Just wanted to plant my flag! I am about to embark on my first DMT session. I've done a ton of research and have decided that I am in the correct place in life. This is not something I ever thought I would ever do and I am not taking this lightly. I look at this as an attempt to experience something new that can help me understand the world better. I'm in my 40's and have always been very curious about the underlying systems that run our world. I have always had, what I can only call a compulsion, to pursue information that can help me build a personal philosophy or a theory of everything. This compulsion has been a great gift. I learned things in my twenties that I thought were just cool to know at the time that ended up, in my 30's, being exactly what I needed to know at the perfect time to know it and it allowed me capitalize on an awesome life changing opportunity. This same compulsion to seek information has brought me down many rabbit holes and has lead me here.

I don't have any expectations of what specifically I will take away from the experience. I am just going to keep an open mind and go where ever it takes me and take what I can from it. Even though I have done an incredible amount of research in the last few weeks I would be happy to hear from like minded people who have already gone through with it. Anything that you feel you would like to add or any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like you are approaching it all in a very healthy way!

Suggestions? Please enjoy! It is an amazing experience!

Welcome to the Nexus!

Sounds like you have put curiosity to good use in your life. Make sure you allow yourself some time after the experience, days to a week perhaps, to spend some time integrating whatever the experience shows you. It may generate more questions than it answers, allow yourself time and space to contemplate before jumping back into the harness of life.

That is exactly the type of advise I'm looking for, thank you! I haven't put much consideration into integration. There is a lot of emphasis on preparation and the experience itself but the aftermath kind of gets left out. I will make sure I have a few days cleared (which is rare these days)

That's awesome! Will this be your first psychedelic sesh?

I think it will be great. You have the right idea in going in with no expectations. Not everyone breaks through their first time, depending on your method there could be some trial-and-error in getting it all administered correctly. Even if you don't get enough for a breakthrough dose it can still be a pretty meaningful experience though. You can also attempt it multiple times a day, although I recommend at least some break period in between tries just so that you're in a clearminded state
