"Like that of the intrepid scout who surveys the fantastical geography of new worlds for

Journeying inte the invisible world revealed by his use of the dissociative psychedelic
DXM {dextromejherphan), Dan Carpenter found that what he experienced was not
simply subjective sensations and psychological states but an abjective world of familiar
if inordinately odd landmarks and characters. The running diary he kept of these
woyages recounts impressions of s landscape charted by other travelers into this inner
space and includes descriptions of many of the same phenomena recorded by such
mind travelers as Terence and Dennis McKenna, Alexander and Ann Shulgin, and others
who have experienced the Hive Mind—the pool of all consciousness. Inte this territory.
where expression is like chaos theory, where addly symmetrical order manifests out of
the seemingly anarchic swirl of images and events, the author ventures with the mind-
set of @ naturalist, accepting whatever might be rather than what he hopes he might
find, What emerges ts not a location crafted by subjective experience, but a landscape
that embodies the Other and that represents a conscious state in which the barriers.
between the self and the not-self dissolve.
DAM CARPENTER (7963-2005) took thirteen high-dose, closed-eye tips using DxXM
between January 2003 and Juty 2004, which he has documented in this book.
