..> From everything that i have so far understood,Pineal DMT is what allows your soul to exist in your body. When you choose to smoke DMT it removes any conditioning, or filters from the mind and allows direct experience of Universal consciousness. The experts believe that what you see is always there, but in our normal life our filters prevent it from being seen. Perhaps at night when we sleep in our submissive states those filters are also removed which is when we "dream".>>??:?:

It is the central storage point of all bounds of consciousness within our biosphere? Really who knows, but it IS definitely something... will we ever know?
The primary effects can be links largely to structure and signal refraction, basically the resonance of the molecule, an electrochemical property, causes electrochemical signals sent through it, when it or metabolites of it interact with synapses, to be sort of fractalized.RayOfLight said:
Many molecules have this same effect, it involves serotonin receptors and glutamate receptors and by stopping the action of either of these the effect does not take place. Also the shape of the molecule is a major factor, so not all molecules that interact with these receptors cause the same effect, they must have a symmetry that refracts the signals in a specific way, like a phase shift.
Then they must deal with the enzymes designed to break down the molecules, DMT as you know is broken down very fast, however add an HO group to it and you make it orally active, this is psilocin.
By having a molecule that refracts the signal, kind of like a prism or a some forms of calcium based crystals, that also interacts with the right receptors and also withstands metabolism, then you have these effects. Shapes can vary, which is why there are so many 2c series molecules that are active, but shape affects refraction and interaction and so effects vary to some degree due to the shape.
When considering DMT, it might be wise to consider related molecules like psilocin and DET, diethyl instead of dimethyl...
One thing to think about is what the shamans say, that the vine causes the true visions and the leaf makes em brighter, that the real active in aya is the vine itself and that DMT containing plants are additional, not primary ingredients. I would strongly suggest that people interested in shamanic practice place emphasis upon the vine, which is associated with telepathy, remote viewing and visions, not merely scintillating ultra detailed patterns in super technicolor.
"merely" ? Are we talking about the same dmt? :lol:
Just because some cultures say one thing it doesn't mean you should follow what they say. Its not like there is consensus on the value and way to use ethnobotanicals amongst indigenous people and 'shamans' anyways. Just use what you want and how you want it, no need to follow someone else 8)

The greatest tool/medicine mankind has ever seen, left by a higher power (however you define that power) to facilitate a reunification between the human consciousness and the divine.

Without a doubt it's always there. It's the dream world from which all reality(s) spring(s) forth. I believe the filters can also be unveiled through meditation..

This is the most accurate description I have ever read.
All sorts of exotic things, but I like to keep it conservative and think of it as a neurotransmitter active in brain mechanisms involving categories of perception. Neurons use it as an "alert" signal to other neurons when the brain is processing new information which runs contrary to known categories. It "softens" what is known so it can be merged with new information. This could also explain how it may have a role in dreams when information is consolidated and in NDEs when the mind prepares for the end.
The DMT trip sets off a massive cascade of unfocused receptivity by those neurons coordinating information flow. They are no longer able to collaborate on categorizing information because they are all switched-on simultaneously. The ability to make linear judgments involving quantities is jammed by the flood of raw sensory data, and we revert to a sort of timeless proto-consciousness, in which the mind, though lucid amidst its reflection, is no longer subject to artificial notions of causality.
Just my hypothesis.
I think DMT (and other psychedelics) open up pathways to cognitive pathways not normally considered "natural". In the subversion of normal sense experience we become aware of natural patterns we have conditioned ourselves to ignore. Anyone who has had a lot of experience with psychedelics has experienced that sense of telepathy, where the minds of two trippers are intertwined, and the distinction between individuals becomes hazy. We think and feel for each other and pass memories around like drawings. I think that the implications of this and other similar phenomena go much deeper down the rabbit hole than most materialists are willing to speculate about. I agree with that hesitation, but I can't wait to see more human research done! :shock:

In all honesty, I have long ascribed to the theory that what we are experiencing as life on earth could be nothing more than an elaborate video game type scenario, whether for our soul's own personal enjoyment (why else do you play a game, even if it's this challenging?) or for some other reason. DMT and substances like it are like the proverbial 'easter eggs' that the 'developer(s)' left over for us to remind us of the true reality of the situation we find ourselves in. In the words of Robert Monroe, 'We are here as humans because we are all addicted to the experience of being human', like a gamer who is really, REALLY into the game he's playing, so much so that he starts to lose touch with the outside world (hyperspace). Knowing that this 'Planet Earth video game' can be so addictive, it would make sense that the 'developer' or creator would leave behind something in-game so those really addicted gamers would come across it and be reminded that they are only playing a game, nothing more and nothing less.
In a lot of ways it feels sort of like a joke. Like, life on Earth is really funny from an outside perspective, but while you're caught up in it it can be messy and downright unpleasant at times. I believe wholeheartedly that psychedelics were placed here as tools to be able to get out of the game of life for awhile and bask in the radiance of where you come from and will eventually return to, sort of like taking a time out from a very stressful job you have to do. It helps to gain this outside perspective as it helps improve our in-game situation by reminding us not to take this temporary thing called life to seriously. Have fun! Enjoy it! Learn all you can, but don't get caught up in the rat race it's not for your highest good. That's always the feeling I'm left with after a deep experience.
