Hello fellow Nexians! It's about time I post my introduction essay as I've been registered since December absorbing as much information as possible until I realized I need to start building up communication in the forum if I am to continue extracting etc. The Nexus has been a great resource for me so I'd like to add to the information with my little bit of knowledge and experience.
I have always been interested in altered states of consciousness and what can be learned from reality by using these experiences as a contrast. There's just so many perspective changing questions raised when one decides to delve into psychedelics. I feel my main goal in all of this is to use my direct experience with the world in combination with an altered state as reference to understand the psychology of people, the world, and the meaning of existence along with the laws behind reality.
Being my age, just finishing my first year in Uni, I feel there are pros and cons in leading up to my exploration in the way that I have begun. I am glad to have found such a logical and insightful bunch at such a young age so that I may get a head-start in what I may find, but also it can mean I am prone to naivety and must tread lightly as I am inexperienced in the sense of years.
I look forward to this new step in my adventure!
