RE: The Ayahuasca Diaries: Part 1
I really wanna try out the DMT experience, but at the moment I am too afraid. Loved the read and will be looking forward to part 2!
PS: Followed you :) Love from Norway
If you're afraid, it might indeed be a scary experience & I suggest you get your vibes straight before giving it a shot. But in truth, we release DMT every single night as we fall asleep...it's a very natural compound that occurs in every living thing (according to my understanding). Smoking it only lasts for 15-20 minutes, whereas drinking ayahuasca can last 8-36 hours!! If you are curious enough, you can start with something way milder than ayahuasca - she goes deep.
Thanks for the follow, @d2m0t3x!
DMT is quite remarkable. Ooohh... i got some stories.
Regarding the brain's naturally generated pineal gland release of DMT.... it does drive the journeys of dreams but it also has a purpose during our daytime routine consciousness. During those transcendental moments when we forget that we were just "off somewhere" day-dreaming.
That kind of lucid state is like an overlay upon normal awake Left-Brain awareness. We can simultaneously keep the left brain "driving the car" for example, while the overlay of a fantasy or desired goal (the visual of which is generated by the DMT and managed by the Right Brain) can be very vivid without making us loose control of the car.
This "dance" or right-to-left ocsillates throughout the day, but we hardly give it a thought. My own studies/experiences into this area have shown me that dreams aren't just symbolic of something... Dreams are actual alternative realities that can be manipulated by us during the dream for our own benefit upon awakening. How you pull-out of a dream is really the zone of interest for me. Getting lucid is very easy... but controlling how you return to the left brain awareness is the challenge. At that "twilight zone" if you will, most incredible dream moments occur and many ideas from the dream can be brought forward into waking consciousness with practice..
I do believe that DMT awareness and control are key tactics to harnessing the mind's potential. And by actively practicing lucidity (and there are countless ways to do that) we can all strengthen "the third eye".
wow i love dreamin'!
Me too - it's one of the amazing features of human life!
Great input @orionsbeltbuckle!! I have a bit of practice with lucid dreaming, but I haven't done it regularly in a really long time. Thanks for the reminder!
I agree that controlling not only DMT but other chemicals in the body is required for self-mastery. Monks train for years to be able to consciously manipulate their neurotransmitters & hormones, enhancing experiences of compassion or whatever they value. I am blessed to learn from real life master @quinneaker on a daily basis, and although Science has never hooked him up to machines to test his chemistry or brain signals, I believe it would concur that he has mastered the right brain - left brain dance you describe + much more.
My point is that it's humanly possible; any human could achieve it if they really wanted to! It's super fun to study all this stuff, but it's another realm to learn to do it yourself - or has been for me, anyway.
Hmm, I haven't thought of it that way before! You have definitely made me feel more comfortable in my search for answers! Thanks Sara :)
My pleasure <3
