DMT... aliens or god? What is the 'presence'

Only smoke deems a few times but I don't find it to even be as potent as say 1000 mics of good L. I've discussed it with a bunch of people and most of the really hardcore acid heads I know feel the same way.
while taking high doses of L is very powerful i dont think anything compares to deems, if you smoke enough of that shit you will seriously blast off into another universe, the only way u can do that with lsd is if you take ALOT of it, and then it can become scary, but so can dmt, i thought i had died and was reborn the fist time i smoked dmt, no joke, powerful stuff.

I really think there is something more to hallucinogens than simply 'drugs'. Another interesting fact is spores can travel the vacuum of space without degrading, making mushrooms very possibly alien.
:clap: agreed!

Yes, i absolutley agree with you veg, smoeone who hasnt done dmt should not be even commenting on this because there opinion is nil
:hug: thank you!!!

I fear you may be in trouble with team troll though, good luck!

I can't imagine taking acid again after i've been introduced to DMT lol, i loved it for years, but the comedown isn't worth it to me anymore now i can 'breakthrough' on deems which i feel is more potent and dosen't require a 24 hour commitment lol

Lol..if you're thinkings correct,prove it..take 3 tenstrips..see what a blast off is..in 5 mins your vision goes to fractals..for 8 hours,not 5 mins...

There's no commitment with lsd..you eat it till you pass out.period.
Oh but you do commit to 8 hours with acid, then the comedown,horrible! then the nasty dirty feeling but i can breakthrough on my tea break with dmt and have no lingering effects?

Bro good clean acid doesnt have a nasty dirty comedown, honestly. Acid still doesnt compare to breaking through on DMT. Shroom holing for hours on end is about as close to DMT breakthrough as you can get, but even then, you are still 'semi-conscious', dreaming awake. DMT is like, YOU DIED MOTHER FUCKER, WASSUP NOW.

ditto, but im waiting on rory's 30 acid breakthroughs vs a strong hit of dmt ?

Terrance McKenna and DMT
The molecule DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) is a psychoactive chemical that causes intense visions and can induce its users to quickly enter a completely different "environment" that some have likened to an alien or parallel universe. The transition from our world to theirs occurs with no cessation of consciousness or quality of awareness. In this environment, beings often appear who interact with the person who is using DMT. The beings appear to inhabit this parallel realm. The DMT experience has the feel of reality in terms of detail and potential for exploration. The creatures encountered are often identified as being alienlike or elflike. Some of the creatures appear to be three-dimensional. Others appear to lack depth.

Author Terence McKenna has used DMT and feels that, "Right here and now, one quanta away, there is raging a universe of active intelligence that is transhuman, hyperdimensional, and extremely alien... What is driving religious feeling today is a wish for contact with this other universe." The aliens seen while using DMT present themselves "with information that is not drawn from the personal history of the individual."



DMT is also naturally produced in small quantities in the human brain, and it has been hypothesized that DMT is produced in the pineal gland in the brain. The pineal gland appears in the developing human fetus around 49 days after conception. Perhaps an embryo should not be considered human until DMT production commences. Note that "zygotic personhood" (the idea that a fertilized egg is a person) is a recent concept. For example, before 1869, the Catholic church believed that the embryo was not a person until it was 40 days old. Naturally occurring DMT may play a role in near-death experiences and alien-abduction experiences.
Is it possible that the reality exposed to humans by injecting DMT is in some sense a valid reality, on par with our normal reality? Our minds, which evolved to help us run from lions on the African savannas, might not be engineered to see these other realities under normal circumstances.

What is the guarantee that our minds are naturally designed to sense the "true reality"? Perhaps there is no guarantee. If this concept seems weird, consider a far-fetched example. Imagine a creature or phenomena that has been lurking among us since the dawn of evolution. If our ancient ancestors died every time they perceived the phenomena, evolution would favor creatures who did not perceive the creatures or phenomena. One might counter this argument by saying that our modern instruments, such as X-ray machines and cameras, should be able to make the creatures apparent to us, even if our unaided sensorium is not up to the task. Reasoning further, because our instruments have not made these realms apparent to us, the realms must not be real. However, perhaps our traditional instruments and theories are also not up to the task. Or perhaps our interpretation of the instruments' results is incomplete. Perhaps DMT is an instrument.

As a metaphor, consider infrared goggles. A person leans on a tree. At night, we don't see the person. Put the goggles on, and a new reality results — a truer reality — and we see the man. Similarly, is it possible that our brain is a filter, and the use of DMT is like slipping on infrared goggles, allowing us to perceive a valid reality that is inches away and all around us?
This is very very interesting

"I did my best in the DMT book to differentiate between what is known, and what I was conjecturing about (based upon what is known), regarding certain aspects of DMT dynamics. However, it's amazing how ineffective my efforts seem to have been. So many people write me, or write elsewhere, about DMT, and the pineal, assuming that the things I conjecture about are true. When I was writing the book, I thought I was clear enough, and repeating myself would have gotten tedious.

"We don't know whether DMT is made in the pineal. I muster a lot of circumstantial evidence supporting a reason to look long and hard at the pineal, but we do not yet know. There are data suggesting urinary DMT rises in psychotic patients when their psychosis is worse. However, we don't know whether DMT rises during dreams, meditation, near-death, death, birth or any other endogenous altered state. To the extent those states resemble those brought on by giving DMT, it certainly makes one wonder if endogenous DMT might be involved, and if it were, it would explain a lot. But we don't know yet. Even if the pineal weren't involved, that would have little overall effect on my theories regarding a role for DMT in endogenous altered states, because we do know that the gene involved in DMT synthesis is present in many organs, particularly lung. If the pineal made DMT, it would tie up a lot of loose ends regarding this enigmatic little organ. But people seem to live pretty normals lives without a pineal gland; for example, when it has had to be removed because of a tumor.

"In both these regards--the pineal-DMT connection, and endogenous DMT dynamics--we ought to know a lot more within the next several years due to the efforts of a research group being led by Steven Barker at Louisiana State University. He, with his grad student Ethan McIlhenny, are developing a new super-assay for DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, bufotenine, and metabolites. This assay will be capable of detecting those compounds much more sensitively than previous generations of assays. They're looking at endogenous levels in awake sober normals, to assess baseline values of these compounds. We should have some data from those samples within a year. They also will be looking at pineal tissue. Once we have some baseline data in normal humans in normal waking consciousness, comparisons can be made between those levels and levels in endogenous altered states, like dreams, near-death, and so on."

So even the guy ineverveg claims as an authority find inev's ideas to be unproven? How about that...

Assuming you have no experience with DMT, why are you still chipping in with bullshit research you have done about a molecule you have no experience with when the thread is about what you think the presence is, you cant possibly comment on,or comprehend what we are discussing without first hand knowledge of the presence thing ,whatever people think it is..

Yes, i absolutley agree with you veg, smoeone who hasnt done dmt should not be even commenting on this because there opinion is nil
you are the ass boy!

So the fact that your good doctor says you're full of shit is meaningless? You sure were quoting the shit out of him in this thread. Enjoy being our resident pigeon.

Regarding the thread though,what is the presence iyo?, aliens or god or or neither we are all entitled to our opinions ,or are we? do you have an opinion on the subject of this thread at all regarding your dmt experiences?
