Hello guys, this is my brief introductory essay. I was lucky to find this website a couple years ago, always learning from it, unable to contribute something personal due to my lack of experience (I am young). Dmt is the most important thing for me in life. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family, my friends, and overall the experiences that we can take with out bodies. However, I say that DMT is the most important thing for me because I don’t fully understand it. Since I was a kid I have tried to make sense of the world, constantly asking myself who I am and what is consciousness. I found that DMT was the tool to enhance myself at a point wherei
I could see my thoughts, work with them, and achieve higher levels of understanding and reflection from the little things that surrounded myself (such as music, fire) all the way to abstract ideas (such as the lyrics from the music, this deep feeling of being connected with everything in the existence..)
The point I am trying to make is that this molecule is the key to the human experience. I have only taken it once in the form of ayahuasca, but I have read a lot about it and I have fantasized a lot about it as well. It really catches my attention more than anything else, and I think this is the same feeling that our ancestors had, I doubt we are the first ones that share passion for dmt. My gut tells me that this passion comes from thousands of years ago, not decades, not centuries.. and I truly believe this is the key for human/awareness/consciousness development.
Currently I’m studying law and business, I plan to master in robotics (most likely), and PhD in medicine/neurology/psychology (we will see) I am discovering dmt by myself at the moment, it’s hard to make sense of it, specially outside of this forums. I have found some people to talk about dmt (south American shamans), but they are too mystic for me . I am not into gods or any kind of fiction that tries to explain dmt, although I understand why they think like this, the experience is truly unique, it’s not something you find by chance in your daily commute.
For the future I have big plans with dmt. I want to keep researching and learning by myself, and I would like to help others. I think of dmt as a potent tool for healing / learning / understanding; the most potent tool on earth I would say. That is why I love it, and that is why I don’t feel ready to share anything with others, I don’t want to be one more guy who misguides others. That is why I am here just learning, and I created the account just because I have been here for almost two years, always coming back, and I thought it would be nice to set on stone the “account created on..”
From you I would like to receive more guidance. Tell me how you experience dmt. Why you take it.

What I am going to share now is very profound and no one I know understand it. When I took DMT I saw “IT”. “IT” is the name I gave it, it is not a face, but seems like one. It’s not a thing, but seems like one. It is something full of color, from it everything emanates, it is the whole existence and everything is within it, except me. And that is my biggest concern, the deepest I have been is where I see it all in front of my eyes, I am in front of IT, but I am still me, I am a conscious, I feel I am watching IT and IT is doing all sort of things for me, the whole existence is IT and I am the observer. There is everything on IT, there is death, happiness, animals, creatures I have never seen, there are ideas, there is my family, it can become a face that horrorizes me (I don’t think it’s on purpose, IT is what it is, I am the one who feels terrorized, it’s upon me to be calm, and this realization is what makes it stop)

The concept of IT I have tried to talk to others without any luck. I don’t know if you guys have had some experience similar to this one. Some people say they find elves, they find themselves in another dimensions. I have been there too. But as I said, the deepest I have been is when I am in front of IT, seeing the whole existence at once, past-present-future at the same time. And I thought it made a lot of sense because before the Big Bang everything was glued together. Everything comes from the same thing, we achieve individualization over time, because over time everything goes further, but I think of IT as the moment before the Big Bang, the greatest thing from which everything comes, and it’s alive.
It’s not a pleasant experience whatsoever, I understand that this experience could mess my head up. It’s a very strong idea. When I see it I think I am about to die. I will go back to IT. It’s a certainty that we will all die and go back to the universe to be recycled into other things. But it scares me because I thing when I die I lose my consciousness, I lose the little control I have, I lose my little body. The idea of dying has terrorized me since I was a kid, but dmt helped me to understand why it terrorized me so much, and gave me a better perspective of existence. I am still not over it because I think that when my body dies My consciousness dissipates and I am not aware anymore , I won’t be able to get in front of “IT” anymore. That is why I love dmt, it has helped me to learn and understand so much. It’s a compound that opens your mind and lets you do more with your brain. It’s not a compound that makes you feel good like ecstasy, it’s not a compound that relieves your pain as heroin, it’s not a compound that gives you energy as cocaine. It’s not a pleasant experience at all, but it helps you because it puts you right in front of what YOU fear the most. When you are in front of it, YOU can decide if you let it terrorize you, or if you accept it, or change it, or overcome it. At least that was my experience. I suspect that when you are in peace you still face the same “horrible” things, but the whole experience is different just because you are in peace. The most important learning for me was not to fight IT, not to cry when I see IT, don’t put myself in an unenjoyable spot because of IT. Rather see IT, Accept IT, and Love IT...

Hi and welcome. I'm also new here. I would advise you to not mythologize a substance too much or you might find yourself alienating people.

Other than that, DMT is indeed fascinating. But respect it, and always apply the lessons it teaches. It's a tool for real world change, I believe. That's the entheogenic spirit.

As someone who "loves" mushrooms probably as much you love DMT, have you tried them? They too are a great tool of addressing many of the same things DMT teaches.

Keep it safe, productive, constructive, never obsess. Always apply teachings.
