Dimethyltryptamine is a chemical that can be found in all manner of life (plants, animals, etc).
Your body releases it 3 times in your life: When you are born, when you are in a specific deep state of sleep, and one you die.
Some South American tribes extract DMT from plants and take in ceremonies. Users of DMT frequently report out of body experiences ( astral projection ).
Could this chemical / hormone be the reason why our souls are bound to our bodies and yet, when it is our system give us the ability to leave our bodies?
Your thoughts?
(I am in no way, shape or form supporting recreational use of DMT)
I have had a DMT experience and it is a deeply involved hallucination. it happened when my heart crashed in Detox at a behavior health unit, good thing I checked in when I did as two days in the withdrawals flubbed my heart rhythm. I suspect it is the bodies way of signing off with a pleasant distraction. I'll tell you about what I "visioned" sometime. I have also smoked DMT , though it was nowhere near what happened in the BHU. it is very risky because people will pass many crappy substances off as DMT, and they all rot the brains membrane.
Admittedly, I taken recreational hallucinogens in my wilder, crazy days.
When one trips from shrooms it is a reaction caused from psilocybin (a toxic chemical in the spores. When one rolls from ecstasy or molly it is because more serotonin is released throughout your body (the happy hormone) thus creating euphoria.
While DMT does cause the user to hallucinate, I feel like that isn't quite important as the fact that you are literally able to separate your soul from your body. I agree the reason why your body floods you with it during specific, traumatic situations is so that you can literally "check out" and not go through so much pain.
When a person dies in a traumatic manner (murder, suicide) their body releases dmt and they check out. Once apart from their dead body... than what? Could this be the science behind how some paranormal beings are created?
Thus the reason The Principia Discordia says "Consult your Pineal gland."
So true. My brother believes that people who witnessed a paranormal encounter really just have an over active pineal gland...
I never know quite what to make of his theories. He likes to use and abuse the club drugs.
it is the earliest part of the brain developed. Perhaps if not the "soul" it may provide the "spark" that ignites the machine that is Us.
got to love them native drugs, i hear Ayahuasca is good and strong but it can give you the shits

I have used DMT but only for meditation and awaking rituals.
I did watch the DMT the spirit molecule program and if you have not and are interested in DMT you need to watch it.
