New Member Intro!

[Shplashtasm]

Hello all ! I hope all is well with everyone here on the Nexus and just planet Earth in general!
I am here for about two purposes
1- To learn the ways of “our” people
2- To reciprocate the teachings of the of the most high, and the teachings of the medicine

My wake up call was about 4 years ago , and if it didn’t happen at the time that it did , I wouldn’t be the person that I am now , nor, would I exist even ,and I am very, very grateful for that experience . It showed me how to be a man and accept every last piece of myself , as myself , regardless if it was “good or bad”.
Also , the fact that life is
1- not what we think it is
2- too short to be wasted on idle


Since then , life has a new tinge to it . Much, much more hopeful about our existence here , and I’ve realized that it’s almost a bad thing to have knowledge and not be able to share it with my brothers and sisters . The only thing is , much of what you learn while traveling cannot be put into layman’s terms without one having already experienced something similar. Plus, the majority of people already think they have it figured out , or are just close minded in one shape or form , which is okay , because we’ve all been there at one point or another .

One thing I’ve realized is that the only way to learn in life is to go through it , and hit your head on every stone in your path until it finally sinks in , then move on to the next one etc . In short what I am saying is , our time here is very short , and I believe that “this”, used in a humble and respective manner can lead to great change, as long as it is used for that purpose. All you need is for it to happen one time in your life to realize that there is a whole world of possibility , within , and outside of the constructs of your mind . And on the contrary , to realize that life goes on with you , or without you .

I’ve been sort of a psuedo-member of the Nexus for a great deal of time , but am just now creating a profile so I am kind of sort of hip but, there is much more to learn, as always . I go back home every now and then just to pick up the pieces , and bring back with me whatever I can . Before the incident happened I abused psychedelics regularly, just trying to figure out “what”. But, integration is just as powerful as packing your bags so , breaks are a much needed tool , depending on the person , so those days are behind me!

So , enough about me . Sorry if I took too much of your time ! And if anyone has any comments feel free to drop by! So with that ladies and gentlemen , i bid you Adieu *steps off soapbox*

Have a beautiful day !

Hey Splashtasm, welcome

Hola Homo Trypens! Thanks I really appreciate it ! Much love

Wonderful introduction. I appreciate the positive mindset you possess.

I find the lessons that are the most difficult to put into words are best embodied in us and become part of our essence.

What entheogens gave impacted you the most and why? Which one lead to your epiphany 4 years ago?

Pleasure to meet you


One love

Thanks man, and you got it it ! Seriously , after certain things happen in life there’s just no going back to what it once was .
But , 4 yrs ago it was L that took me for a ride , not the other way around lol. Twice actually , within like a six month period, which is a rabbit hole id rather not have ya fall in
Pretty much a scream fest the first time, you know . I could compare it to finally getting burned by the stove after your mom told you it was hot ! Put my mortality into perspective , (physically AND spiritually if you get what me means) and really just put a huge mirror in my face. The first time I was so struck that I didn’t get it , second time , was a winner though

Afterwards, maybe 2 yrs (of sobriety and integration ) afterwards I got this calling to reconnect with Dimitri, as I hadn’t had any luck with the first like 6-7 times I used it . Mind you, this was during the period of abuse so it makes sense right ? Just hyperslaps and waiting rooms lol.
But, this time around everything seemed too right . Cybs tek turned out great (first time) and the time was just right so I decided to venture off.
In short, it felt like a key turned over a lock within my soul man .. {I know we’re really not supposed to talk about our experiences but the situation calls for it so why not ? }
A lot of things in life (without going into detail) started to make a whole lot of sense. Almost like someone turned on the light I had been searching for my whole life, and it reassured me that my faith was not misdirected, and most importantly, taught me that the “truth “ our souls so deeply wish for , has been waiting for everyone in plain sight . Just far enough way that you have to work a little bit for it , but not hard enough to give up on it .

Maybe about 1.5 yrs ago I had my first true connection with shrooms ; and it was very similar in terms of “enlightenment” but was more centered on the meta-physical/spiritual connection everything in creation has with itself .
I would go deeper into detail but , I’d rather not ruin it ya know ?
