There’s a great book about myth, meaning, and metaphysics by the philosopher Bernardo Kastrup called More Than Allegory. He talks about the need for a new myth today and set out to provide one and the story he tells is of a participant in something almost exactly like DMTx. The first half is non fiction, but the last section is a telling of this “myth”, which is really just a story of a participant’s interactions with a hyper dimensional intelligence facilitated by an extended DMT drip.
Highly recommend it! The stuff on the power of myth is incredible but the final story is perfect. Especially if, like me, you can’t wait to hear the future trip reports from DMTx participants. It scratches that itch - a little bit.
I take it these folks never considered Changa. monoamine oxidase inhibitors are pretty easy to come by, and you don't have to stick needles in your arm.
I was a supporter of the DMTx project until I came to realize that participants were selected based on totally non-transparent criteria, after "applying" with hundreds of dollars to even be considered (let alone the thousands of dollars it cost to participate if you were accepted). They wouldn't explain to applicants why they were denied either. It's sad to know that this research is being gated in such ways.
I can only hope that with the new laws in Colorado, that it will open up the doors for other groups to partake in such research without going through the same hoops. It honestly felt like I was joining a church and being told I had to participate in X, Y and Z beliefs before being able to take communion.
The DMT space belongs to everyone, not just those with their own weird agendas (financial or not). I'm a huge fan of your work, I just wish others had your fortitude because I know from first hand experience that the selection process was tainted.
DMTx makes for interesting research. However, if it merely stabilises and lengthens breakthrough the results will still be a research volunteer explaining what they have seen - essentially, a more detailed trip report. In the soon-to-be-published DMT & My Occult Mind 3📚 I will address head on the metaphysical mechanics at play during DMT breakthroughs.
I wonder could we use devices such as Neuralink to be used as an interface to get the data out of DMT space, interface alternative to just relying on memory. Maybe psychenaut could ask the "all powerful" aliens to spit some bits out through the attached interface ;) On more down to earth approach, does Neuralink with its 1024 channels, is it even connected to part of brain that is even active, and could transmit. Maybe it is just equivalent of someone on DMT trying to type on the keyboard... Any thoughts ? Does recent scans from Imperial College's new DMT fMRI/EEG study gives us anything in regards to interfaces like that or rather the activity in the region that Neuralink taps into ?
I'm very curious about your thoughts on devising ways to communicate with people in the throes of a breakthrough DMT experience. I've read Alien Information Theory and am working my way through Reality Switch Technologies, but if DMT truly alters the pattern-rule mappings that allows for the emergence of brain states that gates the information from (potentially) orthogonal dimensions, would this not essentially prevent the brain from processing data from consensus reality? I've typically smoked DMT alone, so I'm not particularly aware of to what extent it's still possible to process external sensory input while in a breakthrough state, but my experience is that it's pretty limited.
I have extensive experience with extending the experience of smoking N,N,DMT by inhaling at 3 minute intervals prolonging the peak significantly, longest so far was 40mins. I am very interested in being a participant in a study administering an iv drip.
I used to ask Rick for the continuous DMT drip in 1994..
