This evening I had the pleasure of meeting an Amazing man. He was a homeless man I stopped to give my sandwich to.

He wasn't your stereo typical kind of homeless man, he told me a lot about himself but he also mentioned he really enjoyed being homeless. describing as one of the best times of his life (wow i thought this guy was genuinely happy).

Then it came clear why as he talked deeper and deeper he told me he had spent a lot of time alone self teaching himself looking for answers within. He was very spiritually aware of consciousness and the truth of oneness. Then I spluttered out about DMT I was sure he would have known about it but he did not. It shocked me that he had reached this level of enlightenment in his situation and things that had happened throughout his life. I discussed DMT a little but not to deeply I explained about my perception of reality and consciousness and he was also shocked, he asked when did i start seeking myself within and I said about 12 months ago and he was dumbfound. I mean he could not understand how I had achieved it living my lifestyle saying he couldn't live a life like ours working and stress, he said well I could live that materialistic life but then I'd be to distracted from the meaning of life itself.

In a strange way I got where he was coming from I explained DMT was the reason for my accelerated path to enlightenment and he was very interested in trying it, I explained quite clearly its legal status. and this just made me think a lot.

I do believe meeting him me has taught me a great deal and was waiting all alone for me to pop along for the chance encounter.

Do any of you have any friends or family you can connect with who is totally on your level, unfortunately I only share you guys and the first person I actually meet on my level of thinking with consciousness and I mean literally down to crossing the t's and dotting the i's. And to think I have never in person meet anyone who thinks like this and yet this man had never even heard of or tried DMT.

It was a very pleasurable experience to communicate with someone on that level.

I think enlightenment can be a tricky word to talk about, but I certainly think people carry with them various levels of positive energy, consciousness and knowledge of the path in different forms and expressions. Everyone is learning, and this world/universe is here to teach you about it and push one to grow regardless of work with DMT or not. I think you got it when you said DMT accelerated your growth. It is a catalyst, but one still needs to walk the path. If one has been walking and learning from the path for a while, then no catalyst is needed. It's like, all the materials are there.. the paint has always been there, it just depends if you have an art teacher or not as to how quick you learn. Either way, it requires practice and error.
Answering your question more.. I have met people absolutely on 'my level' who have never touched a substance. I actually am currently attending a Christian institution where I sometimes meet people who carry immense amounts of light and positivity that is beyond even what I can bring sometimes. And I too wonder.. how the heck did they get there? Have they met the other side and the entities? And they usually haven't, but they've come to understand some of the truths and paths of this universe via other means - whether religion, study, or various forms of charity. Regardless of the path taken, learning seems to occur. DMT is a teacher and tool, but certainly one can be an autodidact.
