TOAD / SAPO ALAVARIUS CEREMONY INTRODUCTION
The toad has held a place in humanity’s archaic consciousness since time immemorial. The earliest representations of Bufo toads (and toads generally) go back thousands of years. The appearance of toad-based artifacts is prehistoric and possibly pre-linguistic, being portrayed in ancient pictographs, paintings, and small sculpture. According to anthropology.
The texts first places the use of Bufo toad venom all the way back to Neanderthal Man one hundred thousand years ago.
The Effects of 5-MeO-DMT from the Bufo Toad
The unique effects of this toad, exclusively found in the Mexican desert, are attributed to its main chemical, 5-MeO-DMT. These effects differ from other types of DMT sourced from various plants, such as the vines used in the well-known South American ayahuasca brew.
Considered a distinct tool for self-discovery, it offers an experience akin to becoming ‘consciousness without identity.’ This reported sensation aligns with the experiences of others who have used this medicine, suggesting that Seris shamans may have shared a similar understanding.
But what does it truly mean to become consciousness without identity? It’s not a transformation; rather, it involves recognizing that it has always been that way. Mainstream science asserts that consciousness arises from the biochemistry of the body and brain. However, what if consciousness exists independently of the body? What if one’s true identity is pure awareness? Honest scientific research into subjects like out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, and past lives supports this notion.
This challenges the common idea of identity tied to the body, urging us to embrace a fundamental re-identification. The shaman often employs the rebirth metaphor to point to this re-identification. Just as you receive an identity at birth, realizing that your perceived identity isn’t truly you, and that your true self is pure awareness, marks a profound rebirth.
You Are Eternal Like the Sun
You are akin to the sun. From our earthly viewpoint, the sun seems to be born at sunrise and dies at sunset. However, when observed from the vastness of space, we realize the sun is never born nor does it die; it is essentially eternal. Similarly, within the context of our ordinary reality, it seems as though we are born and later experience death. Is there a different perspective, a broader framework, revealing that our true self, our fundamental unconstructed self, is also without birth or death? Are we, too, eternal?
As mentioned earlier, at birth, we acquire an apparent identity. When we re-identify with our true self — our pure, unchanging, eternal awareness — we experience a profound rebirth.
The Mexican Seri Indians intentionally used a timeless metaphor to convey that you exist beyond the constraints of time itself. You exist as pure awareness, and time, space, energy, and matter are all created within you. This re-identification as pure awareness is the deepest and most fundamental rebirth the Seri Indians are referring to.
While many have heard that the world is an illusion, few have heard someone say that they themselves are also an illusion.
(Remember, an illusion has some reality to it; it just tricks you into believing a false identity).

Recommendations before and during the experience
Within thirty seconds, there will be an onset of almost overwhelming psychedelic effects. You will be completely absorbed in a complex chemical event characterized by an overload of thoughts and perception, a brief collapse of the EGO, and a loss of the space-time continuum. Relax, breathe regularly, and flow with the experience. After two to three minutes, the initial intensity fades to a pleasant dream sensation in which visual illusions, hallucinations, and perceptual distortions are common. You may sense a distortion in your perceived body image or notice the world shrinking or expanding. Colors may appear brighter and more beautiful than usual, and most likely, you will experience a euphoric mood interspersed with bursts of unmotivated laughter.
Important Considerations
Every psychedelic experience is chiefly a function of set and setting, of preparation and environment. The better prepared you are, the better the experience will be for you. Consider the following instructions:
1. Smoke the venom fairly early in the day on an empty but not starving stomach.
2. ONE WEEK BEFORE THE CEREMONY: Do not drink any alcohol, engage in sexual activity, or take antidepressant medication or any drugs leading up to smoking the venom.
3. Bring one liter of purified water, leave fear behind, and accept the experience with love!
4. Not recommended for people with heart problems, significant depression, or anxiety issues.
Key Notes on 5-MeO-DMT Effects
Physical Effects
The impact of 5-MeO-DMT intensifies with dosage, showcasing the most pronounced physical sensations in the psychedelic realm. Tactile enhancement stands out as an overwhelming experience, akin to a full-body orgasm, which, though intense, is not associated with respiratory danger. Other physical effects include euphoria, nausea, alterations in bodily control, motor control loss, changes in gravity perception, and more.
Cognitive Effects
5-MeO-DMT induces a range of cognitive effects, including an enhanced current mind state, mindfulness, conceptual thinking, thought connectivity, and analysis enhancement. Users may also experience anxiety, time distortion, direct communication with the subconscious, unity and interconnectedness, memory suppression, ego death, delusions, amnesia, and heightened wakefulness.
Visual Effects
The visual effects of 5-MeO-DMT vary in intensity, with changes in visual acuity, color enhancement, shifting, tunnelling, environmental orbism, and drifting. Geometry, while intricate and similar to DMT, tends to be smaller and more likely to manifest in darkness or without distractions. The visuals are described as highly detailed, slow and smooth in motion, and consistently intense.
This overview provides insights into the profound and multifaceted aspects of 5-MeO-DMT, encompassing its physical, cognitive, and visual dimensions.
