I dont think he knows what he is talking about here. DMT is not like what he is talking about. I have NEVER ever had a DMT trip like that and ive taken it hundreds of times. People consumed with the idea of power will seek out that power in all kinds of places..and the idea of neuro-electric chemicals that active higher levels of consciousness is probabily one of them.
I have no doubts that there are elite groups like that that do take DMT and other psychedelics..it wouldnt be a new thing at all. People have used them that way for a loooooong time. I would be very surprised if that wasnt going on today..but in no way does that say anything about the nature of DMT. Anyone who has taken the time to read even one book on ayahuasca should know this..it is used both to heal and to curse in the amazon. That is just how it is. Within traditional witchcraft there is a saying, "how can you expect to heal if you dont know how to curse?" It is his naive approach to this whole topic that is what startles me so much.

Be kind to your body, do not destroy it with bad eating, addictive drug use, and other toxins. Appreciate being in your body and being able to have this human experience, it won't last long. Enjoy the air your breathe, the love you make, the food you eat, the way your bed feels at night. And remember that the world has a consciousness, not just you, the whole world.
