Hey, all! I am ThirdEyeOpen, or TEO if you prefer. I'm really happy to join you all here!

Let me give you a little background on myself.

I'm a 27-year-old female from Illinois, but I moved down to New Mexico a little over a year ago now, since my parents retired here to live somewhere warmer. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Video Game Art and Design and work as a designer and illustrator.

I have only recently gotten into psychedelics (my first time being with mushrooms in May of this year). I have now done mushrooms three times and LSD twice (along with marijuana on the random occasion). Though I am extremely new to the world of psychedelics, I have become incredibly and growingly fascinated with it thanks to my most recent mushroom trip (that was a fairly large dose - around 7 grams).

That last shroom trip I had was back at the end of June. However, since that day (because of how influential of an experience that was to me personally), I have been doing copious amounts of research, from reading personal experiences, to listening to many various YouTube videos and podcasts and watching documentaries. I am now currently reading Inner Paths to Outer Space by Dr. Strassman here at UNM (the author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule). I am very interested in learning more about the spiritual side to psychedelics along with higher consciousness and the worlds and places people go while under the influence of psychedelics and all that that entails, including ego death, communication with other entities, the idea of co-creation and other such insights, like manifesting consciousness, the influence of sacred geometry, the holographic universe, and numerology and its role.

I'm very much ever the inquisitive person, always wanting to learn and discover. I hope that, through psychedelics, I can solve at least a few mysteries for myself, despite the fact that I'm sure I will find I have more questions that spawn from whatever knowledge I may acquire.
