DMT:the spirit molecule

Migrated topic.
I thought the book was an insightful read and I respect Strassman for managing to wrangle through the red tape and actually get permission to do studies on this compound. The alien entity contact in the book is definetley fascinating, my personal beleif is that set and setting, though they do play a part, would not be enough to sway those trips in the direction of alien contact. My pet theory is that DMT is like a hyperdimensional portal but where you end up through that portal is pretty random, a little bit like that Infinite Improbability Drive from Hitchikers guide to the galaxy. :) I feel that human consciousness is very maellable and is not constricted by size like things are in our dimension are, so DMT may be a portal into those inner dimensions of one's self which are just as large as the universe or larger! It seems you can really encounter an assortment of entities on DMT, from the now famous elves, wizards, sprites, gods and all sorts of alien presences. The knowledge we have of these places is still so small and it's still all a wonderous mystery but further studies and explorations are sure to be fruitful and fascinating. :D
 
I am often quite a reckless character (the clown in me) and my first experience with the Spice exemplifies this trait. I didnt know what it was, infact 2 minuites before my first launch, I had never heard of it. I had no idea what to expect apart from being told by some Eastern European in very broken English "you see machines". Without any consideration on my part I decided to have a look. Well I can tell you I saw a hell of alot more than just machines. The trip was fantastic more beautifull than anything 30 odd years of life had ever shown me. However it was edged with real fear. Did I just kill myself? How long will this last? Will I ever come back? Have I damaged my self? Will I ever be the same again? All questions you should probly try to answer before trying anything new. Well to say "I came out wanting to know all about It" is a bit of an under statement. I made every efort over the next few weeks to learn all I could. Shortly after I found "The Spirit Molecule". I read it cover to cover then re read portions and digested the information that Strassman had to offer. I found it sober, rational and informative. I know that Im rash, reckless and somtimes quite stupid, but I didnt want to end up dead, hurt or hooked on somthing evil. I believed Strassman's assertions and accepted many of his conclusions. It was all very reasuring. In fact "The Spirit Molecule" was for me a massive green light. It gave me the confidence to go back and explore lots! As for the bad experiences mentioned in the book. I dont know, every time I do it I want it to be great, fantastic, extrodinary etc. Somtimes it isn't. Every now and again it scares the living shit out of me, it leaves me shaking and sick with a mess in my pants and do you know what? I still love it.
 
I thought it was a good read but it wasnt anything new for me. For me it was just a bunch of trip reports and stories of strassmans efforts to get the permission for the experiments. :? I guess i just had higher expectations. A good read tho none the less. :)
 
Strassman's theory that dmt is produced in the pineal gland and that it regulates REM sleep and the birth and death process has become quite an influential thought in entheogenic circles. time will only tell if he is right or not but you got to give the man credit for coming up with new and exciting theories like that in this day and age.
 
definently, i agree with u! I guess i would have just loved to have heard more of an elaboration on these theories! I think maybe the book was spoilt for me cos i had heard of his theories before i read it... :( For anyone new to dmt I would recomend reading it thats for sure! :D
