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.

You Are The Spirit, Your Body Is The Journey

 October 10.

I haven’t done a double journey for a few months, and every experience since has felt too short and incomplete. This morning the house was quiet, so I wanted to dive in a couple times to satisfy that curious hunger. I prepped with some nice meditation music and deep breathing. My intention was to remind myself of my first lesson being of love and that I should lead my decisions based on that. Once I felt relaxed enough to go in, I switched my music to some aboriginal didgeridoo as I’ve never tripped on that before.

As soon as I felt like I had taken enough hits, I did one more. I closed my eyes, laid my head back and the colors began to set in. It looked like I was surrounded by a bunch of Christmas lights. The lights began to move toward each other and became a shaman. He had a big colorful hat and a big fat nose. He had a staff in one hand that he started to shake, and a ball of light in the other; He studied me for a minute. The shaman transformed into a dragon made of fire. I was told “Do not break eye contact”. The dragon began charging at me from several different directions. I felt like I might be run over a couple times, but I did not look away. The dragon then faded away into a rainbow and these elves appeared and told me it was a test to see if I was brave enough to be here. Apparently I had passed the test.

As the vision began to fade out, I could see the elves playing the music I was listening to, but they were using squeaky toys and little horns instead of a didgeridoo. Never underestimate the elf’s ability to make light of your trip, they never fail.

I savored that experience for several minutes and let the body high subside. Now that I had permission to be there, I was going back in.

As the next journey began, I was greeted by a person made of stars and planets, but surrounding their cosmic body looked like feathers. They were making a sad face at me. I asked them why they were sad, but it was as if I was asking myself (that’s a difficult part to describe with words). They showed me the outline shape of a man’s body, and it was surrounded by stars. Inside the body shape looked like infinite darkness. I suddenly understood that this body was an empty vessel, it looked like it was made of glass. They put me inside this empty body and told me they had given me everything.

The next message I got was two-fold; The emptiness represents my own unhappiness, the void within myself that only I am capable of filling. Not that I’m entirely unhappy, but I think it was more representative of the human condition whereas we are constantly working and searching through difficulties to find happiness. It also represented my higher purpose which was to fill this body with light. I realized that I was the spirit that occupied the body, and that my body was not mine, but it was part of my journey. And with pure love in my actions, my body will be filled with light.

Once my spirit had filled my body, they led me to a ceremony that felt like I was the guest of honor. It looked like I was in a forest, and I was surrounded by many cosmic entities. I was laid down in the center of this ceremony and they began to sing to me. They were singing my cosmic self to sleep so that my body could wake up in the physical world.
