Hello everyone.
I never know what to say on these things. Please excuse me if I rant for too long, but then again, I guess you're free to stop reading at any time.
I guess I came here out of curiosity and found a lot more than expected. I've been browsing the forum for a while, admiring this fantastic and ridiculously beautiful idea you guys present. The notion that one can (or will) find oneself with the help of entheogens seemed mad at first glance. Now this was years ago, before I even knew the word. My reasoning at the time was that the external artifice would only infect, affect and degrade the experience, and that the only true truth (the pure one) was to be found solely through "sober" meditation. As it turns out, I was wrong.
I was never one to question my reality. The world around me always seemed to make sense and every moment was plausible. There were few unexplained phenomenon, and even the unexplainable was somehow easy to understand. Ironically, it was this exact sense of normalcy that surprised me the most. It was strange that the world could be so predictable. There were cycles in every single little thing. And even the bumps in the road tended to repeat themselves somewhere. I bet you see where I'm going with this.
I came into the new world through salvia divinorum. It wasn't the right time, nor place, nor were my friends the best to do it with. But at the time I hardly knew what I was getting into. In fact, I hardly knew anything worth a damn. It was both illuminating and terrifying. I was unsure of my own existence for a few days and I only remembered the color of the sky when I actually looked at it. What I saw then was simply a spinning wheel of sorts. It showed me there was something beautiful beyond itself. And ever since then I've wondered how to reach that wheel again and break through it.
After my brief experience with salvia divinorum, I experimented with lsd only to find that it takes you nowhere. This leads me to right now, and my tremendous curiosity with dmt. What I ask is a little bit of guidance through the journey. What form of ingestion should I use, if I should get something ready or extract it myself... I believe you've heard these questions asked over and over again, so the answers shouldn't trouble you too much.
Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you all!
