Good evening everyone,
I'm happy to have arrived here at the Nexus. I only recently found out about psychedelics, specifically DMT, and the positive impact they can have.
About me. I'm a 36 year old, male. Currently living in NY but also spent some time in Cali. I grew up in typical suburbia during the Nancy Reagan 80's and I said "No to drugs!" through my teens and into my mid 20's.
It was ingrained in me that those who did drugs were "bad" and not doing drugs meant you were "good". I have 2 siblings who have experimented with many types of drugs throughout their lives, but I was never interested. In my mid 20's I dabbled with weed but only a few times. I never thought much about drugs, and I rarely drink.
In late 2014 I began searching for more meaning in my life. I quit my job in Nov 2014 because my feelings of unfulfillment were becoming to great to ignore. After a month of doing nothing, I began searching. What I was looking for I didn't know but I knew that there were answers about myself I needed. I've never done much meditating but I began to find myself doing it everyday. I found some books which helped my analyze my childhood and helped answer some more questions. In mid 2015 I took a "self help" course and it opened my eyes much further to the reality we live in. It gave me perspective on how to deal with everyday life.
During 2015 I happened upon the the documentary "DMT: The Spirit Molecule". I had watched it a few times and was throughly intrigued and did quite a bit of research on it, but figured, "it's a drug, there's no way I can get my hands on it." It was about August when my brother just happened to bring up DMT. I was shocked because I hadn't mentioned anything to him about what I had seen or my thoughts on the topic. But it turns out he was also doing research on it or knew about it for some time.
It was not too long after than my brother got his hands on some DMT. My life has been changed forever. The places I've been, the things of seen, and most importantly the experiences that remain with me are for later posts.
I throughly believe that we, human beings, are undergoing a paradigm shift in consciousness. I also believe that DMT finds you.
I look forward to gaining insight in the experiences of everyone here.
