Today, I smoked 30mg of DMT with the leaf bed method. I didn't break through, but the experience was very interesting.

About 30 minutes later, still feeling effects I decided to go for a bike ride. I entered a path in the woods, and things started to explode with life.

I started hearing hyperspace sounds coming from all different parts of the woods, this amazed me, and I believed I was sensing life. Every single form of life had its own distinct sound and aura. Plants were very weak, but insects and small bird were stronger.

A little ways down the path I encountered a crow. It was BEAMING with signals, and had a very loud and more complex sound then anything I had seen in the woods.

I believe the reason why I had gotten such intense feelings from the crow is because of their high intelligence.

What do you think of this?

I can't really verify that I've had a similar experience, but that crow in the video's cool!

I had know idea about these guys.

I too have had after glow experiences in nature that were very similar to yours...A kind of awareness that everything around me, plant or animal, was just as aware of me as I was of them....

Oh yes, I have had very similar experiences with various methods. Both entheogens, meditation and intentional thought can now lead me to this point where I can sense the energy radiating from everything alive. I believe it is because one have a heightened sense of awareness in which you can sense energies you normally only sense subconsciously. If you want to revisit this place, try to think of how the experience felt, and focus on that feeling while holding your eyes closed and breathing deep and slow for a few minutes.

I did some experimentation, I meditated like you said to try and revisit the place, I did have an enjoyable trance like experience, but could not reach the same state of mind.

I then smoked a small amount of DMT (10mg) got very borderline effects, and started to meditate once again. Within a few minutes, the trees were alive! The more I meditated, the stronger it got and it seemed like it kept growing stronger. At one point I placed both my hands on a large oak, and I could feel its organic energies flowing through it.

I believe with a little more practice, I will be able to reach this realm without the aid of any entheogens.

Right on my man! Entheogens combined with meditation really is wonderful. They are two vastly different techniques, but they may both lead to some of the same types of consciousness. Just keep on doing what you are doing, you seem to be on the right path. Follow your heart!

Its interesting that you mention crows . I always journey out in nature. With that comes some very interesting nature-spice related experiences. One thing i have consistently noticed is many time right after a big hit the wind will come up really strong. I've seen this countless times.

Crows One day while deep in the forest at one of my many journeying spots I took a large hit from the VG. Almost immediately a cluster of about 30 - 40 crows ( no exaggeration) showed up about 20 yards away from me.
They were going crazier than i've ever heard crows go. It was one of the most chaotic natural sounds i've ever heard . They stayed at a fever pitch of fast repeated crazy crowing for many many minutes it kept on going and going. In the meantime i'm trying to manage a pretty intense spice run. it was so intense i could barely handle it.

This took place later in the afternoon. I read someplace that they will do this around roosting time. I've heard them do this while chasing a hawk out of an area . This time they were 'nt chasing anything they just stayed clustered up in a tree going bananas. I walked over after i was able to take a look.

it was quite a memorable experience. Crows are very interesting animals.

Crows ftw!!
