The Biological Basis of Mysticism? | A review of DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman As you’re well aware of, I’m a geek for questions about consciousness. I love to think about issues such as understanding and defining experience, the nature of reality, the essence of the spiritual experience from both a physical and mental standpoint, and so on. So when I stumbled upon a book with the title of DMT: The Spirit Molecule you can imagine that I nearly wet myself with excitement. I didn’t think anyone was allowed to do research like this anymore. But someone did. DMT is sitting inside your head right now. It’s release into the brain is mediated by the pineal gland, a curious part of the brain no bigger than a fingernail, whose purpose isn’t exactly understood. And what is DMT anyway? It’s an extraordinarily powerful psychedelic. And it is found throughout the natural world. And as mentioned, it’s in you and me too. DMT: The Spirit Molecule is based on Dr. The ensuing experiences reported by his volunteers are nothing short of mind blowing. A few themes dominated: Dr. …….
Pro Medical MAarijuana + Author Affiliations Address correspondence to: Dr. Robert Eskay, Bldg. 49, Room 5A-35, 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20892. E-mail: bobsk@mail.nih.gov Abstract Binge alcohol consumption in the rat induces substantial neurodegeneration in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. Alcohol is the world's most widely used psychoactive drug, but chronic, excessive alcohol consumption leads to permanent organ damage or death. The rat model of alcohol consumption used in the current study is designed to mimic a single cycle of binge drinking in human alcoholics. Chronic ethanol consumption leads to increases in the density of NMDA receptor expression and subsequently the size of evoked calcium responses (Hu and Ticku, 1995). Ethanol may also injure the brain by increasing oxidative stress. Brain edema has also been a demonstrated result of repeated intoxication and withdrawal cycles, which are the hallmark of binge alcohol consumption (Collins et al., 1998).

Online Books : "The Essential Psychedelic Guide" - LSD INTENSITY: 3 to 7 for most experiences. MATERIAL: LSD is a synthetic compound. It is derived from Iysergic acid which is found in Hawaiian Woodrose and Morning Glory seeds, or Ergot fungus, which can grow on rye, wheat, and other grams. Lysergic acid is also psychoactive, although not nearly as potent as LSD, and has been consumed for millennia in the form of the above mentioned plant sources. The most common street name for LSD is "acid." HISTORY: LSD was first synthesized in 1938 by Dr. During the next 20 years LSD was promoted as a psychiatric aid and numerous experiments were performed in clinical settings. In the early Sixties Timothy Leary and friends began spreading the word that LSD produces magnificent spiritual experiences. DOSAGE: LSD is extremely potent by weight and the amount required for a single dose is barely visible to the naked eye. 100 mcg. of LSD is considered a minimum psychedelic dose. LSD is the most transparent of the psychedelics. 1. 2.
Ayahuasca Info "The Creative Process and Entheogens" -- Alex Grey The Creative Process and Entheogens by Alex Grey adapted from The Mission of Art PDF version of this document Twenty-five years ago I took my first dose of LSD. The experience was so rich and profound, coupled as it was with the meeting of my future wife, Allyson, that there seemed nothing more important than this revelation of infinite love and unity. Being an artist, I felt that this was the only subject worthy of my time and attention. Spiritual and visionary consciousness assumed primary importance as the focal point of my life and art. Due to its visionary richness, I think the entheogenic experience has great importance for fueling an artistic and cultural renaissance. Oscar Janiger's studies of LSD and creativity showed that many artists felt the work done while tripping or post-tripping was more inventive and inspired work than their previous work. "How can we bring the insights of the entheogenic state into our lives?" First Effects: 1). Transpersonal Stages: 4). Notes: 1.
DMT Candy for the Mind INTENSITY: 9 to 10 SAFETY FACTORS: 5-MeO-DMT is an MAO inhibitor. See list of items not to take with MAO inhibitors on page 19. [Erowid Note: This is probably wrong. MATERIAL: N,N-Dimethyltryptamine and 5-Methoxy-Dimethyltryptamine are naturally occurring psychedelics found in a variety of plants around the world, several of which are native to the Amazon region. N,N-DMT and 5-MeO-DMT are also manufactured synthetically, as separate compounds, and sold on the underground market And although it's quite rare in the psychedelic underground, synthetic DMT is used much more often than DMT from natural sources. HISTORY: There are several plant sources of DMT, many of which have uniquely different histories of use. Two sources of DMT, Anadenanthera peregrina and Virola theiodora, are made into snuffs, commonly known as Yopo and Epena, respectively. Elsewhere in the Amazon, DMT-containing plants like Psychotria veridis are included in brews known as Ayahuasca or Yage. 1.
Interview with Wade Davis: Part I – altered states Anthropologist and explorer Wade Davis recently gave a talk at Medellín’s fantastic science museum Parque Explorer and myself and science journalist Ana María Jaramillo managed to grab some of his time to discuss altered states of consciousness and cultural diversity. If you’re not familiar with Davis’ work, his TED talk on ‘Cultures at the far edge of the world’ is a great place to start. It was a particular pleasure to talk to Davis in Medellín, because he has had a long connection with the city, previously holding a post at the Botanic Garden, and has extensive experience of Colombia. His book, One River, discusses his time in Colombia as a student of the legendary botanist and explorer Richard Evans Schultes who was the first to scientifically describe numerous psychoactive plants and substances – including the famous psychedelic of the Amazon peoples – yagé or ayuhuasca. Ana María: I’d like to know how cultural context transforms the effect of a mind-altering substance.
Ayahuasca, DMT and UFOs Some Important Iconographical Motifs: Space-ships The spaceship motif has an important place in Pablo's visions. As we saw earlier, when the curandera who cured his sister gave him ayahuasca, Pablo saw a huge flying saucer making a tremendous noise that made him panic (Vision 7). He told me - with tears in his eyes - that the main icaro he employed to cure many people he learned from a fairy called Altos Cielos Nieves Tenebrosas, who came in a blue spaceship: She asked me: "Do you want to listen to my song?" In spite of the frequency with which Pablo depicts spaceships, he is sparse in his commentary about them. A similar idea has been reported by German anthropologist Angelika Gebhart-Sayer. On several occasions Gebhart-Sayer herself saw soundless yellowish lights about the size of a football, moving about 400 meters away, and about one meter above the ground.
