I?ve been thinking lately just as much as smoking technique (which will definitely make or break the experience) and dose is important for a proper breakthrough, so is mental space or errr, your ability to surrender to it and keep your mind clear at the right moment ?
Surely with a hefty enough dose or something like ayahuasca you?ll break through either way , but I?ve definitely noticed that typical anxious rapid thought process at the wrong moment can halt the breakthrough if not rebound you completely. And who doesn?t get a adrenaline rush right before that lift off ??? So it?s something to keep in mind
This is all just names and categories i use to describe these places, but there is a place I call the ?loading dock? right before the breakthrough, sort of a circus type installment/area or at times an amazing sort of fractal city of color and sound and sensation (a lot of fun stuff to look at to keep you busy and distracted, basically )From many people?s experience reports this is the more commonly visited place, this is where I presume most are when they see all sorts of other entities who are entertaining you (so to speak) kind of like the famous machine elves Mckenna talked about. Whatever the imagery is the common pattern is many ?smaller? like entities, or even rapid syllables as described in the post above
At this point I believe some of the breakthrough is being able to not overcompensate mentally trying to...figure out and rationalize everything you?re experiencing. You can?t accomplish that fullyanyways, but the attempt Will go against the natural course of the chemical . not resisting that pull when it?s time, honestly you gotta just surrender to that overwhelming serpentine like vortex pulling you up out of your sensory consciousness .. as long as you are able to see colors and attractions, or can still make out the difference between color or sound etc you are still in a sensory perception. focus on breathing if anything at all
. Just let go and surrender to the breathe, out of all that?s the most important advice I could go .
Overthinking and anxiety can make or break ANY hallucinogen experience but considering the nature of the rapid onset with Deems , getting caught up in thought or worry at the wrong moment could make the difference between breaking through or not.
After the circus/loading dock it seems to breakthrough to a point of singularity where instead of seeing all sorts of various colors and beings, you go to a zero point and this is normally where that undiscribably sensual and mothering feminine presence is met. I get the sense that the circus type fractals are what you see AS your being broken through, sometimes dose adjustments need to be made to experience the full ride.
this to me is where the true gold of the experience is , but I understand some ppl don?t even get to the loading dock. I will add that not breaking through is not the same problem as the also commonly shared experience by many of ?being kicked out?, normally the latter happens to those who are breaking through too frequently or disrespectfully rather than someone who hasn?t at all yet.
Once at an ayahuasca ceremony in the jungles I was attending, one woman actually had NO effects whatsoever, not even slight visuals. I assume this to be More related to the MAO enzyme issue in her individual body chem more so though but idk.
.
I use an oil rig (the bongs ppl use for dabbing BHO concentrates or hash) with a quartz banger/nail , I?ve had way better experience with the quartz than using a traditional bong, pipe etc. Plus with the quartz banger you can take your dose all at once (though gangraping your lungs) instead of having to take multiple hits. But we all know not everyone?s wants to do that . I normally don?t put Water in either but don?t think into makes much of a difference.
Safe travels : see you in hyper space .
