DMT: The Spirit Molecule Page #6

Synopsis: The Spirit Molecule investigates dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an endogenous psychoactive compound, which exists in humans and numerous species of plants and animals. The documentary traces Dr. Rick Strassman's government-sanctioned, human DMT research and its many trials, tribulations, and inconceivable realizations. A closer examination of DMT's effects through the lens of two traditionally opposed concepts, science and spirituality, The Spirit Molecule explores the connections between cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics, and human spirituality. Strassman's research, and the experiences of the human test subjects before, during, and after the intense clinical trials, raises many intriguing questions. A variety of experts voice their unique thoughts and experiences with DMT within their respective fields. As Strassman's story unfolds, the contributors weigh in on his remarkable theories, including the synthesis of DMT in our brain's pineal gland, its link to near-death & alien-abdu

it is life-transformitive.

It will perhaps shake you enough to realize

you know, that you need to be awake to the fact that you don't know,

and that is the beginning of starting to know.

What we see here is such a tiny part of what is real.

I get really frustrated, because awcourse there is no way to prove that where I went

was deep space that I encountered, you know

other entities, other life forms that exist in this universe.

At some point maybe our civilization will become advanced enough and we will

through off these anchors of impossible thought that these things are impossible, that it's not, you know

everything that exists, exists where we can see it.

I wrapped-up the studies in the `95 and a

really just had to take a break for a couple of years.

I was aware of a growing sense of discomfort with what I was doing

because I just couldn't explain it and a

seemed to me if I couldn't model an explain of what was going on, that I was doing and just

you know, bring in people to the edge of these kinds of experiences, it seemed

like I ought to. I was a little irresponsible to be

sort of pushing people off the cliff like that,

without really knowing exactly where I was and accepting and understanding and feeling comfortable with that model and em,

you know, I think what began downing on me after a while since I stopped the study

was that I was really dealing with a spiritual phenomenon.

What do these experiences say about the nature of reality,

the nature of our minds

or the function of our brain that we can so quickly shift

into these alternate realities?

Let's take a step back and consider how these experiences inform us

about ourselves, our conscience and the symbiosis of the two.

It started seeming to me that what was happening with DM

particularly with respect to some of these

reports of entering parallel or alternative, free standing parallels

sorts of realms of existances, that indeed was what their consciousness was doing.

The chemistry of their brain, which is the organ of consciousness, was being changed by DM

in such a way that they could then receive information

that we weren't able to receive normally.

Yes, there's the experiences from DMT and ayahuasca, and they have their, their function

but if we also look at what it enables us to see.

It just reaps that filtering mechanism away for a few minutes

and for a few minutes you're emmersed in sort of this raw data sfere

of input, of sensory input, of memories, of associations, I mean

it seems like the brain builds reality out of these things,

what you're experiencing, what you have experienced and

how associate and synthesize these things together to tell youself a story, essentially

about what's going on, where you are in space and time.

It's the brain that helps to process all this information

and to create for us an audition of what our world is all about

but we're trapped within that brain.

However, in spiritual experiences where people feel

that they get beyond theirself.

In certain types of psychedelic experiences,

where you have incredible sensory and other types of phenomena

people really feel like they are able to kind of get outside of their brain.

We have to take a really big look at what is going on within them, when they have the experience

and try to understand how it happens physiologically

and try to make sense of it from the subjective perspective as well as from the objective perspective,

I don't think you can just say, "Let's just explain it away from on the basis of science."

What I was doing early on when I was hearing these reports

were interpreting them kind of psychological

or em brain chemistry aberrations or whatever.

There's a part of the brain was being dinged that was responsible for

the alien appearance phenomenon.

This is not a new phenomenon.

Entities in altered states have been recognized for

an extremaly long time in many cultures over the millennia.

Helpers, spirits, assistants, angels,

all of these different entities have been fairly common throughout

man's experiences of altered states

and through much of man's mythology.

I don't think it's a possibility that people are, in some way, interacting with some sort

of an intelligence or scenic being or something that exists

at some level that's not in this three-dimensional physical plane.

I'm looking at it from a sense of:

"Okay, is the drug healing you?"

"Is it helping you?"

and, and or, "is it, is it giving you the tools?", "what are bringing back?"

What you bring back, I think, has to be something more than

these entities out there.

The best psychedelic explorers,

are people who realize that even

the "truths" they see on a trip

are not "truths", but "new models", new "what-ifs" alternative frames.

Unless their is a map and a clear methodology

then one will just have a variety of different experiences.

All these various experiences that have been reported

from NDEs, near-death experiences,

alien abductions, alien encounters,

sexual ecstasy,

I believe all of these experiences, in fact, are fractals.

If we understand the concept of fractal geometry,

no matter how small it is,

it contains everything that is in the larger picture

and thus that validates, profoundly, all these various experiences.

Discount the phenomenon as hallucinatory or imaginary,

I think it's maybe more useful to look at the mechanism of action, you know,

If it is real than perhaps, how does it work?

Look, there's extraordinary regular phenomena

that come-up with these things, that are clearly linked

in many ways to these larger

human issues around mysticism or religious experiences

or encounters with other entities.

And here we have it.

And if you can't go in there, and really go in there and account for this material

inside your neuro-scientific framework,

you're leaving a huge gap.

You gotta account for this stuff the way you gotta account for dreams, the way you gotta account for

all sorts of psychoactive responses.

Using DMT is an explanatory model, as kind of a mediator between our consciousness and a

a consciousness of a non-corporeal sort of reality, you know. It's handy.

With DMT, there are no words

I would try to wrap mathematical vocabulary around the experience afterwards.

I:

I specialize in the metaphor of vibration.

And how vibrations influence creative form.

That would be the key to the relationship between the spiritual realm and the ordinary realm.

This was the window that was opened by DMT.

Using psychedelic drugs or other types of pharmacological substances

can help to induce a state

where people feel that they

touch a deeper sensive reality.

Where they understand the reality on a more fundamental level.

And they gain a great deal of inside knowledge into the ways in which the world works

and how they are, as a human being, supposed to relate to that world.

DMT is somehow, seems to me in my experience

more of a break-through than LSD, mushrooms, peyote and so on.
