After discovering DMT ive practically gone on a learning binge and have come across several interesting facts/theories. Please post some of you knowledge if you come across this thread.
DMT is highly suggested to come from the pineal gland in the brain. This gland has long been known as the 'third eye' or the 'seat of the soul' throughout cultures and religions.
The pineal gland is located in the very center of the brain between the lobes and is very close to nerve cells/neurotransmitters (name escapes me, i believe it is collisuli or something) that is wildly responsible for visuals, auditory and regulates emotional feelings, it is only separated from the pineal by a thin layer of cerebrospinal fluid.
We do factually know that melatonin (i believe also a very mild hallucinogenic) is created in the pineal gland, however it has no reason to be in the center of the brain. It could be in the back of the neck or by the spine and be able to do its job just as efficiently. For DMT effects to be imminent and precise however, its location is crucial.
As we know, DMT is released in times of extreme high stress and near death experiences as well. But why not with only mild stress or with mild adrenaline? The brain actively protects this little gland that is centered within our brain ferociously. The pineal gland actually creates a enzyme that acts as a barrier for adrenaline and other substances that could trigger DMT so we do not get full blast affects of DMT throughout our daily lives (imagine whenever you get excited or go run you fall down and enter the 'spiritual reality') A Very advanced defense mechanism we have evolved.
This defense mechanism can be overridden with extreme stress situations such as giving birth without anesthetics, near death, possibly when the baby is being born as well. It is known some newborn animals carry DMT with them, yet noone has tested mothers giving birth or the newborns for DMT traces.
The pineal becomes visible in a fetus in (i believe) 49 days, pretty much the exact time when we can see if the baby is male or female.
This may have been debunked and misleading: In the Buddhism practice, it takes 49(?) days for a soul to be reincarnated, the same amount of days it takes for the pineal to form.
VERY interesting... The pineal gland, although in the center and in a deep part of the brain, is not composed of brain tissue at all! In a fetus, the pineal grows in the top of the mouth, made out of specialized cells, and migrates to this deep area in the brain!
We know very little about the process of death. Are we dead with our final breath? does our mind keep ticking for a while? Is the pineal gland releasing DMT and easing us into the spiritual world from our biological body? Is this why some traditions not move/disturb or bury the dead for a period of time?
So many questions, no research being conducted for answers. Being the curious creatures we are, this is very odd. Please add to this list and feel free to correct me anywhere where i may have gone wrong in the post, imma little tired :idea: :lol:
