Hello people, Thank you so much for all your knowledge shared as I already have extracted my medicine from ACRB and have been traveling. It's been absolutely amazing so far and I owe it mostly to this forum.

I have been aware of this compound and it's affects for nearly 20 years. It's always interested me. For whatever reason I've taken the plunge. Now I have so many questions. What is this stuff? Why is it so amazing yet I can hardly bring myself to doing it? How did it rid me of all of my anger? Is something trying to communicate with me?

Mostly I would like to know if it is normal to see an elephant head while you are there??? Because I do on most trips. I told my wife about it an she thought it sounded like a t-shirt she saw. After some research I decided it was the one with one tusk, shri Ganesha. I'm already headed down the buddist path because of these ecounters. But I have never known about this elephant deity. What does it mean? It's usually the only thing I can recognize. Once it danced for me like a peacock. Then built me the craziest sarcoficus, put me inside attached a thread to my third eye, played it like a guitar with the music in my headphones to the point I could feel the notes vibrating through my body. Then I can only assume what happened was he stitched me a new body. I could feel it, like snakes I guess, slithering rapidly back and forth throughout my body to the point I felt like I was on a vibrating bed I was shaking so much. But it all felt so amazing.

Anyway, probably more information from me is coming. Thanks again to everyone for sharing.

Any Ganesha information would much appreciated.

Welcome to the Never-Ending Mystery Cormac!

You will find that this path generally engenders many more questions than it does answers. If you are able to wrap your head around that and simply be OK with that, then you'll be just fine.

Elephant heads are just one of the infinite amount of things that you might encounter on your hyperspatial journeys. I don't think anyone can really say for certain that seeing a particular thing or meeting a particular entity while traversing hyperspace is "normal" or not.

I truly can't say that there's anything remotely "normal" about the DMT experience whatsoever.

So with that said, I bid you a warm welcome to the Nexus.

Peace

As a side note, I think that to appreciate what each has to teach, it is useful to remember what the differences are between Buddhism and Hinduism.

Good luck

I also have some things that show up in nearly every experience. There is this girl I used to know from the music scene I was part of in the 90s. I never really liked her and have never been interested in getting to know her. She always seemed like she was too cool for school. For some reason, she has shown up in 90% of my trips for the last few years. I don't understand it. Is it normal? Is anything "normal" on dmt?

Another common feature: Approximately 90% of breakthroughs start in a space that has a refrigerator in it. The space could be anything. A sea of eyes, a nest of loving hyperspace snakes, a 1950s computer room with blinking lights, the candy shoppe, deep space... there's always a refrigerator there. Along with the presence of an ancient woman who often has a broom made of leaves that she waves over me as she dances.

You seem to be indicating that you don't understand what's going on. Sounds like you are on the right track. Welcome to the mystery.

Thanks for the welcome and wise words.
