Man, that quote is so applicable to me. I think it might have been from Terence McKenna. Not 100% sure. I am older but have never stopped learning my entire life. I have only a few experiences many many moons ago with a couple acid and mushroom trips. I use weed occasionally.
I am naturally empathic and I believe I have a higher than normal awareness by doing meditation and a few courses I have attended... think Eckhart Tolle, Wim Hoff breathing etc.
Years ago I had heard of DMT but never really gave it any attention until recently. As such it has been showing up everywhere for me... Netflix "fantastic fungi" being one of the most memorable. I felt and ease of now being able to talk about psychedelics more openly. I also feel that the fear stigma is evaporating from it.
I jumped with both feet and tried to find out how the hell I could get some DMT! Ha ha... this took me down the whole dark web route and learning about that quagmire. Omg what a scary space. The point at which it I saw people having to test for fentanyl was a hard stop for me.
So I decided at that point I would have to make it on my own.
100 or so hours later I am making my first batch which has already been a learning experience.
In my journey in life I have honestly felt an increasing in awareness over time ... separating the self from the thoughts... I have learned about a few frameworks in which to explore that but it wasn't until I got a better understanding of how the default mode network works that I really had an U-ha moment. I have given lectures on breaking the loop that we all get stuck in ... but it was intuitive... I know by pointing this out to myself and others... when they can look at themselves as an observer they can change... and so can I. I knew and experienced this without DMT. However, I believe that DMT will help me expand my understanding... I am hoping it will expand me as person for the better.
