Thanks, reading a lot of this is really help me understand what exactly happened during my ayshuasca trip. I did learn a lot after taking it, and I felt that a constraining blanket of reality has forever been lifted from my shoulders. Though I'm realizing that I reached a pinnacle point in my trip where I couldn't let go. Like a previous poster said, it felt like I was face to face with death, and should I continue on ward, I would stop breathing. It's very hard to believe that beyond that point isn't that cessation of breath, with death soon to follow. But I suppose most people here have seen what's on the other side..

resistance has the opposite effect. I stopped a breakthrough on my first time by allowing the energy of the DMT to flow through me not to build. Any emotional attachments or phsyical tension only caught the energy. I also asked the entities (even though I had not broken through yet) to allow me to stay and not break through. I had intense paradoxical feelings and did not want to take it any further. One day I will be ready but the lessons I need to learn at this level are still present.
