The following is a record of my psychedelic journey, and lessons learned. If you want to read about my journey in the order in which I experienced it, please scroll down to the first post. While psychedelic “drugs” are often stigmatized, and misused for recreational purposes, I strongly believe in their therapeutic use. The potential exists for a significantly positive emotional and spiritual awakening, and likewise a frightening or damaging experience if used recklessly. Psychedelics should be approached with respect, caution, and good intentions. When used in the proper setting it can be a very rewarding experience. As with any other form of therapy, the real work must be undertaken by the individual. As such, a substance like DMT might only show you a path to take or a way to reflect on what is happening in your life – It is the individual’s choice to interpret and act upon the thoughts, feelings, and images they are presented with. The big question about what a DMT experience is cannot simply be put into words, let alone a few sentences. My own ‘trip’ is a real experience that I witnessed personally. But I’m often questioning what it is exactly that I am communicating with. Is it my own subconscious that is wiser than my outward self? Is there an intelligent energy in our world that people have forgotten how to have a relationship with? I don’t know. What I do know is it requires an open, willing, and flexible mind, and a willingness to accept what you are presented with without pulling away, but instead have the curiosity to keep asking and looking further into the trip. Disclaimer: I am not a professional, nor a doctor, nor a therapist of any kind. I do not distribute or administer any substance to anyone but myself. These are my own personal experiences.

Trolls

 May 29.

My wife had been intrigued for a while after hearing all my wild stories of profound visuals. I think something that is often understated at times, a lot of the time, the visuals and colors we see sometimes don’t mean anything. I mentioned before that I think it’s easy to fall for the “magic” of DMT, and likewise it’s more fun to talk about the more profound experiences.

We finally made time for her to dip her toes in. Her experience was short and sweet, just enough for her to want to come back later. Now that she is familiar with the feeling that rushes to your head, I think she will be relaxed enough to go in deeper next time.

My experience was nothing profound either, but still positive. My only intention really was just to go in and ‘say hi’. I wanted her to be able to observe me and see that it wasn’t some scary roller coaster ride.

My vision started as a swirling golden kaleidoscope of eyes that became thousands of Trolls (like the toy with the big hair). These trolls were all lined up marching past me. All were smiling and seemingly happy to see me. Out of the corners of my eyes I could see them making faces at me as they walked by. As my trip was coming to an end, one of the trolls stepped out of formation front and center, and like a metal head started headbanging and gave me the ‘horns’ hand symbol.

Nothing too crazy to write about. It might have been my shortest trip yet. Regardless, it was an enjoyable experience. My only takeaway would be for newcomers- Don’t build up this experience like it’s going to shatter the world as you know it and give you the winning lotto numbers. You don’t really know what visual you will get, and neither do I. If you have some grandiose expectations, just expect to be disappointed. Rather, just enjoy whatever it is.
