There's more to life than money?!?! Holy shit sign me up!

Migrated topic.

Hey guys, Skizm here!

Wanted to introduce myself and explain why dimethyltryptamine, is so god damn fascinating to me.

Rewind one year ago, I'm a freshman in college. My drug experiences were quite limited, I had smoked pot on and off since I was in sixth grade, messed around with opiates and stimulants, and was under the impression that I was experienced in the way of drugs. Then, I discovered psychedelics. At this point in time, I believed in C.R.E.A.M (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) which is still true today, but on a different level. I thought that money, along with politics, was all that mattered in this world. And let me tell you, believing that they are is pretty damn depressing seeing as both of them are completely fucking evil.

So, one day I got fed up with waiting, went over to a friend's house and picked up an 1/8th of shrooms. I went back to my apartment, meditated for a bit, smoked a cig, made a cup of hot tea, and downed the mushrooms. I walked around my complex for a bit and decided to make a sandwich when things started to swirl and I began to laugh at everything (Bad idea). Soon as I started eating my sandwich I realized just how disgusting our food was. Not wanting my first trip to be bad, I set the sandwich down, pushed it out of my mind, put on some music and sat on my bed.

I don't remember much of that trip, although I remember walking a precipice between heaven and hell, thinking Bob Dylan's guitar was the devil (A cool devil), walking through wonderland as a caterpillar, oh, and completely reorganizing how I thought about EVERYTHING! After that trip, politics disgusted me because every politician is a soulless bitch of the corporate world (One I'll be working for in several years!), Americans are completely brainwashed, and that life is just a dream; one which we wake up from eventually.

For every two weeks, I'd have an intense and vivid dream (Very visual mini-trip I'd call it) that would reveal a universal-truth to me. And like clockwork, every two weeks my interest in psychedelics would ramp up even more. Then I found out about DMT. A psychedelic tryptamine that our brain floods with when we dream and when we die? Holy shit, sign me up!

Six days from posting this is the first day that I will try DMT and time has slowed to a crawl. Literally, it's moving so fucking slow.

GET HERE ALREADY MONDAY! ARGHHH!

Actually is hasn't been proven to be produced in dream or before death. That is just what Dr. Strassman hypothesized.

It is found endogenously in the body though.

Either way DMT is an amazing compound and very worth exploring. The spice is a very ground-breaking and powerful experience. Far more powerful than any 1/8 of mushrooms, so make sure your as prepared as you can be. Though I don't think anyone is ever ready ;).

Welcome to the forums, and I look forward to your first trip report.
 
:d Welcome to the nexus.

I feel you...be patient and accept life for what it is...learn compassion and you will see a bit of you in everyone else...noone WANTS to worship money...I think most don't even know that they are..just trying to feed the family. It gets frustrating but dont stress, it's not good for you!

Good luck with the spice!
 
I think the money thing is just linked to happiness being elusive to a lot of people. Many people seem to be very out of touch with themselves, and I see excessive cashlust as a misguided attempt to become happier. People often tell themselves "If I just did/had _____ I'd be happy," and money tends to be one of the more common things to fill in the blank. That's really all everyone wants right? To be happy? Its a shame people are so bad at figuring out how to accomplish that.
 
Aye, pretty similar story except i realised when i was about 16/17. Good to see you joined the nexus though! Great community with some damn smart people to boot :D.

same here
Maybe I was 14/15 when the questions of life pushed away the quest for money.
Money, status and power are for the ignorant. I really feel sorry for them..
They will never be truly happy with themselves or others.

Too bad they rule the world.
Which is a problem.
 
Welcome to the Nexus my fellow traveler-trapped-in-a-conservative-republicans-body. I can relate to your story in many ways. :]
