Hello to all Nexians reading this.

I procrastinated finishing my questionnaire and since I've just finished that it seems a good time to write this.

I had my first interaction with DMT when I was younger and did not understand the gravity. It was 2007 at StillDream in the forest of Northern California. I had a very brief out of body experience where I floated around the festival. I thought that was what the experience was about. WRONG.

So here we are over 10 years later.. And quite by chance, it found me. In my soul and mind, I felt was in the right place, and that I was prepared, but there truly is no 'ready'.
My previous psychedelic experiences were no where near this intense or vivid, matter fact I had very different experiences with mushrooms and LSD. Reality would seem to bend slightly, but nothing like the folding in on itself of what you may perceive with DMT. Several of my early trips were spent in stage 3 (to me this is just before the breakthrough) conversing via impressions with an entity i think of as my guide about philosophy.
The first lesson was about the paramount importance of love. There have since been many lessons. I no longer feel beholden to any substances ( i used to smoke weed daily and now I suppose I can if I want but not in a way that feels like it's a requisite for a balanced state of mind). I could take it or leave it. If you told me that a couple months ago, I'd think you were crazy.

My connection with DMT is profoundly spiritual and I have a deep love and respect for the experience. It is not something I do as I would a drug to chase a high, and after the first blooming epiphany I can hardly picture myself using any drug in that way anymore.
I've done a few trips now and I feel I have the experience mapped out pretty clearly, so that when I go I have a sense of what to expect. (the unexpected?)
So why am I here though?
I am here mainly to observe, learn, and hopefully share when I have something worth saying. I want to help anyone coming after me to be safe and not harm themselves. I also am hoping I can give back to those who came before me and who's posts have helped me.
I have so many questions, and I have only touched on a little of my recent experiences.
I look forward to sharing and learning!! Let me know if you have any questions.
(also I have tons of really good PSYTRANCE recommendations if anyone is into that)
Thanks for Reading!!
