, however i take a fairly disciplined approach, and don't expect 'it' to do all the work for me..

i think your attitude and focus, will get you somewhere..non-expectation and humility also seem to help in integration of use of the molecule..
