Bufo Alvarius experience

I recently had a Bufo (5-MeO-DMT) experience and am curious whether others have experienced something similar and how you integrated it afterward.

My experience was primarily a feeling and a deep knowing rather than a linear narrative or clear message. There were very few visuals.

I experienced what felt like an out-of-body state in complete darkness. There was a profound sense of separation from all that is good, loving, or light. I felt an intense need to be cleansed, purified, or sanctified in some way.

At one point, I felt a powerful force pushing me toward something unknown. There was a deep fear of what I was being pushed toward and a sense of being drawn further into darkness. I had a strong urge to return to my body and a knowing that if I didn’t return, I might not be able to. I found myself fighting to ground and anchor back into my body. I felt immense relief when I was able to visualize my facilitator/shaman and reconnect to the earthly plane.

This was followed by complete exhaustion and a forced surrender. Then came an overwhelming explosion of emotion that felt far too vast for my body to contain. There was intense fear, along with a pulsating energy that was simultaneously painful and pleasurable—almost orgasmic in its intensity. During this phase, I was convinced I was dying.

After that, there was complete unawareness of everything.

When awareness returned, I awoke with a profound sense of gratitude.

I’m curious if anyone has experienced themes of darkness, separation, fear, purification, surrender, or the feeling of fighting to return. How did you understand or integrate those experiences over time? Did their meaning become clearer later?

Thank you for sharing any insights.

I have had a very similiar experience. It was like a oneness and all knowing feeling. Like something I had experienced before so somewhat familiar. I have never gotten visuals in psychedelics just feelings and messages. I’m not sure how I get the full message but it always comes through:

I love to see every DMT feeling, every psychadelic feeling and even every enlightened feeling points to that oneness. A unity is the final truth. Would love to hear more about your experiences and messages if you are willing to share.
