Greetings! After years of using the Nexus as an information source, SWIM has decided to join the community.
SWIM is a 20 year old college student from the US. He's been using entheogens for the past 3 years and has had experience with cannabis, lsa, salvia, mushrooms, mescaline, and more recently, DMT. He's had the best and worst times of his life on lsa(and mushrooms to a lesser extent) and it has helped him remove destructive subconscious thoughts, open up to people, and change his personality for the better and overall lead a more happy, meaningful life. While DMT has yet to reveal any meaningful lessons to SWIM (first entity contact told him he's not yet ready for what it has to show him), he's witnessed its amazing potential at sub-breakthrough levels. SWIM is very interested in learning and sharing new ways of integrating these deep psychedelic experiences into one's everyday life as well as learning how to reach psychedelic states through other means such as meditation.
SWIM used this forum and a few other forums that discuss psychedelics as sources of information and wisdom for the past few years but favor the DMT Nexus because of the mature and humble attitude of its members. He's decided to join because of a longing to share ideas and experiences with people who understand the serious potential of these substances. Unfortunately in his life he's been surrounded by people who either ignorantly view psychedelics as harmful addictive substances or people who use them as a means to simply "trip balls" and not really take anything back from the experience, so there are very few people with which to discuss this potential and practical steps towards achieving it. SWIM is hoping to find that outlet here.
