Very interesting, Aegle. I'm going to have to do some reading on the subject of tantric philosophy now! Appreciate the response and the tip!

Has anyone identified ways in which you can have profound aural experiences like this without breaking through into wonderland?

Based on the amount i inhaled in the described experience i should have had a full psychedelic experience with visuals. Even though i knew that the dmt content was likely mostly vaporized previously i still felt it come on pretty strongly. Yet all i experienced was the sounds, and they were clearer than ever before.

Is there a magic dose, perhaps a smaller dose, that people experience more of the aural phenomena? I'm still pondering over this experience and it seemed quite odd in comparison to anything else i've experienced. It was almost like it was meant to happen.

I stand firm in believing that DMT has a consciousness of its own, or rather that DMT is indeed pure consciousness itself. from the way that it "b**chslaps" you when you disrespect it, to the way it regulates itself through quick tolerance buildups, to the coincidental nature of how it seems to KNOW exactly what its trying to tell you and how it won't stop until it gets its point across.

I'm the only person who ive ever heard of having DMT refuse to let me breakthrough again until i completely watch every last second of a prior trip. Its happened several times where i've opened my eyes during a trip when the visuals became diminished and less profound, and when i went to blast off again(sometimes weeks later), it would not let me see ANYTHING until i laid there with my eyes closed and watched the last few seconds of the previous trip that i had bailed early on. I find all of this quite strange.

i'm rambling now, but i guess i'm looking for insights. And i'm wondering if DMT is like a universal stream of consciousness that is flowing everywhere at all times, but also has enough of its own awareness to interact almost intelligently with the subject.

amazing stuff

i think once you start not focusing on the visuals so much (which we're mostly pre-programmed/told to do) then the other senses which convey information can be appreciated more fully..

Fascinating thread. My sense of sound certainly acts strange on DMT. I can't be sure what dosage would be ideal for the auditory effects (rarely weigh doses). I've even felt tapped into nearby trees and their rustling leaves that were then picked up by wind and the rustling built tremendously acting as my carrier wave to breakthrough. The scanning is something I haven't experienced personally but have surely read a report with something similar. I will attempt to search for it when I can and share the link. It is a very interesting phenomena in my mind. I will certainly pay more attention to my other senses and keep this in mind for future journeys.

I also wonder if DMT may provide more direct access to a universal stream of consciousness that we are always connected to on some level. The fullness of the DMT experience to the emotional and sensory extremes would lead one to liken it to a strong or more direct connection. I wonder if other performable acts may tap into this universal stream on some weaker or indirect level as well. Can we, on some level, tap into this universal stream of consciousness with acts such as stream of consciousness thinking or writing, singing, rapping, speaking, praying, playing music, drawing, painting, acting, building, or seemingly any other form of expression? Can we strengthen this link by letting our "selves" go and letting "our" selves flow, so to speak? Numerous high profile figures (and others of course) have made claims that they felt the product of their work was not a product of their own work, but rather something working through them. This can be found to be true in many areas of expression. Even in a good conversation or brainstorming session I can feel that free flowing connection and creation.

Hope I'm not falling off of your topic MomentOfTruth. If I didn't, I'm probably about to. A fly also played a starring role in one if my experiences. Building into breakthrough it flew in my field of vision and did a dance routine (from my perspective) before my reality disappeared. Once I pop out of breakthrough I look down at my bubbler and see the fly next to it, the fly immediately does some zig-zagging to the middle of lamp stand next to me. I look it straight in the eyes from mere inches and it doesn't flinch. The fly just stares right back at me, rubbing its front legs together as if saying, "I'm ready..." So I did what any kind soul would and reciprocated. Performing a dance for the fly and enjoying the living daylight out of the 3-4 dimensional space I inhabit. Fly didn't look too impressed with my abilities to be honest, but at least watched the full show.

I do feel there are more to our senses than we know. Maybe we even have more senses than we know?

Lovely report, thanks for sharing.
