I'm still trying to wrap my head around the definition of consciousness.

^ Finally, someone who agrees with me. =)

You could say the same about life in general.

@gibran2: That's because the SPICE IS LIFE!

^ Damn straight.

I agree with this statement in part.

You are the only user, or better yet, you are the only observer that you know for sure about.

As far as us other users or observers and otherworldly knowledge. All that you know is only speculation.

There is only one way to experience it. We who have experienced it, are one of the smallest minorities of this world. It is an alternate conciouness. Call it an experience,

OK,

Thats the beauty of the experience, its yours to interpret it as you will. No one else sees it, experiences it, integrates it or pushes it as far as you can.

That is what makes this, what we are experiencing, Bad Ass!

Two months have passed. I hope joebono is okay. I think this whole story does not end with the mere withdrawal of DMT, but continues for some time. And I believe it is very important to know the continuation of this history to understand all the impacts that DMT can exert on people's lives.

Is there any recent news about joebono? How is he feeling now? How is he dealing with the break with DMT and everything else in his life?

Joe posted less than a month ago in this thread...the search engine and/or member profiles work really nicely for seeing a member's most recent posts.

Sorry SnozzleBerry, I merely assumed that these were the last posts from him.

Good to know that he found new things to do for his life and a new "space" to explore, even though it is only the virtual space of a video game.

(Maybe even the hyperspace is purely virtual. Who really knows?)

Whatever it is, we have no idea. it's just plain awesome. For me it could be be an artistic tool. It's a shame such an extensive thread is devoted to such a negative experience with a substance the entire forum is mostly about.

No shame. There are many lessons to be learned in joebono history. It is very appropriate that this has happened here and not somewhere else because it allows us all to learn with his history and enrich our lives.

No shame whatsoever.

If you think this instant samadhi business doesn't potentially come with a price, I'd say that you're more than a little naive. It's important all those who endeavor to choose this understand the risks involved. We're not here to churn out an army of followers. We share honestly about our experiences - the good, the bad and the ugly.

This thing can shake you right down to the core. If it hasn't already, it will. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's any less serious than it actually is.
