When I saw it waiting for me behind my eyelids, It took up all of my awareness at once just to focus on it and the first thing I thought was "this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" and the second thing I thought (not to mention the 3rd which hurled me into space and 2 visions) was am I the only person to have seen this, and I knew T. McKenna also described it as such. I'm just curious, since I've even met a few people who have shared in this delight, who here at the Nexus has taken part in this perspective?

I've had mandala visions during takeoff several times. One time it was spinning, and massively intricate almost like Persian rug patterns. Another time I saw a large one in the center, but it was surrounded by several other ones, all of them shifting and morphing. And yeah, gorgeous.

I've seen everything around me burst into a chrysanthemum pattern, and the first time I did it I saw a huge chrysanthemum fractalize into a tunnel.

I suspect that this wondrous Grid, the interconnecting web of energy we SEE when we ascend into the higher spheres, is a universal phenomenon and not just something produced by specific chemical reactions (as with hallucinations)... or is it?

I have seen this same Chrysanthemum pattern stretching into Infinity, each and every time I have vaped Spice. I knew it instantly, as I had witnessed it before on LSD and P. mushrooms (although not quite as vivid or highly detailed).

Mind you, I had read zero literature about DMT at all. I hadn't heard much a bout this molecule, nor known anyone who did. So, only after my initial voyages, did I hear of this term being spoken of, as well as the "carrier wave", which seems so intricately connected to the appearance of this morphing Grid pattern.

I recall coming down from my very first series of liftoffs... a thought occurred to me as my mind began to recrystallize it's subjective cognition. I remembered a tune by John Lennon of The Beatles, Glass Onion. So, in that exact instant, I thought to myself, "that's what he meant, the Unified Field of Energy"!

In Hindu cosmology, this is referred to as Sahasrara, the "Thousand Petaled Lotus". This blooming pattern is associated with the seventh chakra and has been described in the Vedic literature for thousands of years.

From what I have observed, at each criss-cross of intersection, a point of light shines (like a star), within the overall fabric of the ethereal energy mandala. Almost as if lines of laser-like energy are criss-crossing in an ever expanding curve-linear geometric pattern.

At the apex of my first discovery of this beatific Chrysanthemum, I perceived this pattern along the lines of a great hat, of sorts. I could see in my mind's eye, Mayan terracotta sculptures of beings with these tremendous caps upon their heads. These "hats/caps" were spiraling into the center of the crown of their heads and simultaneously, emanating exponentially outwards, stretching beyond the scope of anyone's individual consciousness.

In the past, I had thought these "caps" to be mushrooms headdresses and perhaps they are, indeed? still, under the potent blast of vaped DMT, all of these meanings become somewhat translucent in content and highly subject to our mortal interpretations. :idea:

As with all spiritual visions, those which re-occur and seem to happen to many, many other individuals going through the same neurological pathways. I believe that there are certain objective aspects to this Chrysanthemum. Specific qualities that can be compared, confirmed and discussed rationally amongst ourselves. The parameters appeared to be limitless, as the pattern expanded into the eternal reaches of all potentiality.

I can't speak for what any other travelers perceive, nor can any of us... but I have found that if I focus deep into the very center of this blooming pattern, a central radiance is pulsing rhythmically, as pure light (so blinding it washes all noticeable details away). Deep within this central vortex is an insubstantial brilliance and it is reflected by each of the billions of tiny points of light, occurring at the intersection of the Grid patterning.

To my mind, this looks very, very much like our own material galaxy, The Milky Way. The only major difference is that when we gaze up above, the lines that interconnect are not detectable, as with the visions perceived through the Third Eye (Singular Eye). I and many others, maintain that it is through this lens, that we SEE such blooming patterning so clearly.

Has anyone else seen thees pulses of light, at each and every point of intersection within the Chrysanthemum (or the Unified Field of the Grid)?

..with pure dmt at moderate levels, the 'chrysanthemum' is often if not usually there at the onset, like an initialising test pattern..one of immense beauty and presence, and spatialness..sometimes very faint..it does change, however, while remaining the 'same'
..full blown or other effects follow on or open out from it..

not seen by all, but reasonably common
