Read MoreYes, there are plenty of healed and wise people in the community, but there is a massive amount of discord too, due to a seemingly ever-growing number of commenters prowling medicine forums with the overarching agenda of showcasing experiential, intellectual or spiritual superiority. Perhaps it’s more opportunistic than that – who knows? Either way, it comes across as keyboard warrior syndrome backed by ‘get out of jail free’ cards in the form of entheogenic CVs…
Read MoreThere seems to be a common notion that ayahuasca is a one-stop-shop medicine that will highlight and subsequently resolve emotional, physical and spiritual issues overnight. Yet there are many people out there who report unmet expectations after drinking the medicine. The thing is that we are all complex beings with unique personal histories, physical constitutions and lifestyles. The same goes for our cognitive abilities and functions, our expectations and our belief systems. All of these things can dramatically affect the way we receive this medicine...
Read MoreDMT Times met with Paul and Justin of The Dreaming Jaguars, who have a DMT YouTube channel. In this interview, they talked about how DMT has changed their lives, what challenges they’ve faced in the DMT realm, the state of the DMT movement in the UK, and what advice they have for first-timers. They also told us about some of the exciting work they’ve been doing with Dr. Andrew Gallimore and Dr. David Luke of Greenwich University…
Read MoreAn interview with Filip Zaruba, director of the movie ‘Bufo Alvarius – The Underground Secret’. Filip interviewed Dr. Stanislav Grof for the movie, which he talks about in this interview, as well as the reasons for (and journey toward) making the movie, and the morality and responsibilities around Bufo Alvarius medicine use and synthetic 5-MeO-DMT. He also discusses the role of Bufo/5-MeO in our awakening, whether it is right for everyone, the risks and after effects associated with it, and what we can learn from using these powerful substances.
Read MoreThe plant medicine experience may bring about a profound level of self-assuredness that can end up fortifying the ego – the exact opposite of most people’s intentions. The ego wants to stay in control, and will use an awakening experience to its advantage if allowed to…
Read MoreMany people receive benefits from entheogens and psychedelics, yet there are others that struggle with after effects and even persisting disorders afterwards. Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD), Depersonalization Disorder (DPD), Derealisation Disorder (DPDR), and feelings of existential crisis are common. Read one man’s experience and some considerations for handling difficult after effects…
Read MoreThere seems to be something missing from many of the modern teachings embraced in the West. We are so focused on finding personal peace that true compassion often remains a concept, albeit an attractive one. Ayahuasca and DMT can awaken the innate compassion needed to make real change in oneself and the world, but once it does, there is no going back…
Read MoreAnyone who has dipped into the DMT realm often enough can tell you that nothing is certain. Even the best sets and settings don’t bring guarantees. We are walking into the unknown and for all intents and purposes we are blindfolded. Just as it does in everyday life, walking into the unknown without certainty takes courage and vulnerability…
Read MoreWhen the DMT kicked in, I found myself entering a space in which I felt that I was looking upward. It was as if I were laying on the ‘ground’ in this hyperspace realm, and everything was going on above me. I could not perceive any visible perimeters, but there was a sense of enclosure that left me with the distinct impression of being inside a dome. The dome seems to be a hive of activity that is both ephemeral and ineffable; for many it appears to be the place in which the ‘machine elves’ attempt some form of communication…
Read MoreOne incredibly common parallel that can be drawn from DMT experiences is encounters with hyper-dimensional entities. There is much debate over whether the DMT entities are as ‘real’ as we are, whether they are simply projections from the individual’s mind, or culturally-related conjurings from the collective subconscious. Whatever is the case, DMT entities have managed to convince most users that they are real… and if they are, the implications are profound.
Read MoreThe question of whether it is necessary to travel to South America to drink ayahuasca is a common one. It is a question regularly chewed over in ayahuasca forums without any lasting consensus drawn. For some it makes most sense to go to South America to work with ayahuasca and the indigenous shamans; for others it is simply not a viable option, for various reasons…
Read MoreOne of the most common questions asked by those seeking out an ayahuasca experience is whether it is necessary to drink the ayahuasca with an indigenous ayahuasca shaman or a Western shaman. The answer to this is probably not cut and dried and there are some important considerations for choosing an appropriate shaman, whatever their nationality or location…
Read MoreThe question of whether it is a good idea to drink ayahuasca or smoke DMT alone regularly arises, so it goes without saying that people are uncertain as to its safety. There is no cut and dried answer to this, as it is largely dependent on whether you are mentally and emotionally sound, the quality of your setting, the safety of the substance, and whether or not you believe in certain metaphysical factors having the power to influence your physical world…
Read MoreThe concept of set and setting was coined by Timothy Leary in 1964, and he put it out there that when using psychoactive substances, the state you are in and the environment you choose is likely to have a profound impact on your experience. Yet not everyone pays attention to set and setting… so is it really a necessary consideration?
