Hello howdoishotweb,

thanks for your intro. I'm curious to know if what you describe as "unfocused thought" or "deep thought" might be what other people call "meditation".

I think realizing there's "something significant we are unable to perceive" is a step in the right direction :)

And if you allow me a suggestion, try not to get too knee-deep in absolute assertions and doctrines, theistic or atheistic. If you want to prepare to experience DMT, you'll want to be open and questioning everything, including your own certainties. Not that I intend to question your beliefs... just a reminder that, as you say, there's a lot we ignore, and realizing our knowledge is provisional (all of it) will get you further in my experience.

Have you had experiences with any psychedelics other than DMT?

And welcome to the Nexus.
