You are right Voidmatrix.. reading the situation is key.. and by no means should people not share their experiences. I think its good practice though to remember that the person listening may not have tried it yet. So building as few preconceptions possible is probably for the best. I don't see this as gatekeeping so much as allowing people to have their own unique experience, without any preconceptions. We are dealing with the ineffable here..

Going into this, as long as someone understands its to be respected and is probably going to be extremely powerful, and probably extremely different to the accounts they've heard, then that's a good starting point. Sometimes simple is good.. DMT is perfectly capable of relaying what we often attempt to.

Should Terence not have told the world about his experiences? Hell no.. his accounts are a gift to us all. But we should be cautious of not taking them literally. Machine elves is a term for something that is impossible to explain.

I do think that the limitations of language here are something understood best by those who've had the experience and probably not so much by those who haven't.. so I feel a responsibility to make clear these limitations when talking about this stuff.
