DMT TRIP REPORT
As my first official post on blurt that isn't an intro post. I am compelled to share one of the most intense spiritual experiences i've ever had in my entire life. I have written about this experience elsewhere but I felt it was necessary to also share this information with you guys here as well. There will be alot of edits from my original post.
There are three things in my life that i am into.....computers, art and spirituality. And they all kind interweave with each other..I am avid artist and i consider myself a lover of all artistic expression. My spirituality (not religion) is pure in that it is my own, although i have used guides such as Buddhism and Numerology as a jumping point to reach my own understanding of life and death.
This is my trip report of an experience i had 4 years ago while smoking a form of DMT known as "Changa".
What is DMT?
For who ever might not know what DMT is..i'm not going to go into a deep explanation. Simply put, DMT (diemethlytryptamine) is a naturally occuring psychedelic compound that is found in nature such as trees, grass, and root bark. DMT can also be found in the human body, and it is used by your body during REM sleep cycles to keep your brain active. Which is why our dreams can seem very surreal...every night when everyone goes to sleep, we have a mild psychedelic trip. DMT has also been used for thousands of years in ancient cultures as a spiritual practice.

What is Changa?
Changa is a blend of different herbs mixed in with the grass, root bark or leaves that contain the DMT molecule. Changa is usually smoked in a bowl or a gravity bong and the experience you will have lasts about 15 to 20 minutes.
The Trip
My changa was mixed with DMT, passion flower, and calea zacatechichi aka "the dream herb". Calea is known as the dream herb because it has been used for centuries to help aid in remembering dreams. Using this herb mixed with DMT will help you remember the experience much better, since DMT puts you in a dream like state...Remember we produce DMT when we sleep.
It is recommended that when you smoke DMT, that you take the longest hardest pull you possibly can on the bowl, and then hold in the smoke as long as you can, then exhale...
First I filled my bowl with a little bit of cannabis, just a pinch so i could cover the hole...then on top of that i packed about 100mg of changa
I sat in my computer chair at my desk, nervous as fuck about what i was getting ready to willfully put myself though. I had heard all the stories about people smoking DMT and being sent to a parallel universe or some kind of other dimension. The idea was intriguing, but also extremely scary.
I was married at the time, and my ex-wife was with me during this experience......I looked at her, took a deep breath and i lit the bowl and took the hugest hit i possibly fuckin' could from it (and i have asthma so it wasn't easy). The changa smelled like shit, a very pungent smell...but i held that smoke in as long as i could. When i exhaled i could already feel the changa starting to work on my brain, but i knew i still need another hit or maybe 2.
I lit the bowl back up and again took a deep inhale and held the smoke in as long as i possibly could. Yo...before i could even get the exhale completely out of my body i felt something....something like a jolt of lightning shooting up my spine and right into my brain.
AND BOOM!!!!
Dudes and Dudettes i kid you not, i don't know what the fuck was happening to me but my entire body went into a convulsive state. I was shaking uncontrollably and everything in the entire room was shimmering and spinning around, i felt like i was spinning but i was sitting right there. I felt like i was being sent through a biological vortex of some kknd... I could not control anything that was happening, which normally i would not have liked... but "I" ceased to exist in this moment, "I" which is my own ego was not even fully aware of what was happening....It almost felt good to give in to a power that was stronger than me, it felt good to let go completely and have something take control over me,..it felt fucking GOOD...
All of this happened in about 15 seconds of time..but it felt like an eternity....and the next thing i knew.....i was home.
Home...it's hard to explain what this shit felt like and what i managed to gather while i was there. I felt removed from my body completely, i didn't even have a thought of being in a body or being a person. I felt alien.....All i could see were blue orbs of light surround me in every direction. But the light was not stationary, it was organic..it was alive some how.
The light looked like something out of a fantasy novel, shaped like how human eyes are shaped..except these orbs of light were gigantic..and they were radiating a hum and making a sound. A sound i could not even try to re-create for you. I felt amazed at what i was seeing, and that somehow the blue orbs were able to communicate to me without having to use any words.
They told me "Welcome Home"
I wasn't scared either, it felt like home....its so hard to put this into words, and i've never tried before. But it felt so close to home that i didn't want to leave from this place. And the whole time the energy..the blue orbs were communicating with me, things about life and death.
Suddenly, everything kind of cleared up..gradually but almost instantaneously which was weird....it seemed like i was only gone for a few seconds, maybe 1 minute...but it had been 15 minutes!!! Still being recorded, it's like i came out of it already talking and saying shit about what i saw.....i started to talk about life and death. And how as people we do not know what is really out there...but there is SOMETHING. Death was only a passage way into another form of life, and i felt compelled to feel this way..it was heavy on me. Death has always been something i have not appreciated, for obvious reasons.
But after this trip man.......death has become for me something i look at with an open and clear mind. it is something that i welcome into my life, because i know it is coming whether it is welcome or not. Death is something we all have to be comfortable with, and for a long time i wasn't. This trip was so mind blowing man, i can't even begin to express how much it did for me and what its done for me and my out look on life and spirituality.
This is part of the reason why i advocate psychedelic medicine so much, there are parts of our mind that are so untapped..and we have no idea of the potential that lies within.
Recording
There is a recording I have of this experience, but I have to find it somewhere in my icloud. I will get that uploaded just so you guys can see the type of state I was in and the things I was saying. Very intense stuff.
Then and Now
Since this experience my spirituality has grown so much, I have truly began walking my spiritual journey now. I even understand more now about my afterlife than I did before. I feel we are here for a time, just enough to learn what we need to learn in order to ascend to the next level. Energy..cannot be destroyed, and we are pure energy..we are lives of light. And death is but mere passageway to another realm of existence.
I will ALWAYS remember this experience as the genesis of my self growth. It was around this time in my life that a lot of spiritual awakening was happening...These days I haven't done DMT since then. It is something I do want to experience again in my life. I think at that time I needed it, because of what I was going through mentally and spiritually... but right now I am just enjoying my life and fatherhood.
