Dimethyltryptamine

DMT: Known as the spirit molecule.

I have done excessive research on dimethyltryptamine, with my major of chemical engineering allowing me to pursue this molecule, and it has caused me to become more religious.
I have written some blog articles on other sites, please let me know your thoughts on it if you know of it.
EDIT I FOUND MY ARTICLE:

Dimethyltryptamine(known as DMT) is, I would say, the molecule with the most elusive reaction ever. This molecule is apart of the tryptamine family, a family that includes serotonin & such neurotransmitters. So, as you can assume, this compound “DMT” is actually produced and found naturally in leaves, animal skin, and, the most important, the human brain. In the human brain, this compound is released once three months into the development of a new born baby in the womb, and once when the mind and body undergo extraneous pressure and stress, mostly responsible for the “near-death” experiences. On a side note, it reacts with your pineal gland(which scientists know not too much about). DMT is also a naturally occurring, and one of the strongest, psychedelic drugs known. This is why people claim to have seen a white light and various indescribable figures for a brief moment in time before they are rescued from the “near death”. Now, this compound is retrieved in a crystalline form by separating the alkaloid property of the specific plant or animal part through certain chemical procedures (quite simply, it is kind of like cooking). If the extraction provides a crystalline drug as a result, then it is smoked, while the impure alkaloid gummy-ish solution is meant to be swallowed. After ingesting and/or inhaling the drug, the compound reacts with the hypothalamus in an almost instant, and users report seeing their body as they fly out into what they can only describe as the “tenth dimension”, which is an exaggeration of the “trip” they are experiencing. Experiences have an almost exact report of various colored figures and entities, a light that cannot be described, and basically everything that would be considered a metaphysical wonder to the human mind. In other words, the experience is ineffable. Now, in multiple religions, the soul is transferred into the body(while in the womb) in what would be the first trimester, which is when the DMT is activated in the pineal gland. Coincidence? Maybe not. Everyone should definitely read up on this and form their own opinions!

The idea of "out of body" experiences that are all connected cause me to believe that the soul is placed inside the pineal gland. I do also believe that the "soul" outside of the body is something considered either fourth dimensional(because it is not too understandable how it can be any of the defined conceptual idea dimensions higher than that the fourth), or that it involves a certain wave that we cannot detect. If it is extra-dimensional, then the physics and science of this is almost unreachable as it would be like the third dimensional physics equivalent of discovering fire for the first time, however if it is an extrasensory wave, then it might be possible.... However I doubt that it is extrasensory-related.

Mind you that people have gone completely brain dead and experienced hallucinogenic properties in their "minds", only to be resuscitated by doctors again.

The reason it has caused me to be more religious is because the Q'uran, along with the Bible, both have correlations on when the soul is implanted and how and when it leaves the body. Again, the above article will explain the gestation of the baby inside the womb. Also, the description of what happens when you leave the body- the angel of death, the moments that occur, the details of exit from the body, etc.

I am Muslim-Mexican by the way.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I AM WRITING RIGHT NOW:

-During the time you take DMT, the second you inhale it or ingest it, you lose complete control of your body for five minutes to twenty minutes if taken normally. It is during this time that you remain motionless while you are alive in your "mind".
-DMT is considered one of the most illegal substances, a schedule one drug, although it has no adversely negative/permanent side effects.
-DMT actually was derived from the leaf ayahuasca by Amazonian tribes people, which was extracted from the leaf by cooking it and drinking the impure alkaloid substance.
-It can be found in certain frog poison secreted from skin, certain animal glands that are not located in the brain, and specific plants.

 

How does a molecule cause one to be more religious?

 

Please explain further?

 

I did some research and it appears that it is one of the main ingredients used in the drink ayahuasca. The drink is used in religious (mainly christian) ceremonies, which is where I guess he is getting these new found religious feelings from.

 

isnt that like the most illegal drug? Ive heard it has great trips but theyre short.
also can you elaborate more in the OP? youre not leaving many things to discuss

 

Sorry I thought it was widely known, yes it's schedule one drug, & I have at some point in time attempted to make it with slight success, I'll type something up or use one of my old blogs about it if I can find it.

^I added the topic.

And not for Christians, for mostly Amazonian tribesmen wanting to contact the spirit world.


The drug can last five minutes if inhaled, but 20 minutes or more if ingested orally. It is THE strongest hallucinogenic drug.

I have created DMT one time with a certain reed grass, but I couldn't get it to be in a perfectly alkaloid-crystalline form.

 

Well, the fact that it's been used in religious history doesn't necessarily support the claim that it makes you more religious.


With a heavy interest in biology and chemistry this really intrigues me. I think I'm going to do more research.


Also, what kind of school will allow you to create a Schedule I drug? I may not know what I'm talking about here though. Or you could have done it on your own.. which doesn't sound smart.

 

I said no ADVERSE negative side effects.

I know much more about this drug than most people, I'm not bragging, I'm just stating that I do know all of the short-lived side effects, and I have created it myself.

Of course if you overdose it will more than likely put you in a vegetative state.

Now, this is true that you lose control of your body for an interval of time, I'll add that in there for more information, thank you for pointing it out.

 

I'm sorry if I sounded rude there. I misread your paragraph and later edited out part of my comment.

 

No problem!
As I said, thank you for pointing it out!

Also, I am opposed to taking all forms of drugs, and DMT is not something that police really search for, you just have to buy some reed canary grass and extract the alkaloid from it(in essence that sums it up). But yes it is quite illegal to have possession of it, hence the reason I disposed of it after a little experimenting.

DEFINITELY NOT SCHOOL LOL, DEEEEFINITELY NOT SCHOOL.

Smart of me? Debatable. But regardless, it was for my own personal understanding of the molecule along with its chemical properties., I care not for others' perspective on why I am experimenting(without consuming) with a certain compound. I have my own debate on that topic ... But that is for something else

 

Extracting DMT is really trivial, I don't know why you guys are making such a big deal about it. Also, didn't bother reading op's article so I'm not sure if it mentions this, but DMT is naturally created in the human brain (namely when we die). Kinda ridiculous how something that's created by our own body can be considered an illegal huh?

 

Our bodies are hardwired to accept this . It so simple

 

Thanks for your guys' feedback, but yes, DMT may be abused, but it is literally harmless in terms of physiological states. It does, however, cause an immense mental strain(basically the feeling of unfathomable experience) if one is not mentally prepared.

Any perspectives on the soul and DMT???

 

All hallucinogens do. Preparedness is what makes the difference between a really good and a really shitty experience.

 

Haha yes! I wish UCLA allowed research in LSD.

 

Answering this question would be like describing colors to a blind person. DMT is just an experience that you need to personally do. It will change your life for ever, i promise you that.

 

I agree with the above comment have you personally tried it?

 

Relgion, according to some new scientific studies, can be triggered by a part of the brain. It will give you something like a God experience, so it isn't really making you more religious it is probably just causing a chemical reaction in your brain. Never tried it and don't plan on it, just thought I would throw my two cents into the discussion.

 

DMT is honestly one of the few things that I must try before I die.

 

Not really. Religion requires faith. How does empirical evidence over the capability of a molecule in our brain increase ones faith in their belief? What happens, does the experience overwhelm them and they become more faithful? Are they incredulous to how this could've occurred naturally so they become more faithful? Is it side-effect of the molecule?
