if you enjoyed that book ,- the spirit molecule- you should look into terrence mckenna and daniel pinchbeck's books on contemporary shamanism. really great stuff! both talk about dmt frequently, and their work is what informs my assertion that there is a connection b/w dmt and lucid dreaming/other visionary phenomena

i will definitely try to read as much as i can in each of the forums so i'm not repeating anything that's old news or going off topic. but, if necessary, i wont be offended if i need to be steered back to the point.

ooh, another huge interest of mine is the idea that the "great work" of alchemy was not to create physical gold, but to gain full control over one's dreams. the alchemical formulas and "doses" were actually methods of intensifying one's concentration for that purpose. i suspect i might spend a lot of time in that "beyond lucid dreaming" forum.

anyway, great to be here, and thanks for being so welcoming!
