REPORT

Hoo yeah!! This one was a much better tour than my first. I won't fret over timelines this time, however, as I was having so much fun that I had no concept of time whatsoever . This go was much, much cleaner than the last. No feverish feelings. I suspect the next one will also be cleaner, as I still have much work to do and let the aya cleanse me body and mind.

A clear meditative state rose fairly quickly as I lay down after setting up some trip hop and random mantras. The music flowed through my speakers and into my brain as colors and shapes, both soothing and amazing. I then gently floated through a spiral of purple eyes. I smiled and waved. Who knows, maybe they belong to someone cool. An emotional state appeared soon after, easing itself in. It was dark, but not scary- it was stuff I already knew, but hadn't come to terms with it would seem. The strange and awesome part about this is my thoughts flew past me like planets as I was hurling through space, comet-like. Simple shapes in neon-like colors scratched into the vast black were abound. Then I suddenly stopped, and a nebula formed before me. I recognized it as being strikingly similar to the Pillars of Creation. Lovely, calm vision. the lights within it were slowly flowing and dancing to the steady beat of trip hop.

Suddenly an outline of what I could really only describe as a woman in a robe appeared to the left of my nebula. Her presence felt very real. She came close, close enough to block out most of the vision. She comforted me, touched my soul like a mother would. Then she lifted her arm and pulled the visions away like tearing a curtain away from a sun-showered window. I was blown away. It was beautiful, perfect light. It was there, and it was it. I was soaking it in like relaxing on the beach. I was there for a little while, and completely forgot about my body and the physical world. It made me understand so many things. Many of my studies and discoveries coalesced and solidified, while some others were burned away. It was pure knowledge and love, extremely hard to even begin describing. My soul was wide open to a massive free-flow of information and love. I felt natural, and in harmony with nature, despite being in my bedroom. We are all connected to a universal truth. I was told to stop hiding my true self and to keep on my path, to master the physical world but to spread the good. Or perhaps it helped me tell myself that. Did I mention love?

Then I felt this flow tighten, like closing the ties on a duffle bag. I wanted to stay, to learn more, but it was time to come back. I fell back into my body and my eyes shot open. I caught myself and straightened up, noticing that I'd been balling my eyes out. It was an extremely deeply emotional moment. I died, and was reborn a slightly better person.

For a little while I sat still and relaxed, soaking in the mantras and collecting myself in preparation of returning to the physical realm. This strange, twisty realm.

The next morning I felt a terrible headache from the very center of my brain. Never felt a headache like this before.

The images are just random representations of what I saw. I wish I had access to drawing materials. Maybe next time!!

Thank you for reading!

Welcome Husky,

It's awesome that it sounds you had a great experience! When you say, "The strange and awesome part about this is my thoughts flew past me like planets as I was hurling through space, comet-like" is similar to what I've heard as 'being launched out of a cannon' and supposedly the stronger the dose with right combination of mind set and environment (including no artificial stimulus from tv, speakers, or anything external in general) the faster one goes and can lead to breaking through, but I haven't heard an agreeing consensus on what breaking through really means especially in terms of 'truth'. Personally I just feel transported to another realm, one which overlaps this one and what we see normally is only the 'raw' version of our physical world, and others that seem to exist elsewhere.

"It was pure knowledge and love, extremely hard to even begin describing." I've found this particularly difficult as well. For instance, I've received pure knowledge on my travels with regards to the ultimate nature of our existence. Everything I was 'told', as it wasn't words rather conceptual understanding, made perfect sense but as I started to come down it became more and more fragmented until it was like it was erased from my memory completely to the point I couldn't even ask the question anymore and had to move on to some other thought.

The next time I went back I decided I would keep a journal and as I had the information in mind I wrote everything down, then went back to enjoying the experience. When I checked the journal later to my disbelief I found words like sentences but major gaps in them. It was incomplete but had major ideas with no connection between them. It made partial sense to me, but knew I would have to blast off again to fully understand it and my attempts to bring back that knowledge to this world has failed. I feel this is for one of two reasons 1. It's purely conceptual and the restrictions of our language don't allow it to be expressed 2. There is certain knowledge such as 'universal truth' that exists but our ability to find it is not likely and is not allowed as we are living in this physical realm as it may defeat the 'purpose' for our existence here; to find truth on our own or as others say 'have faith'. I have become very obsessed with this and actively look into epistemology and ontology and is one of the reasons I am a member of this wonderful forum.

I hope you're next experience is even greater and you gain the knowledge or perspective you set out to achieve by having your questions or desires firmly in your consciousness before you begin. May I suggest you make sure you are as comfortable as possible and free from any artificial sounds or external distractions. I have heard that light meditation awhile beforehand helps as well. Safe travels!

Hello Ben!

It indeed feels like being launched. My fav quote about that- "Load universe into cannon. Aim at brain. Fire!"

It's fascinating how many people have similar experiences, even see nearly the same imagery. The more I travel, the more I realize this. I actually stopped reading advanced experiences just to be able to document my own, without the risk of my brain "borrowing" someone else's visions (people's brains sympathize that way sometimes).

I agree with you about keeping things silent. The background music, in a way, was to calm my anxiety a bit and maybe see if it added anything to the experience as it does when I smoke MJ. To my surprise, some of the visuals "played" with the music. It was brief every time it happened, but very cool. Most of the time, the music didn't even exist, as it melted away with the rest of the physical realm. My subsequent trips will be silent, maybe with the occasional binaural beat track.

I do like the idea of writing while tripping. I do recall writing a text to nobody during this trip. It was accurate and poetic, but my phone pretty much kept melting out of my hands and I never was able to finish it . The ideas were there, but I wasn't in my body enough to articulate properly.

I believe we all potentially have the ability to understand the info we get from "out there", but we're definitely not ready for it yet as a whole. I like your thought that perhaps we aren't meant to know this stuff yet, as it defeats the purpose of our work in the physical world. Maybe we really are activating our DNA more and more, and it can be something worth pursuing and integrating into our lives bit by bit. Personally, all my experiences thus far (DMT aside) have only showed me how much of a better world we could live in. Reading especially has expanded my ability to understand these ideas.

I'm definitely excited about my next go, but I think I may put away the aya in favor of changa. Good talking to you Ben, till next time!
