DMT, the Pineal Gland, and a couple theories

well in this sense you get to live 80 so years before the creators death, I can imagine that will be pretty intense from what Ive already experienced. Its got to be the best kept big bang secret.. Im happy for what Ive got so far..
more so would be great if we could all so experience it together..

 

Its not about thoughts. People say your normal train of thought or state of mind is left relatively untouched. Your just launched into a completely alien and bizarre world, that we havent figured out yet. As far as it not being a "realm" or "real" ill let morpheus take it from here.
"what is real? how do you define real? If you think real is what you can taste, see, smell and touch then real is simply electrical signals being interpreted by your brain."
We experience this reality in our brains. Its also interesting to note that in a sensory deprivation chamber one starts hallucinating. Found that out today.

Only way to find out is through experience

 

Yes. A random construction of atoms and things that are even smaller than that. The reason why we have been created is because we just were. Nothing more than that. There could be things much greater than what we are now, and the reason why they were created is simply because they were.

Life is just a field of happening events in relation to time and position.

Ask yourself, "Why does there have to be a reason?" Is there a reason for everything? If you've ever had a psychedelic experience, you figure out that you are nothing different than anything else, and everything is completely relative. I am no different than a rock burried underneath my feet. If this logic is translated to reason, then my reason of my creation is the same as a rock, for I am the exact same thing fundamentally. I am just more advanced in compound make up, which was grown from time.

 

ever wondering why your created and a prisoner on a planet in the middle of nowhere galaxy?... you wouldnt even know it if there wasnt a teaching center first.. Learn .

 

I have read most of what you all had to say about the DMT trips and the relation to the Pineal gland. I have been researching the relationship between the Pineal gland and DMT and have yet to find any evidence that says that DMT has been found in that location. Dr. Strassman's work was based on of Dr. Callaways theory that DMT could be synthesized in the pineal gland since all the needed precursors were located there. Others before Callaway have suggested that not DMT but LSD-25 was synthesized in that location. I have yet to find any other real work done on the subject since Dr. Strassmans work. The pineal glad does produce tryptamine, pinoline, and melatonin in its process of producing serotonin. These processes do happen while our eyes are closed or in the dark, and there is significant evidence that shows that some type of psychedelic is produced at this time.

In the case of lucid dreaming and psychedelic experiences. I have had reliable people who are experienced in lucid dreaming as well as psychedelic usage and they have concluded that under low usage and in the transitional phase that both are extremely similar. The out come however is very different. I would say in the accounts that I have read about, psychedelics allow for a unnatural induction of the sleep phases and result in a different type of "sleeping" mind. The only thing I can not explain is the similarities in experiences of users and those of OBE. I however tend to stick with science and know that during both experiences the brain is modulated in a way that resemble each other, and that its very possible that the hallucinations are the result of a confused mind. The other side wants to believe that there is more to life and that your experiences are real and something is going on. I hope that the later is right.

I have taken the time to post the research I find on a blog that a few people help with. If you are interested in the research and want to read more please feel free to visit and post your comments. Also I am working on a paper that I hope will be done in the next few months on the specific topic of sleep phases and psychedelic uses. I will be posting it on the blog as well.

Good luck and happy trippin
