One can, however direct the tryp by what I will call the "intent of the soul"<br />

or will.<br />

Many users, including myself, have felt possessed by various spirits while<br />

on <strong>DM</strong>T, as if becoming a medium and channeling alien thoughts. This can<br />

be quite heavy. It has been generally positive for myself and the people I've<br />

smoked <strong>DM</strong>T with, but I've heard stories from others who have expenenced<br />

the opposite extreme.<br />

On <strong>DM</strong>T the perception of time slows to nearly a complete stop. During this<br />

stage one may feel that they are not breathing, or that their heart has<br />

stopped. However, this is due to one's state of perception. Many users report<br />

being aware of millions of vibrations and sounds going through the universe<br />

and their bodies, the body often bursting with energies they never knew<br />

existed. One can let these feelings flow through them, or if appropriate,<br />

direct the movements to some type of dance, yogic exercise, or drumming.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se "physically manifesting" energies are gentler on N,N-<strong>DM</strong>T than on<br />

5-MeO-<strong>DM</strong>T.<br />

<strong>DM</strong>T frequently produces changes in the facial expression of the user,<br />

which can appear quite bizarre to an onlooker. It would seem as though the<br />

human face has the potential for a far greater number of expressions than we<br />

normally use, possibly even the ability to carry on sophisticated<br />

communication through facial expression. <strong>DM</strong>T acts as a catalyst to awaken<br />

this realm of movement by exercising the muscles involved and realigning<br />

the underlying energies. It's also possible for this realignment of energies to<br />

take place in other areas of the body, occasionally instigating a shamanic<br />

dance.<br />

In recent years <strong>DM</strong>T has become quite notorious in the <strong>psychedelic</strong><br />

underground, primarily through the writings of Terence McKenna. And<br />

despite the fact that it is rare and highly sought after, once it becomes<br />

available to those who are seeking it, very few people use it frequently after<br />

a short period of initial use. I've assumed that many people have joy rides<br />

for their first several trips, then have an experience which is extremely<br />

frightening or intense, leaving them intimidated about continuing <strong>DM</strong>T use.<br />

However, I like a friend's recent explanation for this observation better:<br />

"<strong>DM</strong>T gets progressively 'weirder' as you keep smoking it."<br />

What I've described about <strong>DM</strong>T so far can be applied to both varieties.<br />

However, some characteristics of the two are quite different. I had been<br />

using 5-MeO-<strong>DM</strong>T for a few years before obtaining any N,N-<strong>DM</strong>T. After I<br />

first tried N,N-<strong>DM</strong>T I concluded that 5-MeO-<strong>DM</strong>T feels like sheer force,<br />

whereas N,N-<strong>DM</strong>T feels like sheer perfection.
