DMT can help you tap into your Oneness?
Some scientists are calling it “the spirit molecule.” Dimethyltryptamene, or DMT, is a controlled substance that we are all guilty of possessing because our bodies produce it naturally. When extracted from plants, however, DMT becomes controlled, or illegal.
It’s illegal because DMT molecules share the same shape as molecules of seratonin, the joy juice that keeps us happy. DMT tricks our brain receptors into thinking they’ve found joy juice.
The source of DMT production in our bodies is the pineal gland, a pea-sized gland that sits dead center between the two hemispheres of our brain. Renee Descartes called the pineal gland “the seat of the soul.”
Pineal gland cells share a common evolutionary ancestry with retinal cells, which produce images of outer reality. Dream imagery, or inner reality, may derive from the DMT-laden pineal gland.
University of New Mexico psychiatrist Rick Strassman, a leading DMT research scientist, has written a book entitled DMT: The Spirit Molecule: A Doctor’s Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences.
In the book Dr. Strassman states that the pineal gland’s release of DMT at day 49 of gestation marks the entrance of the spirit into the fetus.
Is the great stuff or what!
The pineal gland is large in children, which may account for their imaginary friends and vivid imaginations. At puberty the gland begins to shrink.
In clinical trials with DMT conducted by Dr. Strassman in the 1990s, users reported a slow, deep spiritual experience similar to that of psilocybin mushrooms but more intense. Sixty percent of his volunteers reported similar experiences involving other-worldly entities who seemed to be trying to share information with them. Dr. Strassman writes:
Indigenous cultures are in regular contact with denizens of the invisible landscape and have no problem straddling both worlds. Often they do this with the aid of psychedelic plants.
Many modern-day scientists possess an abiding faith in the spiritual. But lack of open dialogue about these issues makes it difficult to enlarge our view of the reality of nonmaterial realms usng scientific methods. Instead, we flee from considering the realm of acceptable spiritual experiences.
We may have to rely more on science, especially cosmology and theoretical physics, than on our more conservative religious traditions for satisfactory explanations of “spirit world” experiences.
Near-death experiences. Alien abductions. Lucid dreams. Even gods and goddesses. Try DMT for an explanation and it all holds together. It’s brain chemistry. It’s neuropharmacology. It’s quite possibly other realms. Whatever it is, it’s the new frontier, a closer examination of consciousness, and it’s very, very exciting.
