My partner very frequently has had unexpected alterations to her mood when I am in her presence while in the throes of a psychedelic experience, but sadly I can't say such has ever happened with DMT. On a few occasions she has even felt the effects of simple partial seizures starting to happen, but thankfully never escalating to a full-on grand mal stage.
What has always been odd on each occurrence has been that my trips are always taken after dusk, while her seizures without fail will begin before sunset. With the sudden intensity that they come on with, she is almost in disbelief that convulsions never come, and that after distancing myself from her, they will completely come to a halt.
She has had strong dissociative trips before, and dislikes them for very much the same reasons as she dislikes the partial seizures. I find this paradox of our relationship remarkable. We relate on so many levels, yet differ so vastly (we're polar opposites even) in both mental interpretation and physical reaction to dissociative receptor activity.
Were it not for the risk of physical trauma associated with grand mal seizures, I would certainly experiment with how much of an effect I could have on her. That sounds awful from some perspectives - I know - since even extended partial seizures can have long-acting (but not permanent) affects on memory, coordination, and judgement. Seizures are inherently anti-depressive, being the proven therapeutic use of electroconvulsive therapy, and she does suffer from bi-polar depressive cycles. In theory, could it be possible for one individual to treat another's depression by use of induced seizures through their mere presence? ECT uses electrodes attached to a patient's brain, through which electrical signals are passed. Every human's brain is capable of generating extraordinary amounts of electrical current. When certain receptors are either completely shut down or allowed to flood certain areas of the brain with unimpeded signal transfer, could an individual create a small electrical field beacon, so to say, as a result of that receptor activity?
Such power of the consciousness is what draws me away from atheist beliefs, and is the single most intriguing aspect of life I have yet to encounter.
I'd like to extend my thanks to the OP and everyone else for posting their thoughts. I've read some new ideas and perspectives on the matter here, and have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one
