Alrighty, I went and edited my big, long post, and I think I summed up my point much more concisely. What do you think of my conclusion?
When you decide what it means, you really decide what it means. You're absolutely free when you do so. It doesn't commit you to a belief system, it takes you out of one.TheAppleCore said:SnozzleBerry said::shock: ummmmmmmm, no? wants and desires have absolutely nothing, ime, to do with what the experience is. The experience is what it is and seemingly, varies each time to such a staggering degree that I find the above statement completely beyond ridiculous and absurd. Maybe I'm missing something, but, ime, we do not choose the revelations or lessons presented to us by spice. You can't unsee or unlearn these things. While that may not be something to fear, it is NOT something to be taken lightly and it should NOT be assumed that the tripper has any control over what they are presented with. All the tripper can control is accepting and going with the experience.TheAppleCore said:DMT doesn't forcibly insert revelation into a tripper who seeks none. If she wants a transient experience, and not lasting guidance, that's what she'll get. There's absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
You're right, we can't direct our trips.
My message is simply that DMT will not commit you to a new belief system. You see the show, and you get to decide what it means. It's reading poetry, and not getting brain surgery.

Exactly...if you were to read amazingly graphic (and well-written) poetry inspired by the trench-warfare of the first world war, there is a very high probability that, regardless of how you take it or interpret it or relate to it, the imagery will linger in your mind. You can't unhave the experience and that should be understood before delving into these waters.Virola78 said:TheAppleCore said:...It's reading poetry, and not getting brain surgery.
You nailed it.
And since it works like that you can take it any way you want. The experience will however change your worldview in some way or another.. depending on how much you like poetry.
