DMT & Forteana
Both Micah Hanks and DMT may be familiar to readers of this blog. Now, you can find both in one article, as Micah has written about the very subject himself.
As he says:
The notion that something from within our bodies could be considered an illegal substance seems rather odd to me. However, this is very much the case with the powerful drug Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), active ingredient in the mysterious shamanic ayahuasca tea used by native cultures around the world for vision quests, which also happens to be found in the human body.
The catch is that we don’t know exactly where the DMT is created, though pioneering psychedelics researcher Dr. Rick Strassman has suggested that, in theory, the stuff could be produced within the human pineal gland, which Renee Descartes famously proposed “was the point of mediation between the material body and the immaterial soul.” In the realms of both fact and fiction, the pineal gland has occasionally played an important role with regard to man’s supposed innate abilities to “unlock” psychic powers from within, allowing us to perceive distant worlds which, to the naked senses in our typical day-to-day state of mind, remain hidden. H.P. Lovecraft’s maniacal character Crawford Tillinghast from the short story From Beyond described it as such:
“You have heard of the pineal gland? I laugh at the shallow endocrinologist, fellow-dupe and fellow-parvenu of the Freudian. That gland is the great sense organ of organs - I have found out. It is like sight in the end, and transmits visual pictures to the brain. If you are normal, that is the way you ought to get most of it… I mean get most of the evidence from beyond.”
And here’s the rest of Micah’s post.

Yeah I posted a comment to Micah’s DMT blog but I wasn’t registered for his blog (I had thought my same wordpress name for this blog would work).
Just today I felt obliged to tell the local occult-herb bookstore owners about my ayahuasca experience. They asked if it is like pscilocybin. (sp) I said it’s way stronger and one of the dudes said yeah because it’s DMT.
The lower astral realm “entities” are just our subconscious dream-beings which is why I was able to use qigong full-lotus to over-ride any hallucinations (the same with my salvia experiments).
Joe McMoneagle makes the same distinction between remote viewing and an OBE — the latter has to be powered by the lower body. DMT definitely opens up the lower body chakras (especially when guided by the full-lotus) but the kundalini energy is still electrochemical based since it’s a plant. Pure alchemy relies on building up the electromagnetic fields and that’s when real spirit travel and long-distance healing occurs.
Nevertheless a strong DMT trip is definitely death-defying. I was sure I wasn’t coming back and the DMT definitely opened up the rainbow energy of my body-mind to demonstrate how there is a consciousness in control of the universe.

There’s a new documentary on DMT schedule to come out here in the near future. Here’s the info & a link.
The Spirit Molecule weaves a story of dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a potent, naturally occurring psychoactive compound. The crux of the film tracks Dr. Rick Strassman’s government sanctioned human DMT research and its many trials, tribulations, achievements, and inconceivable realizations. Ultimately, The Spirit Molecule explores the connections between cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics, and human spirituality. http://WWW.THESPIRITMOLECULE.COM
