I have always found the nexus forum to be of a meloncholic mood, well not melancholic but let's say solemn... that is apart from a few threads like this. More so than other forums on the internet excluding some others like socialanxietyforum, depressionforum & physics forums.

So I find it apt to talk about death here as death also has a lot to do with giving in to the DMT experience itself and letting go of everything from what I head people talk about.

Imagine one day working in a abatoir factory alone and you slipped and fell in to the meat grinder feet first. It suddenly dawns on your mind that there is no way you can possibly escape this situation and you will die with 100% absolute certainty. You feel the crushers start to work through your legs and then up in to the thighs. And then...

*THIS FEELING RIGHT HERE*

It is hard to put it in to words but it is a kind of dread... an *oh no* but a *sigh* at the same time of knowing you lost the game and you are about to be annihalited.

It is said that fear accompanies the possibility of death but calmness sheppards it's certainty.

I just want to talk about this with people who have gone through it with DMT.

STOP. BREATHE.

You will be fine dude, psychs can play games with your mind that seem EXTREMELY real at the time, but rationality always prevails in at least this dimension. Don't beat yourself up about experiences, just move on and find grounding activities that take you back to places and moments of safety and comfort.

I honestly know what you mean since I felt pretty much the same as you describe after an incredibly strong ayahuasca trip. I KNEW I'd die.. . yet I'm still here, alive and kickin!!

Eat meat (grounding energy), lift weights (more grounding), masturbate.. . don't dwell to much on the bad stuff, I PROMISE it will go away with time.

Much regards and speedy comeback.

STAY HEADSTRONG.

Thanks for the advice man but I have actually never felt like I was going to die, I am too scared to take that much... I was just curious about this sensation and what it means philosophicaly.

When I get feeling I'm going to die...

...I just go on and die. It's simple as that.

It works.

But seriously, I remember about 5-6 years ago, when I had horrible anxiety and hypochondria, I was convinced that my number has came up, and that I'm living my last days. I've though I will most likely experience sudden cardiac arrest, and die. I was going to work with thoughts in my head: "will i die on work, or on route to work? Or when I return from work, and in my home". Then I would be riding in the tram thinking: "oh my God, look how much people is here! I don't want to die in public place!"

Yes! That's how convinced I was! I'm not overly presenting it.

Guess what happened? Nothing!

You'll be fine. Enjoy.

I've had quite the handful of brushes with death. When I'm in the moment, I am usually calm and collected. It is most often not till after the danger has passed, and I have the time to reflect on what (could have) happened that the true anxiety kicks in.

Some words that have helped me...

"IT IS ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE WILLING TO EXPOSE OURSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ANNIHILATION THAT WE DISCOVER THAT PART OF OURSELVES THAT IS INDESTRUCTIBLE"

I recognize this too.
