In november I ate some of the best acid I've ever had and learned the secret to everything/meaning of life. It was revealed to me in a brilliant flash of wisdom and eternal knowledge, and somehow, I think I was able to retain it:
The secret is.... nothing. There's nothing there. All that searching, pondering, philosophizing, investigating... once you get done with all that and really really look hard and deep and honestly... you'll find there's nothing there. Absolutely and completely nothing.
Nothing is what can never be taken away from you, and it's what you can never have (because it doesn't exist). We all dance around this existence trying to grasp as some nothing that isn't there and that grasping is what makes the world go 'round.
The world is exactly what we've made it through our actions, words, and thoughts. If you don't like the world, then start by changing these parameters. We build the world with our own hands.
We're all in this mess together, and we are all confused and lost. So one should live their life doing good things and exercising love, compassion, generosity, and compassion to help make this shithole of an existence slightly more tolerable, and perhaps even more heavenly.
I think this drives people crazy because they want to understand this "nothing" but they can't, because it doesn't exist.
IME DMT is a fucked up drug and you should be afraid to do that to your mind. If you want to have the full DMT experience, just eat high doses of mushrooms in silent darkness. It's slower, easier, more helpful, and the spirits of the mushroom are much more gentle.
But honestly, you won't find the meaning of life moreso there than anywhere else. Nothing is all around us and in us and through us. Just take the time to stop, still your mind, and remove all that crap (stuff is the opposite of nothing), and simply allow yourself to see what's already there.
