I always wondered what would happen if someone had a natural trip exactly like DMT or 5MEO DMT, well I found an example, this may be old news to some, but Eckart Tolle.
In his book “The Power of Now,” in his first chapter he explains how he became a spiritual teacher and how he connected to the Divine, the Universe, and to the realization of the Now.
He says
"I cannot live with myself any longer." This was the thought that kept repeating itself in my mind. Then suddenly I became aware of what a peculiar thought it was. "Am I one or two? If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me: the ‘I’ and the ‘self’ that ‘I’ cannot live with." "Maybe," I thought, "only one of them is real." I was so stunned by this strange realization that my mind stopped. I was fully conscious, but there were no more thoughts.
Then I felt drawn into what seemed like a vortex of energy. It was a slow movement at first and then accelerated. I was gripped by an intense fear, and my body started to shake. I heard the words "resist nothing," as if spoken inside my chest. I could feel myself being sucked into a void. It felt as if the void was inside myself rather than outside. Suddenly, there was no more fear, and I let myself fall into that void. I have no recollection of what happened after that.
That day I walked around the city in utter amazement at the miracle of life on earth, as if I had just been born into this world.
I understood that the intense pressure of suffering that night must have forced my consciousness to withdraw from its identification with the unhappy and deeply fearful self, which is ultimately a fiction of the mind."
Eckhart Tolle - The Power of Now, Chapter 1
Whether or not he did some DMT and doesn’t admit it, or whether or not he knows about DMT or its similarities to his personal experience, his description matches that, to me, exactly like a DMT experience.
Actually, listening to his audiobook, Found here:
***(Has since been removed from Youtube, just Google it and find it elsewhere)
I understand every word of what he is talking about from my own personal DMT experiences, so much so that I cannot understand how his book has become a #1 bestseller, in other words I can’t imagine how so many people who have not had mystical experiences can relate. Someone told me that they really do not understand, that Oprah recommended him and shot him up to the #1 selling guru of all time, making people buy his books. But listening to his books he goes to very high levels, I am glad that he has put that out into the world and that so many have read it.
As for myself I have had mystical experiences no different than Jesus or Buddha, but in every case I knew that I had taken something external to get there. I often thought that if someone had a mystical experience of those proportions naturally, they would write books about it, re-write Revelations, and travel the world preaching the Divine news. Well, it seems as though I have recently found at least one case.
(I have had at least 1 natural trip exactly like DMT, but in bed half-way asleep, and the content of it was just a series of lectures telling me to get my shit together like to stop drinking. I also have had them before in a handful in dreams, where I dreamt that I hit a pipe and blasted off into hyperspace, the experience seemed exactly the same).
