I hear her song in the silence, just before dawn. Carried on the wind, it resonates from a yet unknown source,...within perhaps, and I will answer. My sails are mended and my vessel sound for having traversed so many seas. As I embark today I am reminded that this journey will bring uncharted territory. Having landed the isles of salvia, psilocybin, lsd and peyote, I have navigated the tryptamine straits and set anchor on the event horizon on more than a few occasions,..yet,..dare I say,.may need some preventative maintenance done on my sextant!

Having learned of N 5-meo's and done some research I decided this may very well be the key to my next level of consciousness and spiritual awareness, so I procured some materials thru an online source with intent on oral administration. I briefly scanned the instructions, planning to do an in depth reading prior to preparation, when the site unexpectedly closed. So here is what I have(how the materials arrived) and plan to do. I welcome any advice in this matter.

10 grams Acacia heterophyllia root bark (pulverized to strand/powder mix,loose) 8 lg. clear gel caps containing betula alba birch. I recall these amnts. being 2 moderate doses or 1 strong. I will simmer the bark 3 times for 3hrs per interval, using filtration and decanting methods outlined by various sources, finally combining the three and dividing this in half. Unless results on potency are affected optimally, I wont use citric or vinegar in this process.(taste is not a concern) As there are 8 caps of my MAOI, I will ingest 4 caps 1/2 hr prior to my moderate dose.. Grab my bucket, turn on the Schumann resonance clips and hit the recliner. Got a sitter and prepared with 48 hr diet so,..hoping for an enlightened experience. Bon Voyage Peace to all fellow travellers,!

Odisseus had himself tied to the mast of his ship in order to be able to hear the sirens song without jumping in after them, while the rest of his crew plugged their ears. I've always liked this image also in this context - following the call is great, but it's even better if you can listen to it withoug screwing yourself up it's a message about being grownded (or masted?)

I too have never heard of birch as a MAOI.

In any case I wish you good luck with your endeavor. Do tell about how it went and what you got out of it.

You have caught me somewhat unawares in this matter as I am at an early stage in extraction and administration but this is what I've come to understand and how I arrived. I've been doing research for some time in Native American homoeopathic methods and recently been looking into holistic approaches to cancer treatments, both of which involve white birch, primarily,the bark. Some apparent effects were characteristic of MAOI's so I did some searching and found that its been used as an MAOI in Europe for some time and I think your correct on the betulinic acid idea. I dont know if its ability to inhibit or regulate EMT markers in cancer cells thru deamination classifies it as an MAOI but it certainly uses the same mechanisms. Need to look into reversibility and possible tyramine diet hazards, but as you said, effects are mild. I'm unfamiliar with the "chaga fungi fruit" you mentioned but have a feeling you may be on to something there too, definitely have to check it out. I'll be taking my journey in the next couple days and post results. Thanx for the response and different angle of thought. Look forward to sharing Nemaste,.....Peace

Thanx Enoon for your reply. My introduction was rather vague, brief and possibly over romanticized but I just wrote what came to me and,...it had a theme! Hey, I've been stranded on this planet for 55 yrs and chased the mantra,"above all things,,. know thyself", for the last 30, and during that time I've come to be very, "grounded", in that I am very familiar with most aspects of myself, specifically, altered consciousness. I am, however, new to this environment and will take pre cautions. May be hitting you up for advice or questions so if theres any basics a newb should know, please post,.....Peace!

Welcome Pearl, I enjoyed the romantic air to your post, romanticism is scarce these days. Good luck with the extraction!

Thanx Miasmatis,.! So many wonderful spirits here. Hit me up if youd like. Im just getting my feet wet but always ready to relate experiences and up for some philosophical palaver. Peace to you in this harmonious realm,.!

Hey Pearl! I am always all ears when it comes to others' personal experiences! I've read and listened to 1000s and everyday I still find myself smiling and laughing or choked up with emotion! Please feel free to share hH is always listening

Welcome to the Nexus!

So a flying letter, a dimming stop. Fearless parade in an ever enclosing peak hole - the wooden terrain seeping through, and with it looped. Arising the pen, the broken slab across and being traded by passengers aboard. "Come on now gentlemen, we've yet to explore."

Songs are of languages and words so capitalized form a transcending meaning behind the flow. And so slow it lingers through, like a melting pot for a dinner's stew. And yet she falters, oh parading queen whisperer. Tangible sorts of permissions and privileges, to say very eagerly the welcome song.

Beautiful,.thank you for a most alluring and intriguing welcome,..and you as well hH,.! My puters' been down for awhile and I've come to realize the anticipation of returning here to share experience and love,..its quite fulfilling and I'm truly thankful to be a part of this community. I recently returned from a profound first journey and want to relate experience and wisdoms revealed to me, but I fear it may be quite lengthy. Where would be the best place to post,.?,.....Oh, and where was your passage from? I would have more of this,.! Peace to you and all the amazing souls here.

Welcome pearl; in the Welcome Area, there's a place named 'First Steps in Hyperspace' which you may post your report/experience in. Do tell!

Rite on CC and thanx for the welcome. I'm sure much of what we experience on initial journeys is familiar at the on set and many wonderful revelations shared throughout as we are all entities of cosmic vibrations and light(realized) during these levels of awareness. (pardon the loose terminology) I have also become aware that to share these experiences,insights/wisdoms, is as important and as much a part of journey as the journey its self because once in,(out?),there are many,many paths and each of us are very unique in our abilities, levels of comprehension and tolerance for vast mysteries,...so,.I,..will save the rest for the post,....

It is not my intent to know all the mysteries of the universe,..only to be free from my "self",..,..Peace to you!
