Hello lovely people -
A couple of weeks ago I heard someone mention DMT. Not sure why, but I felt the urge to go and find out what they were talking about, and was amazed by what I read. Didn't take me long to find this site and have been here ever since, reading as much as I can about the molecule, about Teks, people's experiences and attitudes etc. Have also learnt more about chemistry in the last two weeks than in 5 years of high school! So wanted to say thank you to everybody out there for making this place what it is. I think it is very important work you are all doing, maybe the start of something special.
I have also bought half a pound of root bark. Not that I have any immediate plans to use it, but because I am worried about some of the crackdowns on suppliers in the US that I have read about and so want to have some just in case that spreads elsewhere.
It's been a quarter of a century since I took any illegal substances. I had a long and intense love affair with cannabis throughout my teens and early twenties. I only tried psychedelics a few times (acid twice and mushrooms once) but found those experiences very moving and profound. But after many years I realised that cannabis and I were no longer good for each other, and ended the relationship.
For the next 5 years or so I became something of an ascetic wanderer, gave up drugs, drink, meat, sex, caffeine, sugar, television... and spent my time walking pilgrim trails around the world, living in monasteries and ashrams, visiting Holy sites, meditating and doing Yoga... But one day I woke up somewhere on the road (actually it was on a beach in India) feeling lonely and alone and, kind of like Forrest Gump at the end of his long run, decided it was time to go home.
During these years I came to realize/see/believe that the reality that we perceive is just a tiny tiny fragment of a deeper, wilder, unseen and unfathomable infinite reality. I also came to sense/believe that beyond this, and yet also within this, is a oneness, some kind of Source of all, and (though I definitely could be wrong) that this Source is loving, knowing and benevolent. Occasionally I have had tiny glimpses into the realms beyond this reality, occasionally on drugs or meditating, but more often when walking in nature. And hence why I am so fascinated and excited about what I have read here. (interestingly these "glimpses" have become more frequent since I started learning about DMT)
I now live a relatively straight life, with a family, a mortgage and a job, but I still carry this awareness within me in all that I do, and though I know this reality is an illusion, actually there is much love, joy and fulfilment to be had living it with a good heart and for the right reasons, and these are really the happiest days of my life. One day though I know my children will grow and move away, and then I will have time again that is mine, and will once again continue on the royal road.
Anyway, sorry if this is too long-winded. I have a question, but think this post is long enough already so I will post it elsewhere.
Love to you all
