I'll see if I can elaborate, but some of the things don't translate to language as smoothly as I'd like.
It all starts a little over a year ago. I realized that I can use some of these compounds as tools to better myself. I decided to create a ritual that I called "Reflection Day." The second and fourth sundays of every month, I would take a healthy dose of mushrooms and work on myself. Before consuming, I would pick two(actually 3, but I never picked the third topic) topics to bring in with me - something that I wanted to improve on and usually something for fun that I wanted to play around with, and room for the random that might occur.
Example - If I had been feeling down, or anxious, I would plan on trying to address the cause and see if I could make changes in my life - sometimes the introspection of a psychedelic experience can mirror my faults and make them known so that I can work on them in this reality. The fun topic might be something simple as playing some music that I like and see how it altered the already altered state of mind. I always let the mushrooms choose the third, and sometimes there were more than three.
Practicing reflection day was very helpful to me. It always shed new light on scenarios that I had been struggling with, and gave me hints and clues about how to deal with them. However, I got to a point where I had little time to participate in reflection day. That's when DMT came into my life. At that point, I could have these reflections without consuming 6-8 hours, but it is much different on DMT then mushrooms - as we all know.
As more time passed, more responsibilities grew and my time for participating and integrating these experiences grew less and less. As my time for integration depleted, some of the lessons began to unravel and deteriorate.
Imagine it like a computer - Say you have windows XP. When you got XP, it was the top of the line for the time. As time passes, you forget to upgrade, but eveything still worked fine because all of your programs were designed for XP. As new programs are created, now they are primarily designed for Windows 8 - however your processing ability and the hardware was still suited for XP. Because the compatibility did not line up completely, some of the new programs wont run as efficiently as they should or could.
I realized that I had been subscribing to programs that were not quite fit for my operating ability, but I still jammed them in there. It can be frustrating when things don't line up the way that they "should." Needless to say, I was getting frustrated with some of the added responsibilities in my life. The frustration made normal processes even more difficult. Not only that, but I also had friends asking me to help them with their own personal issues as well. Rising frustration inhibited the full potential of compassion and growth.
So, I decided it was time to bring back reflection day. Instead of it being on a specific day, I decided that I would reflect whenever I needed. So, yesterday, instead of mushies, I chose mescaline. I heart mescaline.
I decided that the two goals for reflection day would be Frustration and Compassion - and balancing the two.
I did work on myself through out the day sorting through the stuff that rattles around this mind. I did confront some things that were "good" and some things that were "bad." I got to a point where I knew it was time for DMT. Something inside me told me that this would solidify the things I had been working on.
I packed my pipe, went outside, said my prayer and launched. The rest just happened.... I was blasted through a "worm hole" into the interface. Immediately, things started working on me. I was given an upgrade in the compassion area, and the frustration program was fixed - for now. I also went through some other minor upgrades, but I'm still not completely sure what their use will be. It was hinted that they will be used soon enough. Perhaps it was the ability for conscious awareness of emotional status.
when I came back, I felt wonderful. I felt like I had just lifted a burden from my shoulders. I felt proud, compassionate, and fully functional. When I came inside, the dogs started freaking out - instead of feeling frustrated that they were causing a ruckus, I felt happy to see them and gave them all hugs.
I was still seeing in "digital" vision and they had little programs running above them that processed their existence in this reality. Codes were flowing over their head, and with each second the codes were growing and changing as their existence is not static, but ever changing.
So....Now, I want to be able to utilize this so that I can maintain a healthy mind. With a healthy mind, we build a healthy body, and vice versa.
Sometimes it's good for a change. Other times it isn't.
