How to Use DMT and Other Psychedelics for Maximal Benefit

The “technology” of knowing “God” keeps getting better and better. At one time, there were books written by sages. If you followed their wisdom, you might have a glimpse of the Infinite after a couple of decades. Then “medicines” such as Ayahuasca, Magic Mushrooms, and LSD made getting glimpses beyond one’s ego mind a whole lot easier. In recent years, another level of intensity in sacred technology has started to become popular: DMT and 5MeO-DMT. If you’ve ever tried any of these (illegal) medicines, you know their potential for spiritual enlightenment. Yet, like all sacred tools, it’s important to know how to use them properly to receive maximum benefit from them.

I’ve been using various psychedelics, including DMT and 5MeO-DMT for about forty years — both with myself and others. I’ve been impressed that even when my atheistic friends have taken these drugs, they have invariably ended up believing in the existence of God after their experience. Yet, with great power comes great potential for abuse. I’ve seen people repeatedly take high doses of these sacred medicines and seemingly get little to no benefit from their experiences. To counter this tendency, I’ve come up with five guidelines for helping people get maximal value from exploring these powerful drugs.

Guideline #1: Have a Guide
