Hello all. I hope that non-breakthrough experiences can go in a forum whose name suggests otherwise.

SWIM decided, against his better judgement, that he'd share some of his early (and poorly) written accounts of his first few sub-breakthrough experiences with jimjam. They're basically a composite of SWIM's first few experiences, focusing on the nature of the visions in one note, and the nature of the audio distortion in another.

I hear...
My entire soundscape enveloped in a beautifully distorted and pitch-changing blippity-bleep-blorpulation that skips and reverses all incoming audio at its unrelenting whim. Pervading even all of this is the indescribable frequency known to most as The Carrier Wave. It's like the siren song of entry into Hyperspace, or the clarion call to a higher consciousness. The more I focus on The Carrier Wave, the more it feels that every atom in my body is increasing its vibrational frequency, rising rapidly. The almost mechanical whirring sound/feeling this rise causes feels like my soul separating from my body.

I see...
Concentric bands of interwoven mandala chains, pulsing and shifting, converging around this portal to Hyperspace, also known as the Glass Chrysathemum. It will take me there. I know this not only because of what I've read, but because of the thoughts and notions seemingly placed into my head from the other side. If I'm not to be blessed by a breakthrough, I am still blessed by tremendous visions of great clarity and color, and of innumerable variety.

SWIM wrote those months ago, and needs to start writing again now that he has a better handle on it, but SWIM still has YET to break through! SWIM needs to find a way to defat/recrystallize the jimjam, OR perhaps isolate pure n,n-DMT, but doesn't know how because he has no access to petroleum-based solvents, only D-Limonene, Everclear, and acetone. SWIM'll probably be posting a question thread in Extractions Help about that. -_-
