Very well said.

I have experienced a LOT of changes in my life since taking DMT for the first time way back in June. They are for the better in the sense that I have a deeper awareness of who I am. The changes are for the worse because there has been some pretty profound cognative dissonance in my life over the last few years (in case you didn't figure that out from my screen name...) and it has been brought into sharp focus by my experiences in hyperspace. I've become more or less miserable around a good many of the people I've been thinking of as my friends, because my worldview is so drastically different from theirs. It isn't that the elves changed my worldview to bring it into dissonance with my "friends," it always has been, but I've successfully sublimated my own opinions and viewpoints, stopped being the kind of person who speaks up for himself, and allowed myself to be content with people who love me because I pretend to be the kind of person they love rather than finding people who love me for the person that I am. So... Has DMT helped me... Not really. It's only helped me realize how much energy I'd been wasting pretending to be someone I wasn't, or at least the energy I'd spent allowing others to believe I was someone I wasn't. I never lied to anyone about my thoughts or feelings, just withheld critical info or opinions in order to slide under the door and into their lives and hearts. I feel shitty now because I now see that I don't have any real friends other than my wife, and I feel shitty because I will inevitably hurt these people I love when I can't take it anymore and reveal who I really am, which, I fear/hope/dread/rejoice, is coming VERY soon.

^^^ Well that's sad. I hope you can eventually make things better, and one day you may find that the DMT really did change your life for the better.

I haven't done DMT enough for it to have had a big effect on my life. I can say with absolute conviction that mushrooms have changed my life, and for the better. Hopefully soon I will be able to have an Aya journey.

It changed your life if your typing in here !

To say dmt has 'changed' me and my life is an understatement. These experiences (both smoked and oral) have drastically altered my perceptual lens of reality and how I interact with the world outside and the world inside. Not a day goes by where I don't think of 'that place', a teething reality of incomprehensible beauty and intensity. <3

Most definantly DMT has played a part in transforming myself for the better. But DMT alone cannot do it, Anyone using DMT has to make the effort to create the change. It made me look at every aspect of my being from the inside out and it made me sick and still does to think how i treated people and lived my life just 3-4 years ago. Because DMT awakened me, i am such a better person in general. I have incredible empathy for all my brothers and sisters out there, i am understanding and accepting more so than i was, I've met amazing, like minded people who will be lifelong friends, i've become a better father, husband, and son! Most of all, I've learned to truly accept who i am and love myself and that lifts my frequency vibration.

Most definitely "yes for the better" this thread explains the physical difference it has imparted to my life

Beyond that psychologically it has helped my in many diffent ways. Confidence has been boosted (if you can handle facing a trip into hyperspace and stare ego death in the face you're a capable human being).

I no longer bottle things up, I say it as it is (this can be good and bad but you are being true to yourself which is very liberating).

I'm less quick to judge and more measured in my outlook and interactions.
