DMT & Epilepsy

[Jaigurudevaom42]

Good day nexians, Jai here!
I've been searching a lot about this topic since I was just diagnosed with it too and i've been a dmt enthusiast for quite a while now. I've found only some topics on the shroomery about it but it never escalated to what I think could be something more.
When I had my first seizure the way my mind seemed to protect me from everything that happened previous to the seizure made me remember of dmt and how high doses make you forget about what happened up there.
I was wondering if any of you are epileptic and/or had had a seizure and see any resemblance
or relation between them? the descriptions my family gave me of how I looked made me think of previous trips i've had which, in their eyes, made me look "possesed" and out of this world mentally, who knows, is there any research on whether or not there's increased dmt presence in the brain while having a seizure of sorts? I just find it facinating! so let me know what you think below.

The thing about epilepsy is that it's not specific to any one part of the brain, so one epileptic might have one subjective experience while having a seizure, while another might experience something completely different.
(This is true at least for PC seizures. If you go full tonic-clonic, then everything's going to Hell in a hand-basket and unconsciousness happens in almost all cases)

Epilepsy centered in the temporal lobe has been known to produce powerful religious experiences, and I've heard at least one person describe their temporal-lobe based PC seizures as intensely psychedelic. The Russian novelist Doestoyevksy (I know I butchered that name) was known to have ecstatic seizures that precipitated religious experiences and before Terrence McKenna died, he had a series of seizures that he described as "the most powerful psychedelic experiences of [his] life."

Do you know where your seizures originate from? If they're like DMT, I would guess in the temporal lobe, or possibly the cingulate cortex, although I'm not a neurologist (but I'm working on it :d )

You could also see it as this :

Epilepsy has an ultimate effect. Dmt has an ultimate effect too.
The two ultimate effects are different, but the way one's brain functions are manifested "down the road" might be similar. Put simply, brain functions are "scrambled", not necessarily with a negative connotation, but just regulated differently. This state of different brain functioning could be similar across many conditions and events.

Jill Taylor's stroke description also sounded like a dmt experience, I doubt that dmt has something to do with it other than exerting similar states.

Well, who knows...
