DMT: The Spirit Molecule: A Doctors Revolutionary Research into the Biology of NearDeath and Mystical Experiences

A clinical psychiatrist explores the effects of DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. A behindthescenes look at the cutting edge of psychedelic research. Provides a unique scientific explanation for the phenomenon of alien abduction experiences.From 1990 to 1995 Dr. Rick Strassman conducted U.S. Governmentapproved and funded clinical research at the University of New Mexico in which he injected sixty volunteers with DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics known. His detailed account of those sessions is an extraordinarily riveting inquiry into the nature of the human mind and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. DMT, a plantderived chemical found in the psychedelic Amazon brew, ayahuasca, is also manufactured by the human brain. In Strassmans volunteers, it consistently produced neardeath and mystical experiences. Many reported convincing encounters with intelligent nonhuman presences, aliens, angels, and spirits. Nearly all felt that the sessions were among the most profound experiences of their lives.Strassmans research connects DMT with the pineal gland, considered by Hindus to be the site of the seventh chakra and by Rene Descartes to be the seat of the soul. DMT: The Spirit Molecule makes the bold case that DMT, naturally released by the pineal gland, facilitates the souls movement in and out of the body and is an integral part of the birth and death experiences, as well as the highest states of meditation and even sexual transcendence. Strassman also believes that alien abduction experiences are brought on by accidental releases of DMT. If used wisely, DMT could trigger a period of remarkable progress in the scientific exploration of the most mystical regions of the human mind and soul.
