This is my introduction essay for the forum My name is Subtendedspace7 you can call me Subspace. I first had the experience roughly two years ago and have started to want to experience it again. This time I would like to learn how to do my own extraction and I'll admit I am nervous about it. I also greatly enjoy reading other people's experiences with altered states of mind. It is one of my dreams to partake in an AYA ceremony one day if I am ever ready for that. I was influenced by Mckenna talking about "Watching a nuclear blast behind a sheet of crystal clear glass" and I could only feel puzzled by his words about it. I have also come here, besides a thirst of knowledge, for a sense of connection with other people who might know how I feel about such experiences. Sometimes I also feel a bit of anxiety over it because of how society views altered states of mind at least here in the states. I think about if I had never experienced it or other times I have had with Cubensis and I think about if I regret those experiences...I have never once regretted a single time even the challenging journeys. This has been my brief introduction essay and thank you to anyone who reads it with my sincere gratitude
