I have tried DMT about three times now. I smoked it twice and tried the tea once. We weren't very successful whenever we were extracting it and smoking it so I never did get the full effect. But I do have a few question someone can hopefully shed some light on.

Each time I tried DMT it seemed to me to create a feeling of acceptance and submission to fate, also it seemed to create a portal to thinking deeply or feeling deeply. Now I know I did not experience a loss of ego (in a complete sense) or a loss of this world. But here is my question.

So people everyday have a mindset, and by this I mean a pattern in which people take information and use it in their brain, creating an experience. Everyone has a different mindset. So my question is. Depending on the mindset a person contains (how much ego is experienced, joy, sadness, happiness, ect...) can the effects of DMT vary in intensity or meaning? I guess what I am getting at here is are there lessons that DMT can teach that you could have already learned through pure thought process or meditation? Or is it completely foreign to the human mind?

Few things-

First, some people never have ego deaths with DMT. Immersion in a completely different state/reality is another story...

The effects of DMT can vary in intensity and meaning not just depending on a persons mind set. Yes, of course it is a factor, but everything is a factor.

As for lessons being learned...
Sometimes hyperspace isn't about a lesson.
The fact is, it isn't meditation, and it isn't yoga,
this is something completely different
that seemingly unifies all other methods of consciousness exploration.

Keep at it, and welcome to the DMT-Nexus.
