Well, I tried and failed.
Failed in the sense that I didn't breakthrough. I did however have a quite powerful experience in which an entity was trying to forcibly pry my consciousness from my body and replace it with his consciousness. This brought up some interesting questions about what is actually going on with your body when you enter hyperspace, it seems your consciousness leaves your body and may just be free floating there or maybe it has to be placed into a "body" there in order to be aware.
However it happens I am more interested in what is going on with your physical body during the process. It seems impossible to me that you could have a functioning body without a consciousness, so is another consciousness entering your body while you are gone? Never thought about it this way until this experience.
Also probably the most important thing gained from this experience is that I have decided that what is really important to me at this point in time is that I be completely "involved" in my own life rather than exploring other dimensions. I have had this thought many times usually on mushrooms but this time it was quite profound. I as I'm sure most of you here do, spend a LOT of time thinking about things that are not of this world or the afterlife. I spend much time looking for the "answers" or entertaining different philosophies about life and death and such things. I have come to the conclusion that what I am seeking has been found, at least for now.
These are my own thoughts so I don't expect anyone to agree with them but they are true for me at this point in time.
Life is about living. Plain and simple, my consciousness/soul has been given a chance to live it and create anything I want with it. The problem is I spend too much time searching for what is right in front of me, I need to live my life as it is and not worry about the afterlife, alternate dimensions, entities or hyperspace. We have the opportunity to create anything with our lives all we need is to focus and direct all of our attention to it, otherwise it seems we just get caught in the loop of looking for answers.
With this I will be taking an extended vacation from the Nexus and focusing fully on making my life what I want it to be. I have been feeling stuck lately and this was the push that I needed. I want to move forward with my life and I have a lot to get done. I'm sure I will pop in now and then (old habits die hard) and may partake in the spice here and there but probably won't be going for a breakthrough anytime soon. I have seen the other side plenty of times and I think I can wait for it again.
The spice along with all entheogens are teachers after all and I feel that I have been taught a valuable lesson, the same lesson many times, it is just now sinking in.
Maxx, I hope you are riding it out OK. And I hope the rest of the newbie solidarity group has as good a time as I did if not better <3
