Panpsychic,
Hey I was just wondering if you can share a bit with how different the ingestion of harmala tea and then smoking is compared to just smoking. effect wise. I have saw other replies and I understand it extends the period of the journey and also the intensity, but was just curious if you would like to share a little more, I would appreciate it.

You know, I'm actually rather amazed that this isn't a common practice in the community at this point of time...shocked even. It just goes to show how often people are given certain assumptions and run with them. McKenna popularized smoking straight DMT so that became 'the thing' to do, and the harmalas were just seen as a way of making them orally active in Aya.
Tbh I'm not even that experienced with smoking/vaping the straight DMT freebase, because to me its simply a waste. From the beginning I found out about this combo I realized it was
the way to do it, and not even smoking Changa compares - its the drinking harmalas first to really activate them and then smoking. I would ideally never smoke DMT without drinking harmalas first.
I can say that firstly, and this has also been reported by early explorers like Gracie and Zarkov, it feels much more serious. Like sometimes on DMT people describe it like a rollercoaster and seeing clowns and elves etc....add the Rue tea and it suddenly feels like an existential gravity is there,which is your life and your decision to commune with this.
Serious can be very beneficial, but its not particularly 'fun'. If you just want the fun ride this is not it.
For example to give you an idea...recently I was shown some very very deep empathic resonaces from the universal mind/Depth and seeing the suffering in humanity...I felt the visceral pain of people who wake up every day having lost a child. Every sinnew and bone had an ache as I reallzed there are really people like that, millions even right now waking to that reality every morning, and it represents an immense pain of the collective psyche thats almost incomprehensible.
This was some kind of lesson but thats what I mean by serious. This combo is here to teach. Its not 'you did this drug to see what would happen' its 'you decided to commune so now you are going to sit through the lessons that it decides to give'.
Along with the seriousness comes a purity. It feels holy, again like its been given for a purpose. Time, life, death, they are all ephemeral and passing. Partaking of it like this demands some personal responsibility to develop your self to be worthy. From this vantage, these tools are not helping cleanse your addictions, negative traits and habits just to help you, they are cleansing you so your system is fit and worthy and capable of realizing deeper states of the purity and holiness of this presence thats unfolding when you partake of the sacrament.
