G'day ladies and gents of the Nexus!

I'm not great with introductions so bare with me.
A little about myself,

I'm what you'd call a seeker, I wasn't always a seeker, I kind of stumbled upon it through my meditation. I've spent the last seven years shaking a methamphetamine addiction, trying a multitude of methods to rid of cravings and put my life back on track. Its been an interesting journey to this place, finally to meet you wonderful people.

I'm a seasoned drug taker from my past, and this will be my first time breaking my sobriety in seven years. I feel that I've outlived the usefulness of living under the materialist paradigm, and I'm ready now to explore the mystery of infinite consciousness.

I've been reading the beautiful posts of the people here, and I'm rather speechless. I've learnt so much just from reading your experiences with DMT and the purely constructive attitude towards learning about this misunderstood substance is liberating.

I've never used DMT, although I have some experience with other psychedelics. It's taken a lot of self-inquiry to decide that I'm ready to experience what DMT has to offer, it seems the consensus that DMT will expose you to what you NEED to know, not necessarily what you'd LIKE to know, and thats the kind of teacher I work best with.

I have a lot to learn, and much to read from you all. I hope I can be of some help somewhere along the journey, as you have all been so helpful to me.

Much love to you all.

Welcome dude and be safe in your reasearch and travel, safety and respect is the key

Hey AusRequiem, welcome

Many here have been through past addictions of sorts, me included. That's great to hear you're wanting to end it hopefully, especially amphetamines.

Amphetamines are no joke, especially taken over time, especially with consistency (not my intent to sound preachy, sorry if so). And just like with opiates [my past addiction] ..nothing good comes from them, aside from the occasional medical usage.

Something I had heard Mckenna say in an old workshop talk he'd given at one point, talking that all those types of substances - amphetamines, opiates, cocaine, etc - that they end up being detractors, which I always liked that term he used, essentially obscuring and often taking one off of his/her path.

Yeah, take your time, maybe even months , and learn what there is to learn, especially with in regards to dmt extraction, which honestly it's not all that difficult, especially once you get the basics down, it's really not that difficult. You'll be good as long as you're earnest in wanting to learn, then everything else should end up falling in place

Fall in love with it and it'll fall in love with you..

Thanks brother, respect and safety are definitely key

Thanks tatt, it was a destructive habit, for all involved, I own that (you definitely dont sound preachy). I severed contact with anybody associated many years ago, it was hard to leave friends but at least I came clean.

I like the detractors relation, they absolutely are.

Ill make good use of these forums, so much to read. When I'm ready I'll start growing an acacia, and take it all nice and slow

Thanks brother.
