Well hello fellow travelers!
It's been one heck of a journey getting here!
Let me just start by giving thanks to all who have made this website possible and give extended thanks for allowing me the opportunity to be among st like minded individuals. here's to productive conversations in the future and hopefully at some point I will be able to contribute in some way shape or form. Love the structure of membership here and kudos to the creators of the questionnaire, had a great time.
A little about myself, I am huge into Urban agriculture, Hydro/Aqua/Aeroponic systems/growing/setup. I've been a hobbyist Gardner for about 10 years (made it into my first farmers market last year and sold heirloom tomatoes! Killed it!) I am also very into Yoga at home practice, been repairing my body with that for a little over two years now. I love all sorts of music and love discussing and sharing said music. I love conspiracy theories and respect that they do not have a home here, I love them non the less. I have an innate ability to juggle for whatever reason, I have played video games since my conception and I can't choose a spirit animal for the fact that I choose them all. :lol: I love all humans and have nothing but love to give for every creed and color. We are all so powerful. Enough with all that though before I get all sappy and soap boxy, onto how I've ended up here, at the Nexus.
----------------------------------------------------------
11 years ago, as a late teen I stumbled upon this website. Looking back, I don't even remember how I originally found out about DMT. However, interested, I used the information here to learn as much as possible before setting off to do an extraction of my own. At the time I was so fascinated... The whole realm, the stories, shared trip reports, Terrence McKenna, EVERYTHING. Life decided to throw me road block after road block and I ended up giving up on the quest all together deeming it "not meant to be". Around the same time, Salvia Div. was making its way through all the smoke shops in the area so I decided to walk that path for the time being. I made a pact with my self and the pact was this "I will never actively seek DMT, through purchase nor extraction. If it is meant to be, the substance will seek me out and find me". I had always been sort of scared to do it in the first place solely for the fact that, I always believed dreams and DMT to be related in SOME way. I am a very powerful dreamer, the things I had seen, even at that age were incomparable to anybody I knew at the time, family included. I was afraid that if I smoked it, or did it at all, it would ruin my ability to Lucid dream. Or... make me vulnerable in ways I could not handle. So the pact seemed like a good way to leave it up to the universe I suppose.----------------------------------------------------------
So, 11 years later, can you guess who knocked on my door? As a friendly "donation" or "Reward" given to me by somebody for essentially holding an engaging conversation about dreams and their misunderstood importance and sharing a few of mine. The guy I was talking to deemed me "Worthy" and handed off an experience to me. Shout out to that guy and his friend. I Will forever honor your decision and give thanks for it. I will save the actual story for a trip report, I've never written one so I am quite excited and it truly is quite the epic tale. This was in June 2017----------------------------------------------------------
Fast forward another 8 months to today and I can say without a doubt that thanks to my experience with DMT, I have been able to kick a 10 year cigarette addiction, completely change my diet from complete filth to... for lack of better word vegan (all vegan, exception of fish and honey, so not vegan on principle but almost on technicality of diet? I guess?) It showed me the absolute importance of breath and imbued me with a self respect and love that was so... foreign to me at the time. It has given me the self discipline to do Yoga every single day to repair what is broken/damaged within me. It showed me what was broken, and that it can be fixed I will elaborate on all of that in the trip report, and maybe another separate post even from that.----------------------------------------------------------
I am in no way shape or form here to brag about my experience, or anything of that matter. I am solely here now because I am confused. I have SO many questions that I KNOW will never get answered. I KNOW i have been blessed, given such a second chance in life. I am SO grateful. With all this new knowledge and self change however comes the burden in not being able to speak to ANYBODY about it. People around me see that I've quit smoking, that I've completely changed my diet etc. However I do not feel comfortable telling them that I truly do believe it is from my experience with DMT. I would either get judged or like some of my friends I have told just will not get it, though they really do try. I guess that's why I am even bothering with this sort of "I'm not here to brag" disclaimer because of the sort of negative response I've gotten from talking about this to people. I just need some people to talk to ----------------------------------------------------------
With all of that being said I am really looking forward to dissecting my experience with the community and hopefully get to have some cool conversations about it all. Hopefully I will be able to give back in some form be it, conversation, advice or tips on growing all sorts of plants from tomatoes to venus fly traps! I hope you all have a wonderful day/evening/night and I will see you around. Keep an eye out for my trip report if this all intrigues you, I guarantee it's one heck of a tale. Going to wrap this up because I could probably keep writing for a few hours. ----------------------------------------------------------
Until we speak again, with much love sending out cosmic energy to you all
