View MoreI am a musician, and have always been fascinated with altered states of consciousness and wanting to find out more about life. The way I see it now, is that reality is the cave in Platos allegory, and psychadelics ascend us and most ppl are satisfied with living in the cave.

View MoreHey everyone this is my first post and just joined this group. 2 nights ago I had my first DMT experience. I have done shrooms, Salvia, and lsd in the past (mostly shrooms but only a few times, and always for spiritual reasons) First time experience two nights ago and I am still glowing and feel like I have experienced that a million times before, such a familiar experience yet so impossible. I was using a vape, made sure to shake it before hand, and finally overcame my initial nerves and just kept hitting it until I was being taken on a wild ride being shown all these impossible things that my brain could create. I must admit when it started I was so overwhelmed that I felt like crying/smiling and it was very hard to not give in to astonishment. I felt as if there was a presence showing me all this, an ancient presence but I did not see it, it was more like I knew he was showing me this experience. I am not sure if I broke through because I do believe that the entire time I had some way of knowing I was in my bed. The one time that comes close to this experience in the past was 5 grams of mushrooms, which in all of those trips I saw the same woman, and in this heroic dose trip after dying, she appeared fully 1-1 scale in the room, but multiple of her in the room and she was so real that she was just trying to stay still It seemed. Anyways, I find it very interesting that entities have always been a part of my experiences, but this was something else. I am still a bit nervous about going in again but I would like to breakthrough fully, integrate that into my daily life as I don't want to rely on this, it needs to be respected. I do however want to know who that entity was, and if the reason they showed themselves during the shroom trip is that they want me to eventually breakthrough to get a bigger lesson.As a bit of a background since I am new to this group, I am Brazilian born and my ancestry dates back to Brazilian native tribes which most likely would have been part of the shamanic dmt rituals. I feel like maybe this helped me to see more entities on mushrooms when my friend with me at the time saw nothing. I am so glad to have experienced this, I feel like it is one of the fundamental keys to the universe, I just don't know how.One vision I did get to close this ramble, is that when I die, I will remember all of my past lives and be back into my soul, surfing the cosmos finding something else to do. As if this life was some getaway from what true reality is. Who knows this could also all be in my head and that feeling of familiarity is something that it chemically makes you feel. I'd love to have a discussion about this as I feel it is what the world likes to call God (I am not religious at all)
