thank you
yes, several times (only the extractions, not the brew)
a few experiences were comparable, and even brought new insights
but then, some of the experiences became pretty dull
well, in a way i had already learned what i needed to
however, 2 years ago, i did have another experience of the same kind as the one described. so the magic has not disappeared yet. it's just statistically harder to get there
at on point i was taking it pretty regularly (every 3 or so months in hope to get a similar experience again and cure my resurging depression). but it was not working much
last time was one year ago, and although is was just as strong an experience as you can ask, i didn't get too much from it. a big mind fuck, but not many insights
i will take it again in a few months and hope that a one year break will have been enough (i haven't taken any other psychedelics either since)
but you can never tell
the last "epiphany" experience (the one 2 years ago) happened shortly after i had had another (dull) one
anyway. what i felt after the experience described was "that's it! i will never need to take another psychedelic drug in my life!"
the curiosity and nostalgy got stronger, but i believe that deep inside, this feeling was the good one
i was just surprised to get so many answers so easily and so fast and have a hard time accepting that ayahuasca doesn't have anything more too offer me
(if it can just put me back in the same state, that's all i ask

)
