good stuff there Acuminata =) I found it funny how u could take your time out of the day to give someone a once in a lifetime experience only for them later to say they didnt feel comfy cause of u. Definitley a self centered thing to say
bad for him.
Unless you are the most uncomfy and dead pan person to be around, I will asume its not you but his mindset, the mindset which makes him say something like that, which caused him to not experience DMT correctly.
If I were to show dmt to someone else again, I would first encourage them to smoke weed with me. If they never smoked weed before I want to see how they react. Will they retreat inwards into themselves or will their gaze and heart become more outer directed? Will they find the shift in consciousness pleasent, awe inspiring, or bad and dirty and dumbifying?
Most of how we react to shifts in consciousness is based on our conditioning regarding guilt/shame/pleassure/ and the ego. A solified ego may find solace in the fact of a life lived in sobriety, and this conditioning taints the experience; it is an inability to let go of the self, a self which dmt, meditation, and self inquiry (to name a few) reveal is an utter illusion. Yet for the common person selflesness is mere "spiritual mumbo jumbo." Not a fact, but a theory or idea, not different from socialism or an oppinion.
I would like for this smoking of weed to curve the overly intelectual agnostic people (which are those I am most curious to see how they respond to DMT.) I imagine some are so stultified by sobriety and thinking and information which comes from others, that they will aproach the DMT as a test, maybe an ego boost, at best an intelectual persuit.
I would like for them accept their total ignorance of EVERYTHING and thus the possibility of a Source and System of creation and life before smoking. If they cant accept the experiential knowledge of divine grace, of anything divine and pure existing before smoking, I really dont see the point and would be afraid of them fighting it and having a bad time. I think there should be an acceptance of love and peace in order to withstand the mindfuck DMT is. Even if only for defense reasons! Peace and lovingness can keep you calm through bad trips and will enhance good trips. And at the end of the day its the epitome of what you will learn in hyperspace, so why not adopt the love and kindness mindset from before the first toke? The physical and observable benefits of adopting peace into the heart are clear; surrender, good diafram breathing, fluidity, beautiful images created because of beautiful thoughts.
also there has to be a mindset where pleassure can be found in being high as fuuuck!! Where you dont feel sorry for yourself cause your high (people like to control, so feel powerless when they lack control, which is a completley ego driven fear in most all cases.)
To make it simpler; I dont think I would show DMT to anyone who isnt ALL IN.
To answer RagHaven's title to this thread; no one is totally ready for this, but its better to be 50% ready than 0%.
