I was sitting outside facing my back yard, looking at a fig tree, the grass, and a sugarcane field in the back of my yard. After taking DMT, I realized (though nothing new), that all of nature works together like an engine, not like separate parts which work alone. The trees, the grass, the snakes, the squirrels, and my internal organs, all were one, and necessarily interrelated.
The grain in the wood of my back porch was beautiful, and I realized that it was not dead, that it was alive, in the sense that it was functioning as a purpose, as a back porch on which I was sitting and which was a part of my house. It was not yet rotten, but still very much alive and well.
At some point the fig trees leaves, the sugarcane, and the trees became menacing, all had become sharp as knives, and for a moment I got scared. I refused that interpretation and ‘flipped a switch’ to where I saw it all in such beauty and awe. I then realized that in nature there is indeed fear, intimidation, and death, but that it also contains beauty and life occurring simultaneously. Like a piece of art, both perspectives could or should be seen at once. They are equally true. There is not one or the other. I am one step closer to understanding the mystery of nature and our reality.

Not being rude or anything, but I think two experiences can be put into one topic...

Nice post brotha.

The times that I've done it outside I've felt very much the same way.... All is one big, massive, beautiful, intensely-terrifying-at-times, energetic bundle of experience that we call LIFE.

Thanks for posting this, it gives me more insight now on what I've been experiencing when observing different objects,(such as trees, grass, water, wood grain, paintings, concrete, etcetera)

and that nature itself is not all the sum of its parts. This is all subjective but it makes sense to me at least. Maybe the mind and soul cannot exist in the same realm, meaning, despite are physical bodies are or may be the sum or their parts, the soul can never be, since it is a part of nature and the universe.

I want to try to clarify what I was trying to say.

The universe is made up building blocks that are set and composed of matter, but they can be broken down to change into different forms. Chemistry 101: when something burns, it is chemical change and irreversible, so after burning a leaf, it is not possible to change it back to its original form. Physical changes observed throughout nature, for the most part, are reversible and do not involve the formation and deformation of bonds. They do not produce unique substances.

So when something changes in state or phase, like when you put a fresh batch in the freezer of warm naphtha with DMT dissolved in it, when it freezes, the DMT precipitates. This is a physical change and not a chemical change. Chemical changes create new substances, that weren't present before. So despite the starting and ending materials of the warm naphtha you put in the freezer looking different, they are still the same.

When we go into hyperspace and meet these aliens or entities, these entities may have a set identity, but are constantly changing their location. They interact with us but never actually change their identity despite appearances. What gets confusing is when the identity of an entity is made up and organized into many entities. According to the laws of physics, then it is true, that an entity is a sum of its parts, but in hyperspace, these laws are circumvented and the identity of the entity/entities shouldn't be identified as a sum of their parts. Again, this is subjective, and just an attempt to explain things further.
