DMT Journey: Connecting with the Universe

I finally mustered the courage to try DMT, a powerful psychedelic, after six months of hesitation. Alone in my house, with the sun shining, I took a hit and sat on the couch. As the trip began, I felt surrounded by instruments playing beautiful music and saw a blue light approaching. Soon, a dancing lady emerged, wearing a skirt made of ever-changing facial features. She spoke an ancient language, conveying profound knowledge about the interconnectedness of the universe. Together, we traveled through different levels of existence, from universes to galaxies to our planet and even to a grain of sand. She emphasized the importance of working on ourselves and being strong links in the chain of humanity, nature, and the universe.
