DMT User interview-Richard

[@crazyturkturk1733]

i don’t know if you’ll see this richard, but i don’t think you’re a narcissist or a sociopath at all. You did drugs like speed which can create similar tendencies to both of those, but that doesn’t mean you’re a sociopath. Your ability to cry just thinking about other people’s feelings shows you care and have empathy. Don’t be so hard on yourself man, you have a kind heart.

Was thinking the same thing. “Self diagnosed”

[@crazyturkturk1733]

@@noahbrown4388 yeah he really seems extra hard on himself just bc of some poor tendencies caused by drug abuse/homelessness/environment he was raised in. no narcissist or sociopath is crying out of empathy like that. they’d force themself to cry to make a situation more about them but that’s not what i see here at all. i see a man who hurts for others in the struggle

DMT "User" doesnt sound right. Its not like other substances people "use". I use DMT to explore my conciousnes. Sometimes its terterrifying, sometimes its the most beautiful experience you'll ever know. It always makes me realize whats important in life. Its kinda like a reset on jadedness, and it makes me a better human. It also helped me quite smoking cigarettes several years ago, because it made me think about whats iimportant in life.

Did DMT prove to us that the worlds of spirit and religion collided and actually are and have always been one direct path? Were plant medicines used by prophets? Join us in this groundbreaking documentary about DMT and spirtual healing. and the secret behind its controversial prohibition imposed by religions and governments Wars are won in the minds of the people not on the battlefield - Mark Phillips He died because he put his head above the parapet to spread the truth - well his message did not die though.... the war is a subtle one are we SANE or insane to accept the prison matrix we live in today? I hope people can begin to realise the significant collusion by religion and state to stop people interfacing with plant medicine a divine gift form God that were given to Adam at the birth of humanity - God has sent his messenger to reclaim this right for the people of God, he is Aba Sadiq FHIP the RISER of Truth on our day and age.

[@moniquesacks2953]

Here's a useful trick to remember to avoid being scared on psychedelics: if you are still aware (of anything), then you are still thinking so are not dead. Also the breathing thing; even if you can't tell you are breathing, don't worry; if you hadn't have been breathing then you'd have died - just being aware, proves that you have been breathing, as you aren't dead.

[@zachkent2575]

​​​@@Zenjunsai I think about your example of a drug addict often, I find it really interesting. It feels like some people who may sincerely be trying to recover from drug addictions unintentionally play a game of counting the days of sobriety which keeps them engaged with the addiction at a very close mental proximity and I think a lot of people get a certain type of high off of the counting or the continued proximity to the addiction or even off of telling the "recovery narrative." I remember hearing a joke/story about an AA meeting where people were talking about how long they'd been sober and one guy says, "You guys are still counting the days?" To me it feels like if you're counting, and if you're often telling all the strangers online your count, then you very likely weren't ready to give up your habit and will relapse on it soon enough.

[@meganeitel7541]

My husband passed in 2012 and I'm 43 years old now. Been through several addictions as well and in recovery now. It's been a hard road and a tough life in addiction that I don't recommend and I do regret. Addiction cost me a lot in my life. I have bi polar 1 too and ADHD. Been through trauma and abuse a lot in my life too unfortunately. I've experienced acid and shrooms but not DMT and yes they are not addictive and provide a enlightened experience for many but it also can cause phychosis and permanent damage to the brain. Especially if you take it regular and doing à lot of it. I feel bad for this guy watching his video. He's struggling to talk and say words and keep his train of thought. He's obviously got a lot going on or has done permanent damage possibly to his brain. It's hard to say without a psych evaluation and sobriety maybe meds n so on. I hate to see any addict struggles. It's not funny to me at all. I agree when he says it's the wild wild West in the drug scene especially in LA. The epidemic of drugs and addicts is at an all time high. Sending peace n love and prayers to this man and those like him on Skid Row. My drug life and history is a horrible life and story but sometimes I get perspective by watching Marks videos of people on Skid Row that make me feel grateful for not having a worse life on drugs as they do. I wasn't homeless and I had food and shelter and family. Resources to get sober like therapy and insurance and my medication. I have more than this man. Thank you for sharing your story. I needed to see this video tonight. It's given me the perspective I needed. I am going through a hard time and don't want to jeopardize my recovery and all I've worked on and changed and throw away all I have worked so hard for. I appreciate that Marks channel has been a tool for me with my own life experiences and addiction. Marks channel makes me stay informed and gives me a lot that's hard to put into words. Every time I watch a video it usually helps me in some way. It's become to me like a community of people nationwide coming together and sharing together and communicating with being about to comment and talk. I know Mark is helping me too and I've never met him or made a video. As a viewer I'm grateful for the soft white underbelly it's a connection I deeply need too. Thank you for what you do Mark. Much love Megan Illinois

Thanks Richard. We have listen and shared your story here in Brazil man. We cried couple of times, especially when you said about lack of love and traumatised people roaming the streets there, lot of that going on here as well. People see addiction as a disease of the body but it is most often the disease of themind because of lack of love, feeling of lack of care, feeling of despair and all those things that lead us to trying to get love through substance. DMT can be a channel to see love as the only way out of things. not on the hippie sense, but in the actua; practical, day-to-day sense. Sending you lots of love through these lines.

[@mauiskater]

ALOHA from Maui. Your channel has taught me so much over the years. Mahalo nui loa for all you do!!! You are so good at what you do. You bring out the most interesting stories from your guests. You treat everyone with such respect. I admire how you have also learned and grown. This has to be your passion or there is no way you could do this work. I hope you take good care of yourself and your own mental health. This last year has been the worst of my life for several reasons. Life is just a lot of luck and decision making. Sometimes we have one or the other, neither or both. You show us that we are in the end responsible for our own lives. Nobody can change for them. That is the most heartbreaking part of these stories. Not a lot of happy endings. My brother in law is a meth addict for 25 plus years. He is currently in jail again. Love to you from sunny and warm Maui. We too are in pain out here. It is going to be a long journey. A lot of healing needs to be done....

Beautiful interview, just amazing to draw the emotions out of this guy, and see the reflection of his past, with honesty. One of the best interviews I've seen, keep up the great work!!

[@ant_shotit]

Thank you brother for sharing your story. I too get quite emotional when I recall my spiritual awakening to someone because to remember feeling that divine love engulf you and to feel it through every fibre of your being is such a powerful feeling you can’t not get emotional. The loving embrace of the creator is an indescribable feeling, you can’t compare it to any other kind of love you may experience in this “reality” not your mother, father, not your wife, not your children, not any drug can give you this feeling, and yes I was completely sober when this event took place, hands down the most powerful experience of my life. After all the bad things I’ve done in my life I could have never imagined that I would be worthy of such love and forgiveness. Best way I can describe it is an embrace of forgiveness and love, but there are no words in the human language to describe this feeling.

[@AmazingRebel23]

Yeah fr when i went to a music festival i got so drunk and high i was convinced British people had their own god that only they know and felt the need to warn people. Also got the feeling that every memory I have ever had from 2004 onwards was unlocked but I have no way of knowing whether any of the thoughts from that time were really what I thought when I was 4.

[@Eric-th2kx]

If you don’t mind me asking, what helped or what led you to achieve this experience?

[@ant_shotit]

@@Eric-th2kx I honestly don’t know, from what my guru explained I unwittingly have gone through a certain purification process in this lifetime through trauma and how I’ve dealt with it and my karmic actions. This event was brought on by a single yoga pose, my first yoga pose in this lifetime, I felt a crack at the base of my spine and this feeling of relief just overtook my whole body and with a deep exhale perception of time ceased to exist, the sky opened up and through a very small hole in the sky a beam of sunlight came down and was hitting me directly in the chest, it was that small and precise that it was only on my chest. And that’s when the feelings of indescribable love and forgiveness came through. No other sunlight was coming through the sky, as far as the eyes could see there’s no other break in the sky with sunlight coming through apart from this very narrow precise beam. Sky was overcast with the darkest blackest clouds I’ve ever seen in my life, followed by the most extreme torrential rain I’ve ever seen or experienced it looked like a wall it was so dense but felt amazing. There was other stuff in between but that’s the jist of it, happened on a beach in Brazil, Itaipuacu. No alcohol, or any other drugs were used to induce that experience, completely sober when it happened. I wasn’t even sure if what I experienced really happened or it was just some abnormal weather phenomenon, like electromagnetic waves generated by the weather distorting my perception (air conducts electricity, weather formations can generate abnormal disturbances in the frequency fields of individuals thus affect perception). It was God, I doubt weather phenomena can generate that feeling of love and forgiveness. I was an atheist all my life in fact I used to get really pissed off and angry if people talked about God around me “get the fuck out of here with that bs” I used to say, it really got under my skin. Now I’m out here preaching the word of God to people on KZbin and today did a talk at my old school. Thank you God for allowing me to serve 🙏🏻

@@angusseletto1511 NN-Dimethyltryptamine, it's found in alot of different vegetation all over the globe, it's not just a specific herb, it's like quite a common thing in vegetation apparently..it's also found to be produced in living beings and is believed to be secreted/released from the pineal gland in our brains when we die...quite fn interesting. It's usually regarded as the second most powerful psychedelic known to man after 5-MEO Dimethyltryptamine, which is known as the God molecule, i think it's said to be about 5 times more potent/powerful than NN-dmt, i'm not quite sure how that is concluded tho. I have only tried NN-dmt a few times myself, but i do not doubt it after seeing sessions of ppl taking it😅 it's pretty wild. Anyway, that one is a toad venom extracted from the pores on the back of a species named Bufo Alvarius, native only to the Sonoran Desert, south-west in Mexico.
