So things dont always go the way you want.
My dear sitter has gotten swamped with work, so he probably cant help me out till just before xmas where my scheduel begins to be tight.
So Im considering doing my 2nd trip the McKenna way at home alone.
We're talking 1g Semanilceata and 3-4g cubes mixed up in OJ.
My first was 2g Semanilceata and lasted me 4hours 20 min after ingestion. Then another hour or two to reach baseline. Is there any way to guestimate how much longer the above would last and have any of you gone straight from first time to do 2nd time alone?

I have never had a sitter - it is generally easier to 'spiral downwards' if you are alone; you have nothing to distract you from your own mind.

Do you think the amount I mention would be enough to go over the edge?

Any amount is enough to go over the edge to be honest - it all depends on the person :P

I have always been alone and never had a bad experience. I only do it when my mind is completely clear and if I stay in my room, I make sure it's spotless. Just have fun and don't even worry about having a bad trip, it's highly unlikely. Your dose will probably last 6 hours maybe? If things get too intense, I recommend a walk and always have good tunes on hand. Dancing is a blast, and so is smoking some good weed if you can handle it. Good luck and good vibes.

The only bad trips Ive had to endure was the result of a innapropriate doses at the wrong time and place, or with the wrong people.
It might sound lame to some but I couldn't think of a better place to dose than home alone.
Also idk what ego death means to you, I got the idea but people got to stop labeling it as death, it's just a temporary change in your sense of self. I shoot for that experience every time I dose, otherwise it ain't a trip for me.
To answer your question I started doing psychs with friends i dosed about a handful of times and never got much out of it. The first time by myself was prolly the most eye opening ride of my life and I've had a deep love and respect for psychs ever since.

Yeah... IVe come to understand the appropiate meaning of it, but people always seem to know what one is talking about when calling it that. But ok, I guess thats the way to go then...
One more question. If I do get to the point lf lost ego, will I be able to move or am I completely confined to the vastness of my minds universe?

Yes you are able to move but it feels different and you may have troube navigating your surroundings , Laying still and relaxing is when I can peacefully let go of my body and well the rest is a trip.

I've actually never tripped entirely alone except on DMT. Part of the reason is that if shit gets out of hand it's nice to have a safety net. That's a hefty dose for your second trip. Without experience who knows how you'll react. I personally wouldn't recommend that much by yourself until you've learned the ins and outs of tripping. You may be totally fine, but it's the "ifs" that worry me.
