RedKaktus a dit:Hi InTrippo ! Come sta ?
No problemo mio amico ! I'm glad you appreciate my post ! I'm myself from Italian origin ! and I find your english very correct.
Are you sure the Rick Strassmann's book can't be find on Amazon in italian ? I found it in french ! And I know this is a very known book in many countries. So, take a try !
I have the same problem too. To get informations about DMT on french. I had to resign. I found only few subtitled videos on Youtube. But anyways, this is a good way to improve your english ! I improved a lot in viewing as many english videos as I could, and now, I'll understand 95% of what it is said in these videos. But I know this is pretty hard to motivate !
To answer you (and I will do my best for it) :
1) Mushrooms (as point of start) changed my life, because they changed my point of view on life. I don't know if you like philosophy, but I do. And knowing some authors and their main thoughts help me to "build" a reasonnable, beneficient point of view on the world. Because, before that, I lived with my mind in a closet. What I mean is that I had a very limited point of view on things, on people, on myself, etc... I acted in my every day life like a robot. Wake up, dress up, eat, go to work, try to do friends, try to be efficient in my work, etc... Without really knowing why I did all that. Without ever take a minute to think and say : "Man, what are you doing ? Is this a good life for you ? What is happiness ? And how do I reach it ?"
In a nutshell, I lived for myself, by myself, only worrying about me, feeling disconnected from the others and from the nature... You know that our sense of "what is real" is only given by the informations that we see, we hear, we feel. We decode all that and we make a mix as coherent as possible. So, our senses are cheating us, because they're uncomplete. For example, we can't see Ultra-Violet colors that bees can.
So, basically, mushrooms reconnected me deeply with who I really am. I often say that was for me my "second birth", and I'm used to say that "I'm going back home", because this feeling of seeing myself as I'm really is the most intense feeling I've ever had. You could say, that is an "enlightment", as in the buddhist philosophy. I don't know if you ever taken trypatmines drugs, but the MAIN EFFECT for me, is that you see yourself in a mirror. For some people, it could be very disturbing, and some may fight against these ideas. Because we're not all angels. We did things in our lives we're not proud about it. And, in some way, ACCEPT that we made mistakes, or we were idiots can be very difficult. If you're not afraid to see yourself how you really are, go ahead. The secret, if you see what I mean, is NOT TO feel guilty, because you don't want to hurt yourself more with bad thoughts, such as "I'm not a good person... I deserve to die because I did suffer so much people... I won't be able to improve myself...". THESE automatic sentences are your worst ennemies. Stay away from them. But you can think : "Ok ! I did mistakes in my past. I forgive myself because only I can. I was young, I didn't had good models. I'm sorry for all this. But I want to learn a lesson here, and so I won't do again the same mistakes ! So I'll improve and I'll be a better man".
So, it changed my life because I totally changed my priorities on life (money, fame, woman and childs, nice car, beautiful house...). Now, I seek for Truth. I became a philosopher myself ! And that feels sooooo good to know what I'm for !
2) When I smoke DMT, I know now that it will take maximum 30min. The visions last 10 minutes max, but I need after that to rest quiet, think about what I saw... Because none of the experience is the same before, I learn, or it teaches me every time new things. I understand things about my life, my bounds with my friends, my will for the future, the meanings of the sounds I hear, and many many others things...
During the trip, you always stay perfectly clear in your mind. You know where you are, what's the music you're listening, etc...
After that, I feel most of the time, a need to eat !My mind is not confused and I can return to what I did before that (work, play, etc...). I thought some times ago, that I could smoke DMT once a day, because it don't affect you on short term, or middle term. Like smoking a good cigar or a good wine. But this is not a good advice, and I won't ever do it, because it shows you very intriguing things, and I want to do a break of 1 or 2 weeks between the takes.
3) Very hard question... For myself, it has been the most important thing that has happen in my life. It has been very difficult for the years after (I made a severe depression, thought I was schizophrenic...), but I'll do it again if I had to. Because it reconnects me with deep reality. With the deep meaning of life. "Seeking the light can burn your eyes"
It hurts me first, because I realized that Reality is waaaaaay more complex that what we think, and that what our friends, teachers and parents told us. I was desillusionnated, but that was necessary.
If you want to answer yourself this question, ask you, and think about that : "Am I ready to abandon old certainties (certezze)? Am I ready to gain a new point of view on life without that it make me feel I LOST something, but I GAIN something ?"
To give you a basic example, if you had to learn that : 2+2 is not equal 4 but 5. Would you accept it ? Or would you struggle against this idea ?
Because we often identify ourselves with the ideas we defend, this sort of "new software" that you'll play now will make you feel you loose your identity. But it's not the case. In fact, this is the absolute opposite. You could find your true identity.
There's no shame to be who you are. Absolutely no shame, no matter what you did.
Having tryptamines would make you ask a lot of questions. I ask myself for almost 10 years now, and I know it will take my entire life, because this is not the goal what matters, it is the PATH. So, if you feel curious about who you are, what is the sense of life, what is the universe, etc... It will help you to indicate the path where to go.
But, I would certainly recommend for a beginner to start with DMT, because mushrooms last much longer (about 6hours), and it makes you feel sick, your ideas goes so fast, you ahe the feeling that 1minute last 1 hour... It's very exhausting for a first time. But the DMT last only 15minutes max, and you don't feel sick. It is way more gentle for a first time. If you have a bad trip (which is for me only to reject what we are, or refuse to see ourself in a mirror !), you'll know it's not gonna be long.
4) None problem !I just now have a TOTALLY DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW of my friends and most of people. This is not sarcastic. In fact, I like to know that I have a life's philosophy that most don't have. I try to understand myself, the others, and the world. I am so curious about everything, I know that EVERYTHING that happens in my life is neither bad, nor good, it's just life, and it has a meaning and something to learn me.
What I mean by totally different point of view :
-I'm aware that we're probably living in a multi-dimmensionnal universe.
-It is very possible that aliens exists and they're almost like gods.
-Re-incarnation is probably real, as the law of karma. (did you see the last Wachowsky's movie ? Cloud Atlas ? Just amazing ! You'll know what I mean)
-Life here is only a long game, but others lives are waiting us after that.
-I'm aware of global state of the world, as the Illuminatis, the Rockefeller/Rotschild's tyranny.
-I don't seek useless things like money and fame, but I seek truth and happiness (or at least peace)
You'll note that I put probably in my sentences. Because, I'm very carefull and I don't want to be a sheep who follows a leader. Just want to be a free-mind, open-minded.
Everything's possible !
So, I hope I answered your questions well ! We could exchange a lot more, because there's so much things to say, so much to know... Because knowledge is power, become powerful !
Ciao mio fratello !![]()
RedKaktus a dit:You're welcome !
I'm glad you appreciate my answers. However, I must say that my friends, with whom I took mushrooms sometimes, have not become so much spiritual than I am. So, I guess what matters is : what do you finally learn ? And how do you rely this experience with global sense of reality. Because I can't stop to think that this "experience" is real in some way, and if so, I find it ivery important to think about and dig deeper to find answers.
I find very funny, that you're like "naturally attracted" toward having experience with psychedelics.It's like it seems that you want it, but don't really know why ? Maybe your instinct, or a past life which tends you to act like this now. (This would be my instinct but can't say it's truth
)
I tell you that, because I had the same story with them.
Anyway, you're still quite young. I did mushrooms at age of 20. So, don't be hurry. You'll know when you'll be ready. Try not to... (how do I say that in english ?...) see this experience like something too big, that will change you so deeply you'll not be the same anymore (see my friends !). Take it light ! If you feel to do it, do it ! But don't stress. Don't see this like a competition or something. Be simply open-minded, confident, happy and relax.
Very important thing also : Do you know about "Set & setting" when you take this drugs ? Take this drugs with very close friends that you know they will not judge you, in a quiet place in which you know you'll not gonna be disturbed. No important things to do (work, drive, family's dinner) few hours after. And of course, you have to feel good in your head when you take it (no love split, no family crisis, etc...).
Don't hesitate if you have others questions. I'm happy I can help an italian brother !
Have a good trip ! May the force be with you !![]()
