Hi Nexus,
My partner is a trainee slothologist and a believer in Bradypusian supremacy*. I'm somebody dedicated to a vision of the latent (and mostly ignored) potential humans have to consciously change, develop, and artistically reform themselves into many different and divergent forms of life. We explore the psychedelic realms and chart our experiences there together.
She's a little less experienced than I am, but has quickly taken to the world of DMT, in all its combinations and variants. She's currently constructing a visual Pokedex of all the different Changa and Ayahuasca (and Salvia**) varieties we try, and of the sorts of experiences and entities encountered during trips on them.
I'm also attempting to chart these realms in another way, constructing a Philosophy of Science (more accurately an experiential and practical form of epistemology amenable to synthesis with the essence of the Scientific Method) that integrates my experiences. Ultimately I think that the implications of the Psychedelic experience, although intuited occasionally, have received far less systematic and logically coherent attention than it warrants. I'm also very experienced in a number of obscure esoteric/magickal paths and schools of esoteric psychology whose insights I find equally important, and am attempting to integrate into this new and more complete way of systematically approaching knowledge of our world.
We really do have a lot we can't wait to discuss and work out here. We've been using the invaluable information on the Nexus for just over half a year to aid our explorations, and would now like to give back and learn by interaction.

*Bradypusian supremacy entails the superiority of the three-toed sloth to all other life-forms currently known to the human sciences. Sloths are held to be the ideal model for human society and deity. The arguments in favour of this position deserve a full elucidation, which I will leave to my partner.
**Unlike her, I can't do Salvia in its smoked form. Some kind of fundamental systemic clash between us. Just goes horribly every time.
