Hello Nexus:
I am in utter awe at the beauty of this substance.
But first, a little about me: I am a 24 y/o female just finishing her first year of grad school in California. My goal is to one day teach philosophy at the Jr. College level. While I enjoy abstract thinking, a community college seems to be where I can have the most influence to help young people find themselves. Nothing would bring me more joy than teaching a 100-level philosophy course and spending the rest of my life making kids fresh out of high school doubt everything they 'know'.
This leads me to DMT.
I have, in the past, recreationally used marijuana and maybe a hit or two of LSD. There's always been a curiosity for mind-expanding substances, but never the desire to interact with dealers or risk the possible legal consequences. Research for a religion course led me to Ayahuasca and various shamanic rituals. I found the whole Ayahuasca ceremony intriguing, but don't have the time or resources to travel to Peru. One thing led to another and I began researching my own ceremony. I ended up with a mimosa/caapi brew...
...which BLEW MY MIND!
This was exactly the catalyst I needed to spark a deeper understanding of the universe. Thanks to all you here, I have found a wonderous gift. I don't think I can drink another for awhile, but that's okay. I have plenty to chew on. Thanks again, Nexus! Without you this would be another research project long forgotten.
<3, Anima mundi

Welcome, anima mundi. As House said, it's amazing. There really aren't human words to give it justice. Make sure to take a look at the wiki if you haven't already. Feel free to ask questions if you have any. "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." -A.Huxley

anima mundi, What a beautiful introduction essay you share with us sister. Thank you so very much. You are on an inspirational path that will likely influence a lot of lives in a positive way. What more could one ask in a day and age when so many consume so much yet feel so unfulfilled? I would love to hear more about your actual mind blowing experience some day, should you ever feel like you might wish to share it. I'll bet others would too. I can completely respect the need for a long integration period. A hearty Welcome to the Nexus! Hope to see you around. "But even if nothing lasts and everything is lost, there is still the intrinsic value of the moment. The present moment, ultimately, is more than enough, a gift of grace and unfathomable value, which our friend and lover death paints in stark relief."-Rick Doblin, Ph.D. MAPS President, MAPS Bulletin Vol. XX, No. 1, pg. 2Hyperspace LOVES YOU
