My home practice has slipped, but am still generally happy. But can not access deep states anymore to advance my practice. Am considering microdosing. What I like about meditation over using high doses of psychedelics is in meditation there is the ability to return to normal default brain consciousness when needed. I believe microdosing may have a similar effect for a daily practice.

The colours of the visible spectrum are associated with various chakras or energy centres in our body. Starting at the base chakra (the base of the spine), you move upwards through six further chakras. Green corresponds to the Heart chakra (associated with Love), and Violet to the Crown chakra (top of the head, associated with Spirituality).

Some might argue that Love is the defining characteristic of God or Infinite Intelligence, and that Spirituality represents the essence of God. So perhaps DMT allows us to experience not only God’s love but also God’s very nature!

I have done some personal speculation and i think i know the answer to why DMT does what it does.

Lets start with why its in our brain to begin with, DMT increases the processing capability of sensory function, as it makes you see colours in white lights it makes sounds more vibrant and feeling more intense. Knowing this i can suggest that these molecules are the main reason our brains process this information in the first place.

Think of it like this, we constantly produce DMT in our body’s and constantly consume it by using our sensory function. Knowing this it would be pretty obvious why there is more DMT found in dead/dying people for the simple fact that they would no longer use their sensory function therefore no longer consuming the natural DMT.

If my theory is correct this would mean that molecules like this would be one of the most if not the most important to life in general because without it we would simply not be able to percieve.

I am currently studying why people are able of having a natural DMT “trip” by meditation and i think i have a logical explanation for this, immagine you would focus on your inner mind instead of the outside world stop percieving sounds and lights around you for a prolonged period of time, if DMT is responsible for the processing of sensory information and you would stop percieving for a prolonged time this would mean you’d save up the natural DMT leaving you with more than you need when you get out of trance giving you the natural DMT trip.

Im currently stuck on the subject of why “trip” patterns are mostly in 2 colours a shade of purple and a neon green, this sounds like hallucinations but knowing that 95% of people using these substamces notice the patterns in these colours it is unlikely to be coincidence,
I was wondering if you know anything specific about these 2 colours that could explain this phenomenon? Anyway thank you for listening and i could really use some help/feedback since i am trying to prove the importance of the molecule.

Dear regards,

Wisse Wester

On a second occasion and even higher dose was requested and the tablets were explicitly chewed and swallowed, extinguishing any doubt’s Ram Dass had about whether the LSD was actually consumed, the result was the same.

If the result, or goal of “meditation” is to find one’s actual identity as consciousness, and if consciousness is constant and eternally unchanged by the contents of experience, as Sages report, then, it ought to be possible to observe the psychedelic experience in meditation as just that, an experience in awareness rather than…

“I am completely overwhelmed and at the mercy of this psychedelic.”

Psychedelic: “mind manifesting.”

Are we the mind, or are we Consciousness, in which, mind and all experiences and states, including psychedelic states, appear?

I realize these ideas may be completely foreign to most, and in fairness this is an advanced level of self realization available to someone like Neem Karoli Baba.

This article is emphasizes, starting low and taking “baby steps” with cannabis and “easing in.” There can be no question that meditation in a psychedelic state is for the experienced explorer, one for whom substance, set, and context and are as familiar and inescapable as the breath.
