Hello,


i've been lurking around for 3 years on this forum. Sensing that i've read a huge part of this forum, i finally decided to join so i'll start to briefly introduce myself to you great, bright, passionate and friendly people

I'm from Germany, 39 years old, working in IT security industry for almost 15 years now and got a quite some responsibility there due to being responsible for 4 teams worldwide. I'm saying this because it turned out to be quite challenging on the long run being deeply into daily business of this world on the one hand and exploring consciousness using entheogens/psychedelics leading to a shamanic mindset on the other.. (-;

I started to smoke cannabis at the age of 16 on a daily base (although having had a brake for ~ 1 year due to cannabis-related driving permission issue. My interest in psychedelics started at the age of 17 with Shrooms, Mescaline and LSD. My experience with those substances is quite extensive, especially with my beloved LSD which i still do use every full moon at least.

Considering myself as a passionate lover of electronic dance music, i'll also admit that i've also got a lot of experience with 'recreational' drugs like MDMA, Amphetamines, Cocaine

I started educating myself in Entheogens/DMT ~ 3 years ago. I'm sure i read almost all posts by Spiceycat @ hipforums these days and i did my first extractions using her tek (thanks a lot, Pandora

I did and still do a lot of research all over the internet - every day. Never having done Pharma/Ayahuasca yet, my experience is limited to vaporized DMT freebase using a GVG only (~ 40 sessions).

That's it for now. Looking forward to participate in Nexus' Entheogenic University -

It's great to see seasoned psychonauts such as yourself around here. I wish you all the best on your journey.

Welcome to the Nexus, NickNatter.

It's a little like performing, isn't it? But not in a hypocritical sense, more like an actor doing his part. The longer you have been playing, the better you know the script, and the easier you can make the audience laugh, cry or feel secure with the job you do.

Then the shaman may remind you what a piece of a hologram you are, playing your ego since it started to collapse from the whole many years ago... but then there's actors who play an actor. It can be very fun.

Welcome to the Nexus.

Greetings NickNatter and welcome!

Sounds like you'll fit right in.
