Self/Other Fusion #

This technique supersedes sahasrara for practitioners ready to leverage THH and vaporized N,N-DMT.

The problem: subject and object #

Our experience can often be divided into a subject and object. It is obvious that there are many objects to focus on: a sound, a thought, the taste in your mouth, an itch on your arm. What is less obvious is that the origin of the subject, the point from which you seem to be looking or touching, can also move. Close your eyes and touch something. Notice your hand as the origin: you seem to be sensing the object from your hand, reaching out to meet it. Now shift attention to the soles of your feet, pressing against the floor; the origin relocates there, as if you were sensing the floor from your feet instead. This is not an exhaustive list; the origin can move to other places on the body as well.

This subject/object, self/other divide defines individuality. To transcend individuality, we can set up two overlapping frames with opposite self/other divisions and blur them together.

The method #

Assume the sahasrara hand position: right (or left) hand held above the head. This posture gives you two frames with opposite self/other assignments, viewed from the same body:

• Origin at the head (customary), observing the hand as object
• Origin at the hand, observing the head as object

Neither frame is more correct than the other. Alternate between them until both are equally available, then blur them together.

THH: locating the intersection #

Take 5-30mg of THH beforehand. THH lights up a region near the two frames, the place where head-frame and hand-frame overlap.

DMT: concentrating attention #

N,N-DMT helps concentrate attention near that region, deepening the blur and making the collapse of self/other more complete. You only need enough to loosen things up, not so much that you start having visions or lose awareness of consensus reality.

Notes #

Fine to combine with withdrawal of the senses and foot soaking.
