DMT: The Spirit Molecule Page #2

experiences that were possible with a lot of meditation.

And that was one of the original findings that led me to start looking for a "spirit molecule."

For a compound in the brain that released mystical experience.

I think there may be a role for DMT in explaining any number of

hallucinatory phenomena that man has experienced throughout his history.

Creativity, imagination, dream states,

changes that occur due to isolation,

trauma, starvation, all of which produce hallucinatory phenomena.

These hallucinatory phenomena are explainable

by the presence of compounds known to produce hallucinations.

And the only compounds we know are capable of doing this

are the class of compounds knows as hallucinogens.

When thinking about spiritual states,

I think endogenous hallucinogenic compounds and molecules

that the brain can potentially release

are probably very relevant to this topic because

on one hand, they may really help us to elucidate

what is the neuro-chemical mechanism of these experiences. I mean

if we can say that there is a release of endogenous opioids or we can say that there's a release

of dopamine or something like that

and we can measure that release and we can see where in the brain those different molecules go.

What receptors they activate or deactivate.

And hence we can learn really a lot more about what these experiences are

because it can really allow us to match up these experiences

that people have with hallucinogens

as well as understanding where are they related in the context of the brain's receptors

and the different parts of the brain that can merely not become active.

One of the other interesting things about the pharmacology of DM

is that it is actively transported into the brain,

and so you have to wonder about the world of DMT in just every day normal perceptual, you know, activity.

Too much DMT and things become very psychedelic or you know

not enough, you know, DMT and the brain can make things dull and flat and gray.

There's something that, for me, makes sense about DMT. You call it the "spirit molecule"

To me it must be called the "reality molecule"

Philosophically, it makes sense that something that would be so fundamental to em

the way we perceive reality, would be in..em out there in reality.

There was a sense about it was something special.

That it wasn't like anything else. That wasn't like other psychodelics.

Its intensity and speed was such that it really produced a different kind of response.

I mean, I remember almost getting the sense that is was a kind of like a, like a psychedelic bungee jump.

That there was a kind of raw leap into this rapidly changing environment
