The cooperation between DMT and Mind.

I used to see DMT as an isolated thing, an external drug induced experience. Over time I've come to see the content as originating from my psyche.

In a recent experience I thought about someone important to me, someone I love. This escalated the trip dramatically, the intensity of the visuals and perceived profoundness of the message was increased. Physically, the euphoria was vibrating through my body; I was literally quivering head-to-toe like I was having a full-body orgasm. Not in a sexual way though. I think I've read kundalini awakenings are associated with that, too.

I could draw more examples to fear and anxiety that seems to manifest as different horrors, or the breakthrough experience itself that seems to be a transcendence of fear and letting go of worries.

So I've started to wonder how much our chemical-emotional state can influence the experience, and whether the experience is a sort of reflection of our emotions and subconscious.

Maybe DMT makes us more sensitive to other neurochemical processes?

I wonder if someone under the influence was injected with dopamine or serotonin, if they would have a similar physical reaction to what I had when I thought about love?

Does thinking about love expose the 5-H2A receptors more, or affect the re-uptake at the receptor, thus having a direct effect on the DMT experience?

This is thinking way ahead - but if such a relationship were discovered, maybe they could pair it with brain-mapping of thoughts and emotions, and give people full body orgasms every time they start to get anxious, or maybe as a reward for thinking positively, and let the natural habituation take over after enough times re-routing the physical-chemical response. I think they do something similar already by electrically shocking areas of the brain to change behaviors or cure depression. My friend got shocked and it worked for him.

Yeah, it's all based on our modern view of the world. As you know, our scientific model of reality is just a theoretical approximation that works relatively well to achieve a desired result. It's far from any truth, and science is not about discovering any truths anyway. I doubt that our mind is in the brain at all. The brain is how the mind looks from an outside perspective. It's all much more complex and nuanced than simply pushing a receptor button to achieve a response. Still, any theoretical model could be useful to some degree.
