Welcome to the forum.

I too tend to be a rational, scientific, “empirical” type of thinker, and all I can say is this: It is quite probable that DMT will change your beliefs. Beliefs about the nature of self and consciousness, about mind/body relationships, about the existence and nature of an afterlife, about life, death, love, eternity… You get the picture.

And to those who claim that DMT isn’t a sacred key that opens the door to an immaterial realm, I would say that the only reason they don’t believe this is because they haven’t yet had the necessary belief-changing experiences.
