what impact does DMT have on an individual?

Hey everbody, just a quick question.

I was just wondering, after one has smoked D, what impact does that have on oneself?

This is vague question but let me explain. After trying LSD, I found that the world had much more to offer and that actually, there was more to me and my surroundings than I dared to imagine in the first place. LSD also made me sort out an anger problem that I used to have that plagued me as to be honest, being angry isn't good, or at least the way I was getting angry. This made me a much more peaceful person and a happier one aswell.

I don't know if I've explained myself well but what I want to say is: Does DMT provoke a change in you and if it does, what are some of the changes that past hyperspace venturers have experienced?
 
What experience does not provoke a change in an individual.

Our integration of experience alters who we are to the core.

DMT provides an unimaginably vast range of experiences which can alter anyone in any number of ways.

It can encourage growth. Inspire awe. Instill fear. Increase Neurosis. Encourage Artistic expression. Open new doors of perception. Introduce one to both benevolent and malevolent entities.

Asking what DMT does to an individuals is like asking "If I walk outside today open to experience how might it change me?" The answer is, in any number of ways, positive or negative, beautiful or ugly, pleasant or unpleasant.

It, like life, is ABSOLUTELY unpredictable, indescribable, and always a gamble.

Altered states have brought the realm of myth and the realm of experience closer together for me, instilling reality with a sense of awe, of horror, of beauty I once could not imagine. But, there are easier/safer routes to access reality in these manners.
 
I would say that LSD is much more likely to cause such changes and that DMT rarely does this, especially if smoked.
 
oh god smoking DMT has had quite an impact on the way I look at things in certain contexts...I see each person as more a shining light becasue of DMT..it really can reach in there are touch the soul at such a fundamental level..same with ayahuasca, but they each take a different route.
 
Hi epiphany_awakening,

DMT has had a tremendous impact upon my life. As I posted elsewhere on a thread on "why do you do it?":

It converted me from atheism at age 41 when no one and nothing else could.

It has shown me realms of beauty and given me lessons in art I wouldn't have believed possible.

It has taught me the true meaning of the word ecstasy.

It has taught me the true meaning of the word terror.

It has filled my mid-life with novelty, something that had been sorely lacking.

The list goes on . . .

Peace & Love,
Pandora
 
Everyone is different. For SWIM only oral DMT has such potential. Smoked DMT is just way too quick of an experience for SWIM to gain anything of any value at all from it. By the time the effects are even noticed, it’s already fading way. There’s no real time to do much of anything in that mindscape. SWIM gets overwhelmed with visual data, psychedelic thought patterns, etc., it’s much like riding a rollercoaster. It’s so fast, you can’t make much sense of it all. SWIM is left feeling worn out and glad to be back to normal, and that’s about it. It’s a psychedelic rollercoaster ride with little value at all. Oral, or sublingually DMT is a different story though.
 
I believe that a person's world view is essentially made up of stereotypes and doubts. And all psychedelics, to some degree, tend to modify, at least in my experience, the balance between the two. Some people may gain faith or some kind of certainty from their experiences. For me, it's been the opposite. I've literally seen many stereotypes and cliches that I've developed over the years disintegrate and be replaced by questions, doubts, uncertainty. Which, in turn, paved the way for awe and amazement at the multitude of possibilities and ideas that had never occurred to me before, which I hadn't been aware of or ignored.
