Like all of my trips, this was 30mg, one long & slow draw through a classic VG. This particular trip was after a morning meditation session @ 7.30am.
It has been a while since I last blasted off. I was testing out a new batch before a weekend away with my brother and our girlfriends. I extracted 0.5g last Thursday from some old pots that I was about to throw away - glad I didn’t.
Finding myself back in the familiar DMT space was celebratory. Swirls of ancient party code were ripping through me. I don’t remember the come up I just remember being there.
Expansive infinity, with timeless entities. Vistas of familiar, yet totally alien, psychedelic lands.
For me, there is something about attention in this space, lots of entities on some kind of information superhighway were celebrating and trying to engage with me.
I have come to see that some of these types of entities seem to feed on me giving them some attention. All it takes is a slight shift of focus and I somehow give them life.
Nowadays I try not to give much attention to anything but stay as the awareness, as the space in the background before any thing. I do this in both hyperspatial travels and daily life. In hyperspace, this means only identifying with the space that everything is happening inside of. Because I don’t have a body, it seems easier to achieve this whilst journeying than in waking walking life.
I must have failed somehow because there was a moment of what seemed like a connection between a mischievous party maker type entity and my attention. He was represented by a multitude of devilishly purple grinning smooth charmers all dancing around.
When we somehow connected the entity was delighted.
‘Everything is ok. Because it is all one’ came the telepathic communication. I realised that I was enjoying our exchange.
I was reminded of nights of questionable sex, hedonism, and the pursuit of ultimate personal pleasure. There was a grimy joy pervading everything. Visually the entities were gleefully menacing and trying to show me things. I remember some kind of phone like screen, just out of reach of my vision. The entities swirled and slinked into the shadows and seemed like they were fucking (me).
There was an internal desire to disconnect, but I couldn’t really do anything, so I resigned and tried to enjoy the ride. Despite trying to reserve judgment their presence felt unwanted and yet wanted at the same time. Like the weird feeling before doing a dirty line of coke. ‘I know this will only lead to shit places, but fuck it, it’ll be fun. Maybe.’
I was coming back to earth now. The panoramic vistas seemed to slowly fold together as I drifted back. The familiar feeling of sliding back into time and body. Lots of juddery vibration. The entity was still there, dancing and fucking and feeding, more and more imperceptibly.
‘Everything is OK because it is all one’ came the realisation again. I was then suddenly aware that this belief was what might be giving this entity life. He gleefully pronounced that he was forever present across time and existence. It was some kind of contract with the light. If the light was given to him, he was free to do whatever he desired. And he absolutely loved this! He could play and pervert and that was all he is. Even though it felt like some kind of distortion of the light, it still felt like he had permission from the whole.
Everything is OK because it is all one’
Is it though?
In these final stages I was aware of a layer of awareness, the untouched one, that gives life to everything, then there was the entity, and then there was this belief, that he was feeding on. Attached to somehow.
Even though on some level I was enjoying our interaction, I physically pushed out my arms and said ‘No’. As a gesture to signal that ultimately, really, I was not OK with what I felt that he represented.
I guess this entity/belief has been a big part of my life in the past. I have alway sought out both sides of the coin in life. Like most people here I guess, I like to explore and push the boundaries, to see what I can learn about myself. Sometimes this has led to dark places. And sometimes I have rationalised some shady shit with ‘Everything is OK because it is all one.’
Perhaps it is time to give up this belief. Everything is one, yes, but some things are definitely not OK.
Or the whole is made up of both light and dark, but Light is lighter and Dark is darker.
Perhaps?
Much Love <3 xx
