Hey :)

My name is Sally and obviously, I have just joined the forum!

I am a student of religious studies and my interests lie in the use of entheogens. My undergraduate dissertation compared Ayahuasca experience reports with mystical experiences of non-entheogenic religions. I am currently writing a thesis which considers endogenous dimethyltryptamine and the origins of religion. :shock: (It doesn't go down well with my theologian teachers!)

I have been floating around the DMT nexus for a few months now, reading various discussion topics and decided it was probably time I signed up! Many of your posts have been very insightful to me and I'm sure they will continue to do so.


Much love,
Sally

Sounds lke it would be a interesting read, you should post a link or something on the nexus :d

Welcome to nexus sally
 
Hello :D

I've had my fair share of entheogens, but my personal experiences don't play any role in my research. I have to maintain a certain amount of objectivity unfortunately.

I'll admit I have never taken DMT (intentionally that is 😉 ) maybe I will one day. I have read so many experience reports that I'm a bit scared by it lol. I'm a wimp, I know.

Hopefully, when the paper is written, submitted and marked it will be available in university libraries and maybe published, all being well. We shall see :)

Thanks for your quick replies and warm welcome!

Hi Sally! I missed your introduction when it first came through, but have seen plenty of your great contributions in other threads.

Welcome to the Nexus!
 
Thanks :)

Should hopefully be able to contribute more in the very near future :)

Hey eyorca, nice to meet you too :)
Yeah, I study at a religious university, where the theology department is one of the best in the country. Some teachers are all go for the topic idea and some think I'm a total wierdo. Personally I think they need to grow up, open their mind a bit more and stop being so quick to judge. LOL.
Plants of the Gods is a very good book, nice choice :)

I hope we meet on chat sometime soon, that would be nice :)
Have a lovely day xxx
