Something about me an how DMT changed my life... :)

Migrated topic.

Jahmie

And there I travel - looking, looking breathlessly
Hello fellow travellers :) I'm very grateful to have come across this community, and at what I feel is the perfect time in my life too.
I joined a few days ago and have been wanting to post but I've been unsure what to post about. I've had an exceptional result in the one extraction I've done but I used what is only a slight variation on a tek that is already detailed here, and I think it was mainly my intention and level of love and care I put in that made the results so good, so I'm not sure what information I could add technically speaking. So I thought I'd share instead a brief as possible version of the story of what has brought me to this point in my life, and how DMT has affected and changed me so dramatically for the better :)
See I’ve always approached my drug taking with a mind to push myself as far as I could and have always revelled in intensity. I don’t regret taking this approach as it has lead me to learn a great deal and has developed me in a very special way I think, it did although lead me into a very self-destructive place for a while. When I was 18 things started to spiral out of control for me and I ended up developing a serious problem. At the end of a 5 month addiction to Mephedrone (the worst one for me which left me, a 6ft male, weighing 7 stone) I nearly died fitting after a three day Heroin and Valium binge followed by 2g of Mephedrone and some Ketamine. So I was in a bad place and I was struggling to get out of it. The fit shook enough sense into to stop doing Mephedrone at least but I was still unable to pull myself out of that downward trajectory. DMT, however, saved me. Or at least I was saved through DMT. For the previous year or so I had explored LSD and some other hallucinogens and had already become very spiritual as a result, developing what I feel to be a very personal connection with the universal consciousness that I have come to call Jah. How there was such an overlap between the spiritual side and the self destructive side of my drug taking I still struggle to understand, looking back the chronology, and my stupidity, confuses me. I do however know that DMT was the tipping point.
Although when I discovered it I knew how special it is and recognised that it deserves profound level of respect, and in my mind felt that I had that level of respect for it, I habitually fell into using it over and over again in very short space of time and using it perhaps inappropriately at times. I also especially do not regret this, as I of course saw and experienced things far beyond what I had ever imagined and also not only changed my perspective but something about how my brain works I think.
None the less I was abusing this most sacred of a substance and needed, it seemed, to be disciplined. The last few trips I had in this stage of my life were, in contrast to their usual profound beauty, dark and set in places of concrete and barred windows, slimed walls and strange insects. Lastly I was sent a complete black abyss, this struck the deepest chord with me because where usually in my trips I had felt Jah’s loving and embracing presence so profoundly, in this abyss I was completely and utterly alone, in nothingness. It was as though I had been allowed into God’s house and I had abused my right to be there and so was not allowed back.
The shame I felt with this realisation was unbearable and I decided to take a vow, to never do DMT again until I had earned my right to do it.
It was this that saved me. Motivating me to one by one take control of and end my addictions and furthermore to live a more healthy and fulfilling life. Also to dedicate myself to my spiritual path, which I now realise I was already on. After about a year of struggling, learning to eat right and exorcise have discipline, the last thing I did to tip my karmic scales and make up for my abuse was to make my own and set out to share it with as many people who had never experience it before as I could. This is the intention that I feel yielded the great results I mentioned :) I myself smoked three hits of the 5g I made, the first of which an unmeasured heap I smoked in a quarry that certainly reassured me that I had earned it because it was the single greatest experience of my life! XD
I’m now 20 years old and the healthiest and most fulfilled I’ve ever been. I find you now, having just made the decision to delve as much further into shamanic practice as I can, ready to start my second extraction and a host of experiments with Changa and other forms.
I hope you will welcome me into your community and aid me in my learning, and that I can contribute in some way to yours.

Blessings on all of you beautiful people :)
 
Welcome to the Nexus, Jahmie. I'm glad that you were able to escape the hard stuff, addiction would be a terrible way to start your adult life!

DMT is special. I've noticed that many substances seem to trick us into thinking that more is better, while DMT actually will often teach us moderation.

When you said you wanted to share "it" with as many people as you can, I wasn't clear if you meant your spirituality and recovery, or DMT. I hope it's the former, psychedelics are a very personal thing and the decision to try them should be very much only influenced by that person, and their own motivation and research. You wouldn't want the karma of being responsible for someone Else's psyche.
 
Thankyou very much Kimi :)

Mustelid, I had to take a day to think about what you said before replying because it was in fact the latter I was refering to. I'm not allowed to mention exactly why on this forum so in as much respect of that as possible I'll simply say that I made part of my penance that I vowe from that point never to involve money with it, and felt in fact that actively seeing that it was free to people should be a part of that also. I assure you though that I was careful with people, and never forceful. I feel still that that was the right thing for me to do at the time as in my life I noticed a great deal of synchronisity and karmic reward that seemed to me to validate my decision. Not to mention the reaction and gain I saw in many people :) Now however, I have been feeling that this next stage of my life should be more devoted to my own personal growth and learning, and less towards helping others for the time being. Whether or not to be so active with my next batch has been on my mind and reflecting on your perspective has helped me come to a decision not to. Others will find me if the time is right for them :)
I'd say that constitutes a pretty good result from my first post eh? ^_^
Thankyou for the insight, and the support also.
 
Cheers guys :)

...psychedelics tend to make you see things for how they really are.

I agree =] literally in fact. I think it's very interesting and important that Serotonin, being the chemical that translates all the information that our brains take in from the universe, is a Tryptamine. It's as though chemicals like LSD for example are like upgraded neurotransmitters, more complicated in order to take in more complicated information than we do in our normal states of conciousness =] and from that perpective it's more interesting still is that DMT is actually a less complicated structure, as though the information that it allows you to percieve, even though we can find it hard to comprehend, is also less complicated, like that world is in fact the base core of our universe and this place is built from and on top of it =]
 
That is quite a story....
The more I read I understand dmt makes you a better person!
And by the way.... I just shared your story with 2 of my partners at work, and their eyes just looked miracleized sparkling surprised. They are also happy for you 😉
 
Welcome to the nexus!

Great post:thumb_up: . I couldnt agree more with the serotonin/ psychedelics analogy (not really an analogy though). Timothy leary mentioned something similiar, altough i dont know it word for word;, psychedelics are like microscopes/ telescopes, you have to respect it and be aware of the possibilities, either good or bad (or neither nor), before one can truly be aware. Entheogens are humanities tools to evolve their consciousness imo

Good to have you here 😁

Dmt doesnt make you a better person. It helps you to become one. With respect and honesty, It brings you to the door, but you have to walk through

I understand.... It is you who chooses to become one too..
I have also understood how chasing money should not be your primary object!
You are your primary object.
(please excuse my english, since it is not my native language)
 
Thankyou everyone I feel very welcome ^_^

Thanks man ^_^ I'm not all that familiar with Timothy Leary to be honest but I'm quite chuffed to know we made a similar observation. Aldous Huxley makes a great analogy in The Doors of Perception aswell, he likens our minds filter on information to a tap that with the use of psychedelics can be adjusted to allow more information in. I think in that analogy DMT would have to be equivilent to just smashing the whole tap of the pipe though to be honest :)
I definately agree that entheogens are the next step for humanity if we really want to evolve further, if only science could get past this research taboo it's still clinging on to I think it could have alot of it's questions answered and theoretical gaps filled.
