Exploring Different States of Consciousness through Psychedelics

Psychedelic experiences vary in their characteristics, from the complex and colorful ecosystem of entities and patterns induced by DMT to the unifying and boundary-dissolving effects of 5MEO DMT. DMT creates competing clusters of coherence, leading to a perception of distinct entities and patterns, whereas 5MEO DMT induces global coherence, removing internal boundaries and merging the self with the universe in a state of oneness.
